Real Nappy Week – the halfway point!

So we’re just over half way through real nappy week and I wanted to do a little update on our progress. We’ve used all the nappies at least twice now!

  • There is still a lot of terminology I don’t know, however when you actually have the nappies in front of you it’s pretty obvious how they work and i’m not sure what I was panicking about
  • The Nappy bin smells like a petting zoo when it is open (no scent when closed). I have mastered the art of lid off – nappy in – lid shut as fast as possible. The bin in also NOT Athena-proof.
  • Wearing a reusable nappy doesn’t affect how long Athena sleeps for over night, she managed 13.5 hours in a little lamb cotton nappy with a wrap over the top
  • I wish we had an outside so I could pop the nappies on the line to dry. Some take a long time to dry!
  • Velcro fasteners are better for getting a close fit, but poppers aren’t as easily undone by little hands
  • My washing machine does not know what’s hit it!
  • Athena seems to do more #2’s that she did before (it used to be one a day, now it’s more like 2 or 3!) but i’m not sure how I can associate this with cloth nappies, I think she’s doing it to spite me now I have to get the poop in the toilet!

  1. If you haven’t already acquired one can I recommend a dishwasher safe cheapy plastic spatula – use it to scrape the poopy nappies before you pop them in the nappy bin and then the spatula can go in the wash with them all – also a drop or two of tea tree or lavender oil helps with the petting zoo issues!! Good luck!
