Real Nappy Week
Real Nappy Week
The Nappy Lady
As you can see from the above, it’s real nappy week this week. Another opportunity for me to get on my ‘green’ soapbox!! The annual campaign to prevent us all being buried under a mountain of disposable nappies that won’t degrade in my grandchildren’s lifetime!!! But it’s not just that – it’s the chemicals and oil and other resources required to manufacture them. There’s such a mind-boggling choice of cloth nappies around now that there must be something to suit everyone. And if you can’t handle the idea of washing them, then you can subscribe to a washing service – which might be even better economically because of those economies of scale and so on.
Definately something I think every new parent needs to think about. And also something more hospitals need to consider – why not allow the nappy washing companies to collect from hospital so that women who may not have considered it before get the chance to try out the service?
And if you want to take it one step further, why not consider reuseable sanitary protection. I assure you it’s not as icky as you might think, and far more comfortable than disposable stuff.
