One consequence of being a parent is one gets very intimately acquainted with the nappy (or if you prefer, diaper).
Before Omar was born, we considered using reusable nappies. They are both cheaper in the long run while at the same time more environmentally friendly. The first problem with that, however, was we do not have our own washing machine we could use every day to clean the nappies. Then, even if we were to wash them by hand, drying them in time would be another problem. So, until we return home to Malaysia, disposables became the natural choice.
We tried several brands of nappies, from well-known major brands to cheaper store brands, before we finally settled on just4bums from Kiddicare.
A box of size 2 nappies contains 240 pieces
The nappies themselves are great. A box contains a month’s supply, which is wonderful because we rely on public transport. The list price is £50 per box, but so far we have been paying only £19.99. Orders are delivered by courier the next day. There is even a free reminder service in case you forget to re-order, but we don’t use it. Kiddicare also offers to refund the nappies we do not use.
Omar turned 3 months yesterday, and coincidentally last night too we graduated him from size 2 (for 3-6kg babies) to size 3 (4-9kg). We don’t know how much nappies cost in Malaysia (I heard it’s a lot) but we are considering buying a few months’ worth to bring home when we return.
:P
