The 2008 Real Nappy week is encouraging parents of young tots in the Western Isles to reduce household waste by switching to Real Nappies. The 2008 Real Nappy week, which takes place on the 21st – 27th April, is co-ordinated by Community Recycling Network Scotland (CRNS) and supported by Waste Aware Scotland.
Modern real nappies are very practical and offer parents and parents to be an alternative to disposable nappies. Using real nappies can bring real savings, not just for your purse but also for the environment:
- Save around £500 per child
- Convenient to wash and dry
- Easy to use and comfortable for baby
- Reduces your household waste, which goes to landfill sites
Helen Brown, CRNS Real Nappy Coordinator for Scotland said: “There is now such a range that parents can choose real nappies to suit their own personal style. With the new easy-to-use designs, real nappies provide the performance parents demand while giving them a chance to save money and save waste at the same time. Parents-to-be can now ask their midwife and health visitor to see the Real Nappy Resource Pack, containing labelled Real Nappy samples and receive an information booklet in ante and postnatal education to help them make informed choices about which nappy system to use on their baby.”
Using real nappies is as easy as ABC! But don’t just take our word for it; discover everything you need to know about using washable real nappies at the Glasgow Baby Show. Come along to the Midwives and Health Visitors stand (431C) at the Glasgow Baby Show, SECC on 25th–27th April 2008, 10–5pm and enter the competition to win one a Real Nappy trial Packs.
