All in One Cloth Nappies- everything you need

You would have probably read in my last post that we are making the move over to cloth nappies. This is for quite a few reasons but the most important being the fact that they are eco-friendly and they will be saving us money in the long-run… up to £500 a year did you know?! We are starting with the all in one cloth nappies but I know there are other versions available and there is a lot for me to still find out but for now, I am going with what seems to be the easiest option.

I wanted to purchase all the right bits and pieces before we started so I could get it right from the off (well, try my best to!) I have listened to lots of other cloth nappy parents, checked out fab Instagrammers and messaged other bloggers to gain as much insight as I could but I have felt the best way to learn is to just jump straight in and see what works for us as a family and for William.

So, I just wanted to give you a quick tick list for yourselves to follow so you can also get started on your cloth nappy journey:

• All in one nappies (obvs!!) The brand is completely up to you. I have gone for Bambino Mio’s starter pack as they are a trusted name and ever so cute!
• Nappy liners– to catch the poo. This can be thrown away.
• Wetbag– for when you are out and about and need somewhere to put your dirty nappy.
• Laundry bag– To pop them into the washing machine.
• Boosters– These are extra liners to boost the absorbency of the nappy.
• Reusable wipes– They work so much better than normal wipes and are also eco-friendly of course! Pop them in the wash with your nappies.
• Plastic dispenser box for your wipes to be kept in– you can half-fill this with water and add your choice of aromatherapy oils for when you go out.
• Washing powder– I have purchased mine directly from Bambino Mio but as long as it is non-bio you will be fine. Just don’t add fabric conditioner as this can affect the nappy’s absorbency.

And, because a list is pretty dull and seeing these things is even better, I have made you a (nervous!) YouTube video of what we have purchased and to talk about the ins and outs of the all in one nappy:

If you have any further hints and tips I would love to hear from you and if you are thinking about making the change, also let me know how you are getting on.
