Flat Cloth Nappies

 Nappy distributors abound with a wide range of diapers. It can really get confusing which one to purchase. The choice of nappies will depend mostly on your baby’s needs.

Babies may not be able to say which one is best for them but their growth can be very dynamic mothers need to pay attention to the changes going on in their bodily functions. The wrong nappy type or size can mess up your budget or even result to costly health problems.

Different sizes, styles and designs of nappies cater to different baby ages, weight and personalities. Newborns that sleep more and are fed less void less as well. In this case, the best type of nappy for these babies is the flat cloth ones. Bigger, older and more mobile babies require all-in-one nappies for their active lifestyle. Diaper styles may differ between genders and more discriminating moms choose to wrap their little girls in feminine designs or their baby boys in cute blue prints. Tiny babies or newborns are best covered in small-sized flat cloth nappies for the proper fit. The list below should tell you why you should chose flat cloth nappy over pre-folded or disposable diapers:

Flat cloth nappies are very versatile because of their rectangular shape and may be worn by both small and big newborns. Moms only need to fold them according to their baby’s size for the right fit. As opposed to pre-folded ones, these nappies can be wrapped around newborns that don’t really need a snug fit as they move less than their older counterparts. Small-sized disposables can be too bulky for tiny babies. Pre-folded nappies are shaped or folded according to a specific size.

Flat cloth nappies may be less absorbent than disposables but they are easier to maintain. Because they are made of lightweight natural materials such as cotton or hemp so are they faster to wash and dry.

Newborn baby’s skin is more sensitive and prone to adverse reactions when in continuous contact with chemically-treated absorbent disposables. The dry, warm environment with disposables encourages bacteria growth that can cause rashes or skin break-ups. Flat cloth nappies do not pose much of that problem because of their unbleached cotton material that allows the skin to breath.

Flat cloth nappies may be used as absorbent inserts and protected by water-proof pants. This feature makes it a cost-efficient choice for mothers who are budget-conscious. They just need to be washed and dried properly for future use. Throwing away disposables is like throwing hard-earned money.

Flat cloth nappies are environment-friendly as they do not add up to the world’s landfills that are bad for Mother Nature. Disposables have been found to be non-biodegradable or if they are, take time to break down.

Flat cloth nappies may be handed down from one baby to another with proper care and storage. If they are no longer suitable for baby’s use, they may also be used as all-around wiping cloths or rags for dad’s tools and car! Such is the versatility of flat cloth nappies. The longer it stays in the family, the more useful it becomes.
