Yes, BUT diaper creams are designed to create a waterproof barrier for your little one, so guess what? They can do the same to our cloth diapers. Many brands contain ingredients that are difficult to remove from cloth diapers and create absorbancy issues over time. Therefore it’s important to choose a cloth diaper safe diaper cream.

Go ahead, smell them! When cloth diapers have been adequately cleaned, they should be odorless. We have a rigorous cloth diaper wash routine, so rest assured, that they are clean. Remember that we do our best to remove all stains, but some staining is normal and does not mean the diaper is unsanitary or ruined. Diapers with excessive staining are removed from circulation.

Teddybum’s diapers are designed to fit from newborn to toddler, and it’s never too late to start. If your child is still wearing diapers, he/she is not too old for cloth diapers.

Teddybum provides a wet bag for your cloth diapers. We recommend adding roughly a cup of white vinegar to the bag to ensure to help prevent bacteria.

This is one of those places where the answer is “it depends”. Each daycare has its own policies when it comes to cloth diapers. If you have a chance speak with the owner or manager to learn their guidelines and preferences. Our pocket diapers aren’t really that much different than disposable diapers so they should be easy for your daycare to adapt. To make is easier for them, provide a wet-dry bag for them to store the dirty diapers in, and if necessary consider offering to remove the solids at home to make the process more consistent with their disposable diaper routine. This will alleviate any concerns your daycare staff may have.

Of course! And with Teddybum to back you up it means that more diapers doesn’t mean more laundry for you. We even offer a 15% multi-kid discount to help you save more money when using our cloth diaper services.

The pocket diaper fabric includes a charcoal bamboo liner with a TPU shell, while our inserts are made up of 4 layers - 2 exteriod cotton layers to protect your babys skin, with 2 hemp layers inside for increased absorption.

If you’re buying your own cloth diapers, most people suggest between 24-36 diapers and inserts for newborns and then 12-24 diapers for older infants. This assumes you’re ready to wash diapers every 2-3 days - washing daily means you could do with fewer diapers. We supply 80 diapers a week for newborns and 60 for larger infants ensuring that you have more than enough diapers to get you through the whole week.

It depends. If you’re buying your cloth diapers, then there are one-size-fits-all diapers designed to grow with your baby from 10lbs to potty training time.

As your child grows, simply let us know you’re ready for the next size and we’ll have them ready for you on your next order.

Diaper cloth fabric comes in many forms. TPU and PUL are the polyester materials that make the waterproof outer shell of many cloth diapers. The difference is in the way that they are manufactured: PUL (Polyurethane Laminate) is laminated using solvents through a chemical bonding process, while TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is bonded to polyester using heat bonding (as opposed to solvents), therefore using less harsh chemicals in the process.
