We converted to MCN's when my DS was around 6 months. I went straight for the OSFM, and started out buying 2 BBH second-hand to give them a try and I love them! My DS is quite a slim bubba, and I have had nothing but great experiences so far with BabyBeeHinds, Itti Bitti (both in the D'lish and Tutto) and I have one BumGenius V4 that I just LOVE
A very good friend of mine has only ever used BumGenius V3 on her DS and has never had any issues with fit or leakage from newborn to now (12 months)!
I love itti bitti and bbh ! I have 5 nappy chappies but they don't hold much. My 4week old wees right through them. Boost them a bit more and they're good. The bbh petite are great absorbency, but I think DD is going to have her mothers thighs and is onto the last snap already!
I do want to try other brands so I'll get some suggestions too
THank you everyone for taking the time to share your thoughts... It's such a HUGE market & often without being able to hold the nappies makes it harder..
Just wondering where the best place to buy extra inserts are and bamboo or microfiber?
Does your baby have chubby thighs/tummy? Long/short?
My DS was avg/short length with slim thighs (for a baby) and the bumgenious and green kids pockets worked well for him, as well as some homemade pocket nappies that also have quite wide crotches.
DD fits the ittibitti d'lish quite well adn I've made her some narrower crotch nappies - she has chubby thighs. She's long for her age though, and also big around the waist so the mediums are already quite tight on her.
Do you have a sewing machine? You could make your own inserts/booster pretty easily. There are sites taht sell all the materials you nned.
if you are in melb, darlings downunder has a shop in kew where you can play with the nappies. pretty sure there are shops in most capital cities if you let us know where you live. the baby expos often have nappy stores too
