FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How many nappies will I need?

If you plan on using cloth nappies full time on your new born you may find that you will require approx 18-24 nappies.  I used 5x Real Nappy covers and 18x prefold nappies (1xEssentials Pack & 1xTop Up Pack) and that seemed to be fine with washing every day.  I also used some of the Eco Moltex Disposables in the first 4 weeks though for those tired days!

As your baby gets older they will need fewer nappy changes.  I found that I managed with 10 nappies when I changed my eldest child over to cloth nappies at the age of 17 months although some days were hard to get them dried in time to use again!  A good amount to have would be 16-20 nappies.  It is important to remember that most waterproof covers cannot be dried in the dryer (inners/prefolds can).

How should I clean my nappies?

Nappies no longer need to be soaked.  In fact, soaking/bleaching your Modern Cloth Nappies will most likely ruin them!  All you need to do is flush any solids away in the toilet (very easy if you're using Flushable Liners), store them in a dry pail or nappy bucket, then rinse before placing them in the washing machine.  It is recommended to use only 1/2 the normal amount of detergent and to ensure that it does not contain enzymes.  You may like to give your nappies an extra rinse on occasion also.  If you are worried about staining you should find that the sun will naturally bleach out any stains while your nappies are drying on the line.
