- Around three billion nappies are thrown away each year in the UK
- Disposable nappies account for 2-3% of all household waste
- By the time they’re potty trained the average baby will have used 4,000-6,000 disposable nappies, or 20-30 reusable ones
- Reusable nappies can save parents between £200-500 over the course of a child’s nappy wearing time, and even more if they’re used for subsequent children
- By using real nappies, the average household waste of families with babies can be halved!
- Around 25% of a disposable nappy is plastic
- Disposable nappies use up to three and half times more energy to make than reusable nappies

And for a first time user, reusable nappies can seem really complicated and more than a little daunting.
Which is why it's fab to have Laura Tweedale joining us a for whistlestop tour and beginners guide to all things reusable nappies.
