Help to make cloth simple
Because we've been there ourselves!
I vividly remember during my pregnancy with my first son when my curiosity in reusable cloth nappies was sparked. An eco-friendly, cost-effective option with cute patterns – I was definitely keen to explore!!
But as an overly enthusiastic first-time mum in the depths of researching and buying baby items and balking at mounting costs (geek confession – I actually put together my own pram comparison spreadsheet!) I soon started feeling even more overwhelmed.
Cloth nappies explained
There were a number of retailer websites and Facebook review pages but many left me with more questions than answers. So many acronyms and terms that I didn’t understand – all-in-one (AIO) vs all-in-two (AI2), pocket nappies, boosting – the list went on!
My partner and I enthusiastically attended our local baby expo to see a number of cloth nappy retailers and it was helpful to see live demonstrations of different types and brands. However I still left feeling confused by all the choice and nervous about investing money up-front when I wasn’t sure if we’d be able to stick to the cloth nappy lifestyle.
Never fear – Cloth Nappy Info is here to help! If my geeky spreadsheets and overzealous research can help another mum my efforts will not have been in vain!
