using reusable nappies could save you over £600

A baby will need about 6,000 nappy changes by the time it is 2.5 years old.  The average cost of a disposable nappy is 16p.  This equates to a cost of £960.

A newborn will need around 11 nappy changes a day.  This will eventually fall to around 6 nappy changes a day as the child gets older.  It is recommended to buy at least 15 reusable nappies.  This will give you a minimum of one days worth of nappies without having to wash them.  Buying 15 wonderoos with micro-terry inserts would cost £188.85.

Washing the nappies costs from £1 per week (£130 over 2.5 years).  This brings the total cost of reusbale nappies to £318.85 saving you £641.15.
