Giveaway # 1: Dandy Nappy

We all want the best for our babies-- even if it means additional cut on our budget. I've never used cloth diapers for my son, Nathan, and I quite regret it. I came across a lot of reviews about cloth diapers online several months ago but I never got the chance to use one.

So what are the advantages of using cloth diapers? First of all, it doesn’t have chemicals like disposable diapers so it’s safer to use and there’s little chance your baby catches diaper rash. Second, they’re comfortable for your babies since it is made of soft cotton. Third, the cost analysis studies reveal that it is cost-effective than using disposable diapers, in the long run. And lastly and what’s probably most important for a mom like me, is that it promotes early toilet training.

Dandy Nappy was generous enough to share with one (1) winner a Cloth Diaper Cover with Staydry Insert. The winner can choose between two colors: red (if you have a baby boy) or watermelon (for a baby girl).
