What I have learnt about my challenge is that I have my favourite brands which are Little LoveBum and TotsBots but also reusable nappies aren’t perfect. What I mean is the fact that I need to change them more frequently than disposable ones. They tend to leak much faster and sometimes in unpredictable way.
I think they are really worth a try but I am not as exited about them as I were at the beginning. Or is it a challenge burnout?
I started to think about other things I can try. I am a member of Milk and More several years now but I always wanted to try App – Too Good to Go.
The idea here is to eliminate food waste. Restaurants, cafes, and even supermarkets in your area offer up surplus food, meals, and produce at a discounted price for you to purchase, usually they are discounted more than 50%. I downloaded Too Good To Go because I liked the goal of supporting local businesses while doing it sustainably. I picked up this afternoonthe first magic bag from local bakery. They are called magic because you never know what you will actually get. For £3,99 I got loaf of bread, baguette, sandwich and 4 different kind of pastries – all delicious and fresh. See photo without pastries because they were gone very quickly.
My first experience was very positive and I will definitely continue to use App. I think it is very good for families but not only.

cCHANGE Team commented on Day 20: It is more then half way through 2 years agoHi Karolina, Thanks for the update! So it sounds like the systems around reusable nappies still need some refining, so that the final product works well for parents. After all if we are changing that many nappies, we need something that works well. I wonder if there are ways to let the producers know about your experiences? That could be that "courageous stretching" we talked about in today's SMS. You could say that you would really love to reduce landfill, but the products still need a bit of work for you to be a loyal customer. Yes, it could also be challenge fatigue - it can set in around this time. It's natural. Can you reflect on where is the feeling of resistance coming from? What's behind it? (e.g. wanting ease, less mess, convenience, frustration). I am curious to know if you are saving money when you use disposables? And how is your partner doing? What does he think of this now? It's so great that you were inspired by the other participants - Too Good To Go is a great app. Thanks for the update. Only 9 days to go!!! Best, Leonie Respond

Hi Karolina, Leonie here. Day 30! Congratulations! How has your challenge been going lately? Have you managed to stick with the reusable nappies? Is it a habit that will stick? It would be wonderful if you could give us a little update now at the end of the 30 days. It doesn't have to be long and it doesn't have to be perfect, if it hasn't gone to plan. Reflecting without judgement on why things don't work is powerful learning. I really want to acknowledge your commitment to this challenge, to experimenting with your family, and trying new things. It was inspiring reading your posts. Hope to see you at the wrap up on Friday. Warm wishes, Leonie Respond
