Check every 2-3 hours if the nappy needs to be changed. At night, if you add extra absorbency, your baby can stay in the same nappy for 10 hours and sometimes more (unless they poo). If your baby has done a wee during the day, but the nappy is still dry, you can get away with only changing the inserts. If the nappy is soaked or your baby has done a poo, you need to change the nappy as soon as possible. There is no need to take the insert out of the nappy before adding it to the dry pail. Just add it to the pail and get the insert out of the nappy after you have ran a spin cycle in the washing machine. This way you keep your hands clean. The liner needs to be disposed of in rubbish when bub has done a poo but can be washed and reused if your baby has only done a wee. Please be aware that the liners are biodegradable and can only be reused a limited amount of time.

While it may feel overwhelming at first, cleaning cloth nappies is easy— no soaking or scrubbing is required. By following these instructions, you will help preserve the quality and extend the life of your Happy Naps. Step 1 Take the liner out of the nappy and dispose of it in rubbish or, if not using a liner, ‘empty’ the nappy in the toilet. Put nappy with insert in a dry pail lined with a wetbag. Please do not soak the nappies; dry-pailing is better for your nappies. To make the nappy bucket smell nicer: soak a muslin in some water with a couple of drops lavender essential oil, wring the muslin out loosely and then leave it over the top of your nappies – as you add additional nappies, place them underneath this cover. Step 2 Run a rinse cycle on COLD temperature with half a scoop laundry-powder and Blue Biotex. A rinse cycle is better than a prewash as modern machines are so water efficient; they often reuse water from a prewash whereas rinse cycle water is always fully drained away. Step 3 Now, take the inserts out of the pocket. Wash the nappies and inserts on a long cycle (max. 60 degrees, 1200 revs) and add a full scoop laundry- powder into the drum. Add cloths or towels until the machine is 3⁄4 full, just be careful with metal zippers and sharp items. If your washing machine does not use enough water, it helps to add a wet towel to the washing load. When your nappies come out of the machine your nappies should smell of nothing. If you can still smell detergent, you have used too much. If they do smell unclean after washing, they have not been washed long enough, the wrong dose of detergent has been used, the washing load has been too big, or your machine needs a maintenance cycle run. If you are not sure about your detergent, please check with us. Step 4 Air dry the nappies and inserts. Never place the nappies on a radiator, just hang to dry over two clotheslines and make sure the elastics do not stretch out too much. You can also tumble dry the inserts on low to medium heat together with a dry towel to speed up drying time. If you use your nappies during the night, you may notice they can get smellier than daytime nappies. It helps to hand rinse the used night nappy in warm water with a tiny bit of laundry detergent before you add the nappy to the dry pail. Make sure not to keep dirty nappies in here for longer than two days to prevent ammonia build-up.

Happy Naps are adjustable and made to fit all babies between 3.5 and 16kg.

Inserts are a must! A nappy is not complete without an insert, because inserts are the absorbing part of the nappy. Liners are not essential, but they do make cleaning a number two a lot easier, so try Then we also have some accessories that we think you will love! - Wetbags: A waterproof bag with two departments to store clean and dirty nappies.

Inserts absorb the wee and go in the pocket of the nappy. Happy Naps have an inner layer made of a moisture wicking fabric called microfleece. Our inserts are made of natural fabrics and get very wet, by placing them in the pocket under a layer of microfleece, the bum will stay dry (without the chemicals find in disposables). To have the inserts separate from the nappy, the change on any dirt build-up is very little. The nappies come like dry out of the washing machine, so you can reuse them again very soon. If leaks occur and the inserts are soaked, you need to add an extra insert in the pocket for extra absorption. Always place the most absorbing insert (hemp is more absorbent than bamboo) on the bottom. Combining different inserts works best, because bamboo absorbs the wee faster than hemp, but hemp holds it for longer. It is easiest to always change the entire nappy. If the nappy is dry, you can choose to only change the inserts only. Want to keep your hands clean? Change the entire nappy and take the inserts out of the nappy after you have ran a pre cycle in the washing machine.
