Thats what we use & they are slightly too big but, Maddi was only 2.7kg born:
Just thinking out loud - with regard to CC centres - what if you provided disposable liners would the staff there be prepared to just peel them off and pop them into the bin for you??

Just had a thought.... The nappies I was looking at on ebay (110278883304) what was the problem with them that everyone saw? Just so I know what to look out for. Also would it work to buy cheaper pocket nappies from ebay & then get decent boosters to go in them? Or wouldn't that work?
you'd still be looking at the same price as buying a fairly decent pocket babe.
there are Ittibitti d'lishes for $21.95 (AIO) at IB atm..they are great..we have 8 *gulp* medium's and 5 larges...im personally thinking about getting some more fitteds like the boo's cause I find them a great fit (but they need a cover)
Kimbaz is having a sale at her store..check out what she has to offer...I know she has Bum G's and although they dont work for us (due to the materials) alot of the girls swear by them.
have you checked your po box today honey :)
No I haven't had a chance to get down there with Zander having a cold & it being freezing here today. I'm hoping Aaron gets home before they close at 5.30. So it looks like Ittis are the way to go from all my research, it's just such a big outlay at once to get her into cloth full time. I guess I'll just have to go slowly & get her there gradually.

I bought 10 x baby cheeks seconds on ebay for $117. SO about $11 a pocket nappy and they are fabbo!
No insert as i did what you suggested and bought bamboo and made inserts.
THey often come up on ebay - i will see if i can find their store for you when they have a dodgy batch but mine were all perfect - just like the IB delish seconds... cant find the faults their either.

Sarah, that's what we did. I brought some stuff before he was born but wanted to wait and see what worked and fitted us best. I highly recommend BumGs, we have 10 and they make up the majority of our stash but must admit...I'm slowly falling in love with our IB d'lish...thinking about getting a few more, but this is only because he is in the large size now and we won't have to buy more as he grows. I definitely prefer a OSFA nappy for this reason. I don't want to be buying new nappies every time he goes up a size (with the exception of a few show offs like BP ;)):
Also, a lot of the sites have layby so you can buy now and pay them off gradually if that works better. I've done it a few times now and love it.
In hindsight, I wish I'd used a chunk of our baby bonus to just buy them all, but had Ob fees, IVF debt etc...
Sarah, Maz is right. You really are best getting a well known nappy. You may pay a little more to start with but in the long run.... The nappy you listed from ebay seems ok, but its a matter of the fit etc.
Now I will admit to something I am ashamed of LOL, I bough a 3 pack of these 300248062491 the other week It was $30 for 3, I thought ah what the hell I will give it a go. They are crap. I didn't even take them all out of the packet. I simply emailed the seller & arrange to return them. The seller was great no faults there. She doesn't make the nappy so didn't know too much about them but really it was soooo not worth it.
Your best to build up your stash with a few good known brands that you may need to buy new & then find what you like & snap them up cheap on buy 4 baby & or swaps.
and have a party if you can!
i found a BBH party was wonderful and lots of discounts if you are a host :)
sarah, I bought most of my stash when I was about 35 weeks pg with Emily. So it really put a dent in the wallet, but I bought everything on sale, and saved quite a few $$ as I got discounts like free postage etc.
Like Maz said, you can get Itti Bitti's on sale atm, and today I bought some more baby beehinds magicalls which are on sale as well (the old style).
At least if you buy a brand that's reputable, if it doesn't suit, you'll be able to re-sell it quite easily.
And if you're unsure of what style/sizing would suit, I'm always happy to send you something to try out before you buy. I have itti bittis & magicalls in small & medium, and bbh bamboo fitted.
Annabelle - i know Melham has a few AS NEW Baby Bee hinds bamboos that she is wanting to pass on - you could PM her and ask about them! :)
BTW - out of curiousity... WHO used lanoish and WHO used Spray on lanolin?
Does one work better than the other?

