Cloth Nappies
There are a range of environmental, financial and health benefits associated with using reusable nappies.
- On average, a child will use 6000 disposable nappies before they are toilet trained.
- Babies require around 500 nappy changes just in their first 6 weeks of life.
- 5.6 million disposable nappies* are used each day in Australia.
- This adds up to more than 2 billion nappies per year. (*2009 IBIS World Australia report).
