I thought I was being really clever buying supermarket nappies and wipes (Morrison's/wilko/Asda all roughly the same price)
DS 2.7, DD 10 months - both in size 5's, we get the 2 packs of 40 for £10 and they along with 4 packs of wipes (51p a pack) generally last us a week
was just looking at subscribe and save on Amazon, cheapest price per nappy for that size works out at 13.5p where the ones we get are 12.5p - hadn't really thought about the cost per month or year but £50 a month sounds quite a lot and I know plenty of people who spend over £2 on a pack of wipes and goodness knows how much on nappies...I didn't realise it would bother me but I just hate that all of that money is basically going to end up on a landfill site!
I used cloth nappies for 7 months when DS was little (then his poo became horrendous and has been ever since and as I was pregnant I could no longer handle it) - if you use cloth nappies how many times a week do you put a washload on (I do as many as it takes to empty the basket, twice a week) how do you manage on the go? (we are out of the house a LOT and currently neither Child needs changing more than once every 3-4 hours unless they've pooed) and does it really save money?
sorry lots of questions there but I'm a bit as I thought we were doing really well! this is probably just something to put up with until they're potty trained...isn't it?! thoughts please
