We get free nappies and got told you are given 3 per day.

what if you run out? At the moment , Ellie can still just about fit the larger size nappies from the shops (tesco's are a good larger size) But what when she doesn't fit them and we go through her free nappies before we get sent more

3 a day is so daft

That's crazy, anniebear. How often does a nappy last for 8 hours? At the initial assessment I was just asked how many we averaged per day as a guide but there's never been a restriction as such. When we open the last pack I just have to ask for a top up supply. Sounds as if we're using about the same size too.
Do others have a ration too?

Would the incontenance (sp)service let you buy more on top of the free ones??

3 a day!!
Sorry don't know how old she is but that is stupid. We get 6 a day and my dd is 10. Who only goes to the loo 3 times a day. Where do you live?

I have a friend whose DS is 12 and still wears Pull Ups a lot of the time. She argued that his NEEDS should be met and therefore he needed X number of Pull Ups.... she gets them.

We were told that the free nappies were a "contribution" rather than a provision. it is bollards. Do you know what other people local to you do?

Haven't asked anyone

I will double check on it. I am sure somebody told me (school nurse?) that it works out at 3 a day
