Are these nappies suitable for newborns?
Yes – Waladi Newborn Starter Sets are made for babies from around 3.5kg+. Each set includes one adjustable pocket cloth nappy and one 3-layer microfibre insert.
The nappy itself is one size fits most, not a newborn-only nappy. You can adjust the snaps for a smaller fit in the newborn stage, then keep using the same nappy as your baby grows.
Why this set uses a microfibre insert
Newborns are changed often, so they usually do not need the bulkiest insert setup straight away. The microfibre insert gives fast absorption for regular daytime changes while helping keep the nappy simple and less bulky.
- Good for regular newborn daytime changes
- Lighter than a bigger insert setup
- Easy starting point if you are new to cloth nappies
If your baby is a heavy wetter, sleeping longer stretches, or needing more absorbency, you can add another insert or choose a different set.
Which cloth nappy set should I choose?
Choose based on how much absorbency you need and how you plan to use cloth nappies.
- Newborn Starter Sets – best for starting cloth from around 3.5kg+ with regular daytime changes.
- Everyday Sets – best for simple everyday use with a 5-layer charcoal bamboo insert.
- Overnight Sets – best for heavy wetters, naps, or overnight use with extra absorbency.
Why choose Waladi Newborn Starter Sets?
- Simple nappy + insert setup with no guesswork
- Adjustable fit from approx. 3.5kg to 15kg
- Double gussets to help reduce leaks around the legs
- Reusable value because the nappy grows with your baby
How many newborn cloth nappies do I need?
It depends on whether you want to use cloth full time or part time. If you are new to reusable nappies, start with a small number, test the fit and absorbency, then build your stash once you know what works for your baby.
