really, really helpful to have the community arraigned.
And even if people maybe don't have a massive network of friends and family in Ireland, like we're lucky to have, there is free cycle groups in most locations in Ireland that really come into their own when it comes to babies.
So be that bundles of baby clothes being passed around or different things like that.
Great community resources.
They're practically brand new, bar the worst of the worst blowouts.
And then you wouldn't forgive or you wouldn't hold it against anyone for being in something like that and try not to get it back into its best shape.
But yeah, generally brilliant.
This is it.
And this is the funniest thing.
The first thing I think, as soon as we said we were pregnant, I had a journalist being like, are you using reusable nappies?
And I was like, I've never changed a nappy in my life.
Give us a break.
moment but I do have some gorgeous ones from Eco Kinley at home that I'm very excited to try and they're like gorgeous little things now and they've got all lovely patterns on them and stuff like that so we'll definitely be giving the reusable nappies a go but I have even seen from the people who sell reusable nappies really honest advice about being like oh try these out to avoid disposable nappies for a day or here or there it's not this all or nothing mentality or this perfection mentality when it comes to sustainability as well it's you're surviving you're not necessarily thriving so you'll do what you can
The baby bits.
So all of that kind of roster of what we can be getting secondhand, where we can be getting it secondhand, what bits you maybe can't get secondhand as well.
It's not too long of a list that you can't source sustainably.
It is very limited.
So people might be pleasantly surprised with how much they can save themselves.
