3 Itti Bitti for just £33 for 3 weeks!


Save £9.00 = 21% discount on RRP

All those who know their real nappies will know this is a really fantastic opportunity to stock up on the best-selling, super-neat design that is the Itti Bitti D'Lish.

For newcomers to real nappies, this is a great opportunity to get effectively a "trial pack" of the most popular real nappy on the market at the moment.

Offer only valid for 3 weeks from today (til Friday 9th October), and whilst stocks last, so get in before the rush. There are even a couple of Limited Editions left, which are included... so fill your boots, people!




Whilst you're at it, find some co-ordinating Huggalugs, (see photo, top) and make the most of the last of the Summer. They are completely cute, and do double duty by keeping fluffy pants on show!

Once the chillier weather sets in, they'll be great under trousers, or on top of tights to keep little legs warm.

(Or you can borrow them to relive your finest Flashdance moments)

Our link with Tommy's


We are very proud to announce our link-up with Tommy's, a baby charity that funds research into miscarriage, prematurity and stillbirth.

I don't know about you, but I think it's completely unacceptable that 1 in 4 women lose a baby during pregnancy. That's 8 stillbirths and (at least) 240 miscarriages EVERY DAY in England and Wales (see here for the research stats)

The anguish of stillbirth, prematurity and many miscarriages can last a lifetime, and we hope that by helping to fund research, we can help to prevent other families from having to suffer in this way.

We have a long-standing personal connection with the charity, which you can read about here and will be donating 10% of our profits to Tommy's every year.

Tommy's exists to fund research, and provide information to prevent problems in pregnancy. You might have heard of their 'Tommy's Let's Get Baby Friendly' awards, or seen their range of pregnancy vitamins in Boots. They have a brilliant 'Ask a midwife' line too, which is open 9am-5pm Monday to Fridays for non-urgent pregnancy information and enquiries.

Several real nappy brands, such as Happy Heinys were started by mums with premature babies, who found that the chemicals in some brands of regular disposables were not helping their baby's health, and so started making their own cloth nappies to fit their tiny baby.

Happy Heinys still makes a special 'mini onesize' nappy specially to fit premature and extra-small arrivals! We will be stocking this soon, and developing a special 'Tiny baby trial bundle' containing a variety of cloth nappies specially sized for early and smaller babies.

We love working with Tommy's and hope we can help them to help all mums to have a healthy pregnancy, and a gorgeous healthy baby.

Our first exclusive brand in stock: Cushie Tushies





Announcing our first exclusive brand: CUSHIE TUSHIES

IN STOCK NOW

This is a great new designer nappy that is making a big name for itself in Australia, and we are very excited to be the first to bring these to the UK.

Cushie Tushies Coutures are super-soft, and absorbent All-In-One onesize nappies, that will last from birth to potty.

A fabulous style statement in prints such as 'Bumble Bee', 'Choc Lime Bubbles' and 'Giraffe'
these funky nappies always cause a stir when we go out and about in them. Team with a matching (or clashing) pair of Hugglalugs baby legwarmers for top baby style points.

There are also matching fabulous nappy bags, good for keeping the nappies in, or to keep any of the other million sticky, yoghurty, slightly damp, milky things in that babies seem to insist on dragging around with them.

With a useful attached smaller zip-up bag for wipes, or for keeping sticky and clean separate from one another. Just pop in the wash to clean... easy.


Site Launch





Thanks for coming to our shiny new blog... at last, we have launched!

And jolly exciting it has been too, with lots of kind words, some constructive criticism, and a good flaming on mumsnet... marvellous.

We are a new online real nappy shop, designed specially for parents who want to do the greener nappy thing, but don't know where to start.

Going real is the cleverer, nicer and far more stylish way to do nappies, leaving a legacy for our children that won't cost the earth, and looking fabulous at the same time. What's not to like?

We have cherry-picked the best functional and fabulous real nappies from around the world, stocking a good range of reliable favourites such as Fuzzi Bunz, Mother-Ease, and Totsbots, as well as some new designer brands, exclusive to Cheeks and Cherries...


All feedback is a gift, according to top management wonks, so we would love to hear your thoughts on the site and how to improve it. Alternatively all lavish praise and crates of champers also gratefully received.

Thanks
Alix
