			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was great to see a CNET’s, Natali Morris, try only cloth diapers for a month and love them!  Yay!</p>
<p>This was someone who has a busy schedule and is certainly not a mom that is tied to the washing machine washing diapers.  She’s a perfect candidate for disposable diapers, but she gave cloth a go and was pleasantly surprised at just how easy she found them.</p>
<p><strong>What were her findings?</strong></p>
<p>Link through here and watch Natali’s experiences with cloth diapers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7131550n">http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7131550n </a></p>
<p><strong>So which diapers are Real Nappies?</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com">Real Nappies cloth diapers</a> are a <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/real-nappies-prefold-cloth-diaper-system">wrap and prefold system</a> similar to the first diaper shown on CNET. They have a 100% cotton diaper, which is separate to the cover.  This makes life SOOOOO much easier, as come diaper change time you simply take out the wet diaper and pop in a dry one.</p>
<p>You keep the same diaper cover on bubs until it gets wet or smelly!</p>
<p>This means less washing, less drying and less cost!</p>
<p><strong>Help I&#8217;m so confused!</strong></p>
<p>Natali mentioned that the cloth diaper choices available to new parents are so overwhelming, that many parents just don’t even go there.  I understand that and can totally relate to it!  I know pretty much every cloth diaper out there and when I go online I still get totally confused, Arrrggghhh!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Real Nappies <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Real-Nappies-Diapers-Newborn-Toddler/dp/B002LR78RI/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t">Birth to Potty Pack</a> are fast becoming one of our best selling items and no wonder!  This pack contains all the diapers you will ever need for your little one at a ridiculously low price.  PLUS with the <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/real-nappies-cloth-diaper-guarantee">2 child guarantee</a> what more could you want?  Now come on we all have better things to do with our hard earned dollar then throwing your money away with disposable diapers.  Come on, give it a go, you&#8217;ve got nothing to loose and everything to gain.  Our thousands of happy customers can&#8217;t all be wrong&#8230;</p>
<p>One of our happy customers wrote a great review on Amazon, so good we thought you may like to read some of it, so we&#8217;ve put it into a list of reasons to use <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/">Real Nappies</a>, for the full review check it out at <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Real-Nappies-Diapers-Newborn-Toddler/product-reviews/B002LR78RI/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=0&amp;sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#R37OWPZR1PINCM">Amazon</a>!</p>
<p><strong>1.  Other uses for Real Nappies:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;I ordered the birth to potty  pack because this system had the best reviews. <span id="more-322"></span> I went to pack away the newborn  diapers, when I realized I can use the smaller diapers as a &#8220;catch  pad&#8221;/bib for breastfeeding. I&#8217;m currently on the Infant size and I&#8217;m  using the Crawlers and Toddler sizes as tummy-time drool mats, drool  mats for naptime, lap pads, and as changing pad liners. The use as  changing pad liner was an epiphany after reading so many bad reviews for  changing pad systems that required special liners that ultimately end  up rolling and bunching in the wash. I received some name-brand washable  lap pads as a gift, and they were really small and only lasted two  washes before falling apart because they&#8217;re just two pieces of felt  glued together; what a waste! These Real Nappies have turned into so  much more than just diapers, and this set really is everything you need  to diaper your baby!&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>2.  Easy to clean: </strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;I use Charlie&#8217;s Soap and Haven&#8217;t had any staining or odor issues yet.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>3.  Know when your baby needs changing:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;When  you feel the diaper, there&#8217;s never any question if it&#8217;s wet, versus  with disposables we&#8217;re always poking the diaper over and over again to  figure out if that&#8217;s the reason baby&#8217;s crying.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>4. Nappy Rash?  What&#8217;s that!</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;When my baby was sick  and having diarrhea, we went 48 hours in disposables, and in that short  amount of time he got diaper rash. When we switched back to the  nappies, the rash went away. We&#8217;ve never had to use diaper cream (why  add more chemicals to your baby&#8217;s life?).&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>5. Excellent Quality.</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;These cloth diapers have far better workmanship than other prefolds  out there.  The sewing is tidier and doesn&#8217;t  unravel. For the diaper covers, I love that the fabric is soft and  there&#8217;s no exposed PUL (other companies have an exposed polyurethane  liner, almost like pizza parlor tablecloth, and it tends to get  sweatier).&#8217;</em></p>
