Our new cloth nappies {The Ordinary Moments 15} #2
So I wrote a post a little while ago about wanting to switch to Cloth nappies. After lots of research and recommends from some lovely bloggers, we took the plunge! We ordered our nappies with Baba & Boo and they arrived this week!
It has been a few days of using them now and I am honestly so happy we have switched to cloth…I don’t know why we didn’t do it sooner! In a way, it already feels like we have been using them forever!
First of all, and of course most importantly, Arthur seems really really comfy and happy in them. This was the main reason we wanted them. We’ve has problems with disposables for a while now due to the heat, so we are so happy that the switch seems to be helping! We went down to the beach to have a little run around, they even appear to be splash proof!!!!
Second of all, he looks ridiculously cute in them!
Thirdly, we don’t need to worry about whether or not we will be able to get the disposables we want (it has been an issue for us here!)
And lastly, they are not scary, at all!! They are super easy to use and to wash. I was honestly a bit scared about dealing with a dirty one but it’s totally fine, really!! We’ve even done over night, and no leaks (phew!).
As regular readers of my blog will know, Arthur pretty much lives in just a nappy and so I’m so happy that now he will be in these little beauties instead of just normal disposables! I love our new cloth nappies!!!
This is definitely a very ordinary moment, because let’s be honest, we are talking about nappies here!!! But, at the same time I think it is going to make a huge difference to us!!

I think taking reusable nappies is such a great tip for anyone moving to countries where it’s either hard or very expensive to buy disposables. We took about a year’s worth of nappies with us to St Lucia, but can’t for the life of me think why we didn’t just take reusables! Also remember it’s a lot easier to potty train in a hot climate where they only have their nappies to deal with and not several layers of clothing. Plus it’s easier to deal with the inevitable accidents when they’re usually outside or at least not on carpets!
I was so tempted to get re-usable nappies when I had Moo and H, but I just couldn’t go through with it.. I am not good with Poo! I love your photos and as I am looking outside to a very grey morning, I am extremely jealous you get to wake up to this gorgeous outlook everyday!!

When O was a baby I was terrified by the thought of cloth nappies, but I think I’d be a lot happier to try them if we ever have another. Arthur looks so cute running around in his. xx

You are forgetting the most important reason! Especially as you are living on a small island….It is WAY better for the environment… less waste to throw away 🙂 I love cloth diapers and have had Avani in them since birth, except when traveling. She is starting to ask to use the bathroom now so i look forward to no diapers soon!
This may be a post about nappies, but oh my your little one looks so adorable and he looks so happy. I’m glad these are much better for you. Such a brilliant recommendation for cloth nappies and baba & boo too 🙂

Ah that’s fab! So pleased to hear they are working so well for you! I am intrigued by cloth nappies I have to admit, as less rubbish and better for the environment, but I have never fancied the washing of them! Am glad to hear it is not as bad as you thought though! Xx

I love the look of a cloth nappy – I tried to give cloth a go but I really didn’t get on with it – such a shame 🙁
Arthur looks so cute in his new nappies! We love using cloth and find it works really well with part-time elimination communication too which has helped keep the washing loads down a little bit for us. Just wish the weather here was as reliably sunny for drying them!

Yay! So glad you like them. They really aren’t that much hassle to deal with are they? And Arthur does look amazingly cute. Toby’s cute cloth bum is always covered up over here!

How cute is he!? He looks like Jungle Book or something, a proper nature baby!! Cloth will be so much easier for you guys, especially if you have another baby – I know you’ve said before that nappies aren’t very common in the shops and you have to just have whatever make there is rather than the ones you like. You’ll get addicted to buying the different designs 🙂 x

These nappies look so cute. He really doesn’t seem to need anything else on the beach.
But what do you when he goes in the water, either pool or sea? Change to swim nappies?
Usually when I take him to to the beach or the pool I put him in UV swim wear to make sure he’s fully sun protected but he was definitely happy in just his nappy (and sun cream of course) but yeah would need to be changed from that for swimming 🙂
My god, you are living in complete paradise, your photos make me so happy. What a beautiful view you have. Such lovely photos of Arthur too, especially him wearing his cute little cloth nappies. Good on you taking the plunge. x

I love re-useable nappies! Great that they are working out for you – and they look so cute too!

So glad they are working out. I love that Giraffe print – I would love some snazzy wraps for ours but third baby in and she gets the washed out stars and cows!

Oh wow – Arthur looks like a mini Tarzan in his little panties – so adorable. Great to have an alternative option to nappies too. Paradise is looking as gorgeous as ever x Ax

Haha he totally does 🙂
Thank you lovely xx
So glad you’re getting on well with these, and like you say, I bet they’re so much nicer to wear in hot weather! If we ever have another baby I’d seriously consider using cloth nappies x

Thanks lovely! Yeah I would definitely recommend to everyone!!! X
Hurrah! He looks so adorable in them!
So glad they’re working out for you. It is scary taking the plunge but once you get in the routine it really is easy. I hope you don’t mind me linking to it here, but I wrote a post last year on how to make the most out of a cloth nappy stash: http://www.pastaandpatchwork.com/home/crackers-for-cloth-ii-making-your-cloth-nappies-work-for-you

Don’t mind at all lovely, I’ll check it out 🙂
It was definitely scary but we are so pleased and it really is so much easier then I thought it would be!!! Xx
Those are so cute. I remember my daughter spending a lot of time just in nappies when we visited The Seychelles, and those disposable nappies make it seem like he’s wearing cute shorts instead of nappies.

Oh look at your gorgeous beach baby- such lovely photos and I love the nappy designs. I have never thought about cloth nappies, it just isn’t for me and I don’t know why really as lots of friends have used them and say they are great. x

Thanks lovely!!! Yes I can totally see why they wouldn’t be for everyone, I think if you weren’t totally all for it, it wouldn’t work out!! But I have to agree they definitely are cute 🙂 xx
