Frequently Asked Questions
Firstly, think about your lifestyle and personal preferences.
1. Budget options for a newborn who needs 30+ nappies?
Backup options in bad weather?
==SOLUTION: Choose bamboo trifolds/prefolds, fold into thirds to make a pad and place inside a nappy cover. Simple, cheap to set up, and dries quickly. The trifolds can then be used as pocket nappy stuffers when baby grows bigger.
2. Want convenience over cost?
Or a quick change for a wriggly baby/going out?
Or an easy nappy for carers/nannies/day care?
==SOLUTION: Then choose a pocket nappy or All-In-Two, just stuff it beforehand and it’s ready to go. Or use an All-in-One nappy, the ultimate in convenience!
3. Need extra absorbancy?
Or need the assurance of a leak proof & poo-proof nappy system for younger babies?
==SOLUTION: Choose a fitted nappy + nappy cover system. The whole fitted nappy is absorbant, and the double elastics of the fitted and cover acts as two lines of defense in leak proofing your nappy.
How do I wash cloth nappies?Washing cloth nappies is as simple as doing a normal load of laundry in the washing machine.
There is no need to soak nappies if you own a modern washing machine, they are much more efficient in cleaning nappies than olden models.
NOTE: These instructions are not meant for WOOL nappy items! Please check the wool laundry instructions instead in 'Use & Care' :)
1. After changing baby, wet nappies can go straight into a dry pail to be stored until wash day.
Any solids should be scraped or rinsed into the toilet before storing in a dry pail.
2. When the pail is full, toss all the nappies into the washing machine.
Nappies that have a velcro closures would need them to be attached to laundry tabs to prevent 'nappy chains' from forming in the machine!
3. Run a pre-rinse cycle using cold water.
4. Then run a full wash cycle, using a safe detergent*. (recommend 40-60ºC)
5. Line dry in the sun** (preferred) or use the dryer.
*A safe detergent is a simple one: no bleaching agents, no fabric softeners, no enzymes, no optical brighteners, nothing but pure detergent-y goodness :)
**Sunlight is a natural stain remover and sanitizer (kills germs and bacteria).
The more the better, they last longer this way (LOL)
While the above is true, I usually recommend the following numbers for people wanting to use cloth either part-time or full-time.
To wash every day: (estimated number of nappies per day) x 2
To wash every other day: (estimated number of nappies per day) x 3
For full-time use:
- Newborn to about 3-4 months: at least 12 nappies per day, more if your baby wets or poos a lot
To wash every day: 12 x 2 = 24 nappies
To wash every other day: 12 x 3 = 36 nappies
- for an older baby (4-5 months to toddlerhood): at least 5-6 nappies per day, with 1-2 night-time nappies if sleeping through
To wash every day:
6 day nappies x 2 = 12 day nappies;
1 night nappy x 2 = 2 night nappies
To wash every other day:
6 day nappies x 3 =18 day nappies;
1 night nappy x 3 = 3 night nappies
For part-time use on an older baby:
- day-time: at least 4-6 nappies per day (recommend changing every 2-3 hours for good hygiene).
- night-time: 1-2 nappies per night.
