Ruskovilla-Baby in Wool - 2018

Taking care of a baby’s hygiene is important

Babies eat lots and regularly to develop, so their nappies are put to hard work. Many families choose to use reusable cloth nappies for the wellbeing of their baby and for environmental reasons. Natural fibres do not smother the baby’s bottom and cloth nappies do not contain any fragrances or other allergy-causing materials. Babies who use cloth nappies often become potty-trained more quickly, as they quickly notice the connection between urination and the nappy becoming wet. Using cloth nappies can save up to 1,500kg of poorly degradable plastic waste. Cotton cloth nappies can be washed hundreds of times and recycled from child to child. Although you should always buy reusable nappy accessories new, they are still significantly cheaper than disposable nappies.

These will get you started: • 24 cotton nappies (folded in triangular form) • 9 extra flannel or wool nappies for the night or outdoor use • two sets of long-legged and two sets of short-legged nappy pants • wool-washing agent, gall soap, wool conditioner (folded in rectangular form) • 15 additional extra flannel or wool nappies (an extra nappy is always handy when the baby grows) • 4 pairs of larger nappy pants • underpants or bodysuits to keep the nappy in place. When your baby grows: • the same cotton nappies Before use wash the nappy pants by hand. It is also recommended to wash new cotton nappies a couple of times in the washing machine before use so that they reach the optimal absorption capability.
