using the nappies

Using Honey Child Nappies

Place the inserts in the pocket between the outer leak proof layer and the inner stay dry fleece. This is best achieved by using the same method you use to put a duvet or pillow into its case. On a flat surface place your hand inside the nappy to flatten out the insert, pushing it to the edges of the nappy.

FYI for the "Poo-phobic". There is no "Double Handing" with our nappies. When removing a soiled nappy unsnap the domes and clean your baby's bottom. Pull the nappy out from under baby and fold shut. Put aside while snapping on a fresh nappy. Once baby is secure take the nappy and, if just wet, shake the inserts out into your bucket or bag and then drop in the outer part. If dirty, empty the poo into the toilet. If your child is in childcare or when out and about you might want to use a flushable nappy liner which captures the poo and drops easily into the toilet.  Any remnants will come off in the wash. If you are worried about staining you can rinse the nappy then lay it in the nappy bucket until you're ready to wash.

Absorbency Layers

There are two insert types for your nappies. These are the normal inserts and the nappy boosters. If your child poos regularly throughout the day or has had nappy rash then they may need to be changed more regularly and one insert will probably be adequate - approximately 2+ hours protection. If your child poos infrequently and hasn't had any types of rashes, then an insert plus a booster will most likely give you adequate absorbency for a more extended length of time - approximately 3+ hours protection.

For night-time it is recommended that you use two inserts unless you have a child who doesn’t wet much at night. A child who feeds or drinks a lot at night might need two inserts and a booster or three inserts. Trial different absorbencies to answer the questions you might have about your own child’s absorbency needs. Children vary greatly in their needs. At nighttime it is recommended that you do not use singlets or pyjamas that may accidently tuck into the nappy. It is better to use wool or fleece to prevent "wicking" caused by cotton clothing getting stuck into the nappy.
