The following nappy schemes are currently running in Sandwell to help you decide if real nappies are for you.

  Baby Clinic, 2nd Floor, The Lyng Health Centre, Frank Fisher Way, West Browmich, B70 7AW - the centre is a short distance from West Bromwich town centre.

Nappy Library

Do you want to try real nappies - but are not sure they will fit into your lifestyle?
Do you want to compare the differences between the different types available?

Then why not hire a range of washable nappies using the nappy library, which will enable you to use a selection of nappies at home for at least a week. For a small charge of only £10, find out how easy modern washable nappies are to change, wash and dry and see which styles suit your baby and budget best. All nappies are laundered to NHS standards between babies so you can be sure they are bacteriologically clean.
