Money Saving Hints and Tips
Try a few different types of nappies before you buy a whole birth to potty set. If this is your first baby and you plan to have more than one child, dont forget that the set of nappies you buy will be a big part of your life for several years! You can always build up your collection over time and this will help to avoid costly mistakes.
Having said that, by far the most economical option is to buy a set of One-size nappies, i.e. BumGenius or Motherease One-size.
Fleece liners can be made easily at home from a piece of fleece from a remnant box in a fabric shop. Fleece does not fray so no hemming involved!
Buying a set of washable wipes can save £8 per month compared to disposable wipes. You just sling them in the nappy bucket along with the nappies. You will probably need about 30. The fleece/terry double sided wipes also make great fleece-topped boosters in tiny newborn nappies.
The Ultra paper liners can be washed and used again if they are only wet, not soiled. We also found that the washed paper liners made excellent wipes once sprayed with water.
Why not try getting by with only 12 nappies and having some terry squares with nippa fasteners (rather than pins) in reserve? Knowing you are going to have to fold those terry squares will get you organised with the washing!
A very cheap source of inserts for stuffable pocket nappies are microfibre cleaning cloths from supermarkets. (89p for three from Tesco.) They are very thin, so dry quickly, and are great for boosting your regular insert (not thick enough on their own). Wash them a few times before use to increase their absorbency.
Sell unwanted nappies some of the better known brands fetch close to retail price second hand.
