Cheap nappies?

Posted on November 7, 2011 by jenny

One of our biggest expenses is nappies. We’ve always used the same brand as they are reliable and work for us. However, I recently saw a discussion on twitter that suggested quite a lot of people were using supermarket own brand nappies. Cheap nappies? Yes please! The other day I was out with a friend…

Wrap and go

With an average of  5,000 nappy changes to do between birth and potty training, ensuring germs and smells…

A moan about nappies

Posted on June 14, 2011 by jenny

I found this post as a draft that has been hanging around since November 2010! Time unfortunately hasn’t helped so I thought I would post it in case anyone can help. I have to rant about disposable nappies. Ages ago we were asked to test Huggies natural fit nappies. During the day the nappies were…

Tales of poo

Posted on April 7, 2011 by jenny

The topic of poo must surely rank at the top of new parents conversations. Childless, poo was taboo. As a new mum I could talk about poo with friends, family and strangers on the bus, in a shop or at the park. A year on I still have poo stories to tell my husband when…

Posted on March 22, 2011July 28, 2015 by jenny

A while ago I attended a Nappucino to learn more about real nappies. The Borough I live in give vouchers towards the cost of real nappies to encourage people to give them a go. To be honest I have struggled with real nappies but I try to use them whenever I can, especially when we…

Posted on March 9, 2011May 2, 2012 by jenny

We’re really fortunate that Edward is a good sleeper. However, not everyone baby is a good sleeper and the latest Pampers campaign may be of interest. As part of the launch of the new Baby-Dry nappy, Pampers have just launched the Land of Golden Sleep where mums can find helpful hints and tips to help…

Nappuccino

Posted on July 23, 2010August 11, 2015 by jenny

A couple of weeks ago Edward and I went along to a Nappuccino organised by a lovely lady from The Washable Nappy Co.  Ages ago a friend gave me a leaflet about real nappies and I was interested to try them out for many reasons: 8 million nappies are thrown away in Britain every day…
