📘 Z is for Zero Waste Goals ♻️ Cloth nappies aren't just cute they're a powerful step toward a zero-waste lifestyle. 🌏✨ Every disposable nappy takes up to 500 years to decompose. ✔️ Less waste ✔️ Fewer toxins ✔️ Big long-term savings ✔️ A cleaner planet for our little ones

🟡 A–Z of Cloth Nappies: Y is for Yellow Stains ☀️💩** Let’s talk about those stains. They're completely normal, totally common, and definitely nothing to panic about! ☀️ The magic trick? SUNSHINE! Lay your clean, stained nappies in the sun (even in a window) #ClothNappies

🌱✨ Cloth nappies may seem like an upfront investment, but they can save you hundreds of euros in the long run, in fact up to €500 per year! Who doesn't want that in their pocket? 💸 👛 Why not start with an affordable loan so you can try different nappy solutions #EcoBaby

🧷 A–Z of Cloth Nappies: W is for… WET BAG! 👜 Your cloth nappy sidekick — the super wet bag! 💪 Whether you’re out and about or at home, a wet bag is a must-have. Store the used nappies, smell free, until wash day. ✔️ Waterproof ✔️ Reusable ✔️ Smell-controlling #ClothNappy

T is for Training Pants ⠀ Training pants are the perfect in-between! Designed for little ones learning the ropes, they offer a bit of absorbency just in case — while still giving that "big kid" underwear feel. 👏 buff.ly/kDZnPDN ⠀ #PlasticFreeJuly

🌿 A–Z of Cloth Nappies: S is for… SNAPS! 🍼 Snaps are the trusty little fasteners that keep your baby's nappy snug and secure. Unlike Velcro, they’re durable, toddler-proof, and won’t lose stick over time! #ClothNappies #ReusableNappies #ModernClothNappies #PlasticFreeJuly

🍼 A–Z of Cloth Nappies: R is for… RISE! 🌱 🔹 Usually found on birth to potty nappies 🔹 Adjusting the snaps changes the length of the nappy to fit different ages 🔹 Helps get a better fit around the legs to prevent leaks 🔹 Saves you €€ because nappy can grow with your baby

Q is for… Quicker than you think! ☀️💨 What dries quickly? Microfibre Flat nappies & prefolds All-in-two systems Shells without absorbent layers Tips for faster drying Dry in sunlight for natural antibacterial & stain removal power ☀️ Separate inserts #ClothNappies

A–Z of Cloth Nappies: P is for Pocket Nappies! Pocket nappies are one of the most popular cloth nappy styles. These clever nappies have a pocket between the waterproof outer layer and a soft stay-dry inner lining, where you stuff absorbent inserts. #ClothNappies #PocketNappies

🍼 A–Z of Cloth Nappies: N is for Nappy Cream 🧴 Look for cloth-safe nappy creams—these are usually: ✅ Zinc-free or low-zinc ✅ Free from petroleum/mineral oils ✅ Made with natural, breathable ingredients (like shea butter, coconut oil, calendula) #ClothnappyAtoZ #Clothnappy

A–Z of Cloth Nappies: O is for… OVERNIGHT! 🌙 Popular combos: –Fitted nappy + PUL or wool cover –Pocket nappy with extra hemp + bamboo inserts 💦 CNLI has a night time loan and a bed-wetting loan (for older children) available to let you try the different options #NightNappy

🍼 A–Z of Cloth Nappies M is for Microfiber 🌟 ✨ Pros: ✔️ Fast-drying ✔️ Affordable ✔️ Easy to find 🛑 Cons: ❌ Can compress leading to leaks (not for naps or car journeys) ❌ Not skin-safe on its own #ClothNappies #EcoParenting #SustainableParenting #ClothNappyTips

👶 We spoke to one of our cloth mums and volunteer - Franca. 🤰 After our baby arrived, my husband was shocked by the mountain of waste disposable nappies created daily. We decided to give cloth nappies a try through a cloth nappy library loan, and it was a game-changer for us!

📚 A–Z of Cloth Nappies: L is for Liners! 💧 There are two main types of liners: 🧻 Disposable Liners – Simply lift and toss! ♻️ Reusable Liners – Made from fleece or bamboo, they protect your nappy and help keep baby’s bum dry. #ClothNappies #ClothNappyLove #ReusableNappies
