Nct Wolverhampton Sling And Nappy Library

A big thank you to everyone who liked, shared or got involved with our Real Nappy Week campaign. We've hired our two kits already this month so it's been really great to see mums and families wanting to make a change and try cloth. We hope this is just the start and we will continue to grow so keep in touch and we hope to see you at a library session soon!

Just a reminder that it's our nappy library tomorrow, 2pm at Church of the Good Shepherd, Castlecroft. We are here for advice and questions and will have a selection of nappies for hire in either full or mini kits. We look forward to seeing you!

We hope you've enjoyed being part of Real Nappy Week with us! If you have any particular questions, want to try out cloth nappies or wipes, or just want to find out more then please get in touch or come and visit us at a library session. Our next one is 4th May at 2pm, Church of the Good Shepherd, Castlecroft. We will have a variety of nappies available for hire in full or mini kits.

Real nappies are not hard work! Most are as easy as a disposable to put on and yes they are an extra few washes a week but once in a routine it isn't a big deal. This isn't a big environmental issue either... Go Real estimate the cost of nappy washing over 2.5 years to be just £102 (including water, detergent and electricity) and its widely quoted that washing takes less water than that required to just produce disposable nappies!

There are many reasons to choose real nappies but one great one is the fact they keep things in! Minimal poo explosions and leaks are just one benefit and with different types of nappy systems you can find one to suit your baby, lifestyle and pocket...

An excellent article in the Telegraph about trying cloth nappies. Worth a read...

Going 'Real' doesn't just need to mean nappies. Cloth wipes are really effective, good for the environment and we have kits available to hire on their own or alongside nappies. Disposable wipes are the focus of today's challenge with Go Real! The Real Nappy Information Service. Why not try making a change? #challengeforchange

Did you know that using real nappies could save you money compared to disposables, particularly leading brands? There are lots of options available to suit different budgets and although they need an initial investment they can last enough to be used for 2,3 or more children! Buying preloved nappies can save you even more. Trying before you buy and finding what suits you best is one great reason to visit your local nappy library too.

Did you know that the average baby uses 4-6000 nappies before they potty train? These almost all end up in landfill and take over 200 years to decompose!! Switching to 1 real nappy a day could save around 900 nappies from landfill. Definitely worth trying...

One of the Real Nappy Week #challengeforchange challenges is to support your local nappy library. So who are we? We are a small library who run once a month alongside the sling library. We have a varied stock of nappies and are looking to improve all the time. We hire full kits and mini kits depending on what suits your requirements. We are happy to chat about anything nappy related and give help and advice where we can. If you've never tried cloth and want to have a go or are a new cloth user who needs some help or even a seasoned cloth bum mum who fancies a nappy chat then come along and visit us! The next library session will be 4th May at 2pm. Venue is Church of the Good Shepherd, Castlecroft.

Interested in babywearing but not sure where to start?
Come along to our sling library and have a look at our wide range of slings and baby carriers. Slings available to hire include standard and Toddler Tula, Tula Explore, Tula Free-to-Grow, Connecta, Beco Gemini, Lillebaby, caboo's, stretchy wraps, Ergo Omni 360, Ergo adapt and Integra. There is a monthly hire charge of £10 and we ask for a cheque deposit (£50/£100 depending on what is hired). The cheque will be returned ...uncashed when the sling is returned undamaged at the end of the hire period. Alternatively we can verify your address if you bring photo ID which includes proof of address such as a driving licence.
We also have a wide range of cloth nappies that you can hire such as Little Lamb, BumGenius, Wonderoos, Swaddlebees etc. We have All in Ones (AIO), Birth to Potty (BTP) and Two Piece (TP), for just £10 a month and a cheque deposit of £30. There are also cheeky wipes for you to hire for an additional £5 charge.
If you have any questions, please feel free to message us!
Please note that unfortunately due to new insurance restrictions we can no longer provide assistance with your own sling during one of our sessions. However if you would like some information about general sling safety and babywearing then please feel free to pop along and we can help 😊

Welcome to Real Nappy Week!! This week we will be sharing all sorts of facts about nappies and myth busting some of the common arguments against cloth nappies. We will also be letting you know how we can help you try out cloth for the first time or help with your cloth nappy journey. For more information on Real Nappy Week check out Go Real! The Real Nappy Information Service. #clothnappylove #makeclothmainstream #makeachange #challengeforchange

Just another 3 days until Real Nappy Week. Remember to join us for lots of facts, myth busting and information on cloth nappies and how we can help you make the change to cloth. #rnw2019 #clothnappylove #makeclothmainstream #makeachange

We are still desperately searching for volunteers to help with demonstrations at our Sling Library sessions. Unfortunately it looks like we can only run a couple more sling sessions and then we will have to close our very popular sling library, which is a massive shame as it has been such an invaluable service to so many local parents.
The library runs on the 1st Saturday of every month but if you can’t commit monthly then it might be possible to run it on a rota basis. We w...ill be holding a sling library training day on the 4th May so this is an ideal opportunity to find out more about what is involved and to meet the current team.
If you would like to volunteer, or it’s something you’ve considered and want to find out more information, please get in touch by either messaging us on our Facebook page or sending an email to slings.wolverhampton@nct.org.uk.

Real nappy week is coming up later this month so keep following us to hear more tips and facts about cloth nappies and how we can help you try them out for yourself.

Just a reminder that it’s our Sling and Nappy Library tomorrow, Church of the Good Shepherd, Castlecroft, 2-3.30pm. Come along for demonstrations of a wide variety of slings and cloth nappies with the option to hire for a monthly charge.
**Please note that sling hire will not be available at our scheduled library on the 4th May, we are working on trying to run a Sling Library session at some point in May but this is not guaranteed-apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Nappy Library will run as normal on 4th May, and there will be a Sling and Nappy library held on the 1st June.
