My advice is that when you are choosing baby nappies, make sure that they are made from natural fibers, are free from harmful chemicals, and don’t cost the earth!

You would think that it would be so simple to choose nappies for your new baby,Which Baby Nappies? Articles but you would be wrong! There are so many different types, brands, shapes and sizes on the market that the whole process can actually become quite daunting. 

Some of the cheapest disposable nappies often contain nasty chemicals such as bleach and chemical gels, which can cause rashes and damaged skin. You would also be shocked to learn that nearly 8 million nappies are thrown away in the UK every day, and 90% of these end up in landfill where they can take up to 500 years to biodegrade!

Real nappies are more expensive to buy, are more time consuming to wash, but can save you up to £500 in the long run (compared to using disposables). Also, as a result of our increasing waste management problem, some local authorities are now offering mothers an incentive to choose real nappies over disposables. For instance, Denbighshire County Council are now offering mothers vouchers worth up to £75, which can be used in part-payment for the purchase of real nappies.

You may be thinking that you would like the convenience of a disposable, but without the guilt?
