Waterproof nappy covers are an essential component of a 2-part nappy system.  Personally, I have always preferred hook and loop or Velcro fastening nappy wraps but we have had lots of customers request popper fastenings.

As a result, we have taken delivery of a big box full of Mother-ease Airflow nappy wraps, in all sizes, in white and the lovely eco-theme patterns.

Air flow wraps are part of the multi-award winning range of real nappies from Motherease and they will work with Mother Ease onesize nappies, Sandys etc as well as with pre fold nappies and terry squares.

The nappy covers are made from polyester with a thin waterproof layer bonded to the back, making them easy to care for and non-crackly.

Many parents find that the popper fastening gives them a better fit and that older babies and toddlers are unable to undo the poppers, making nappy removing incidents less likely.

The Motherease wraps are in stock now, starting at £9.25 per wrap.

Did anyone else spot the lovely picture of beautiful crawling babies all sporting yummy washable nappies on the cover of the Observer Magazine this weekend?  It was actually to feature a story about sperm donation but it was still wonderful to see such a high profile cover with cloth nappies.

The story – http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/27/jennie-withers-co-parents-fertility

Sorry, I can’t find the cover online so here is a slightly random image of the disana knitted nappy for you instead.

Dear The Natural Nursery,

Don’t forget as it is Breastfeeding Awareness Week this week we are offering  a 10% discount on all our breastfeeding related products until 27/06/10. www.naturalnursery.co.uk

A group of scientists has written to the European Food Safety Authority asking for the use of BPA to be limited.

Many scientists believe that exposure to BPA (a chemical used in many plastics) could cause developmental problems in developing babies yet some well known UK retailers were selling potentially dangerous baby bottles as recently as April this year.

At The Natural Nursery, all our baby bottles are BPA free, including the glass baby bottle and the breastmilk bottle.

We believe that it is important to give your baby the best start in life so on the times when you want to give expressed breastmilk, make sure you choose a BPA free baby bottle.

Wikipedia has some information on BPA – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A including the following:

Studies by the CDC found bisphenol A in the urine of 95% of adults sampled in 1988–1994^[120] and in 93% of children and adults tested in 2003–04.^[121] Infants fed with liquid formula are among the most exposed, and those fed formula from polycarbonate bottles can consume up to 13 micrograms of bisphenol A per kg of body weight per day (?g/kg/day; see table below).^[122

I am very excited to be featured as a Mumpreneur on the Family Friendly Working site.  It is such an honour to have been choosen, thank you Caroline and Antonia.

You can learn all about how we first set up and the inspiration behind our pro-breastfeeding stance here at The Natural Nursery.

And don’t forget, our special discount code for Breastfeeding Awareness Week – BAW2010 – which will give you 10% off all breastfeeding products such as breastpumps, sterilisers, pro-breastfeeding clothing, nursing pads and nursing bras.

The sun is finally shining, making it great cloth nappy drying weather.  Drying your nappies on the line will not only save energy but help to keep them white too as the sun will bleach out any stains.

To celebrate the sun and to make the transition to using real nappies easier for you, we have put lots into our early summer sale.

You could save an amazing £81.00 on the Totsbots All in One / Easyfit Fluffle multi-pack of 20 nappies.

Other reductions include savings of up to 50% on pocket nappies, prefolds and bamboo nappies.

Stocks are limited and don’t forget that all orders received before Sunday 20th June will qualify for free UK delivery.

All Aboard!
This rhythmic I-spy journey to school through various landscapes is the perfect introduction to colours, modes of transport, and of course, music! The jaunty text, Siobhan Bell’s colourful hand-stitched illustrations and the accompanying musical CD by popular singer Fred Penner are sure to get children singing along happily. The I-Spy theme encourages reader/listener interaction, while the cumulative, repetitive text helps build sequencing skills.
