We are looking forward to a year of exciting events and a huge campaign to raise the profile of real nappies. Look out for the above sticker on a baby changing table near you, or
request stickers to put up yourself!
We have a nappy natter coming up next week (Tues 17th 1-3pm) in the lovely Mouse and De Lotz Cafe on Shacklewell Lane, a bibs and bags workshop at the Ihsan Children’s centre (Fri 20th 10-12pm) and a nappuccino at the Mapledene Children’s Centre (Fri 27th 10-12pm). Full details are below.
Get in touch, check us out on facebook, twitter, yeah! hackney, get involved in the real nappy meet up group and tell us what else we can do to get more parents and nurseries using real nappies.
