Instead of holding workshops attended by 20 to 30 people, she has decided to run group Skype sessions to help bust some of the myths around reusable nappies.

“It’s a very stressful situation for a lot of people,” Elana says. “Washing cloth nappies is a lot less-time consuming than driving to multiple supermarkets.”
