#realnappies

Today has been a good day. We went to our local playgroup for people who home educate and we had a great time. I keep meaning to go weekly but life gets in the way. Also, I'm falling completely in love with our new nappy system of prefolds + wool covers, which is some kind of amazing magic. Lanolised wool doesn't get damp and because it's all breathable it allows the prefold to partially dry in between changes. I've been finding cloth nappies annoying when we're out and about because of all the changes which are hard to do with a 3yo in tow but he stays dry ALL afternoon when he's wearing his woolly covers which is amazing. These were a lovely baby shower present from @judyboo ☺ #realnappies #clothnappies

Finally sunny enough to dry our reusable nappies outside again ☀️ #reusablenappies #realnappies #clothnappies #clothdiapers

Why it took me so long, I don't know. I can blame baby brain I suppose...

Just Need to add poppers to the nappy. #cumbria #clothbums #clothnappy #clothdiaper #nappy #realnappy #realnappies #reusablenappy

What I'm doing at the moment is using some [very] old lavender spray and just spaying inside the bucket after I've emptied it for a wash.

Many manufacturers recommend using liners if you’re using a barrier cream. This is so the cream doesn’t build up in the fabric of the nappy making them less absorbent. I’m currently using Weleda Calendula cream, which smells lovely and works really well.

I wash my nappies every other day having left them, dry, in a bucket for that time. I use the Tots Bots potion, mainly because I know it won’t do any harm to my nappies. There are lots of ways to wash your nappies, but this is what I choose to do. I then either dry them on the line, if the weather’s good, or a dry them on an airer over the bath. The Easyfits dry really quickly, as do the wraps, but the bamboozles take a lot longer to dry. I have quite a few nappies so I don’t really use my tumble drier very often. Although there was a time when I only had a few night time bamboozle nappies and so had to ‘finish off’ the drying with the drier
