IMPORTANT
- Because this is an entirely new design, I suggest that you play with ALL the folds for a while, so you understand EXACTLY how the adjustments work.
- "Right" and "left” refers to YOUR right and left.
- The widest part of the nappy will be referred to as the wings
- The long part of the nappy will be referred to as the tongue.
- Once the tongue is doubled or tripled, it will be referred to as the flap
Other tips
Do not regularly wash above 60ºC
For best results use a full dose of washing powder, preferably Bio, rather than liquid.
Do not use fabric conditioner, although an occasional dose will no harm the nappy.
Use a long wash programme.
Give nappies a cold rinse or cold quick wash before your main wash, and an extra rinse after
These nappies will air dry overnight on an indoor airer.>
Preferably line dry.
DO NOT tumble on high heat.
Do not place directly on a heated surface or radiator to dry.

Folding
Newborn Babies - 5-10 lbs approximately
Fold the top of the wings down a couple of inches (or even more) at the top, behind the main part of the nappy. This fold can be played with and reduced as your baby grows
Fold the tongue lengthwise in 3, so it is triple thickness (or even 4 thicknesses, if your baby is very tiny)
Lay your baby with his/her waist at the top of the back of the nappy
Pull the flap made by the tongue up between your baby's legs.
Pull the left wing across his/her tummy, pulling it tight around his/her back, and tucking it any excess back under in front
Pull the right wing across his/her tummy, and again fold any excess underneath itself, so the fold comes to the middle of the front of the flap.
Use a nappy nippa to hold the nappy in place.
Tuck up about 1” around the top of each leg
Add a nappy cover – either a PUL wrap, such as a Nature Babies wrap, or a wool nappy cover
Young babies - 9-12 lbs approx
Fit as above, but lessen the first fold, and reduce the tongue to 2 thicknesses if necessary.
Toddlers 12-20lbs approx
As above, but there is no need to fold down the back of the nappy at this stage. Adjust the length of the tongue, to fit, and add one insert inside the tongue folds if necessary, to increase absorbency.
Tuck under about 1" around the top of each leg.
Add a nappy cover – either a PUL wrap, such as a Nature Babies wrap, or a wool nappy cover
Larger babies
As above, but use both inserts if necessary, to further increase absorbency.
Tuck under about 1" around the top of each leg.
Add a nappy cover – either a PUL wrap, such as a Nature Babies wrap, or a wool nappy cover
