Nutmeg Baby Newborn Size 1 Nappies 2-5kg - Soft, Breathable 25pk

In this review we look at the Nutmeg Baby Newborn Size 1 nappies, a 25-count pack aimed at newborns 2-5kg. The bottom line: these nappies are for parents who want a very soft, breathable disposable designed specifically for tiny newborns, with a shaped core and a simple waistband indicator to help know when to size up. The reviewer found them noticeably gentle against delicate skin and easy to get on and off, which makes them a practical choice for early weeks when comfort and fit matter most.

Key Features

• Newborn Size 1: Specifically made for 2-5kg babies so the fit is small and snug for the earliest weeks.
• Baby soft materials: The nappy uses soft fabrics that reduce chafing and feel gentle against newborn skin.
• Specially shaped core: Designed to channel moisture away from the skin to help keep a baby comfortable and dry between changes.
• Waistband indicator: A simple waistband helps parents recognise when it is time for the baby to move up a size, removing guesswork.
• Super soft and breathable: Breathable construction helps air flow and can reduce overheating for newborns who need close contact and skin-to-skin time.
• Awarded design: Recognised by Loved By Parents for nappy design, indicating thoughtful construction for everyday use.

Who It's For

This product suits parents of very small newborns who prioritise softness and a secure small fit in the first weeks after birth. It also works well for caregivers who value simple visual cues like the waistband indicator to manage sizing without fuss. The 25-pack is convenient for testing fit or for short hospital-to-home transitions.

Those who need larger quantities for long-term use or who prefer reusable cloth nappies should look elsewhere; this disposable is aimed at early newborn sizing rather than extended use through multiple sizes. If you need overnight heavy-absorbency for larger babies, consider a size with higher capacity.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very soft materials that are gentle on delicate newborn skin and reduce irritation.
• Shaped core helps keep moisture away from the skin, improving comfort between changes.
• Waistband indicator makes it easier to know when to move up a size, reducing guesswork for new parents.
• Breathable construction helps with airflow, which is useful for preventing overheating.

Cons
