A stack of ecoBumba nappies for a custom order, now awaiting pick up

I loved making these nappies.

Knowing the intended receipient sure makes it all the more personal: the baby in question is due any day now.

This nappy is designed to grow with your baby.

These nappies have been in the design and testing process for 6 months now.

From feedback from testers and from testing on my own baby, I’ve come to these conclusions:

- The nappy fits from approximately 3.5 kg to about 15kg.

- Babies (especially boys) with a more solid build than the average baby may grow out of  these nappies earlier, even if they fall within the weight range. To solve this problem, I have developed a larger OSFM version that would fit to a bigger child. This is still under development.

- The nappy fits a bit lower in the front, which may or may not be a problem for some babies and some boys. Some mums prefer fuller coverage and would prefer the large OSFM.

- The nappy is able to last all night without leaking for all test babies, using both inserts.

- The leg holes are ample enough for most babies and toddlers (except the cuddliest ones!)

Two inserts are included with every ecoBumba nappy purchase. Long insert on top, short insert at the bottom.

Two 2-layer bamboo inserts are included with each nappy. One long insert (which you can fold into thirds) and one shorter insert. This order had inserts trimmed with blue thread to match with the overall colours of the order.

I used to include an even shorter 3-layer insert (for infants and as a booster) instead of the current 2-layer one, but feedback showed that the 3 layer insert was not enough to keep little infants/newborns dry.

So the new short insert is longer than the old short insert (am I confusing you yet? ), allowing carers to fold it over to make 4 layers over bamboo.

And yes, you get and extra layer of boosting for night time now too! or 6 layers if you fold into thirds (great for stuffing the front of a nappy for little boys).

Now that the customs are all done, I can start making some ecoBumba instock nappies.

As these nappies take a bit longer to prep and sew compared to Bubba J nappies, they will not be stocked as quickly as I imagine them to be. Please bear with me as I get them up in the store over the coming weeks
