Modern Cloth Nappies

I have been handmaking modern cloth nappies since 2019, begore I launched Cheeky Darlings. I taught myself to sew when I was pregnant with Rylinn, wanting to make her some pretty outfits and blankets. That soon turned into a cloth nappy obsession and Cheeky Darlings was created. 

I started small, just offering two types of nappy styles, this grew over the years and I now offer 5 styles/cuts as well as a variety of other items, including handmade blankets, sheets, swaddles and other accessories. 

The handmade side of my business will always remain the same. Releases will take place in my Facebook group as they always have. 

About cloth nappies:

Cloth nappies consist of a waterproof shell, made with PUL. Lined with athletic wicking jersey, which keeps the skin feeling cool and dry. Cloth nappies come with a set of inserts. These are folded inside the nappies to absorb urine and catch the poops. 

Modern cloth nappies are an amazing way to be eco conscious, simply wash and reuse. The wash routine of your cloth nappies is extremely important to maintain their longevity and to ensure not cause anaemia (urine) burns/rashes. Once you have your routine down packed, cloth nappies can become very fun (and addictive).

Cleaning cloth nappies:

 How you care for your nappies is extremely important; please ensure you follow the below instructions; and for more information please visit https://cleanclothnappies.com/

 

 

  • Please read your detergent instructions for appropriate measurements.
  • Remove solids and rinse under water, store in an open airy basket/pail.
  • Pre-wash for at least a 30 minute cycle, ideally 40-60 degrees and continue to store in an open airy basket/pail.
  • Main wash, ideally 40-60 degrees for at least a 1.5 hour wash cycle and within 2-3 days from pre-wash.

Some advantages to cloth nappies:
  • Pretty to look at. 
  • Non toxic, they don't contain any nasty chemicals than some disposable's do.
