The Real Nappies for London Christmas prize draw saw Nicola and baby Eva
take home the lovely Christmas tree made up of enough real nappies to last until
potty-learning time! We wish both of them all the best.
Says mum Nicola, 'We are really thrilled at winning the prize draw. It will be a massive help financially as, now I have Eva, I no longer work. I also think it is a really good idea to use cotton/real nappies as I hate the idea of disposables going into landfill. At least we are doing our bit to help the environment. '
Real Nappy Week 2008 was celebrated by RNfL boroughs across London in April, with events ranging from a Teddy Bears' Picnic to exhibits in shopping malls and coffee shops!
Parents and carers turned out to see the ranges of lovely soft nappies, and to apply for their voucher to start their Real Nappy journey.
In June 2007, with admirable help from 20 babies and toddlers, TV presenter and eco-expert Penney Poyzer officially launched Real Nappies for London.
To an invited audience of 60 parents, midwives, businesses, local authority and central government members and staff, Penney explained how washable nappies can be easy to use, save money, reduce waste and provide soft natural absorbent fabrics next to babies' skin. The launch, held at Coram's Fields, Bloomsbury - site of the famed 18th century Foundling Hospital and now a garden, city farm, nursery and play centre for children, provided soft play and an opportunity for guests to try real nappies on their babies.
Mums told their stories of how they discovered real nappies and what difference they made. Kevin Crook, a dad and waste policy manager for Tower Hamlets, 'walked the talk' and showed how real nappies had changed over
the years he had been using them with his children and Marjaana Vanska, a midwife at Chelsea and Westminster hospital, explained why she supported the scheme and was keen to see the NHS expand its use of real nappies.
