Raven- didnt even think of that no brain atm....

so if you def know you will use them later bamboo is great, but if you anything like me and have no brains flannel will be fine

ROFL Nessa I too am lacking in the brain department but full on into sewing mode so have this very topic on the brain ATM

I really want to get out today to spotlight (sshhhhh don't tell Maz i just said that word) :P and give myself something to do.. but i am still NOT feeling the best....
I am waiting on fluffy mail (if you call BBB fitted fluffy).. yes yes i did actually decide to purchase them

I just sewed up 20 prefolds. 30 x 40 cm rectangles with 6 layers of flannel and 1 layer of microfibre in the middle panel. (2 layers of flannel on the outside pannels). If that makes any sense.

I actually tried one out on DD as a pad fold in a PUL cover (bbb) and it lasted well. I was very impressed seeing as what nessa says is true - they are only in each nappy for max 2 hrs as newborns squirt poo and wee all the time! lol

I have some bamboo inserts / tirfolds that i sewed up for pocket nappies but prob wont use them directly as prefolds as would hate to get the poo out of them lol

All i did for my flannel ones was buy 2 x double flannette sheets from the op shop for about $6 and some microfibre cloths and sewed themup! hey pronto - cheap and effective until bub can fit into MCNS

WOHB - BBB+?Cover.....

Yayyy fluffy mail - 10 itti bittis.. new COLOURS... woohoo... they are DIVINE... I told DH I was in love - he called me an addict,..I don't understand why....

I'm so over my magicalls leaking - I think my kids are just the wrong shape for them completely. I think babies actually need to have a butt to fill them out a bit... grrr...

Another one to sell I suppose... ooh.. maybe that means i can buy an IB to make up for it.. pmsl...

Thanks everyone for your lovely warm welcomes and compliments for Jett. He is a bit of a spunk, but I am completely biased!!

Thanks for the advice on the OSFA nappies. J is 7 weeks old now and although I can get him in to them the absorbency is the issue. I have Haute pockets and the nb booster doesn't hold the monster wees he does, and the large booster doesn't fit well when the shell is at its smallest setting. Maybe I am just doing it wrong?

The itti bittis seem to work well though. And I have tots bots bamboozles as well, which are great, until I have to put a cover on!! then he looks like he can't move!!

Oh well, it is all a bit of trial and error really. Any other nappies you think I should try? Small fitting with big absorbency?
