Happy Friday all 😊

Did you know that flat nappies are great for smalls of all sizes? They are also super quick to dry!

Here we have a 50cm flat (newborn/size 1) which still fits my 13 week old (around 12lbs).

There's lots of different folds you can use, this is similar to the Gaynor fold, secured with a nippa

Flats are super absorbant, but you do need a wrap over the top πŸ˜‰
