From memory I think that is enough. The instructions with our Nap Naps said soak them in water, then spin and dry. I think it was 3 times, or maybe it was 6. I haven't been very helpful have I?!

If you want them to be really absorbent (being that they contain bamboo & hemp) I'd pre-wash them 6 times. My D'lish nappies became much more absorbent after 6 washes, although absorbency is probably not a huge issue on a newborn?

I have used my nappies since my lad was 11days old (once we ran out of gifted disposables) and I washed the nappies three times and have found they are working well. They are still getting more absorbant with each wash but most of the time you have to change them because he's pooed before the nappy is full so by the time you need full absorbancy the nappies will have been washed enough.

Thankyou so much for all your help :) the nappies are so cute. I have washed them another 2 times and they are now put away waiting for this bubba to wear them :)
