Newborn

Newborn

That beautiful squishy, sleep deprived period from birth to 12 weeks.

This is possibly the most challanging period for cloth nappying and also when most people will give up but it can also be the most rewarding (especially for your pocket).  A lot of mums will decide to wait until after this period to begin using cloth but there are many reasons to start straight away and we have some suggestions to deal with the most common problems

       Challenges
  • Babies in this age group are changed frequently, up to 1012 times a day. 
  • Babies weight and size is unknown until birth.
  • Babies are sometimes too small for reliable use of most one size nappies (one size weight limit starts at 4kg [8lb 13oz]).
  • Newborns characteristically have quite skinny legs making leaks more common.
  • Very runny, explosive newborn poos.
  • Babies grow quite quickly so a newborn nappying solution needs to be economical.
      Rewards
  • Babies being changed 1012 times a day in cloth are going to save approximately $2–$4 a day.
  • Using cloth means it is easier to record how many wet nappies a day your baby is producing, which is important for those first few weeks when establishing breast feeding.
  • Knowing that your precious baby's bottom is swaddled in soft buttery cloth rather than plastic and water absorbing crystals.
       Product Choices
  • Look for a product that gives good poo-tainment like leg gussets e.g. Imse Vimse covers, Pop-In one size nappy.
  • You might like to start with organic or natural fibres such as cotton velour, flannelette, bamboo or hemp if you have a family history of eczema or skin allergies e.g. Swaddlebees AIOs and one size nappies (organic cotton velour inners), Berry Plush covers with hemp or bamboo insert, Pop-In one size nappies (bamboo insert), Spunky Butts AIO (cotton inner), Bubblebubs AIO (cotton inner), and Dream Eze AIO (cotton inner).
  • Economical or ability to be used for future children e.g. one size nappies can be used from birth to toilet training.
