    We are very lucky in our town in South Wales, we DO have a nappy pick up. They are recycled. Happy days

    What about the biodegradable wipes? Are we able to compost these at home? Or get rid of these, easier, then explained with the nappies?

    Very useful RE biodegradable. However inaccurate regarding the reusables. It is actually recommended to air dry them both for longevity and to make them
    Smell more fresh. So the ‘drying on a high heat’ is misleading. The Recommended air drying obviously uses less energy.

    What about Elimination communication instead of only using a nappy! Look into it people. It’s amazing. I have a 9 month old whose confident in simply knickers all day who goes on the potty. This is achievable for every baby! To Get rid of nappies before they’re one would be the answer ! ;)
