Reusable nappies for a toddler

[Stuckinarut12]

I’m sick of filling up the landfill! I use biodegradable but I know they aren’t perfect as they get buried in landfills and therefore can’t properly biodegrade or something like that. Anyway I’ve decided I have no excuse to use disposables. So I want to use washables.

My question is- which?! The choice is mind-boggling. My kid is 2.5. I want something I can just bung in the machine but will be absorbant all night.

Which brand???

Lots of advice out there.

See if your local council do a grant.

If your child is 2.5 years then, I'd have a go at potty training, in the olden days most babies were encouraged out of nappies before they were 2. Would save a fortune.
Then for night time I'd use Motherease Sandys - the bamboo (softest and slimmest) or natural cotton (cheapest), with a Motherease Airflow wrap over the top. They're really absorbent and easily lasted us all night. Can be just bunged in the machine, you'll need to tip/sluice any poo off in the loo first.

Recommend little lambs bamboo (boosted if nec) with motherease wraps for nights. We stopped daytime reusables with ds after 1yo but used at night until he trained at nearly 4. We used motherease shaped cotton nappies with wraps before that and they were great. All in ones are the most like disposables but aren't always suitable with a heavy wetter (like ds). You can often get trial kits from the council or a local nappy group. Have a search on Facebook.

Beware though - it's addictive buying pretty ones!
