Rectangular Nappy (‘Stick Nappy’)

1. First, fold the

nappy into

quarters.

2. Then fold the nappy into

a rectangle approx. 35–40 cm long

and 10–13 cm wide.

3. For better absorption,

insert an intermediate

flannel nappy inside the

rectangular nappy.

4. The nappy stays in place if tight cotton

underpants are worn on top of the nappy.

Hint 3.

Always place woollen nappy pants

on top of a cotton nappy, since these

help to absorb moisture. Choose either

shortlegged or long-legged nappy pants,

according to your need.

The ‘nappy package’ stays well in place if

the baby wears a woollen body on top of

the woollen pants. The body can replace

both the underpants and the undershirt.

Nappies – Which Type and When?

Triangular nappies

or

rectangular nappies

with an unfolded end can be

used with a newborn baby until the age of six months. Then, as the baby grows

and starts to crawl, it is time to move to

rectangular nappies

folded into a

stick. If the baby is big and the triangular nappy no longer “fits”, you can start

using rectangular nappies sooner.

The flannel extra nappy

can always be used

when it seems that the absorption capacity of the nappy cloth is not sufficient;

for example, when the baby is taken outdoors or is having a long nap. With a

bigger baby, the extra nappy is used at all times.
