We've all been there. The high pitched scream. The wailing. The kicking and screaming and total meltdown. If you're lucky it's in the privacy of your own home, over the fact that you peeled their banana wrong or perhaps, god forbid, you asked them to put pants on. But if you're unlucky it might have been in the middle of the supermarket aisle with a captive audience of strangers and judgy looks.
For cloth loving mums, it can be quite a mix of emotions when it our bub begins to show signs of toilet training and our time using cloth comes to an end.
Whilst we may be celebrating this new development stage for our child and an end to the poo scrubbing and regular washing, we might also feel a sense of loss that it's all over.
Children are born creative. Studies have shown that it is just after we start our formal schooling that levels of creativity start to decline. Children are active learners through play, so by providing plenty of opportunity for children to discover, explore, create and imagine we are helping set up their futures.
Hey, I get it! Switching to cloth nappies can be daunting. So why not take a look at our 5 steps to using cloth with confidence (psssst! you can even do all the steps before you've invested you money in a full stash!)
It's days like this that I like to have a really yummy, comforting and EASY dinner planned that I know everyone loves and is basically just a great big hug in a bowl.
Looking for ideas on what to feed your busy, active toddler to keep them sustained, healthy and happy? Here's a run down of what I fed my toddler in a day.
When I first started researching modern cloth nappies, I remember being completely overwhelmed by all of the different styles of nappies, the different materials and of course the dozens of different brands. But one thing I wasn't expecting was that the cloth nappy world has it's own entire language! Forums and Facebook groups are filled with confusing terms, acronyms and words that I simply had never heard of before!
If you're making the switch from disposables, you might find yourself a little puzzled and wondering 'how many cloth nappies do i really need?' Well the answer is simple, you just need to consider two important things first...
Stunning designs and colours - we have several of the V1 and V2. Slightly trimmer fit then the version 1, easy to use and fit to Bub. We use these alongside several popular brands and if these are clean I reach for them first every time 💙
We bought several of the version 1 nappies as the fabrics are stunning. I was sceptical when I received them as they are a generous cut - however they fit our 5kg Bub so beautifully and we have had no issues!
This nappy is certainly a unicorn, I fell in love with the pattern and in person it is so much more. I ended up getting the mini and Reg wet bags. The inserts are so thirsty they hold up past the recommended 2 hours when my little one sleeps longer then expected. The fit is amazing as well, we have yet to have a leak.
