Each baby leaves their own ecological footprint before they've even learnt how to walk.

Approximately 260,000 babies are born in Australia each year and most of these use some form of nappy for the first 2-4 years of their lives. All nappies have an environmental impact so each baby leaves their own ecological footprint before they've even learnt how to walk. The good news is that parents no longer have to choose between just terry cloth nappies and synthetic disposables.  There are so many options available today that it's now much easier for parents to make a greener choice.   

The nappy choice a parent makes will be determined by their baby's needs, their own lifestyle, budget and personal preference.  Many parents use a combination of cloth and disposable nappies and even move from one solution to another as baby grows.  Whatever you decide to use has to work for you.
