Wondering when to size up cloth nappies? Learn how our Cloth Nappy 2.0 adjusts from newborn to toddler, with fit and absorbency tips for every stage.
One of the biggest advantages of modern cloth nappies is their adjustability.
But many parents still wonder: when should I size up my baby’s cloth nappies? The answer depends on fit, absorbency, and comfort — not just age or weight.
Here’s how to know when it’s time to adjust.
🌿
Newborn Fit (0–5kg)
For the tiniest bubs, a snug fit makes all the difference. Newborn Cloth Nappies are designed to fit babies up to 5kg, preventing leaks around those tiny legs and waists. They’re trimmer and less bulky, making them perfect for the early weeks.

Cloth Nappy 2.0: One Nappy from Birth to Toilet Training
Our Cloth Nappy 2.0 is adjustable, designed to grow with your baby from newborn all the way through to toddlerhood. With multiple snap settings, you can customise the fit at every stage.
-
Newborn stage: Use the smallest snap setting for a snug fit.
-
Baby stage: Loosen as your little one grows and becomes more active.
-
Toddler stage: Adjust for more absorbency and comfort during longer wear times.
🌿
Signs It’s Time to Adjust
-
Gaps at the legs or waist
-
Red marks indicating the fit is too tight
-
Nappies reaching their absorbency limit too quickly
-
Increased leaks, even when inserts are boosted
These signs don’t mean your nappy is “too small” — just that it’s time to move to the next snap setting or add extra absorbency.
🌿
Boosting for Toddlers
As toddlers become heavier wetters, extra inserts or boosters are often needed. Our Travel Essentials Collection includes bamboo liners and boosters for long naps, overnight, or car trips.
The bottom line?
You don’t need to buy new nappies at every growth stage. With adjustable snaps and extra absorbency options, Cloth Nappy 2.0 grows with your child — saving you money and keeping cloth simple from newborn to toilet training.
