    Bamboo AIO's?

    Hiya,
    While waiting for the nappy rash to clear (see my other thread) I'm investigating which bamboo 'day' nappies but want some that don't require a seperate cover (AIO or snap in?). It seems they all have some level of microfibre or suedecloth involved I want to avoid this as it seems to aggravate the fungal rash. The BBH bamboo we are using at night are great (when there's no rash) so I'll be sticking with them.
    What brands are out there that fit the bill? (Thanks to those who made suggestions in the other thread - I'm just throwing the question out there )
    Anyone had experience with Itti Bittis snap ins and nappy rash? I'm keen to get more of these but even they have suedecloth liners.....
    Thanks for your help!

    Have not read the previous thread you refer to so i hope i'm not giving you useless information

    I use BBH Bamboo at night and find them great DS2's bottom is so good, i can't remember him having any rash since very young -not even since the arrival of his first teeth on Christmas day. We only use them at night though as they are so bulky.

    During the day i use a mixture of nappies that i'm pretty sure have the suedocloth you are talking about (is that the culprit for your nappy rash?) I have had no problem with these also but since solids i have always used a liner between the nappy and DS's bott. Not sure if you do this also or if it would make any difference but that's the only thing that comes to mind.

    I'm not an expert on cloth nappies at all but i'm loving using them. I hope i may have helped in some tiny way and that you find what you're after. Hope the nappy rash is gone for good very soon

    Thanks Myboys - that does help
    We use the same night nappies as you and they are good. I'm just wondering how MUCH of an issue a wee bit of suedecloth on an otherwise bamboo nappy might be as I really like the Itti Bittis we trialed. Seems some mums won't go near the stuff but some babes can handle a little bit without dramas.....
    Think I will ditch the microfibre pockets tho as the rash only rears up when I use those ones

    Koru, I find that when there is rash there that microfleece is great next to the skin. You're right with the bamboo as opposed to the microfibre as the microfibre has compression problems and once sturated leaves the moisture right near their bottoms.
    You could even just get 1/2m microfleece at spotlight and cut it up to make liners. this leaves a 'drier' barrier right next to their skin.
    HTH
    Otherwise there are some great fleece lined AIOs out there.
