Zero Waste Mann will be promoting the use of real nappies at the Strand Centre in Douglas on Saturday, April 20.
Nicky Hockaday will be on hand to give advice, show samples of modern washable nappies and explain how things have changed since the days of terry towelling squares.
All babies born at the Jane Crookall Maternity Home use washable nappies. The Stork Eco Nappy was developed and trialled by a midwife at Noble’s Hospital in Braddan. After their introduction, the amount of waste was reduced and many families continue to use real nappies when they take their babies home.
Nicky will be available from 10am on the day.
