If you’re prepping for parenthood, have you thought about your nappy choice? Reusable nappies have come a long way in the last few years and have a range of benefits for your baby, your pocket, and the planet. Did you know that around 250 million single-use nappies are thrown away every day? That’s a staggering statistic, and each of those nappies can take up to 500 years to decompose. Disposable nappies either fester in landfill or, in the majority, are incinerated, causing further pollution.
Introducing Bambino Mio who have been working hard for families for over 27 years and are now making strides in their mission to clean up the mess single-use nappies have made.
How Do Reusable Nappies Work?
If you’re imagining old-school squares of terry towelling and safety pins, think again! Modern reusable nappies are the next-generation solution for eco-conscious parents. Bambino Mio’s new Revolutionary Reusable Nappy is designed to fit your baby from newborn all the way through to potty training - meaning no need to buy different sizes as your little one grows – and no last-minute dashes to the supermarket when you run out!
For full-time use, Bambino Mio suggest you’ll need around 20 nappies (as newborns go through 8-10 nappy changes a day), ensuring you always have some ready while others are being washed and dried. But many parents will also opt to combine reusable nappies with disposables – in this case around 10 nappies will do the job. Often parents begin by using reusables at home before transitioning completely. The process is simple: just like disposables, you put them on as usual, change as usual, but instead of throwing them away, you set them aside for washing and reuse. That’s it!
How easy is it to wash reusable nappies?
Gone are the days of washboards and overnight soaking - thanks to modern washing machines, cleaning reusable nappies is now a breeze. You simply pop them in your washing machine on a 40 degree wash with your normal non-biological detergent. Bambino Mio even have their own fuss-free laundry sheets you can use instead of messy pods, powders and liquids.
Better for the planet, better for your baby
Beyond the environmental benefits, reusable nappies are made from high-performing, super-absorbent materials and are free from the chemical gels found in disposable nappies, which can cause irritation. This means less chance of nappy rash and healthier skin for your baby!
And here’s a bonus: anecdotal evidence suggests that babies who wear reusable nappies may find it easier to transition to potty training, as they can better associate the sensation of wetness with the need to use the toilet.
Save money while making a difference
Choosing reusable nappies isn’t just great for the environment and your baby’s health—it’s also kinder to your pocket. Parents can save up to £700 by using reusable nappies full-time for their first child, and even more (an additional £1000!) if they reuse them for further children.
