| April 17, 2012 | Posted by Luschka under Attachment Parenting, Cloth Nappies, Guestpost |
I’ve been using real nappies on my daughter since she was around 4 weeks old, and I love them, so much so that I’m a now real nappy advisor in my local area! I often end up chatting to other mums about nappies when they hear what I do, and there are some common misconceptions…

Alternatively titled: What’s My Wishlist? I love seeing pictures of my baby and how he or she is growing in there, deep beyond my line of sight. When I found out I was pregnant, I signed up for a whole bunch of those ’your baby is x weeks along’ emails, so that I could get a…

| May 16, 2011 | Posted by Luschka under Attachment Parenting, Awareness Weeks, Cloth Nappies |
Well, it’s Real Nappy Week. I’ve heard people ask questions during other awareness weeks about why we have them. What’s the point? I’ve heard accusations about it being a good excuse to make other people feel guilty. Which is a little sad, really. I read a blog post the other day about why we need…

Let’s move on to the second “con†that is often brought to my attention: The idea that it might be messy or perhaps just plain unsanitary.
