I've been giving this some thought. The thought of managing six or seven cloth nappies a day is pretty overwhelming and would add quite a bit of work to a busy mum's life.
However, if they just made the switch for one of those nappies each day, they would still save a significant amount of both money and landfill space. Think about this:
Based on an average cost per nappy of 42c each (I used Mums Happy Nappies prices for Baby Love and Huggies to get an average price), making the switch once a day could save $153.30 per year, while the landfill savings would be approximately one third of a tonne (based on the average volume of a full wet nappy). That's one third of the capacity of your average builder's ute.
It's worth considering,....
