Birth-2-Potty Paca

Our alpaca diaper covers can be reused for weeks without a wash. Let it air dry between diaper changes or when it gets damp, rotating with another cover. When baby is small (and poops are harder to contain), you can use the larger covers as backup on wash day or at nighttime over bulkier diapers.

Replace the cotton flat each diaper change, approximately every 2 hours. Add a hemp booster (or 2) for longer stretches such as nap or nighttime.

One-size cotton flats can be folded and customized to fit your baby at every stage.

With this paca you'll have enough diapers on hand to wash every 1-4 days, giving you 12-24 changes a day at the newborn stage and 6-8 changes a day as your baby gets older.

Diaper Cover: Small 6-12 lbs, Medium 12-20 lbs, Large 20-35 lbs. Please note this assumes a snug fit over a cotton flat.

Flats: one-size and measure approximately 28" x 28" inches after accounting for shrinkage.

Hemp Boosters: 11.75" long x 4.5" wide, after washing. These are the "small" hemp inserts made by Thristies but we like to think of them as "one-size". This size fits wonderfully inside all our covers so you can use the same boosters from birth to potty learning.

*Note for newborns -- our alpaca and organic cotton diapers are breathable and safe for umbilical cord stumps. Our low-rise covers allow for easy positioning below the belly button.

Wash before first use.

Soak alpaca cover in cool water for 15 minutes using a gentle wool wash (we like SOAK) every 1-3 weeks as needed or if soiled. Do not agitate cover while it is soaking. Air dry. No bleach.

For cotton and hemp products, machine wash warm for longest cycle using a commercial detergent (not soap). Avoid additives such as fabric softener, optical brighteners, or fragrance as these can reduce absorbency. Regular use of bleach is not recommended. Fill washer between 2/3 and 1/2 full for best results. Dry low heat or line dry to reduce environmental impact. If stiff after line drying, you can place cotton + hemp items in the dryer on low heat with some alpaca dryer balls (not included) for a few minutes to soften them.

Please note that hemp has natural oils which will gradually wash out over time (typically 8-10 wash cycles), making the boosters even more absorbent after this initial period.

After baby begins eating solid food, first remove any solid waste from diapers by plopping into the toilet using toilet paper or the Wipe Away Wand (sold separately) prior to washing. Wipe the wand clean with toilet paper and hand-wash wash with soap and water (do not soak). Store out of reach of children.
