Flat nappies
Whilst not the most convenient nappies in some
respects, flat nappies do have their advantages. Firstly they are the
most economical option to buy. It can be worth having a few just for
those "help! I've run out of nappies" moments is nothing else!
Secondly they are very quick drying, making them economical to use,
very eco-friendly and handy if you don't have or wish to use a tumble
dryer. If you were going camping for example, terry squares would be
ideal for drying on your guy ropes! Finally they are very versatile:
they can be folded to suit different needs and are handy for lots of
things other than nappies, such as mopping up accidents or spills, folded
into a pad and used to stuff pocket nappies or as a booster for shaped
nappies, an extra-large bib... the list is endless.
The main downside to flat nappies is that folding
can take a little practice and patience, though it's not rocket-science!
Most of our mothers managed it successfully. They are however, the most
fiddly to put on and so are not ideal for wriggly toddlers (unless you're
an expert) or for people endowed with less patience! Nappi Nippas do
make fixing them in place much easier and safer than pins, but flat
nappies probably wouldn't be first choice if other people are looking
after your baby. Your mother may become nostalgic as she folds a terry
square again or she may think you are completely mad and buy you a pack
of disposables!

Muslins from Little Ewe
Multipurpose soft, absorbent muslin
squares
There are so many uses for these high quality square muslins. They are
popular for use as newborn nappies, because newborns need changing so
frequently and muslins dry so quickly, allowing a quick laundry turnaround
time. They can be folded like a terry square and fastened with a Nappi
Nippa or folded into a rectangular pad and held in place with a gussetted
wrap such as the Rikki wrap or Size 0 fleece Red Rap. They can also
be used as burp cloths and for all sorts of clean-ups. Later, when your
baby is bigger they can be used folded into a pad as boosting for shaped
or pocket nappies. Available in natural unbleached colour. Size 80 x
80cm.
