Introducing My Green Nappy...

This is a new advocacy site with links to all cloth nappy retailers in Australia and New Zealand.

There are lots of ways to meet the nappy makers and retailers on the site, so do pop by and have a bit of a browse. There are many questions too - so you can share your own experiences. AND there are cloth nappies to WIN!

My central resource is called "My Green Nappy Guide" which is a guided online tour that you access gradually over a few weeks, introducing you to the styles, facts, tips and more about all things 'nappy' and 'green'.

It's a simple environmental initiative encouraging all families 'down under' to have one 'green' nappy for their baby to wear, knowing that even one nappy is a great start - each time it is worn, a single-use disposable is kept out of the bin!

Hi,

My name is Krista.  I am a young mom.  I started cloth diapering my son at about 10 months old.  We spent his Christmas money on cloth because we could no longer afford disposables. 

He is now 20 months Autistic with cognative around 4-6 months, so won't be potty training for a while.  Feel free to ask about me I have used all kinds of different cloth diapers. 

 What do you have and use?

I have

a Sustainable Hemp Sandman

a mandy Mac Purple Nights

a Bubble Bubs Good Night Sleep Tight

and one other - have a blank atm

I also use naty eco disposables and empty the wet ones into the compost (great for the garden!) and avoid pooey ones by practicing Baby Pottying (elimination Communication)

Hi,

we are considering putting our 13 month old in Modern cloth cos disposables are costing a fortune.

I have no idea where to start.

What do I need where do I get it.

What would be the best brand to get?

How many do I need?

She usually goes through about 4 disposables a day.

Please help me out thanks.

Hi everyone!

As you all know I'm having twins, due in July. I'm seriously considering using cloth  for both money saving reasons and the fact that I'll be home ALOT (lol), so will have plenty of time to get the hang of them and wash etc as there will be double. I'm just after some help with what I'll need and where to get them, hopefully cheap as I'll need double quantity. I used cloth with my first child but they were just the flat terry cloth ones, then went onto disposables with my second for convenience, so I really have no idea when it comes to all these new cloth ones on the market.

hi wondering if anyone has any itti bitti mottled minkies for sale or they would consider selling in australia in a size large, they are a really good fit on my ds and i love them but cant get any more please. or any one know of any good sites that sell 2nd hand nappies in australia

 Hi everyone, was just wondering what everybody used to get the nappies white and bright? I use napisan Oxy Action and Sunlight soap for the real tough stains. I also put Dettol in the rinse cycle but lately I havent been able to get them really white. I was thinking maybe because my babies are eating a different variety of food so their no:2's are... shall we say stronger!!!  

I use alot of elbow grease but they still wont budge. What would you recommend? Any advice or stories are greatly appreciated. 

Peace Hannah
