Can I put a cloth nappy over a regular nappy?

Shouldn't be an issue. Feel free to message me if you want any advice/pointers to information about cloth nappies though. My first went into them around 4ish weeks and my 2nd has never worn a disposable nappy 😊 generally you don't get blowouts, sometimes leaks when the fit/nappy type isn't right but once you've found the nappy that suits your little one, leaks are seldom x
@Sandie right?! I was just concerned about breathability with the double layer of two absorbent materials, but also i thought nappies in general are also fairly breathable as a rule as well…excited to do this now!
Should be fine! I use cloth nappies with my little one. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but now it’s second nature. There are Facebook groups for helping you learn how to get the right fit, combination of inserts etc. But if you just want someone to talk you through it feel free it drop me a message if you want some starting tips, if you decide to take the plunge!
Depending on age, I’m not sure it would be recommended - simply because the extra bulk from wearing two could restrict movement? Unless it’s just a wrap you’re putting on on top of the disposable? I’d either just wear the cloth nappy or put short on top of the disposable tbh
@V this is probably true so it’s worth OP checking with a health visitor or doctor… when I was a baby in the 80s I had a dodgy hip and the advice to stabilise it was to put me in double (cloth) nappies. As a result I never crawled because my bum was too big! Went straight to walking early though so I guess it didn’t hurt me lol
@V good point, I haven’t thoroughly checked my cloth nappies yet but I wouldn’t be looking to use any of the pads or anything. It’d purely just be so I’m not holding onto just the nappy when I’m holding her and so her nappy isn’t constantly on display (as the dresses ride up a bit)
That sounds adorable! It would be like wearing shorts under her dress 😁 🤔 I don't see why it would be an issue 🤔
