Because using littlelamb nappies will save you money and will help to save the environment. And because littlelamb is a family run business committed to customer service, you can be assured that you will have all the help and advice on hand to help save your sanity.
Saving money
If you trundle down to your local supermarket and pick up single use disposables with your shopping you probably will not realise the cost over two and a half years.
NHS Paediatricians suggest newborns should be changed 10-12 times a day and older babies about six times, ending with just one being used at night-time.
Assuming an average of seven changes a day over the nappy wearing career of your baby, you will use about 6300 nappies.
The average branded nappy costed 17.1p in 2009. That’s over £1000 just for nappies for one baby.
Littlelamb shaped nappy kits start from £99 for each of the two sizes with a £9 delivery charge, add to this the laundry costs (detergent, electricity, water, wear and tear of washer) of £125 over your baby’s nappy career and you will pay just £330.
If you’re planning more children in the future using Littlelamb nappies will then save you over £950 a baby as you only have the
laundry costs.
Saving the environment
Littlelamb nappies will help to preserve the environment for your baby’s future, by not clogging up land fill with over one tonne of disgusting stinking pathogen leaching disposables. With the onset of fortnightly refuse collections do you really want up to 130 "disposables” sitting in your bins in summer?
It is not just your immediate surroundings that are affected. Take a look at the bigger picture.
Over 7 million trees are chopped down each year to produce “disposable” nappies.
Reusable nappies use 3.5 times less energy, 8 times less non-renewable materials and 90 times less renewable resources than “disposables.”
Littlelamb nappies are made in a family run factory in Turkey, and are brought into the UK by road freight, to ensure that we keep our carbon footprint to a minimum, giving you piece of mind.
Family run business.
Littlelamb is a family run business, run by Nick and myself and we have used washable nappies on all of our 6 children. We have struggled with wriggly babies, wondered at the variation of the shapes of our babies, been amazed at just what a nappy may need to contain, and have been staggered at the cost of the nappies. We have seen the new revolution of the washable nappy market, and feel it is time to take the mystery out of washables, and put the common sense back.
Lets face it, using washable nappies is not rocket science. You use a nappy, that goes on and fits like a disposable, then you take it off, flushing the poo away, and wash it. That’s it. No folding no pins no soaking, no fuss. If you have been looking through the web, and have been bamboozled by terms such as prefold, pocket, fanfold etc, you are now in the right place. Sanity reigns here. We make a basic necessity product, at exceptional quality, and sell’s at a sensible price. We do not believe that something as basic as nappies should be asparitional.
There are many washable nappy sellers out there, most of whom sell other peoples products. There are also many manufacturers who sell to other people. We manufacturer our own nappies to the very highest quality, and sell directly to you, missing out the middle-man, ensuring we can offer you the very best value washable nappy kits you can buy.
We deliver complete kits straight to your door, containing all you need to start using washable nappies. Its simple, the bigger the kit, the better the value. No need to go and buy a bucket, look for wraps that fit, get spare boosters, it’s all here, ready to go.
Save your sanity
Nick and I have had 6 children with the youngest only two years old. We run the business from home, and have encountered possibly every nappy scenario you could imagine. If your questions are not answered in our faqs pages, please contact us as we will do the utmost to help. We understand what it means to have babies in nappies - we still do!
