Cloth Nappies
Did you know that every baby will need around 5,000 nappy changes before they’re toilet-trained? If you’re currently using disposable nappies, you might be surprised to learn that there’s a more sustainable and cost-effective option available. At Green by the Bay, I’m excited to introduce you to the benefits of cloth nappies, which offer a simple and rewarding alternative.
**Cost Effective**
With disposable nappies, nappy sacks, and baby wipes, you might spend upwards of £10 per week during the first 2.5 years—adding up to around £1,300 by the time your baby is potty trained. Opting for high-quality washable nappies can save you money, often costing under £500 for the same period.
**Eco Friendly**
In the UK, we dispose of 500,000 tonnes of nappies each year, which end up in landfill sites. When landfills reach capacity, it leads to more large-scale incineration, which is not ideal for your local environment.
**User Friendly**
Modern cloth nappies with velcro or popper fastenings make nappy changing quick and effortless. Plus, simple washing routines make caring for your nappies easy and manageable.
**Gentle on Skin**
By choosing natural, breathable fabrics like organic cotton and bamboo, you’ll be protecting your baby’s delicate skin, which is much thinner than an adult’s.
**Stylish Choices**
My washable nappies come in a vibrant range of colours and designs, from bold block colours to collectible prints, allowing you to find something that fits your style.
Wanting to use cloth nappies but don’t know where to start? I can help! I understand that making the switch to cloth nappies can seem daunting. With so many options available, it’s hard to know where to begin. That’s where I come in, I can explain all the different types of cloth nappies and let you try them before you buy. This way, you can make an informed decision, ensuring that you choose the best option for you (saving money), your baby (fewer chemicals and cute designs), and the planet (more washing, less landfill!).
Newborn Kit Hire
I have newborn kits that are perfect for babies from 5lbs (2.25kg) to 16lbs (7kg). These kits include a selection of nappies sufficient for full-time use right from birth. They come with 10 newborn-sized all-in-ones, 15 newborn two-part nappies, 5 flat nappies, and 8 small or extra-small wraps. You’ll also receive liners, a wetbag, washable wipes, and a bucket if needed.
These kits are designed to help you use cloth nappy from birth and are available for £30 for an 8-week period.
Birth to Potty Kit Hire
I offer birth to potty kits designed to fit babies from around 11lbs (or 5kg) to about 35lbs (or 16kg). These highly sought-after kits come with 20 different nappies, including a mix of all-in-ones, pockets, all-in-twos, fitted (two-part), and flat nappies. To help you make the most of your experience, I provide all the necessary accessories such as liners, a wetbag, vest extender, washable wipes, and even a bucket.
These kits are perfect for exploring whether cloth nappies are right for you and discovering which styles and brands best meet your needs. They are available for £20 for a 4-week period. Due to their popularity, there is currently a waiting list of about 3 weeks.
Pod Hire
If you’re interested in using cloth nappies but find it overwhelming to get started, a pod hire might be a better option for you. With a pod hire, you get 7 nappies in either newborn or birth-to-potty sizes. You can try one cloth nappy each day for a week, with a few extra days included for washing and returning. This trial period is available for £10 for 10 days.
If you're already using cloth nappies but want to explore new options—whether it's a different style, brand, night nappies, or flat nappies—the pods can be fully customised to suit your needs.
