Cloth Nappy Information
Choosing or converting to cloth nappies can be quite daunting initially - so we hope we can make it easier for you by answering some of the more popular questions.
If you are completely new to cloth or are completely overwhelmed, have a look at the information below. It should help you work out what sort of cloth nappies will work for you and your baby. Remember that we also hold Nappy Parties and Cloth Nappy Workshops/Information Sessions around Melbourne if you would like to see and touch nappies in real life.
