Changing nappies can be such hard work

On the topic of nappies, according to the Money Advice Service, the average baby will need about 4,000 nappy changes before they are potty trained, setting parents back around £1,875 if they buy own-brand disposable nappies.

Would you consider reusable nappies instead of conventional ones?

Reusable nappies have come a long way in modern times and there are many well known and highly recommended brands out there.
