Bambino Mio are offering a free MioSolo nappy with the code below. You have to pay the (rather extortionate for one item) postage fee, but even so, it amounts to less than a third of the original nappy price.

New soft cloth for the price of postage

• Discount: Free Nappy - £10.04 saving
• Valid on: MioSolo nappies
• Promotion Code: EDMIOSOLO

I love the cloth nappies my baby girls wear. They are so soft and gentle on their skins, and especially now with a newborn: I love the chemical free cloth on her little body.  My best advice and tip for parents who want to switch to cloth, however, is not to go out and buy a bunch of whatever worked best for your neighbour/sister/friend’s baby. The best thing you can do is to get a variety of different nappies and try them all out before buying those that work best for your child.

Just as we don’t all buy our trousers from the same place, our babies can’t all wear the same nappies. Some work better for some than for others.

That’s why this kind of offer (and many others like it during Real Nappy Week) is so brilliant – it gives you the chance to try before you buy loads and spend lots.

gNappies are the new cloth nappy to hit the UK. They’re a hybrid cloth and disposable as the outer layer and inner ‘pouch’ are reuseable, and the filler on the inside can be either a biodegradable, compostable disposable inner or a reusable cloth inner.  For the month of February, gNappies are offering a Baby Buds Massage Oil with every purchase of a Good Fortune Red little gPant (the outer bit.)

• Go red with gNappies

gNappies are expensive to start off with, but the savings along the way are on a par with any other cloth nappy. Additionally, the savings on the environment if you choose to use the disposable options are amazing as the disposable inner breaks down and disappears within about 50 days, rather than the roughly 500 years a regular nappy takes.

So, if you head over to gNappies and choose a Good Fortune Red gPant, a bottle of Baby Buds Massage Oil will be included in your order without you having to do anything else.

Have a browse around their website – my favourite feature of gNappies is that they’re about the same size as a regular disposable, so your child doesn’t have to wear ‘bigger’ clothes just to fit with cloth bums.

I’ve written plenty of reviews on different cloth and reusable nappies in the past, but something it’s taken me two years to get to is reusable wipes and I'm finally decided on Cheeky Wipes.

Did you know that it’s believed that every wet wipe ever used is still lying in landfill? According to an article in the Ecologist in 2008, based on North American statistics, all the wipes bought there in just one year would fill 9,000 18-wheel trucks, stretching 68 miles, carrying 83,000 tonnes.  I can’t find any statistics for the UK, but I can’t imagine it’s too different, with adjustments for population size and so on.

So, I’ve been looking for reuseable wet wipes for a while now, and have finally found something I love. While I’m sure this could easily be made at home, I’m not that crunchy, and was happy to hand over the £30 for the all-in-one kit from Cheeky Wipes that includes 25 gorgeously soft terry towelling cloth baby wipes, a pop-top ‘fresh baby wipes’ container,  and another ‘mucky baby wipes’ container with a mesh bag insert, a fresh baby wipes out and about waterproof bag,  mucky baby wipes waterproof out and about bag with a mesh bag insert, a bottle of Lavender & Chamomile fresh baby wipes essential oil blend and a bottle of Tea Tree and Lemon mucky baby wipes essential oil blend.

The concept is really simple. You have two containers filled with water and essential oil. One has clean wipes in, the other dirty. In the dirty wipes container you have a mesh bag which you can pop out and pop your wipes like that into the washing machine, and dispose of the dirty water down the toilet.

The same goes for the ‘out and about’ kit – they’re waterproof – we’ve had no leaks, and when you get home you separate the mesh inside from the waterproof outside, wipe out the outside and put the mesh bag in your washing machine, so there’s no need to fiddle about with dirty wipes.

The wipes are only 15cmx15cm so they don’t take up much space in your wash, and the essential oils keep all smells under control.

Out the machine you don’t have to wait for the Cheeky Wipes to dry as they just go in fresh water back in the clean wipes container and you’re set to start again.

You save a fortune on wet wipes, your baby’s delicate skin is free from horrible chemicals, you’re freeing up space in landfills and you’ll never run out of wipes in the middle of the night.  Fabulous.

The Bitti Tutto range of reusable cloth nappies is reduced from £18 to £10.50 each at Cheeks and Cherries. Spends  over £45 will get you free delivery.

I have tried plenty reusable nappies in the 20-months my daughter has been around, but Ittie Bitti haven’t made it our way yet – perhaps next time! The Bitti Tutto is the new Onesize Snap-In-One nappy from Itti Bitti.

The Tutto has a clever no bulk design, plus hip snaps to ensure a great fit at each of the four size settings.

These new Itti Bitti’s feature a complete internal gusset to contain even the biggest explosions.

Each nappy is lined with stay dry suedecloth and comes with three bamboo/organic cotton soaker pads with Itti Bitti’s signature colour coded snaps, so absorbency can be customised to suit each baby, which is great as it can be really confusing getting started on cloth. You can also buy extra soaker pads.

These are available in 18 different colours and the website has various short informational videos on how to use Bitti Tutto Reusable Nappies.

Bambino Mio nappies are a great starter pack for cloth, and are the only cloth nappies that work over night for us, so I’m really thrilled with this offer and have already placed my order. At this price, they’re even worth buying for babyshower or new baby gifts.

In the offer, Miosoft nappy covers are 60% off at £4 each for funky spots, cool stars or plain white.

The Onelife brand have 50% off nappies, making them £4.99 each, and the covers are £3.99, also with 50% off.

There are also accessories for sale, like the onelife day bags at £1.50, 75% off and perfect for carrying a day’s supply of nappies and accessories.  Or if you want a decent wet nappy bag, this one has 30% off and is £5.50, while the onelife rucksack is 75% off, costing just £7.50 and comes complete with a changing mat.

There’s free delivery until the 8^th of May, and the sale is on till then, or, I guess, while stocks last.
