What’s old is new again and fabric diapers or fabric diapers have evolved in the past decade from terry towelling squares to practical all-in-one/one-size nappies. New Age Nappies has been involved in the cloth nappy industry for the previous 6 years and has firsthand experience with using modern cloth diapers and gladly provides practical advice to new users.
During the winter months nappy rash emerges as a controversy as babies tend to go without nappy-free time. Jumping from dispensable nappies to modern material nappies and vice versa offers an alternate medium and decreases the incidence of nappy rash as the natural fibres against the baby’s bottom helps ward off nappy rash. Many of us believe that you can’t use nappy rash creams while you use cloth nappies however that’s not the case. “Magic Sticks” are, to my mind, the best product on the market to treat nappy rash and keep it in check while using any kind of nappy, either cloth or expendable. They are made of all natural ingredients and are so straightforward to use “you will not get it on your fingers and you don’t even need a liner in your nappy. Also remember that you shouldn’t use baby powder either with material nappies “using baby powder will make your cloth nappies less absorbent so avoid it at any cost!
Many of us frequently ask which are the cheapest nappy plans? It actually boils down to short term against long-term considerations. On a day by day basis disposables are the lowest incremental outlay on that day but over time , using any kind of material nappy would be less expensive than using the cheapest single shot expendable nappies and the total savings would increase further if you were comparing against the best throwaway nappies. In the cloth area using prefolds with a PUL nappy cover is the least expensive nappy solution as prefolds are inexpensive and you only need one cover for 2 to 3 prefolds. You can utilise an one size fits all nappy cover to start so you will not have to buy any more diapers after the initial expenditure.
If employing a prefold nappy is too difficult then a fitted nappy with a cover is a good idea. Fitted nappies have elastic around the legs which fits the baby better and will keep in more explosions. Fitted nappies are very good because the entire nappy is absorbent so they’re more absorbent than all in ones or pocket nappies, the only down side is they are barely more bulky.
Based on our practical experiences New Age Nappies developed a practical kind of pocket nappies to suit all families “Pixie Poppits”. They’re economic nappies made to fit from birth to potty training. The technique was to deliver a nappy solution for roughly a 3rd of a throw-away outlay over the same period so you’ll have enough nappies to last until your baby is toilet trained. Its gets less expensive as these diapers are then reused on any future additions to the family.
Like most nappy providers New Age Diapers has a check list for using your fabric nappy that includes wet bags, liners, fabric nappy washing natural soaps and material wipes. The web site has, as posted purchaser reviews, suggestions along with further detailed nappy details you could need to make the correct fabric nappy choice for your baby.
