Little Weeds are made with hemp fleece composed of 55% Hemp, 45% Certified organic cotton, serged with natural thread and seamed to ease folding. These high quality diapers were specifically designed to fit in a small or medium pocket diaper. They can also be used as a doubler in any size diaper! Two layers of hemp ensure sure that your diapers wash clean easily and dry quickly. Designed specifically for an infant, the Little Weeds diaper folds in half for less bulk and four layers of absorbency. Have a heavy wetter or a tiny baby needing more absorbency at night? Try wrapping a bumGenius or Loopy-Do Insert with a Hemp Babies Little Weed! Use as a preemie diaper with a cover, and eliminate the need to buy preemie diapers if your baby is born weighing less than 7 pounds.
Washing: Since there is hemp in these diapers/inserts, wash them separately several times prior to the first use with your baby. This will "prime" the hemp to make it more absorbent and eliminate naturally occuring oils in the hemp fabric. Then wash them right along with the rest of your diapers and inserts using 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended amount of detergent. No bleach, whitening agents, or fabric softener. Should staining occur, it usually comes out after several washes. Alternatively, inserts can be placed in the sun for a couple of hours and they will bleach naturally...no kidding! And, since they unfold for washing and drying, Hemp Babies Little Weeds dry quickly in the dryer or on the line!
