how many nappies per child?

I would suggest starting with 20 nappies and then adding more if you feel there are not enough. A newborn baby uses 10 to 12 nappies a day and as baby grows it will use less, averaging at eight a day.

As one of the main reasons for using cloth nappies is to lessen the impact on the environment, we would recommend that you dry your nappies on a washing line. However, cloth nappies don't take long to dry. A manufacturer may use a deep pile terry fabric which dries as fast as a bath towel, or will incorporate a design that allows the nappy to be opened up when drying.

Having too few nappies may result in your not having a dry nappy for the next/immediate change.
