Starter kit suggestions
Do you dream of using cloth diapers, but are in doubt about what to start with?
We have put together some suggestions so that you can easily choose the solution that suits your family.
At Elskbar, we recommend that you change your baby approximately every two hours during the daytime to protect the skin and keep the baby dry. At night, you can boost the diaper with extra inserts so that it lasts all night without any problems.
You can freely combine Natural Snap-In AIO and Cover All+ inserts if you want a varied solution.
These packages are valid for babies over 6 kg. If you have a newborn, choose the same number of diapers, just in newborn size.

How many cloth diapers do you need?
You can use cloth diapers either part-time or full-time, depending on what suits your family best.
You can start out with a few cloth diapers to test if you like to use them. This way you have the opportunity to get used to cloth diapers with your little baby before you decide if you want to invest in more.
There is a difference between how many diaper changes a newborn baby and a larger child needs.
Newborn:
A newborn baby can easily have up to 10-15 diaper changes a day, so it takes many cloth diapers to keep up with washing and drying. We recommend about 27 Natural Newborn cloth diapers for the newborn baby if you need to use fabric full time.
One Size:
When your baby is around 6 kg at 2 months of age, they have about 7 diaper changes a day. Now your child is big enough to fit Elskbar’s Natural Snap-In cloth diaper or Cover All. We recommend that you get around 24 Natural Snap-In to use full-time. This is calculated on the fact that you wash every second to third day.
If you choose to use Cover All, it is enough to only get 8 Cover All and 24 inserts, as the cover can be used about 3 times before washing is necessary.
However, reservations must be made for the length of the drying time. It can vary greatly depending on snow, rain, or sunshine. The longer the drying time, the more diapers are needed. Read more about washing and drying cloth diapers in Elskbar’s guide how to wash cloth diapers.
Part-time use:
If you choose to use cloth diapers part-time you don’t have to buy a lot of diapers. Doing cloth diapers on part-time, for example, can be using cloth diapers in the day time and disposable diapers at night time or cloth at home and not in daycare or out and about. You can also just use cloth diapers when you are in the mood for it. It is a really good solution for many cloth diaper parents. You can start by buying maybe 5 diapers and slowly add more until you reach about 10-15 diaper which is an appropriate number for part-time use.
The more diapers the less wear:
If you choose to have a small number of diapers you should be aware that they are worn out much faster than if you have many diapers in rotation. Use and wash wear on diapers so it may not necessarily pay off to buy just a small number of diapers.
