rhyb I went through a phase of not being able to tolerate C's pooey nappies when I was PG. I'd sling them in the trough and deal with then when I felt a bit braver. Quite often the next day I'd end up with a few and go gung ho at it. Quite often the poo would go a bit hard and it comes off easier and didn't smell as bad Not good for stains but most of them ended up sunning out eventually lol!
But if you've got to use sposies for a bit then that's fine. I think that's what sposies are for - for when you can't do cloth sometimes!
Kitt3n there is a 1.5 in the works apparently. I emailed Lesley to suggest it and she said it was on the way but didn't give any hints as to when.
Gigi not sure on her weight but will be seeing the nurse on Tuesday for our special visit I was keeping this quiet but I'm all a bit excited cos I just had the phone ring while I was typing this just now. Ruby is going to be in a promo ad on teev for the vic government
sorry Rhoda...i did have all intention of using 'flanny flats' when i 'ran out' of pockets/AIO'S/AI2'S...but only ever used flats twice i think...i never have run out of MCN's....
Rhoda I used flanny flats for the first 3 weeks. Worked great, I was changing him often enough it didn't really matter With a ME Rikki cover most of the time. I had about 25 and they lasted fine, cos they dry in no time at all
WOO HOO My Whizz Kidz package came today A night nappy, and 2 fitteds Can't wait to try this NN.
I was looking at my cupboard last night thinking how many I have and how sad I am having so many for one child...
I need another!
Last count, 97 nappies. I did so well and culled back from 130 to 60 and now im back up there :S
Rhoda the flats will dry a tad quicker than prefolds Folding times are a tad longer for flats but I'd also fold my prefolds nice and neatly too so I don't think that made too much of a difference overall.
Flats will dry quicker than prefolds because the prefolds are layered down the middle.
Bamboo prefolds are better for long term use as a booster later on. Cotton wouldn't cut it with toddler wees! I made them 30cm square and they worked brilliant for Ruby as a newborn and I use them in Calebs pocket nappies now. Well I did
Flats have their pros too though and make great burp cloths and I always have a spare one in the nappy bag for change times as II'd rather wash one of them than the change mat.
I have been using flat cloth nappies exlcsively since my boy was born he is now 21months and find them easier than anything else (prob due to being brought up with them) but of course each to their own
