Please read this information before using and/or washing the Bambino Mio nappies. Before using the nappies pre-wash them in non-biological washing powder at 60° C at least once before use.
Nappy folding methods
Standard Fold: Lay the nappy with the two parallel stitched lines running horizontally. Fold the right vertical edge and left vertical edge over each other.
For extra absorbency at the front (or boy fold): Lay the nappy with the two parallel stitched lines running horizontally. Fold the right vertical edge over the centre. Fold the top and bottom panels over the middle and tuck into each other. With this type of fold, the length of the nappy may be altered to fit the cover accordingly.
For loose stools: Follow steps for fold 2. Lay the nappy with the thicker pad at the front and fold back the outer panels to form a fan shape.
Assembling the nappy
Place the folded nappy with the nappy liner around the centre into the cover. Ensure that the nappy fits to the front and back of the cover and is not sticking out.
Changing: Change the nappy frequently. Approximately 2-4 hourly (with the exception of night time nappies). A bigger, more absorbent nappy may be required for night-time. Alternatively use a small nappy as a booster pad.
Laundry: Wash in accordance with the washing instructions on the garment label.
Soak method: Soak nappies in a solution (15ml of Mio Fresh for every 5 litres of water) of Mio Fresh anti-bacterial nappy cleanser for a minimum of 2 hours. Nappies can then be rinsed in cold water or washed in non-biological detergent.
No soak method: Add 15ml Mio Fresh to the wash with a non-biological detergent. Nappies can be washed in temperatures up to 90°C but 60°C is adequate. Tumble dry on low or line dry.
Nappy covers:
- Close Velcro tabs.
- Machine wash at 60° C in non-biological detergent.
- Hand wash or rinse in cool water.
- Tumble dry on low or line dry.
- Dry away from direct heat.
- Do not use chlorine bleach or borax.
- Do not iron.
- Do not use fabric softener.
- Do not soak the nappy cover.
- Soiled nappy covers
Occasionally there may be some soiling inside the nappy cover. In some cases, not using a liner can help. Due to the nature of the product, however we cannot guarantee that this can be completely prevented. If staining occurs - use only mild or natural stain removing agents so as not to irritate the baby's skin and/ or cause premature deterioration of the fabric.
Nappy size: Please note: as babies' shapes and sizes vary a lot these sizes can only be taken as approximate. |
