Frequently Asked Questions

How many nappies will I need?
We supply you with as many as you need but on average: up to 70 newborn, 56 small, 42 medium, 35 large nappies depending on your baby.

Will I need any booster pads for night-time?
Most babies only require the standard pre-fold nappy. However, some older babies may need a booster pad for extra absorbency.

Do we need nappy liners?
We recommend biodegradable flushable liners to keep baby drier.

Do I need to be at home when nappies are delivered?
No. Simply tie the bag and leave in a convenient place for collection.  

How many outer wraps will I need?
Most parents find 6 wraps are ample as they do not need changing at each nappy change unless they are soiled. We recommend you rent newborn and small sizes as young babies grow very quickly.

How do I care for the outer wraps?
Wraps can be gently sponged or washed following instructions on label. Close velcro fastenings and use non-biological detergent. 

I have not had my baby yet. Can I book the service in advance?
Yes. We will deliver you starter pack with one week's supply of nappies two weeks before the due date. When your baby is born, call us to arrange your first collection and delivery. If baby arrives early, we will start the service as soon as possible.
