Are Washables Better for Your Baby?
There are several benefits for your baby when using washable nappies:
* Nappy rash occurs if your baby is not changed often enough. There is always the temptation with disposables to keep your baby in them for a long time because they feel dry as the gel in the nappy absorbs liquids. Re-usable nappies are soft, cotton and breathable, which helps to prevent nappy rash.
* A baby using washable nappies is more likely to potty train earlier and have better bladder control. This is because your toddler will feel wet in their cloth nappies and therefore associate weeing with the wetness they feel in their nappy. Babies in disposables don't make this association as the gel in the nappy absorbs the liquids.
* Most parents find real nappies are less likely to leak than disposables as different styles and ways of folding can be tried for a better fit.
* There is a very great feeling of satisfaction in knowing that your baby is getting the best in nappy care and that you are involved in this part of their world.
