A MUM-OF-FOUR has been shortlisted in the 2015 Mother and Baby Awards for her eco-friendly washable nappies.

Christine McRitichie, from Long Wittenham, near Didcot, founded her reusable nappy company Earthwise Trading in her kitchen 10 years ago. In the decade since, she says she has kept more than 7.5 million disposable nappies out of landfill.

Now, the two brands the company manufactures – Wonderoos V3 and Real Easy – have been shortlisted in Mother and Baby Awards reusable nappy category.

Mrs McRitchie, whose business is now based in Didcot, said: “To be shortlisted for such a prominent award is a real testament to the hard work that the whole team have put in.”
