Hello!

Hello and welcome to the BabyBotBums Blog!

I am mummy to 1 year old Miss O, we have been using cloth nappies for 11 months and we love them! So much so that we recently opened http://www.babybotbums.co.uk/ and online nappy store selling gorgeous and affordable cloth nappies.

I thought that I would use this first post to introduce myself - I do hope that I do not bore you all too much! While I was pregnant I was an avid reader of baby and pregnancy blogs, it was here that I found that real/cloth nappies are not just terry squares, pins and rubber pants!  I started looking into cloth more and found that there was great savings when you compared them to disposables and then there is the "green" issue!

I have to be honest, the money saving side of things was what made me decide to go for cloth. My other half and I are both self employed and I new that the more we could save pre baby meant the longer I could be at home when the baby was with us.  I knew nothing about cloth nappies and knew no-one that used them so I started researching them on online forums where there were mums using them. From there I started picking up some "pre-loved" nappies in a selection of styles (saving yet more money) as I had no idea what we were going to like or what was going to suit our baby.

Once she arrived Miss O was too small for all of the cloth that we had bought, so we have 4 weeks of disposables and then moved her into the cloth. It was not long until we found out that pocket nappies were the ones for us. So I sold on what we did not use and stocked up on what we liked. I then discovered the gorgeous printed minkee nappies from China. I love them and I loved the prices - soon I was addicted and we had a drawer full of colourful nappies to go with almost every outfit.

The only thing that I found not so good about the China nappy was the length of time they took to get to me. It seemed to take longer each time I ordered.......

So from there I started looking into things a bit more and www.babybotbums.co.uk was born!  We stock the gorgeous minkee prints that I love so much and the prices are just as fabulous, but what we have, we have in stock in the UK and the delivery time is a few days - not up to 6 weeks.

We are still very new, very small and very much finding our way. But we aim to give the best service that we can and we are hoping to add to our range very soon!
