Reduce waste and save money with cloth nappies

Forget the old pink striped nappies, pins, soaking, hot washing and time-consuming folding. Today, cloth nappies look exactly like a disposable but the only difference is that you throw them in the washing machine instead of the rubbish bin. She'll take you through your options and help you find the right nappy for your baby's bottom.
