As I wrote
earlier am I a person who think about nature and the environment we live in and
the one our Children will live in when were nog longer round and our
grandchildren. Therefore, have I been
using cloth nappies to both my kids a bit less on my son as we didn’t have
the drying facilities in England. But with our daughter did we start pretty
much as soon as we got home from the hospital and we have both saved a lot of
money but also helped reduce that nappy mountain made from plastic nappies that
take years for mother nature to break down.
So why
cloth nappies and aren’t they disgusting?
The answer
is no. You clean of a lot of things from your babies’ clothes so why should it
be any worse doing it from the nappy? you don’t throw away your children’s clothes
because the plastic nappy leaked which they do a lot especially if your
breastfeeding. We have never been forced to change clothes because of a nappy that’s
leaked. Which is a good result considering we’ve used them for over a year with
nothing else. And if you’re really sensitive why don’t you try elimination
communication which we are where you learn to read your children and puts them
on the potty when they are about to go which we have done with our daughter
from very early on. Most parents can learn to do this and it’s not stressing
the baby just communicating with your babies. I will give you a really good
book at the end about this.
That brings
me to question two I tend to get about cloth nappies.
But don’t they
leak a lot?
No if you
change then regular which you should do anyway with any nappy. Because who
wants to walk round in their own pee all days? I know most plastic nappies are
said to last all night and yes we have cloth nappies that does the same but me
for once would never have a nappy on that long. When she was eating at night I used
to change her at the same time, but now when she doesn’t eat she doesn’t pee
either so she doesn’t need changing either. I think that our elimination
communication has helped a lot as well as she goes for a pee before bed and
when she wakes up on the potty and has done since she was really little. It’s
all about getting to know your baby.
And the
reason we started with cloth nappies from the start was due to financial reasons
to try and save some money especially when we got our daughter as the husband didn’t
have a job and we had recently moved back to Sweden from England so all extra
money was welcome. And we have spent 50 pounds on second-hand nappies and now
we still haven’t spent any more as we have sold old once. Plus, we’ve been
lucky to test some free once to see what we thought about them plus helped
other mama nappy makers by testing new nappies not yet on the market as we are
really passionate about helping the small businesses thrive and develop and
with my experience from nappies and also talking about them it’s been a
pleasure to help other people come up with new nappies and been the test
bunnies. As long as you got a healthy relationship to cloth nappies and doesn’t
become a collector you will save money but I warn you they are a lot of fun and
most people start collecting prints from their favourite nappy brand.
So we have
a lot of fun companies with nappies and there are a few out there but what
works for my baby might not work for yours so a suggestion is to try and start
up with a few different and see what suits your family.
We mostly
use poops, and Charlie banana I will give you the link to those below plus we
love all things woolly especially in the winter.
I have not
been asked to write out their names or anything but I thought I wanted to do so
as because we love these brands.
www.poops.se she is an amazing woman who owns
this brand and always comes up with new ideas I’ve had the pleasure to try a
few things as well from her like her new cloth sanitary pads and they are fabulous
so can’t wait for them to come out on the market. We love the nappy wraps from
here plus her woolly pull up trousers for the summer.
www.charliebanana.co.uk this is our favourite
pocket nappy brand and they have so many cute prints. Pocket nappes are a great
option as you can fill them with as much as you need depending on situation
plus they dry quick. Charlie banana has a fleece inner so they feel dry against
the skin
IF you’re a
Swedish person who wants to try Charlie banana I highly recommend www.lillemoln.se they have his and eco-friendly
clothes for example and this is where I’ve bought my Charlie banana when I’m
not in the UK and can order to my mother-in-law
If you have
any question about cloth nappies, please feel free to comment and I’ll try to answer
as well as I can.
