Cloth Nappies

Cloth Nappies have stood the test of time and dates back into the decades, cloth nappies are coming back to India in a modern and scientifically improved version. Also when environmental concerns are at the forefront of our thinking, cloth nappies can make even more sense.

Cloth nappies have entered India with award winning designs, durable and soft material with a variety of colors from bumGenius. If you want to give cloth nappies a try, but are worried about changing cloth nappies or the washing work involved, here's all you need to know to help you get started:

A modern cloth nappy has three layers:

The liner: This is a soft fabric usually made of suede or organic, which sits next to the baby's skin.  In stay dry diapers this is the layer that keeps the baby dry.

The nappy: This is the absorbent part of the diaper and is usually made of highly absorbent microfiber or multiple layers of cotton.

The cover: This outer layer is water resistant made of fabric with a laminate to keeps your baby's clothing dry even with the heaviest wetter.

Cloth Nappy Covers

The cloth nappy cover is the outermost layer of a nappy and this is what prevents the moisture in the nappy leaking out.  bumGenius cloth nappies provide good quality covers and make the cloth nappy system work to the best efficiency.

Modern Cloth Nappies

Modern cloth nappies have come a long way since the days of the terry toweling squares and safety pins.  Now the modern cloth nappies come in a wide range of materials, colors, sizes and styles to suit all babies and budgets and the best part is, they are simple to use, adjustable, leak-proof and they care for the baby and the environment. Modern cloth nappies are more convenient and easier to use with the hook and loop fasteners than traditional square cloth nappies that require sharp diaper pins.  Modern cloth nappies from bumGenius come in a variety of award winning designs and give a tailored and simpler to use design than traditional cloth nappies.  They come with snap settings that can be readjusted

Washing Instructions

• Rinse Soiled/wet nap pies and place in nappy bucket
• Wash nappies every second day
• Put nappies in machine and do a rinse cycle, set machine's water level to the highest level possible.  If you can't or you have a front loader, we recommend either doing an extra rinse cycle or saturating nappies under the laundry tap prior to putting them into the machine.  This will ensure the nappies do not soak up what little water is generally used by front-loading machine. 
• Wash in warm water with 1/4 of the recommended amount of detergent taking care to use a dye and fragrant free detergent.  

Benefits for baby

Cloth nappies are so soft and comfortable to wear.  They are much more comfortable than the plastic and fiber disposable diapers that have fluffy fiber to make them look comfortable. The natural fibers and organic cotton options all help to ensure mum knows exactly what chemicals are going next to the baby’s skin as apposed to a disposable nappy being made of super-absorbent chemicals, paper pulp, plastics and adhesives.

Traveling with baby on board

This time we talk about the parents who love to travel, but are hesitant to travel with a baby for some obvious reasons. We’ll try to take on the various issues point wise and help you out.

You may be traveling either by road or an airplane, if the baby is happy, the journey would be nice and easy. What are the key points to put on your checklist?

When should you travel?

Avoid traveling in a time window of 3pm to 7pm, most importantly, if you are traveling by plane, as this is the time when the babies are irritated, dizzy and looking for a quiet surrounding. Try to book tickets in the mornings or the late evenings as your baby is fresh awake and well fed.

Where to sit?

On an airplane, try to book a window seat for several basic reasons, like it offers you a wall so you could control the kid over the other side, you can always control the amount of light falls on the baby, there’s an open view to keep the baby busy and most importantly, you get some privacy to nurse or breastfeed the baby.

Travel companion

Try and hook up a travel companion. Family or friends are the first choice, in other cases, let any cozy company from the work tag along. This would give you a chance to use the washroom, clean up and any help with the baby if required.

What to carry along?

Now this is a crucial answer, as long with the feeding bottle, diapers, and usual stuff, try and carry a car seat that you use with the baby in the car. Airplane seats are not really meant for babies, and your baby would sleep a long miles if you get it along.

Bring extra diapers, inserts and loads of wipes; it’ll be easy to manage a blowout. Pack the baby’s toys as they are a good diversion.

In case you don’t get an extra seat, bring along a baby carrier to keep your baby safe and save your arms from pains developed after carrying the baby for hours all together.

Breast feeding while traveling

It’s very important to breastfeed your baby while traveling as it boosts up the immune system of the baby to fight with flu or bacteria, which are really common to catch while travelling.

There may be more to add the list, but these friendly tips will certainly help you while tyou travel with your baby.

