if ur DH is goin to be doin most of the nappy changing, then mebbe have some sposies on hand...it really depends who's goin to doin the lookin after & washing. We used a mix of sposies, flats & MCNs on bub in the 1st few weeks. MIL only used sposies on bub but she had since left. DP used sposies at 1st cos everythings new to him but he's slowly changin to usin cloth. It didnt really help that we got given a heap of nappies so out of convenience it has been used...
Prefolds: they r pretty much flats but with extra padding in the middle for better absorbency and yes they need a cover

He will prob nappy change the older ones more but he's more thinking of me having to change a bajillion nappies for 3 kids in those first few weeks when Im going to be tired, even with help. Might just be a better option to sposie the newbie. That said my MIL will be here from end of march to end of april so she'd prob wash no worries and make sure there are enough MCNs to go round.
Im definately going to get the 12-pack of large Bitti Dlish nappies, think the snap-ins are the better option for me as I hate stuffing pockets. Theyve got the front snaps too and not a ton of them either which is helpful with my toddlers. The less to temp opening nappies the better. Plus they dont do snaps yet :) Bonus is they are pretty nappies so I can indulge my girlyness on the boys without embarrassment :lol:
My only query for those who use them are - additional boosting? Can you just chuck in a micro pad to boost for extra coverage or must you only use snap ins? ** Ok just checked FAQs on Itti site and they said you can def additional boost but didnt say exactly what you can use.
Still considering the magic-alls.
Just realised I could use my os bG's for the new baby :doh: as 12 Itti Bitti's for the older two will be more than enough seeing as they dont pee as often as a little one. Although we all know I wont stop buying MCNs even when I think I have enough haha

Hi, I'm a VERY slack poster here in BB in the nappy thread :redface:
Just popped in and read your posts Anna....CONGRATS too!! I originally bought my BG's for my DD, but I ended up using them on Jake when NB cos they are really versatile. Even when he was tiny I would use them as covers with a prefold inside (cos the OS insets were just too bulky for my liking). They were great cos I used them on the smallest snap setting but then also folded the front down to reduce the rise even more. I found the velco tabs stuck fine to the inner. As a OS nappy i think they are great value. I even use mine with a double booster for DS at night as well and he's almost 5!!
Just my two cents ;)

Becstar - thanks :) and yep the bGs are great just very tight fitting for my big chunkers now although Im trialing one on Ripley right now and its still fitting enough to get by. Gage would definately be able to use them and duh ofcourse they can be covers for prefolds, Im such a tool lol Same goes for my peapod pockets.
As for the BBH bamboo fitteds, they need to be used with covers right, and can be worn for day use? Hmm think I have some of them actually.........
Rhoda - no I wasnt but thanks for that I'll give it a go!
-
yep definatly use them ANY time of the day...
Maz huney..will pop that cover in the post today :D & i hope you are feeling better today!!!!
My boy is still sleeping..he is usually awake by now...its past feed time....
I need to wash nappies!!!! but it is shiat weather outside...
-
Katones - send your nappies up here, I'll wash them and have them couriered back to you by tonight - its 35deg outside :o :lol:
Hmm I think the BBH bamboo fitteds with extra boosters and covers would be perfect for newbie.....they are one size too meaning he can wear them as a newborn and then still wear them up until he fits the large size itti's I get for the other boys. I'll just need a fair few of them, thankgod for my loyalty discount lol I could even test them out on the boys now before Gage arrives to get the hang of it.
Maz, why oh why did you have to take holidays ;) Ive been browsing your FB pics and OMG I want some of your nappies woman!

I'll second or third or whatever the Baby BeeHinds Bamboo and Hemps. I love mine. I use Motherease Rikki covers.

I LOVE Maz's Covers :D They are my FAVES!!!!
I did love my BBH and BBB more when Jake was littler...now he is so squirmy I really struggle to get a BBH on properly and then a cover too. they are still my great back up nappies when I run out of AIOs and pockets. TBH I've moved away from these at night towards my CTBD's....they are so lush :) Plus I find they don't leave so much of a mark around the legs. Anyone else have this with BBH? Jake is by no measure a chubba either.
I have a question for you all now.....I finally got my Lou Lou Nappies I've had on layby since July :lol:. Stupid me bought like 6 without even trying one first or asking for opinions. They are a little big at the moment, I got a M which is from 7kg, Jake is still only 7.6kg. Six months ago when I ordered then I thought he's be more than that for sure. They seem a little.....crinkly....in the hidden PUL layer. None of my other nappies are that crinkly.
So anybody used LL nappies??

I think I'll get the hemp BBH fitteds as they dry a bit faster and Im not using MCNs of a night so dont have to worry about extra absorbency. Ah if Nelle likes them then they must be good ;)
Does anyone own one of those Litte Squirt things? Are they worth the $80? Thats my least fave thing of MCNs, the poo's, my boys never do solid poo's always the opposite, so disgusting!

anna - I only use a cover with my bamboo fitted for sleeps and if we're going out. I don't use covers while we're at home. No point as it's too hot.
Have you got any ittis ATM? If you're going to use them, just make sure they're going to fit the boys. Ittis are a slim fit, so if they're anything like Nina, they may not fit.
You'll be very happy with the bamboo fitted.
I have quite a few magicalls, and bamboo fitted for that matter, if you want to try before you buy, let me know and I'll send you a couple to try out. That way you know it's going to work for you. All my magicalls are boy colours so you won't need to worry about putting pink of their butt!
If I had of known you were going to use cloth, I would have saved some of my small covers for you. I sold them all to another BB user a couple of months ago :doh:
-
Dont have any itti's but the slim fit is actually a good idea for the boys as thats where they seem most bulky, through the middle of the nappy, and I think thats what makes them a bit tight around their thighs.
Just trying to look around and see if there are any better deals for the BBH fitteds than on the actually BBH website.
-
AnnaT SOMETIMES they are available on ebay..i have been on the lookout... and now the coloured ones are as rare as hens teeth!!!

Surely you can PM Katones? You just don't have as big an inbox as Platinum/Life members, think you can only store 10.
