Is it so hard to create a single-use compostable nappy? Don't you think that the "disposable" nappy industry hasn't already developed them in preparation for a worldwide government ban on superabsorbent plastic crystals in nappies? When the compostable nappy becomes widely available it will not be superabsorbent ie last for up to 12 hours! The child will feel the difference between a wet and dry nappy (as with cotton nappies) and will find it much easier to gain toiletting independence. They will still need help ie to be given the opportunity to use a potty/toilet, but they will find it much easier to hold their bladder because they've already had the stimulation to experiment while wearing a nappy. This is same for nights too! There will always be children who still need a nappy when they start school, just not so many!

I thank the Minister for that Answer. I am delighted to talk about this important subject first thing in the new year. It is not just for the health of children that it is best to potty-train early; we send about 3.6 billion single-use nappies to landfill or incineration every year in England alone. Earlier potty-training therefore saves parents and councils money, and saves environmental costs, yet over half of all parents are unsure of the right time to toilet-train. Now that the official advice is clear, would the Minister consider making a clear statement of that advice mandatory on nappy products sold in the UK?

Thinking about the impacts of laundry? Think making your own laundry detergent is a step too far? Just found this in the Guardian archives and very impressed that Madeleine Somerville used her own home-made laundry powder to wash nappies!

Detergents contain dozens of potentially harmful ingredients but with just three simple ingredients you can make a cheap, environmentally friendly alternative
