Real Nappies...Real Change!
....little changes by many changers can make global changings...
Real Nappy Week 2013 took place between the 15th and 21st of April. We chose the theme of 'Real Nappies... Real Change!' to inspire a new generation of parents to make the change and Go Real.
Change is good..... Evolution is normal isn't it?! By telling someone you know about Real Nappies, it might change their life and they in turn might change someone else's life, like a butterfly affect. Let's spread the word in an effort to make Real Nappies the 'norm' for future generations.
Really Changing Lives
Think - Baby and Parental Benefits. Comfortable, dry, cushioned bottoms make a happy baby. Early potty training and overall cost savings make a happy parent! And don't they look great too!?
Really Changing Landfill
Think - Environmental benefits and reducing the amount of waste going into Landfill - Think 'Waste Minimisation' not just recycling.
Really Changing Futures
Think - Changing a habit of a generation and start the evolution. By raising awareness of Real Nappies amongst future generations of parents - through information, fashion and fun - we might make evolution happen! Using Real Nappies can make all the difference - By making small changes in our lives, together we can all make a huge difference to the world around us.
....little changes by many changers can make global changings...
So what goes on?

Nursery Certification Scheme
One particular worry for parents when they consider using Real Nappies is whether they will be able to find a childcare setting that is comfortable using Real Nappies. This Real Nappy Week we want to show that using Real Nappies is Real Easy at nursery too!
We are launching a free certification scheme for nurseries and childcarers that support the use of Real Nappies. Participating nurseries will receive a certificate from Go Real so that they can show their parents that they are a certified, Real Nappy friendly nursery. They will also get a shout out on our Facebook page and a free listing on our Nappy Finder.
If you run a childcare setting which happily accepts Real Nappies or know someone who does please contact info@goreal.org.uk.
