Good morning Mamas. How are we today? Did you hit the beach and have a great time with baby this Easter? This is the start of Holiday season and this is such a great time to start baby on swimming lessons. Did you know you could use cloth diaper covers for swimming? Honest! Plus swimming is a great mental and physical exercise (wait till your child who never likes eating grabs a bowl of eba and okra soup desperately after their first swim class and Knocks off at 8pm till 7am the next morning! grin). Plus there are educational benefits for swimming (in Nigeria and relating to abroad, you would be surprised to learn of them). It's always best to start them early, 3 months is ideal for a private pool and 6-8 months for a well-maintained public pool in Nigeria.

Zheemub:Congrats already ma'am, wishing u a smooth delivery I can tell u cloth diapering is amazing! More healthy,cheaper on d long run,saves u from daiper rash wahala etc.its worth it.although its expensive at d beginning but its way cheaper later cos u can use it for d next baby. I'll say start saving towards it if u would like to coth daiper ur baby full time. U can start with 3 daiper covers and 7 inserts.but if u have s money buy as many inserts as u can afford cos newborns tend to b changed more frequently. All d best in dis beautiful fluff lifestyle I'm almost becoming an addict 2 Likes |

Zheemub: Do you want to start from birth and how often you intend to do stress free nappy laundry. Those are the essential questions that will guide you. For example: A newborn will easily go through 12 nappies a day. If you want to wash at the end of the day without panicing about running out then the fomular I use is 12 nappy per whole day + 6 extra Washing everyday- 12 + 6 nappies= 18 minimum Washing every 2nd day - 24 +6 = 30 minimum Washing every 3rd day - 36 +6 = 42minimum. This helps to have a few clean dry nappies while the washed ones are drying. For a two part system this may translate as 18 nappies = 18 prefolds/inserts and 6 - 9 covers minimum. As your baby grows they will use less per day and then you will find out that your initial stash will cover a longer period between laundry. 1 Like |
Re: This Is How We Cloth Diaper! by Zheemub(f): 8:35pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
Thanks AlphaHandMaiden. Even though I don't really understand the logic. I presume I need up to 20 nappies a day. Hmmmmm isn't that too much to buy for a start considering economy situation. Maybe I should start saving 2000 from now till I will buy. What I wanted to know was how many diaper covers, insert, prefolds I need to buy for a start. Let's say I have 10000. What can this amount cover? Thanks once again |
Re: This Is How We Cloth Diaper! by AlphaHandMaiden(f): 11:09pm On Apr 29, 2017 |
Zheemub: This is my own logic: If you are able to wash and hang nappies every evening: 12 nappies is ideal for a newborn over 24 hours. If we count from day break, by evening you have used 6 nappies and you wash those and hang them out to dry before you sleep, you still have 12 clean nappies to use the next 24hrs. By the next evening when you wash however many of those 12, you will have at least 6 clean dry ones to use. The reason you have more inserts than covers is because your can reuse the covers if it is only pee. when your baby poos then you add the covers to your dirty pile. Too many cloth nappies?!!!!.... Woman! There can be no such thing! Lol! You are talking to a fluff addict here oh! The ONLY reason i havent gotten more is because i do not have physical space to put it! Plus i havent concocted a story valid enough to explain to alphahubby why the close to 50 nappies i have are suddenly not enough now that my dd only goes through 6 or 7 a day! Lol! If you look at the economic situation: it still works out cheaper for you. The difference is that cloth nappies have a higher upfront cost. But once you buy your stash... you are done! For at least 2 years for this current child and it will serve at least one more child. As opposed to disposable that you buy monthly or even weekly, 5K here and there and in 3 months you may have spent N50K easily without even knowing and you are stil rationing oh... if the disposable has not reached the knee or baby poos ... no changing. . in a year you have spent N250K or even more and then start again with every child you have. Every day you use cloth, you save on not only the money for disposables but also reduce the amount of trash you will produce! You wll be amazed at your first week after your baby arrives that the bin is always full, and of nappies and if the refuse collection don't come on time..... na problem. 20 nappies is a good number to start. Get a mix of prefolds and inserts. Maybe 12 prefold and about 8 inserts ( some hemp some bamboo) to make up your 20 pieces. (Count the nappies based on the absorbent parts as this is the part you will change at every nappy change. With the inserts, you may need only one when you baby is still small, as they grow you may need to double up or add an insert to the prefold to boost absorbtion. As they will pee more and you leave them longer between changes. Then aim for about 6 -10 covers 1 or 2 wet bags (a spare for when the other is in the wash. About 10 or so wipes. Liners are optional especially when still only breast or formular fed. They are in my opinion amazing once you start weaning. N10K will probably get you about 4 prefolds and 2 covers. You need to confirm the prices though. It may not look like much, but let me paint you a scenario: If you use 8 - 12 nappies/ day and each disposable cost N100( assuming premium brands here and buying the jumbo packs). Then you are spending N800 - N1,200 a day on nappies. ( if you have to buy smaller packs this figure will even be more! Not everyone will have 20K to buy larger packs even though hey are more economical) If you buy 4 cloth nappies for N10K and you substitute 4 of your daily disposables for cloth, that 10K would have paid for its self in 25 days..... ( 10,000/400) everything after then is a saving. So imagine that substituting only 4 cloth nappies a day is saving you N400 per day, in a year that could be up to N150K. Now imagine what you will save if you use the same cloth nappies full time, till potty training and for a second child. I for insrance still buy a bit of disposables to use on trips and at other times because lets face it , sometimes it is quite convienient but i use like a pack of 40 for about 4-6weeks. If i were to be using only disposables a pack of 40 will last me only 7 or so days maximum. Since you still have a while to go, saving up is a good idea and then you buy a substantial abount at the end. Or you buy in bits. Sorry for the sermon! Lol! But i hope you catch my drift! 1 Like 1 Share |

hello onegai, if i am buying a hemp or bamboo insert will i be needing a snappi fastener? is it just for cotton prefolds? thanks |

How do you cope with wet nappies during the night? I use the hemp insert and the prefold and it still spills wee everywhere. Baby that used to sleep through the night now wakes up for a nappy change. Help. 1 Like 1 Share |

XX01: Hi, could you please take a picture and upload it so we can see? It may be due to leaks (especially from the side) because Hemp and Cotton combo is supposed to be one of the most absorbent combos. If it isn't a leak, let us put heads together and figure this out.
