Where to start with cloth nappies

Knowing where to start with cloth nappies, can be very confusing. Particularly if you haven’t used cloth before, or if this is your first baby. Cloth nappies can save you lots of money, but they can be costly to begin with, so making the right choice is important. Here are some tips for starting out with reusable nappies.

Trial packs

Buying a full set of cloth nappies before your baby arrives, can be a little daunting. You don’t want to make the wrong choice and end up with a set that you never use. A good way around this is to start out slowly. Have a few cloth nappies to try out before you commit to buying a full set. The ecobots trial pack comes with three prefold cloth nappies, a nappy cover, snappi nappy fastener and instructions for use. This is a great way to try out our nappies as there is three nappy changes included in the pack, so that you can really give them a go. If you want to try out a few more than that, we also stock a starter pack, which comes with six pre-folds, two covers, a snappi, and instructions. The starter pack contains at least enough for a full days use, so that you can really find out if they are for you.

Cloth nappies from Newborn

Many parents want to start using cloth nappies right from birth, which is something that I did with my four children. If you want to do this then you will need more nappies. Our basics pack is a good pack to start out with. It has all the nappies and covers that you need in each size. So, if you want to start from newborn, the newborn basics pack has everything that you’ll need for the first size. Then if you find that ecobots are the nappies for you, you can go on to buy the basics packs in the other sizes.

A Trusted Brand

Ecobots have been used by Kiwi parents for over ten years now. They are easy to use and care for and very reliable. 1000’s of parents have already used and loved them for their precious babies. You can be confident that by buying our nappies, you are choosing a great cloth nappy. For this reason we do birth to potty packs that have everything that you will need for your little one. We’re confident that you will love our nappies and love to use them on your precious little one.

Getting started with cloth nappies

When I talk to parents about using cloth, I always recommend starting out with Ecobots on a newborn. Even if you decide to go with a different brand or style later on, there are lots of reasons that Ecobots are a great first choice. Our fantastic covers deal with newborn poo explosions far better than any other I have tried. Cotton pre-fold nappies are easy to wash and take care of and fairly quick drying. As you usually only change the inner, rather than the full nappy, they also cope really well with the amount of changes that you will need to do on a newborn baby, reducing the amount of work for you.
