You will need around 20-24 cloth nappies if you plan to wash every 2-3 days. Keep in mind that the exact number may vary based on your washing routine and how frequently you plan to do laundry.

We include washing instructions with every nappy purchase, but here is an outline.Start by rinsing any solid waste off the nappies into the toilet. Then, store the nappies in a dry pail until you're ready to wash them. When it's time to launder, run a pre-wash rinse cycle to remove any remaining solid waste and prevent stains from setting. Next, wash the nappies in a hot water cycle with a gentle, cloth-friendly detergent; remember you are washing heavily soiled clothes. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the detergent. Finally, hang the nappies to dry or tumble dry on a low setting. Remember, never use fabric softeners or dryer sheets with cloth nappies, as they can affect absorbency.
