WHY CLOTH DIAPERS ARE GOOD FOR BABIES?
Cloth diapers provide ease of use, comfort and produce the least amount
of waste possible.
Disposable diapers are a huge contributor of landfills. Using cloth
also translates into savings for you as cloth is more economical in the
long run.
WHY ORGANIC?
We really believe in the importance of using
natural organic products for babies. Babies are so sensitive and their
skin absorbs whatever is next to it. Certified Organic cotton diapers
are produced without the use of pesticides or toxic dyes. They are kind
and gentle for a baby as he or she adjusts to life outside the womb!
The benefits of Organic cotton are endless, no apparel related health
risks for your baby, Biodiversity encourages a healthier eco system and
soil fertility and lastly true economy.
DOES IT LEAK ? ARE COVERS NEEDED?
With this Organic diapering system, you should be
experiencing almost no leakage. However, if you are experiencing
leaking problems, it is usually due to an improper fit. You should also
wash your new diapers in warm water to remove then natural oils of
Organic cotton, this procedure will also increase absorbency.
We suggest using diaper covers for older children and for over nights to avoid leakage.
WOOL VERSUS COTTON COVERS?
Of course this is an individual preference. There are many
advantages to the wool cover although initially more expensive,
justified by less to buy and more use prior to needing washing. Because
the lanolin found in wool is naturally water repellent wool covers do
not need as much washing. A simple rinse and air dry and its ready to
use again.
WASHING
1. Dispose of soil in toilet then rinse diaper.
2. Collect soiled or wet diapers in a plastic pail without liquid.
3. If the diapers are very soiled run the diapers through a cold
wash/cold pre-soak cycle these settings are available on most machines
today. For optimum cleanliness wash only about 2 dozen diapers in an
average load.
4. Then, use HOT wash and COLD rinse cycle with HIGH water level.
If rashes are a problem try a double RINSE cycle to remove
soap/detergent residues. Use a mild soap or detergent without
Phosphates and a minimum of additives.
5. Tumble dry on LOW HEAT or air dry in direct sunlight.
HOW MANY DIAPERS DO I NEED ?
The number of diapers you need depends on the age of your baby
and how often you plan to wash diapers. If you have a heavy wetter you
can also use a doubler. Below is a guide you can use for reference.
