Little Lamb Organic Cotton nappies are made of organic cotton and were introduced due to demand from parents and are manufactured from certified GOTS organic yarn. They are cream, soft and very absorbent. Many nappy manufacturers have been moving away from cotton in the last few years as bamboo fabric is more absorbent. However cotton is still ideal for nappies and has been used for many generations cotton is also far quicker drying than bamboo. The only drawback to cotton nappies is that the cotton will go harder over time like bathroom towels if they aren’t occasionally tumble dried to 'fluff' them up.
The soft liner inside the nappy will always keep the layer next to babies skin soft though so don’t let this put you off. Little Lambs are also a fantastic price for a sized nappy system. Little Lamb nappies are also available in bamboo or microfibre. Like all Little Lamb nappies the cotton is knitted onto the nappy base rather than weaved| to ensure it doesn’t shrink.
All Little Lamb nappies fasten with Velcro making them extremely simple to use. The tabs on all the Little Lambs have a crossover tab at the waist so the nappy can be made a tighter fit for a smaller baby.
There are laundry tabs inside each nappy which are designed to secure the tabs before the nappy goes into the bucket or washing machine. This prevents the velcro picking up fluff in the washing machine and makes the velcro long lasting.
The fit of the Little Lambs has been altered and offers a fantastic fitting nappy. The leg is tight enough to prevent leaks but not too tight to create any chaffing. They use the softest elastic that is gentle on baby’s skin but is robust enough to last. The waist is also elasticated to help contain any explosions.
Little Lamb Cotton currently comes in two sizes. Size 1 fits 7-18lbs and Size 2 fits 18-35lbs. Each nappy comes with a double layer cotton booster to increase absorbency further. This is loose in the size 1 nappy so the nappy can be made slimmer for a newborn but the booster is sewn into the size 2. This booster is an integral part of the nappy and you will need an additional booster for night time. The Little Lamb cotton comes with a fleece liner so you don’t need to buy fleece liners separately. You can of course use disposables paper liners instead if you prefer.
The Little Lamb nappy is an average length nappy and if your baby is tall or has the potential to be tall, this might not be the nappy for you unless you’re happy that you might have to buy all three sizes (size 3 available in bamboo).
Size 1 fits babies from around 7lbs - 20lbs (3kgs - 9kgs)
The size 2 fits babies from around 20lbs-38lbs (9kgs -17kgs)
*Please note that while the main fabric is organic cotton there will be some polyester content due to fabric weave, elastics and velcro tabs. The free fleece liner that comes with each nappy can be left out and paper liners used if you prefer.
