Real Nappy Schemes

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

Nappucino Drop-In Session

If you want to see the wide range of real washable nappies that are available, or if you are already using real nappies and want to discuss issues or share tips, then drop in to our Nappucino Session:

Baby Clinic, 2nd Floor, The Lyng Health Centre, Frank Fisher Way, West Browmich, B70 7AW between 9.30am & 11.30am on the first Wednesday of each month.  The centre is a short distance from West Bromwich town centre or has free  parking for up to one and half hours in the public car park located off Moor Street. 

Nappy Library

Want to try real nappies but not sure they will fit into your lifestyle?
Want to compare the differences between the different types available?

Why not hire a range of washable nappies from the nappy library, which will enable you to use a selection for at least a week. 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.

Nappy Incentive

To help you purchase your first washable nappies, you can apply for a one off refund of £30 per child towards the cost of washable nappies.
