Our newborn nappies are especially designed to be used from day one, and will last you from about 5lbs to 18lbs (normally about six months).
Our nappies are called pocket nappies. There’s a pocket at the back of the waterproof nappy, where you put the absorbent inserts. Each of our nappies come with two bamboo mix inserts.
When your baby is teeny tiny, you will normally only need to use one insert, which should last up to four hours. Once your baby starts to grow (which is always too quick!) and you find the nappy is not lasting as long, it's time to add the other insert.
If you want you can use a liner. This sits between the nappy and baby’s bottom to catch any solid poo and keep wetness away from baby’s skin. Liners aren’t essential (especially for exclusively breastfed babies who don’t produce anything...solid…) but many parents find they make changes easier.
You are going to love using our cloth nappies, so much better for your baby. Not to mention our world.
Features include:
-
Popper system to the front for adjusting the size of the nappy
-
Velcro fastening for super-quick changing and easy night time changes
-
Waterproof lining - no need for anything extra
-
Gusset which helps keeps the poop inside the nappy and helps with those poo-explosions
-
Completely free of nasties
How To
The popper system on the front of the nappy allows the nappy to grow with your baby. You simply snap the poppers together to make the nappy smaller. As your baby grows, undo them to make the nappy bigger.
Care
- Pre-washing before use helps increase the absorbency of your nappies. Follow the washing instructions below and repeat up to three times. You don’t need to dry the nappies between washes.
- After use, knock any solids into the toilet (or remove the biodegradable liner if you have used one). Put the used nappy in the nappy bucket until wash day.
- It can help to put the nappies on a cold rinse before washing as this ensures all the solids have been washed away before the washing cycle.
- Your nappies can be washed at 60°C, although plenty of parents find that 40°C is sufficient.
-
Use your usual detergent. Our nappies are designed to fit in with you, not the other way around.
-
Don't use any fabric conditioner or bleaching agents.
-
Your nappies are best dried naturally, although you can put them on a low setting in the tumble dryer. Natural is best for your nappies and the planet too.
-
Do be careful if they have been near heat such as the tumble dryer or radiator and don't stuff the inserts back in straight away. The heat can weaken the elastic and cause it to snap.
-
If you do need to use barrier/nappy rash cream, ensure you use a liner.
