Modern Cloth Nappies 101

Join the City for this free, relaxed, family-friendly workshop and learn about modern cloth nappies from birth to toilet training.

Presented by engineer, scientist and now The Nappy Guru, Kam Andrews has a wealth of knowledge and experience with cloth nappies, using them from birth with her youngest child.

This workshop is a great opportunity to:

• Find out what you need to get started
• Compare disposable and cloth nappies in terms of cost, environmental impact and time
• Touch and feel various styles, materials and brands of cloth nappies
• Practise fitting nappies on demo dolls
• Learn how to effectively wash nappies and deal with poo
• Talk with and make connections with like-minded parents
• Get support and tips if you are already using cloth nappies

All attendees take home a complimentary Cloth Nappy Starter Pack, which includes 1 x cloth nappy, 1 x wash bag, and some helpful items to start or support your journey.

Bookings are essential.
