Nappies and Supplies
You may start off not having a clue how to change a baby’s nappy. However, with a newborn needing around 10 nappy changes a day, you will have changed around 1000 nappies by the time they enter their fourth month.
Deciding whether or not to use disposable or cloth Nappies is a highly contentious topic at the moment, particularly with global warming and mothers worrying about their carbon footprints.
However, at the end of the day you need to use what will work best for you, considering your budget and how much spare time you have.

Buying Nappies
Babies may be small, but they need a lot of stuff, and most of that stuff is expensive. Along with nappies, there are also a bucket load of care products such as lotions, creams and wipes that you will need to use both in the house and when away from home.
The best way to buy baby products are in bulk and when they are on special. Another way is to buy them online directly from the manufacturer or warehouse.

Disposable nappies versus cloth nappies
Disposable nappies have become the norm, for many busy mums, particularly when you consider that to use cloth nappies you need the time to soak, wash, hang and fold each nappy.
