Help our CC is now banning cloth nappies as of March

My guess, and it's only a guess as it's not something that has come up in my centre, is that it is due to contamination and health issues.
It is a dept rule here in Qld that any soiled items, from any age group must be kept in sealed containers and out of the reach of children to avoid infection.
Perhaps it is a limited space to keep enough nappy pails for your centre - potentially they may have to have up to 10 (depending on what state your in) buckets in each room.

We;ve have parents use cloth in our centre and never really had an issue with it - other than parents who don't supply enough covers and we once had the issue of a bub leaving a wet spot on the floor every time she wee'd.

If you have a centre with a young staff, they will be less likely to be accommodating as they just don't know what to do with cloth!


You also must consider the other point of view from the parent who is anti cloth - there are some out there who find them disgusting, a centre may find itself in a difficult situation where parents have complained about the hygeine involved with cloth use - sounds ridiculous but there are some very pedantic people around.