Keeping your baby cozy and warm this winter

There’s no denial to the fact that every parent wants to do the best for their kids.  New Mom’s need to be even more considerate with all the precautions they must take for the wellbeing of their babies and themselves.  So in the chilling winters but is best for our children and little babies?  What is the best to wear and what is not? The bottom line is keeping the baby warm and cozy! Smartbaby.in brings you some cool tips on winterizing your baby and using cloth diapers to help you get through the winters smoothly.

How to sense if you baby is too cold:

Often kids have cooler hands and cheeks.  It’s best to feel the baby’s neck and make sure there is good warmth in your baby’s core temperature. Be sure to protect and cover your baby’s hands and head from the cold so you prevent heat loss from their little bodies.

Why use cloth diapers in the Winter?

Cloth diapers, like our Flip cloth diapering system, come with replaceable diaper inserts that can be removed and tossed into a wet bag to wash later.  You can reuse the cloth diaper cover so it makes diaper changes really simple during those cold months of the year.   Secondly, a stay dry cloth diaper can help protect your baby from chill by keeping your baby dry naturally.

Don’t forget to use bumGenius baby legs with your cloth diapers as a great accessory. Your baby will be the best dressed and with a great color selection to nicely coordinate with your baby’s diaper.   Keep those legs warm and crawling knees protected. 

How many layers of clothes must you put on to the baby?

Normally, you get a fair sense of what should the baby be wearing, but if you sense the temperature dropping, the baby must at all-time be wearing one more layer of clothing than you are.

Let’s talk about the covering the baby while asleep, give up on the loose blankets.  Babies love to be swaddled and it reminds them of the comfort they felt in the womb.  When it gets cold and you want to take care of them along with keeping them comfortable.  Cover your baby with an extra blanket if you have windy environment around but just be aware to not overheat your baby and bundle them too much.  Remember hats are a great way to keep the body heat in.

That’s all we have for now on winterizing your baby.  So stay warm and have a cozy nice winter with your little one.

How can we help our babies celebrate Diwali safely?

Diwali is just around the corner and with celebrations all around, what could scare a Mom more than an unfortunate accident or burns during the celebrations. While you go on celebrating with all vigor, it’s essentially important to take it easy on the young ones. We have framed a few key points that would help all Moms and their kids celebrate together in safety.


Never leave your baby alone or unattended, as the baby may tend to swallow any decorative material or get hurt from the fireworks or even candles and diyas. Place all such items beyond the baby’s reach for precaution.

We have our everyday routines that come to a halt in festivities, but it’s no different for the babies, they are yet to figure it out. So let’s not break their routines of food, hygiene and play time. So take a break, and spend time with your little one.

Most important part is to wear a right kind of clothing and choose the right thing for your babies. Stick to cotton is what we suggest. Though most parents love to dress their babies in fancy outfits, take special precautions that the clothes like chunri, lehnga, long kurtis et car all tagged up not to swirl on diyas and candles.

Keep all the crackers and fireworks to an area where little ones can enjoy the scene and not get hurt. Select the fireworks beforehand, the ones that don’t get too loud or dangerous for the babies.

Do not feed your baby anything that might not be hygienic or up to the standards. It's great to stick to dry fruits if nothing else is available.

Protect your babies from sudden and loud noises, bright lighting fireworks and fire, as even a mild exposure could damage the little one’s sensory organs.

Always keep a bucket of water, a blanket and suggested medications for home use to counter any mild burns.

Keep all these simple tips in mind and celebrate a safe and joyful Diwali with your kids and family. From Smart Baby we want to wish you a very Happy Diwali and my you enjoy all your celebrations!

Parent Speak

“I love that there is finally a solution to all the diaper waste besides these cloth diapers definitely present a smaller wash load than cloth nappies! I'm only sorry I didn't know about this when I had my first baby. I bought the bumgenius 4.0 and it fits both my 2 year old and my 4 month old. But recently some of the inserts starting leaking at night despite the outer additional econobum cover. I called the helpline and they told me that the inserts were leaking because of soap residue build-up. I was told that a few more dunks in water would eliminate the extra residue and it did. I am very happy with this product and will be trying the flip next.”  -Maria Cabral Fernandes

“I have no words to describe how awesome bumgenius 4.0 is.... its one of the best pocket diapers I have used.. I recommended it to all my friends... I will continue doing so coz I really love it...n so does my son” - Babitha Shibu
