These gorgeous cloth nappies are perfect for babies from birth (circa 3 kg / 6 lbs) until approx. 6 months (circa 8 kg / 17.6 lbs)!
Baba+Boo newborn cloth nappies can be used from birth. They're designed to fit little ones who weigh between approx. 3 kg (6 lbs) until 8 kg (17.6 lbs). On average, they can be used until your baby is about 6 months old. After this, you can move up to their one size nappies, which last right up until potty training.
These waterproof cloth nappies are 'pocket nappies' - they have a pocket at the back where you can add 1 or 2 inserts to increase the absorbency of the nappies as necessary. Each Baba+Boo cloth nappy comes with 2 bamboo mix booster inserts.
When your baby's still small, you usually just need one insert. The nappies should be changed every 3 hours. As your little one grows, one booster insert might not be enough, so you can use two at the same time. You can also use biodegradable nappy liners - which are easy to dispose of - to catch solids. If you're breastfeeding, you won't need to use liners, as... well, there won't be any solids, so you can simply pop used nappies in the wash! The waistband and cuffs at the legs keep everything in and prevent poo-splosions.
The newborn nappies are fastened with velcro, ensuring a great fit. The size can be altered using the poppers on the front of the nappy. There are two different adjustment options: buttoned together for newborns and open for bigger babies.
The nappy's outer is made from 100% polyester with polyurethane coating. The inner is made from soft 100% microfleece, and the 2 booster inserts are made from 2 layers of bamboo and 2 layers of microfibre (Material: Outer: 100% polyester (with polyurethane coating); Inner: 100% polyester; Inserts: 70% viscose (from bamboo cellulose), 30% polyester).
Getting starting with cloth nappies is much easier than most people think! If you have any questions, get in touch as we'd be happy to advise you - or just get started by yourself. Cloth nappies aren't just better for the environment - they're better for your little one's skin... and your purse!
We also offer cloth nappy starter kits which come with nappies and a variety of useful accessories. If you're planning on stocking up, you can save money with our bundle packs: choose between our small starter kit with 10 newborn nappies and our large starter kit with 20 newborn nappies.
Washing & Care Instructions
- Washing the nappy booster inserts three times helps to increase their absorbency before using for the first time. You can simply throw them in a normal wash and you don't need to dry them in between each pre-wash.
- After use, remove any solids from the nappy (you can simply knock any solids into the toilet) and store them in a wet bag or in a nappy bucket until you wash them (if using a bucket, remember to leave it open a crack if possible so that the air can circulate).
- Wash the nappies in the washing machine at 40°C or 60°C (cotton wash). Rinsing the nappy beforehand can help to remove urine and stools.
- Please don't use any chlorine bleach (oxygen bleach is okay) or fabric softener on the nappies.
- We recommend air-drying your nappies, as it's better for both the nappies and the environment. However, a gentle tumble dryer cycle is also possible.
- Please don't dry directly on radiators or heating, or leave for long in the direct sunlight to dry. The heat can damage the elastic and the polyurethane coating. Also, please don't leave the nappies in the car for too long during heatwaves.
- If using nappy cream, please place a nappy liner between the nappy and your baby's bum.
