Nappy sizes and Recommended quantities

A baby on average will use the size 1 nappies with newborn and small covers until they are approximately 4-6 months old. You will then move on to size 2 nappies and the medium and large covers, this will often be enough up to potty training.

• 24 nappies size 1
  A newborn baby will need a nappy change approximately 7/8 times in 24 hours. With 24 nappies you will need to wash every third day when you have a full load for the machine. Having fewer nappies and washing more often can be inconvenient and is not cost effective.
• 24 nappies size 2
  When the baby goes into this size nappy, you will be changing less often. Use the size 1 nappy folded inside the size 2 nappy to boost the absorbency at night time when the baby gets the top end of this size range.
• miosoft covers
  Between 3-5 covers of one size are required. Occasionally more covers may be required when the baby is small and you are changing frequently.
• mioliners
  1 pack of biodegradable liners contains 200 sheets, enough for approx 1 month of changes.
• Twins
  Twins do not need double the amount of nappies, 36 of each size should be enough. 1 BTP plus 1 newborn nappy set and 1 medium nappy set. Or as a start 3 NB nappy sets.
