New Born Nappies

[Astrid]

I found the NB aldi nappies where similar in size to the Infant sized huggies.

They are very much like the Woolworths Select Infant nappies, they also fit 3-6kg. The main difference between them (other than the picture) is that the Aldi nappy has thinner tabs, otherwise they are almot identical.

Hi, just adding to the cloth vs dispoable debate - we've been in cloth since birth and havn't found it difficult at all. in fact, i'm in love with our nappies! but, for the past 2 weeks we've been using disposables as our washing nachine broke down (and looking like it'll be another 2 weeks to be fixed!) and can't believe how expensive it is buying nappies & disposable wipes. they're also much smellier and don't contain leaks as well.
just my 2c worth
wish we had aldi over here

Go with cloth!!!
Waaaay better for bub's butt and the environment.... and washing them will be easy as! It's not hard at all, you just need to do your research and find out what MCN (modern cloth nappy) suits you and your bub the best.....

I was turned off disposables months ago when i read about the effects they have on our environment..... takes at least 100yrs to break down one single disposable nappy in landfill now thats bad!! BUT i don't judge anyone who uses them because we are all different and some people simply don't have the time to use cloth. Plus at times convenience is important.....

I've just invested in some Baby Beehinds (only a few) and quite a few of the "Peapods" you can google these names and find their websites and read about the nappies and how to use them and wash them....
thats how i started just reading websites and all about them.

We are only going to buy 1 pack of NB disposables as a 'back up' only and keep the receipt

This is our first bub.

another thing to remember when using sposies is that buy law its illegal to put human waste in the bin, therefore you are ment to flush the poo down the toilet, so is you do taht you might as well use cloth!!

good point AJP. So most people using disposables break the law everyday because i'll be damned if anyone can work out how to flush newborn poo down the toilet when it soaks into the nappy the way it does! Even with my 2yo he has the odd runny poo that no-way-known can be "flushed" away from the nappy... it just seeps in too much. It's very scary how much human waste is going to be filtering into our water table under the ground!!!!
