Mothers in the borough of Dacorum have enjoyed a Nappuccino morning to find out about the environmental and financial benefits of using washable nappies.

The morning was organised by the waste services team to support the 17th national Real Nappy Week.

Emma Stevens, Real Nappy Advisor from Bovingdon said, "I was convinced by real nappies when I learnt how much money I could be saving. A child can be in cloth nappies from birth to potty for around £150 whereas disposables cost approximately £600 to £1,000 which is a good money saving incentive."

Parents can also rent out nappy kits before buying them. For more information contact Emma on 07736 835 167.
