First, we’d like to once again thank everyone for their feedback in terms of the new design. We read every comment written here, we read every e-mail sent to us, we make sure that we take into account what you are saying. Without our engaged customers, Nature Babycare would not be the company that it is today.

We have received many questions about when the improved nappy will be in store. Unfortunately, this is a difficult question to answer. Because of the fact that not all sizes of nappies were affected, and not all areas in the UK were affected, the timing of deliveries will vary. It should be noted that only a small proportion of nappies were affected and that the vast majority are fully functional.

However, the new nappies were produced about three weeks ago (approximately the first week of July) and were immediately shipped to the UK. Production has continued since then and shipments continue to roll in. The nappies should be on shelves throughout the UK fromt his week onwards.

In the meantime, we would like to let everyone know how to decipher the batch code. The batch code is the indentifying code which helps us with our quality control.

The batch code is printed on the package of all Nature Babycare nappies as an ink jetted black dot format. It usually begins with a letter followed by five (5) or six (6) digits and a time stamp.

The relevant numbers are those directly preceding the time stamp. These numbers can be read to identify when the nappy was produced.

The first digit represents the year. For 2009, you will see a 9. The next three digits represent the day of the year on which the nappies were produced.

For example a batch code C902518:53 means that the nappy was produced in 2009, on the 25th day of the year, January 25th.

In order to provide you with the performance you deserve, we took immediate steps to improve fastening issues on the larger sizes of Nature Babycare nappies. The improved nappies will be sold in the same packaging as before, but we hope that the above information will help you as Nature Babycare works to once again allow you to go green without giving up performance.
