One big undeniable feature of babies is the enormous amount of nappies you get through, but never want to have to mention to anyone. Each child puts almost a tonne of disposable nappies into landfill in their life time. That’s a lot of... well you can work it out.

These days, washable nappies are as easy to use as disposable but with the added bonus of saving you a large amount of money, and reducing your black sack waste considerably. There is an initial outlay buying a set of 18 or 24 or so, but after that it is an massive saving – until your child grows up a bit and then you have to invest in the next size up. What is more, the Worcester Nappy Library can help. They have a facebook page.

They found that with no prior experience of washable nappies, looking for information online or asking advice from friends can be overwhelming, and many parents just decide against using them all together rather than wade through all the information out there by themselves. But reusable nappies can be fantastic, fun and very easy!

They do frequent roadshows throughout the county. You can come and look at the nappies, feel the texture, ask questions about them like how to wash them, look at the styles, and even borrow everything you need to try out cloth nappies before you decide anything. No question is too silly, they’ve been through it all themselves.

They have over 1,000 reusable nappies that they can loan out so that parents can trial different types of nappy and find what is best for them and their child.
