Llanelli plays part in world record bid
Llanelli has played its part in a Guinness world record attempt on the number of real cloth nappies changed at the same time!
Six mums and their babies from across Carmarthenshire took part in the nappy changing challenge, hosted by Carmarthenshire County Council, at the St Elli Shopping Centre on Easter Saturday.
It was one of a number being held simultaneously across the globe.
Now the wait is on to find out if the world record was set as the results will not be known for a few weeks yet.
As well as the world record attempt, there was fun and games for all the family with face-painting, balloon modelling, magic show and arts and craft workshop from reusable materials. There were also lots of stalls and information and advice and Radio Carmarthenshire/Scarlet FM were there to broadcast the world record attempt as it happened.
Council waste minimisation/recycling officer Karen Fulham said: “The aim of the event was to raise awareness of the benefits of using real nappies instead of disposables as not only are they better for the environment but they are better for baby not to mention cheaper in the long-run too.
“I would like to thank all the mums and babies that took part; we should find out very soon if the world record was set.”
The world record attempt was the brainchild of Judy Aagard of Tiny Tots in California as a way to show the world that cloth nappies are a real option for today's families.
