Washable nappies aren't what they used to be. Until a relatively short time ago, 'washable nappies' meant enormous terry squares which swamped the baby; it meant fiddling with giant safety pins, and boiling tin buckets of soiled nappies on the stove every day to get them clean.If that's your childhood recollection of Mum using washable nappies on your little brother or sister, and it's put you off the idea of using washables on your own baby, that's understandable. In today's fast-paced world we look for convenience in every aspect of our lives, and when it comes to nappies there's no exception; who needs all that extra work and expense, when disposable nappies are so cheap and easy to use?The reality is that just as the disposable nappy has made technological leaps and bounds in recent years, so has the washable nappy; today's washable nappy is convenient, fully adjustable, hygienic and cheaper than disposables.

Most dogs naturally love people and are extremely protective of children. So, even though there are some sad cases it's unlikely that you should abandon your dog buying ideas quite yet.What you do need to think about is that your children need to be in a protected environment so you don't have to worry about things like this happening.