<p>and another <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Real-Nappies-Diapers-Newborn-Toddler/product-reviews/B002LR78RI/ref=cm_cr_dp_synop?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=0&amp;sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending#R37OWPZR1PINCM">reviewer:</a><br />
<em>&#8216;I have had the whole gamut of issues with previous diapers that I  have tried, and these are far superior in function, at a fraction of the  cost.  Add to that a two child use guarantee out of your diapers and  you really can&#8217;t go wrong.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>6. Slim Fit diapers.</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;I wanted a few extra inserts so I bought some prefolds and  covers from other companies for comparison. I found that the Real  Nappies are a little narrower in the crotch so baby&#8217;s legs can be closer  together (how is baby supposed to crawl with a huge diaper in the way?)  so I joke that they are European cut.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong><br />
7. Quicker Potty Training</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;People have told me the cloth diapers will make potty training easier  because baby will know when the diaper is wet, versus with super  absorbent diapers, babies tend to sit around in them for longer periods  of time.&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>8. Who needs Gussets?</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;I was initially concerned at the lack of leg gussets, but have been  pleased and relieved to find that they function perfectly without them.   I think perhaps with some of the thinner inserts out there, the leg  gussets become more necessary.  But, as these are meant to fit firmly  against baby, that doesn&#8217;t pose a problem with these and I have not had  leaking issues&#8217;</em></p>
<p><strong>9. Save money too!</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8216;I never planned to &#8220;go green&#8221; but after trying  these diapers, I can see how easy it is to make my household healthier  by reducing the amount of chemicals and trying to choose greener  products. While the initial investment is upfront, in the long run, I  will spend less on diapering my baby.&#8217;<br />
</em><br />
And the conclusion: <em>&#8216;I love these diapers.&#8217;</em></p>
<p>Well what more can we say, other than there are many many other reasons to use <a href="http:http://www.realnappiesusa.com///">Real Nappies</a> but this is from just one of our happy purchasers!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When Potty Training, encourage this - 
- let them come to the toilet when you go, 
- let them flush the toilet......
]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One thing I will suggest with Potty Training is don&#8217;t rush!  To be honest at 18 months to potty train is really early and the danger of potty training too early is your little one may revert back to diapers.  Having said that little ones train at different ages so here are a few signs to look out for and then go for it.  It may take a few attempts, but never push and if your littlie starts getting frustrated leave it a couple of weeks and then try again.  Many little ones when they hit the 2 year (or around that stage), they show an instant sign of wanting to potty train &#8211; showing an interest when you go to the toilet, or wanting to sit on the toilet or taking their diapers off.  <span id="more-205"></span><br />
Encourage this -<br />
- let them come to the toilet when you go,<br />
- let them flush the toilet,<br />
- buy a cheap, basic potty and leave it lying around,<br />
- let your little one run around without a diaper on at all, especially in the summer (if they wee on the lawn this is great and saves your carpet, they are learning to understand the association of seeing and feeling themselves wet)<br />
- Expect a couple of accidents but never tell them off for this. <br />
- Play with a teddy or dolly sitting on the potty,<br />
- try a reward chart if your little one understands what you are saying. <br />
- Another great idea is to pop your daughter on the toilet even if she doesn&#8217;t toilet, and encourage and praise this and let her flush the toilet herself.<br />
