Washable diapers for more and more baby bottoms: “This is the seventh baby to wear this diaper”

Flemish children are becoming toilet trained at an increasingly later age, and this has enormous consequences for the waste mountain, says the University of Antwerp in a recent study. It takes a ton of disposable diapers to get a child dry. Two neighbors from Aalst do things differently, and they are not alone. Because while washable diapers used to be something for hippies, nowadays they are increasingly found on the modern nursing table. “Seven pairs of baby bottoms have already been in this diaper.”
