~Organic Cloth Nappies
Why should I use Cloth?
There are so many reasons to choose cloth! Most people have some individual reasons, but there are collective reasons, such as..........
- Cloth will save money! A fitted cloth nappy system, such as Baby BeeHinds, will cost more than regular terry towelling squares, yes that is true. However they are more absorbent and more convenient, so it is a matter of weighing up costs vs convenience. Our cloth nappy system is just as convenient to use as disposable nappies......except we'll save you money, and a lot of it! You'll save approximately £650+ per child when compared to using disposables!
-
Cloth nappies are definitely NOT hard to use! Our system offers superior fabrics, gentle elastic around the legs and back for a shaped fit and easy closure systems. We also provide detailed instructions on how to fit your nappies to your baby and care for them to ensure they last!
-
Cloth nappies are more comfortable for baby! Yes, that's right. Would you prefer plastic underwear or fabric underwear? Our cloth nappies are manufactured from the highest quality natural fabrics that are soft against baby's skin. Our waterproof PUL covers are breathable to keep baby cool and comfortable . Our wool covers offer the most breathable option of all. We offer you only the best products that have been designed around our OWN babies, with complete comfort and effectiveness in mind.
-
Cloth nappies do not contribute to landfill and water table contamination.
-
And finally..... you'll feel the traditional love of a soft padded baby's beehind when they're clothed in cloth. Cloth really is the CUTEST!

Setting Up A Modern Cloth system
Here at Littletreehuggers, we recommend a 'two part system' that comprises of a nappy and cover. A 'two part system' will provide supreme leak protection as opposed to 'one part systems' like disposables. This is because there are TWO leakage barriers- the nappy then the cover.
In our experience, the extra 3 seconds it takes to put a cover over the nappy is worth the peace of mind and superior performance. You are able to buy 'one part systems' made from cloth, such as Pocket Nappies or All in Ones. These nappies dont require a cover as it is built in. Keep in mind though, that they may not provide as much leak protection as a 'two part system'. They are, however, a convenient option when out and about!
Please find following our recommendations to set up your perfect modern cloth nappy system.......
Nappies- How many?
Generally, we recommend a Nappy Package comprising of at least 25 nappies. You will then have enough nappies to wash every second day, and have a couple spare in case of bad weather. This is also a great option if you have 2 in nappies, ie a toddler and a newborn.
Covers- How many and what type?
PUL covers are a great day-to-day cover. Generally, PUL is 'breathable', which means air can evaporate out through the cover via microscopic holes in the fabric (our baby BeeHinds PUL covers are breathable). This helps to keep baby cooler and drier, unlike with plastic or PVC covers which are not breathable and become quite hot and uncomfortable for baby, contributing to nappy rash in many instances.
Providing they are cared for properly, your PUL covers will last quite a while and are therefore worth the extra expense for reliability, durability and the comfort factor. We recommend purchasing at LEAST 4 PUL covers per size. Ideally, 5 or 6 covers would be even better for a newborn. We recommend rotating between two covers throughout the day- one worn by baby, one airing after you've done a nappy change, one clean spare cover in case of an accident and then the other in the wash. Hence the need for at least 4 covers. It really does make life easier to have the recommended number of covers on hand- it is very frustrating when you discover that you dont have enough because they are all in the wash!
