Cloth nappy tips

Don't buy fleece liners - make your own instead by cutting up a fleece blanket or a metre of fleece fabric

Save even more money by using washable wipes.

Don't use fabric conditioner when washing your nappies as it will reduce their absorbancy.

Poo stains are quickly and easily removed by sunlight.

Use minimal powder in your nappy wash to prevent detergent build up.

No need to use any chemicals or water in your nappy pail. Just store nappies dry in a bucket with a tight fitting lid.

Unfortunately, most cloth nappies available on the high street are not very good - do some research online to see which types will suit you and your baby best.  Use our links page to get you started.

Cloth nappy terminology can be very confusing for a novice - visit this great guide to cloth nappy systems and it should all become much clearer.

Although birth-to-potty bulk packs may seem good value, if you choose the wrong nappies, you may end up spending more money. SRNN suggests buying a number of different types of nappies and trying them out on your baby to see what suits you best.
