Hi there,

I am trying to decide weather to use cloth nappies or fitted nappies. I have heard that baby beehinds are very good.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I am due in March and going round in circles.

Thanks

Lulu

lulu.... baby beehinds are great!!!!! i should buy more.....

[Arimeh]

Lulu - welcome

When you say "cloth" or "fitted nappies" do you mean something like an all in one type of nappy - and fitted nappies? I'm a little confused, being they are all cloth

Its hard to know what would be right for you - have you checked out Nelle's thread for new users?

That should clear a few things up for you!!



Nothing new here - DS has done a big poo in his widdlewuns...

Oh yes.. Maz.. stir the pot as much as you like honey

Mel I would say she means terry flats over MCN.
BBH's are a good nappy but don't suit all. Will also be too big for a New NB. Iain is 5 weeks & 5.5kgs & fits them now but no way as a new new baby.
Look into prefolds!

Ahhhh

Sorry .. bit brain fried today.. but on the upside.. I learned how to do a quantum assessment at work.. yeah.. exciting stuff...

i find the bulky ness too much.
yes the leg is a little bigger but the cover holds the pooplosions in

because he is a tummy sleeper the less bulk at his tummy is better for us

Waiting waiting waiting for the postie................dont know if Im going to survive waiting for all this fluffymail lol Im like a kid at christmas!

Oh and anyone have any info on the Bright Bots fitted nappies (I think thats what theyre called?) There is a cool store here that sells them really cheap.........

Question! I washed Ashtons nappies today with just a hot wash, and no washing powder (because I ran out lol) and surprisingly they smelt fine.
Does anyone else use just water? Is this getting it clean because it's a hot wash? Should I be using powder??

Anna, i googled "bright bots nappies" and all the links were about cotton terry flats. I coudln't find any fitted nappies under that name (online) - doesnt' mean they don't exist, i just can't find net refs to them.

whenever you see a nappy brand, new to you, check out what the fabrics used are. Sometimes things are really cheap, cos they're all cotton (not as absorbent as hemp or bamboo). or they use PVC instead of PUL for the waterproofing outer.

I saw a whole row of MCN type stuff in Kmart today, if i was a newbie, i would have bought it without question. Now i am more familiar with the fabrics that do and don't work for MCN, i wouldn't buy any of it.

there were Fluffies terry towelling fitted nappies, PVC pilchers, Fluffies covers, PVC covers with animals on them etc. Only thing i would buy there (that i know would work) would be snappis and cotton terry flats (if i wanted those for a newborn).

NANA - please don't hesitate to give your opinion on anything MCN. Your opinion is just as valid as anyone else's on this thread hon. we all use MCN on our bubs, therefore, we can comment from experience. Speak up hon!

ALIOPPS - don't kids ahve to be TT-d before they're accepted for kindy?

I know the ones you mean Anna....I saw them before they were released at the last fashion trade fair.....to be honest they are an all cottom fitted nappy so theywill need a cover and also I have my doubts as to how absorbant they would be.....I have a suspicion if you got them you would find they would need a bit of boosting to really do the job well. To me for a cotton fitted they did not appear to have an awful lot of layers but then again if you don't have heavy weeing kids they could be great for you. Also if you plan to use them in the early days when you are changing every feed or even more so then maybe they would be okay...you know what i mean? Just my two cents worth.... and as they ar so inexpensive maybe you could grab just a couple and try them out before committing to a huge buy up especially if the store is local.... then if they don't work for you, you havent lost too much money!

missymoo- Before we started with these bad poos, I would only use hot water with a bit of bicarb in it. I've got a huge box of soap nuts I was using a few of those at a time as well.

Maybe one should check past postings in this thread

Gigi - I saw the same in my Kmart and it looked very deceiving. I had a lady ask me were the nappies were in the toy section and I proudly said...sorry cant help - we use cloth. should have seen the look she gave me

Of to prepare for the day

Mel - so which colours will one be going with

[Visitor8]

Didn't have TIME to check past threads. Had a screaming baby and wanted to know if I should put them away or keep them out for rewashing lol That's 14 pages of posts to go through!
