Are you better receiving the Australian Baby Bonus or do you get a better financial result with the Paid Parental Scheme. It can be complicated, see below for details.
How is the Baby Bonus paid?
The baby bonus will be cut from $5400 to $5000 from September 2012, and frozen at that level for a further three years, until then the
Baby Bonus is paid per eligible child in 13 fortnightly instalments. From 1 July 2011, customers eligible to receive Baby Bonus will get a higher first instalment of $879.77 and 12 fortnightly instalments of approximately $379.77. The higher first instalment of Baby Bonus will assist with the upfront costs of having a new child.

Real nappies
As I work at the nappy company, and use reusable cloth diapers myself, I would like to give some recommendations if you find it difficult to choose.
I use NapNappy cloth diapers, inserts and covers for my baby. I have tried several different brands and here is why I like the NapNappy diapers better:
- NapNappy Flannel Diapers are very thin - we love them for the daytime because my baby can move freely, wothout bulk between the legs. I often put just the flannel diaper with no inserts - so that the bum gets some air and baby really loves it.
- Terry diapers are very absorbent, and if used together with terry and wool inserts and a wool wrap, can be a great choice for nighttime or for long walks.
- Great funky colors and affordable prices!
