    hi ladies, yes a new thread and I don't think I even posted in the last one I read all of your posts and keep learning and I had to say that my fav baby items are still my nappies! I just loooove my bamboo hault prefolds even if they do take forever to dry! Anyway I have a question. Is there a particular fleece as in micro fleece or any other kinds of regular fleeces which are best for liners or are there some which I should stay away from? I am thinking of just buying some fleece and cutting it up rather than paying for already made ones. TIA

    hey cherished! look at ur ticker moving along hey!!!
    u can make liners out of any kind of material. but just remember that bub may have a reaction to man made fibres like microfleece.
    i use raw silk liners in DD2's nappies and i buy them premade because im slack!

    Teresa, I found that I did not need to lanolise the BBH wool covers as they are pretty thick. However, if you do want to lanolise them, you can get sprays or stuff in a bottle that youput in a little water and let them soak in it.

    I like the sprays, they are easier, but the bottles are better value for money..

    teresa you can give it a go without doing so, if you find they leak through then give them some lanolin The BBH ones are really thick. I don't lanolise my loveybums ones either (LOVE the loveybums)

    Howdy,

    Well DS has pretty well grown out of every nappy we have. I want to get some large GFs but DH is refusing to use cloth and he's the one who's he thru the day so I don't see it working. wah!

    I've tried reasoning with him but he's not really receptive to anything that's not his own idea

    So that said I'm here for my cousin.
    Her 5month old is 10.3kg so grew out of his small mcn's so fast she barely got to know which ones worked.

    He's currently in flat nappies dduring the day and sposies at night which she thinks are giving him thrush so wants a recommendation for a night nappy

    I'm not sure if he's wide or narrow though. How does she measure to tell this - I always worked it put by what nappies worked well for us.

    I have an ecobuh for her to try but after other suggestions

    I hope you had a good weekend away Maz. The gorilla nappy sounds super cool!!

    Sorry to hear you're not using cloth anymore Pandora. I'm not much help with night nappies- we only tried Green Kids and they worked well for a while but not the best I don't think. I'm tossing up getting some proper night nappies too. Maybe a BBH.

    First lot of fluffy mail today!! Two size 1 Tots Bots Bamboozles. Very fluffy and little and cute

    Pandora - I owe you some money for the bamboo you gave me so how about I send a large NN to your SIL in its place..she can fix you up with the$$

    Meow - had a lovely time away thakns . You do realise I have to check out these bamboozles now...they sound so yummy and delish.

    PUtting a trifold has worked wonders with Mr ****alot. I change him every 2 hours now and the nappy is wet but not wetting through..compared to the half an hour I was getting. SO mental note...must buy more bamboo fleece to make more trifolds...10 isnt enough for the stash

    Pandora - so sorry to hear that your hubby won't use cloth Regarding the night nappies, Maz's night nappies are excellent

    Laa can no longer wear our medium sugar shots The bottom row of snaps kinda sits onto her thigh, instead of above it. Happened overnight.

    So now we are exclusively into the medium/long sugar shots and beetlebums pockets, with some GF's as spares (the boosters take ages to dry here in winter).

Harlee is in her first cloth nappy now.. a woddlebots AIO. it is soooooooo cute! I've been itching to start using the cloth!
