      According to our test panel, the best nappy is the Itti Bitti Tutto, with an average score of 7.8/10. It's a one-size, birth-to-potty nappy that adjusts to fit from newborn to large toddler, with a "poo fence" internal gusset to prevent leaks.

      If you're looking for a birth to potty nappy for night time use, though, one to look at is Motherease One Size nappies. They're a two part system, where the nappy is one size, adjustable, but the outer wrap is sized, so you would need wraps in different sizes as baby grows.

      There are lots of other good cloth nappy options, including Tots Bots Bamboozle, Little Lamb and Sandys, and I've had positive experiences with all of them, but I appreciate Alison’s simple birth-to-potty nappy with flexible fastening to enable a bespoke fit, whereas other brands offer multiple sizes.
