Great deal! I've sent my Mum off to Asda to see if she can get any. Being 33 weeks pregnant I need to stock up :-)

Went to our local Asda last night to get nappies for my daughter's new baby, she has six weeks left before the arrival and not only were the nappies £1 a pack, they were also 4 packs for £3, so well chuffed with our bargain.

Has any one seen any stock in the east midlands? I have rang my 2 of my locals all but sold out. My lo will be in newborn for some time as he is small.

Google "lca nappies" to get a real idea of the environmental impact of disposable nappies.

A 2005 study by the environment agency that cost over £200K found no significant difference between the environmental impacts of disposable and reusable nappies.

The study was flawed, if I remember rightly it assumed users tumble dried all the nappies and used disposable liners. It also didn't take into account the manufacturing process of the nappies, cloth nappies are manufactured once only and can be used hundreds of times

There are other benefits, washable nappies are better for the childs health as they don't contain the mix of chemicals that disposables have and of course they are softer against baby skin. I also found they were much more efficient at containing breastfed runny poo That added to the huge financial savings, especially when used on more than one child, makes washable nappies winners everytime :T there is some effort involved of course but after a while it becomes second nature and it's wonderful and very fulfilling to see a line of nappies drying outside

But in saying that, those first few days with a newborn are such a whirlwind so a £1 pack of nappies to make it a bit easier sounds good to me

Yes, my understanding is that critics of the study pointed out that many of the assumptions were flawed, eg not only tumble drying but also the ongoing improvements in the energy efficiency of washing machines, what temperature you wash them at, whether you iron them (who would?!) etc. Ultimately everyone has to make up their own mind but I hated the thought of all the disposables going into landfill so I choose to mainly use cloth.

However I totally agree that, for newborns, disposables will be the top choice for many, if not most, people. I am about to have my second child and I'm thinking disposables at first, because I know things will be mad for a while! There are other priorities like getting breastfeeding well established if you possibly can (which also has many budgetary and environmental benefits), rather than having to think about washing nappies.

Will therefore check this out in my local Asda tomorrow, though I suspect they may have sold out by now!
