Cost, Comfort & Care: All About Reusable Nappies
When preparing for your little one's arrival, nappy choice is a crucial consideration. Did you know that disposable nappies contribute to massive landfill waste? Whereas reusable nappies not only offer significant environmental benefits, they're kinder to your baby's delicate skin too. That's a win-win in our book!
Get to Know Next-Gen Reusable Nappies
Forget the old images of terry cloth squares and pins! Modern reusable nappies are designed for convenience and comfort. Take Bambino Mio’s revolutionary reusable nappy. It's been designed to fit your baby from newborn to potty training, eliminating the need for constant size changes.
How Many Cloth Nappies Do You Need?
For full-time use, you'll need a sufficient supply to ensure you always have clean nappies available while others are being washed. Around 20 reusable nappies is a good number to aim for if you want to use them full-time. However many parents find a combination of reusable and disposable nappies works well for them, especially when starting out.
How Do Reusable Nappies Work?
Cloth nappies are generally simple to use, easy to care for and a practical option for most families. The process is simple: use them like any other nappy, but instead of discarding them, they are washed and reused.
How Do You Wash Reusable Nappies?
Modern washing machines make cleaning reusable nappies incredibly straightforward. Simply place them in your washing machine with your regular, gentle, non-biological detergent on a 40-degree wash. This ease of care makes them a practical choice for busy parents. See the full reusable nappy wash guide here.
Skin Health: The Gentle Choice
Reusable nappies, like the innovative design from Bambino Mio, are made from soft, high-performing, absorbent materials that are free from the chemical gels found in disposable nappies. These gels are often linked to skin irritation and nappy rash. By choosing reusable nappies, you minimise your baby's exposure to potential irritants, promoting healthier, happier skin.
- Reduced chemical exposure: Disposable nappies often contain chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin. Reusable nappies, made from soft fibres, offer a gentler alternative.
- Breathability: Reusable nappies are designed with breathable fabrics, reducing moisture build-up and further helping to prevent nappy rash.
Nappy Cream And Reusable Nappies
Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil and our zinc-based Happy Nappy Cream are both a great choice of nappy cream for reusable nappies. They won't damage the cloth of the nappy and provide gentle and effective care for your baby's delicate nappy area.
Potty Training And Comfort
In a recent survey, it was found that on average children in reusable nappies transition to potty training 33% quicker than babies in disposable nappies. This is thanks to the increased awareness of wetness, helping them understand their body's signals.
Economical Benefits - Are Reusable Nappies Worth It?
As well as the brilliant skin benefits, reusable nappies can also save you money in the long run. By reducing the need to constantly purchase disposable nappies, you're making a cost-effective and environmentally conscious choice. And because babies who wear cloth nappies usually transition to potty training much quicker, it could save you another year of buying nappies and pull-ups.
Conclusion: Why We Love Reusable Nappies
Choosing reusable nappies is a great way to care for your baby's skin, ensuring comfort and health while reducing exposure to potentially irritating chemicals. Cloth nappies are also better for the environment and will save you money in the long-run. Hooray!
