FREE NAPPIES FOR WAKEFIELD MUMS & DADS

From the WMDC Press and Communications Office

If you thought real nappies were all white terry towelling squares and nappy pins, think again. Seeing their little darling in the latest designs sets many parent's hearts aflutter - and this is a growing factor in why more and more parents are choosing real nappies.

With Wakefield Council's cash back subsidy parents can claim a total of £40 back on any style of cloth nappy that you buy. So whether you fancy this season's soft pastels or the more daring gothic style, there has never been a better time to give it a try. 

Real Nappy Week 2006 runs between April 24 and 29 and this year it will be celebrating its 10th Anniversary. Wakefield Council will be running three nappy events throughout the week at Pontefract, Hemsworth and Wakefield City centre.  On all three days Wakefield residents will be able to pick up a free starter kit of cloth nappies worth up to £65.

Wakefield Council and Surestart Hemsworth, Kinsley and Fitzwilliam have teamed up to run an event on Thursday April 27 at The Cedars Children's Centre on Barnsley Road, Hemsworth. 

Real nappies will be available to feel, mums can also try out baby massage and little ones can play with wooden toys.  There will be a stand in the café so visitors can see what the nappies are like, get advice and watch demonstrations. 

The new exhibition vehicle will be at Pontefract Market on Wednesday April 26 opposite the library and Wakefield's Bullring on Saturday April 29 - visitors can also sign up for a cheap garden composter.