I have some to test out now thanks to the lovely Maz :D How exciting!
I'm selling some things on ebay so might use my earnings on some nappies :D
My pleasure honey....:)
ETA - I just have to share....Ive been on the phone to Sue from IB and asked if I could get a discount as I wanted to buy some IB's for our BB girl in need...well blow me away and make me see the beauty in people! Sue is going to give, for free our BB girl in need some Medium AIO's for her baby boy . I cant get over it....how friggen gorgeous is the woman!!!!
Makes me dame proud to know that a fellow WAHM can do this with out any hesitation what so ever!
that is wonderful news Maz!!!
Great work!
and cheers for IB!!!!
Oooh well thanks to her generosity, I may just have to go and buy some IB's tonight... hehe..
My thoughts exactly Gudism, we have to support such a selfless, thoughtfull and generous WAHM!! Make that WAHMs, IB & our Maz! :)
Any good sales on atm peeps??
AWWWW ... you are always thinking of other Mel lol!
Aww Maz, isn't Suey a GEM!! :D We'll definitely have to buy some Itti's in support of her. :P
okay going to have to buy an IB NON Minkee or two now....
Ali - sorry to hear of your news :hug:
love this thread!! :cheer:
Hi girls! :)
not nappy related but... Breast pads... who uses non dispoables and would you reccommend them in bamboo etc?
Are they easy enuf to make or cheaper to buy ?
CAn anyone tell me where I can buy those Bum g v3 please ordered one from nurture nappies and didnt realise could get a pocket so ended up with AIO, so I have 2 AIO and I want a pocket one.
WOHB sposie in bed
PP - must say if you click on my link...you can see for yourself..lets just say Ive had to restock 4 times now and thats just Bpads. I wouldnt go wool...to dame itchy and iritating on your nipples...blah!
Yes the urge is once again hitting me like a ton of bricks...IB's are SCREAMING out to me after Mateauz getting that same rash YET AGAIN. Me thinks IB fitted mights be better...arhhh (Have private voices in my head...god knows dont ask)...hmmmm some IB boo's would be noice but all the mediums are sold out :(
Mel - I've got all my pocket BumG's from Nurture Nappies.
MAAAAAAZZZZZZZ - I don't know what size cover to get, need your help - he's 9.5kg and thunder thighs...I'm thinkin' large? Think we got medium last time and they still fit but think we'd get more wear out of the large??? Man I hope you're around...
Willow.......thats where I ordered from thinking it was a pocket........how much are the pockets.
snap maz - i was just checking out your stock! lol
So the bamboo goes against your skin? what stops them from leaking on the outside?
with DD i had to change sposie BP's up to 12 times a day! i have a major supply overload :)
Good luck with your sale tonight btw!
Mel - will they let you swap them for pockets?
Try beyondbelly i think they havea sale on too!
You gotta make sure you get the right ones, NN sell both. When you log on to the site, go to the left hand menu and click on 'pocket nappies' that way you'll end up with the right kind. They're $28 from memory.
BTW - Jane from NN is lurvely. I think it's worthwhile emailing her and telling her you accidently ordered an AIO instead of a pocket...see if she'll swap them for you??
thanx willow just checked it out, cant swap it as I have used it now anyway, so have just ordered 2 pockets and will list the AIO on B4B if I like the pockets better, has anyone seen a pocket second hand anywhwere.
Willow - go large honey for value for $$$
PP - no no the minkee goes against your nipple for softness and comfort...also helps for those first weeks of BP as it helps cool down hot and irritated nipples.
Im sure jane would swap them...she's fabo
nah mel i havent but if i see more pop up ill let you know! :)
Maz wouldnt they leak out the other side then?
I had no troubles with them and my testers never did...did anyone else????
Nope, they're awesome!
maz - im not bagging them.. i just know i had to change my sposies every 2 hours or so and the avent cloth ones leaked badly! and with bamboo nappies we have PUL covers to stop the leaks .... so was just curious.. .might need to place a bulk order! lol will need heaps i would say :P
But i will let you know!
How often do you change them? every feed
Maz - counting down the minutes until I can shop for your covers!
Liam's a skinny, long small boy... currently 5.8 kgs. Should I get the smalls?
Got the $$ at the ready... the lady bugs and liquorice ones look good ;) Awwwww - just saw the blue minky 'Mummy's little prince!' - gotta have it! I've called him that from day one!
My stoopid sister had to ring at the wrong time..........I missed out on Mummy little prince cover:(
Sorry Mel... musta got in before you... Maz might do another one for you!
Maz - I'm not sure what size the 'Mummy's little price' cover was, but I had to have it. If there's a choice - can I have a small or medium?? I couldn't see an area I could type this into the order, sorry! :rolleyes:
Whoops, sorry Mel, I got the other one :redface:
Maz -wooohoo!! I got the covers I wanted before they sold out this time - YEAH BABY!!! LOL.
Nettie - I think we need to let Maz know what size we want and then she makes them??
Pinkpalace - Thanks for that :)
I was thinking about CC too and was wondering if you had disposable liners would the staff be happy to remove them for you - i dont think that is too much to ask??
I think I am going to do a heap more reading on MCNs - i do have time !! bub is due in November eeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk!!! ;) Feeling a bit more at ease with it and definatley agree with buying a few different brands and trying them out.
Got me a yummy pink cover Maz!! Damn you & your minkee!!! :lol:
