A breast fed baby in the original terry nappies would cost far less than a bottle fed baby in pampers. (Although I know not all women are able to breast feed)

My mom was on about this the other day ,she said nappies were soaked in a bucket of Napisan overnight,then boiled and hung on the line,and a little off topic,maybe people are heavier today as they don't know what hard work really is like.
