Mini Matters Nappy PUL Cover – Printed (Newborn)

Description

Mini Matters MINI Waterproof PUL Covers were designed with small and petite babies in mind.  They can fit newborn babies up to approximately 8kgs in size.

They are roomy and stretchy to fit perfectly over both day and nighttime nappies. The covers close with a double row of snaps to increase their size adjustability to fit your baby perfectly. Wide elastic casings ensure a gentle, comfortable but snug fit to prevent leaks and blow-outs.

Why use reusable cloth nappies instead of disposable nappies? Because:

• Cloth made from natural fibres such as cotton, hemp or bamboo are breathable and free from chemicals found in disposables, i.e. healthier for your baby’s skin, leading to fewer rashes, skin irritations and tears
• It’s reusable, i.e. more cost-effective than disposables in the long run (do the maths how many disposable nappies a baby needs in total, compared to a few full-time reusable nappies in total)
• Because it’s reusable and biodegradable, it is more environmentally friendly (a disposable nappy takes 450 years to break down… do the maths on how many disposable nappies are trashed for a single baby… that’s a lot of single-use trash that literally takes centuries to decompose! A cloth nappy takes 6 months to decompose in a hot compost pile at home)
• Because Mini Matters cloth nappies are durable, popular and highly prized, it also has great resell value on the second-hand market for mums looking to save.

Directions for use:

On the bum:

See the product images for illustration.

1. Option 1: Use a fitted nappy as insert – fold the fitted nappy around baby and secure in place with the velcro snap
2. Option 2: Use a flat nappy as insert – fold the flat nappy in a triangle or pad-fold it, wrap around baby and secure in place with a Snappi
3. Optionally add a booster (for extra absorbency) or a suedecloth liner (for easier cleaning of solids)
4. Put the nappy shell / cover on baby, adjusting the outside studs to fit your baby’s body size
5. When it’s time for a nappy change, remove the inner, wipe down the cover if necessary and put on a clean inner, then put on the cover again.
6. You can use the cover about 3 times this way before changing to a new one.

Note:

Not recommended for nighttime use – rather use the Mini Matters softshell covers for nighttime.

Washing:

Nappies can be washed by hand or by machine. No need to soak nappies. Simply shake off excess solids into the toilet and leave them in your dry bucket until wash day. The most effective washing routine includes:

1. Rinse cycle
2. Wash on 30 to 40 degrees (a cold wash works just as well) using detergent of your choice
3. Rinse again.

You might need to do an additional rinse if there is still some detergent or soap in the water. Fabric softener should never be used when washing your nappies. Line dry only, with laminated side out of direct sunlight – do not use washing pegs and do not tumble dry, as it may damage the waterproofing.

Bum cream:

Cloth nappies are much healthier than disposables and will lead to fewer nappy rashes; however, it can still occur. Avoid using conventional bum creams, barrier creams or petroleum jellies. The artificial and non-biodegradable chemicals affect the absorbency of your nappy and can cause build­-up on the fibres, reducing the nappy’s efficiency.  Instead, use coconut oil (that is naturally anti-bacterial), or a cloth friendly product like Simply Bee Baby Bum Balm, if you feel the need to use something.