I also would suggest considering a kid size toilet seat that fits onto your own toilet seat this means there is no danger of your little one slipping down the toilet, which is pretty daunting and scarey for a toddler!<br />
- Make the bathroom a cool place &#8211; leave out some books for her to read whilst on the toilet or go with her and read to her whilst she&#8217;s on the toilet.  She may even go without realising, during the story. <br />
- Running a tap in the bathroom is another great trick to help them go.</p>
<p>The biggest mistake parents make is putting littlies back into diapers when they go out, this is why <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/cloth-diaper-accessories/potty-training-pants-white-medium.html">Real Nappies Potty Training Pants </a>are so great! <br />
<a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/">Real Nappies diapers</a> or the <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/cloth-diaper-accessories/potty-training-pants-white-medium.html">potty pants</a> are cotton so littlies can still feel the wet and associate this with the toilet.  Plus they can pull the potty pants up and down themselves.  Whatever or whenever you decide to give potty training a go &#8211; run with it and stick with it.  Expect wet clothes for a week or so and for goodness sake hold onto your patience!<br />
Goodluck and try and have fun with this!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Parents tell us that littlies in Real Nappies Cloth diapers tend to potty train up to 6 months earlier, find out why...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Potty training &#8211; OH NO!</h4>
<p>Ok so we’ve all heard of the kid that potty trained at 1, or maybe those kids that never wore diapers at all……  Anyway let’s face it for the majority of us parents, potty training is a nightmare we would all rather avoid.  Read on to find the &#8216;real&#8217; solution&#8230;<span id="more-118"></span> The potty training age is getting older and older.  At Real Nappies, we often getting despondent parents calling us saying their kids are 3 or 4 and still not out of diapers.  Well I’ll tell you something, the main reason kids are still in diapers at 3 of 4 years old is because the disposable diaper manufacturers have got too good at what they do!</p>
<h4>Why are kids in diapers for longer now?</h4>
<p>The <strong>chemical super absorbent polymers</strong> found in disposables are getting too efficient!  The <strong>chemicals </strong>draw the moisture away from your child’s skin so quickly that your little one hasn’t even got a clue they have done a wee!  Now try potty training your littlie, they haven’t got a clue what you are talking about as they can not feel a single bit of wetness so how can they tell if they have had an accident?  Poor little thing! </p>
<p>What does this mean for you? Hundreds more dollars spent on disposable diapers, well that’s what the disposable manufacturers are hoping to achieve, THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO POTTY TRAIN YOUR KID EARLY!    </p>
<h5>Cloth diapers make potty training a breeze!</h5>
<p>Here’s where cotton wins hands down, parents tell us that littlies in <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com">Real Nappies Cloth diapers</a> tend to potty train up to 6 months earlier or even more than that. </p>
<p>Why? Simple, because littlies in cotton can feel when they are wet and therefore understand their bodies a whole lot better.  They associate wetness to an accident.</p>
<h5>Don&#8217;t make this mistake</h5>
<p>One of the biggest mistakes a parent will make when potty training is to use underwear at home and then change back to diapers when out and about.  Well this confuses your child no end as again they go back to not feeling when they have had an accident and therefore not associating wetness with an accident. </p>
<p>The solution: <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/cloth-diaper-covers/potty-training-pants-white-medium.html">Real Nappies Potty Training Pants</a>. </p>
<p>These pants have a cotton interior, meaning they can still feel when they are wet!  They still use our awesome PUL outer fabric but have a cotton interior with the padding built in.  They are essential for successful potty training as littlies can pull them up and down themselves.  <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/cloth-diaper-covers/potty-training-pants-white-medium.html">Real Nappies Potty Pants</a> are super thirsty and will contain a few accidents, little one will know they have had an accident, but their clothes will stay dry. </p>
<p>When the Potty Pants are wet simply pop them in the washing machine, they can also be machine dried if preferred.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/birth-to-potty-pack-newborn-to-toddler.html">Real Nappies Birth to Potty Pack</a> include a pair of <a href="http://www.realnappiesusa.com/cloth-diaper-covers/potty-training-pants-white-medium.html">Potty Training Pants</a> too to make potty training a breeze!</p>
