The best cloth nappies for newborns

When it comes to cloth nappies, one of the questions that comes up time and time again is what are the best cloth nappies for newborns. You may think that all cloth nappies are equal and that all babies, no matter what their age, will suit the same type of cloth nappies, but this isn’t necessarily true. So what should you look for in a cloth nappy for a newborn baby and what type is the best?

What to look for in newborn cloth nappies

What do you need to look for in a newborn nappy?

  • A good fit; newborns usually have very liquid motions, which can cause nappy leaks, so a nappy that fits really well is essential.
  • Easy to care for; nobody wants to deal with something that needs complicated laundering techniques when they are busy with a tiny baby.
  • Easy to use; having a tiny baby often means lack of sleep, a nappy that is easy to use certainly makes life easier.
  • Quick drying; newborns need changing often, a cloth nappy that dries quickly means that you don’t have to have hundreds to hand.
  • Natural fibres; tiny babies have very delicate skin, the more chemicals that you can avoid the better, natural fibres such as cotton are less likely to cause reactions and allergies.

Which are the best cloth nappies for newborns?

Personally I have always preferred a cloth nappy for newborns that requires a separate cover, a simple cotton nappy that has a separate cover over the top means that you can change the quick drying cotton nappy at each change, but only change the cover when needed. Ideally a cover should have a nice firm elastic around the waist and legs and double gussets help to keep everything in. Ecobots have all of these features which makes them one of the best choices for newborn babies.

Where to start

If you’re looking to start using cloth on your little one, then there are a number of ways to start. Our trial packs have three nappy changes in, which is a great choice if you want to give them a go. Our starter packs are a little bigger with six changes, which means that you can give them a really good go over a few days. If you are sure that cloth nappies are for you, then you can’t go far wrong with our basics pack, which has all you need to get started with full time cloth
