Using Real Nappies
Real nappies are washable
nappies, which can be laundered and used over and over again
for your baby and subsequent babies too.
Northumberland County Council runs a very
attractive incentive scheme to reward and encourage families to
'give real nappies a go'.
Save money by using Real Nappies
By using real nappies you can save money,
(£600+ for your first baby, more for subsequent), you can cover
your babies' bottom with a lovely soft and fluffy alternative to a
disposable nappy and you can save the waste which ends up in your
wheeled bin.
