Baba and Boo Newborn Nappies are different to most 'newborn' nappies in that they should last a little longer. Whereas most newborn nappies will be outgrown by about 12lb, these should fit through to about 18lbs/8kg (about 6 months-ish).
This is achieved through having poppers on the front which allow you to adjust the 'rise' of the nappy (much like many 'birth to potty' nappies).
The nappy is a 'pocket' nappy allowing you to stuff the absorbent pads into a pocket. So, once stuffed, these are very easy to use. You get 2 absorbent bamboo-mix pads with each nappy so this again, gives you improved absorbency (if required) for a slightly older baby.
When your baby is teeny tiny, you will normally only need to use one insert, which should last up to four hours. Once your baby starts to grow (which is always too quick!) and you find the nappy is not lasting as long, it's time to add the other insert.
If you want you can use a liner. This sits between the nappy and baby’s bottom to catch any solid poo and keep wetness away from baby’s skin. Liners aren’t essential (especially for exclusively breastfed babies who don’t produce anything...solid…) but many parents find they make changes easier.
Features include:
-
Popper system to the front
-
Velcro fastening for super-quick changing and easy night time changes
-
Waterproof lining - no need for anything extra
-
Gusset which helps keeps the poop inside the nappy and helps with those poo-explosions
-
Completely free of nasties
Care:
-
Pre-washing before use helps increase the absorbency of your nappies. Follow the washing instructions below and repeat up to three times. You don't need to dry them between washes.
-
After use, knock any solids into the toilet (or remove the biodegradable liner if you have used one). Put the used nappy in the nappy bucket until wash day.
-
It can help to put the nappies on a cold rinse before washing as this ensures all the solids have been washed away before the washing cycle.
-
Your nappies can be washed at 60°C, although many parents find that 40°C is usually sufficient.
-
Use your usual detergent. Our nappies are designed to fit in with you, not the other way around.
-
Don't use any fabric conditioner or bleaching agents
-
Your nappies are best dried naturally, although you can put them on a low setting in the tumble dryer. Natural is best for your nappies and the planet too.
-
Do be careful if they have been near heat such as the tumble dryer or radiator and don't stuff the inserts back in straight away. The heat can weaken the elastic and cause it to snap.
-
If you do need to use barrier/nappy rash cream, ensure you use a liner.
