Reusable nappy workshop - Diamond Valley Oct 2026

Nillumbik Shire Council invites you to come along and learn more about reusable nappies and how you can reduce waste and save over $2000 for each nappy-wearing child.

Reusable nappies have transformed from the old-fashioned folded cloth nappies, commonly known as terry towels. They are now more user-friendly, compact, and available in a wide range of stylish designs. Whilst folded nappies can be useful for the newborn stage, reusable nappies come with improved designs and adjustable fastenings, making it easier to fit and use.

The workshop will cover:

• The different types of reusable nappies and how to choose one

• How to get the right fit, and how to adjust resizable nappies through the different stages of your baby's growth

• How to store and wash dirty nappies  

• The cost savings of reusable nappies per nappy-wearing child

• The health and waste benefits of reusable nappies

• Hands-on activities to try reusable nappies. 

*Nillumbik residents will be eligible to receive a free reusable nappy to keep and help you get started. Bookings essential with limited spots available
