    Talking I've been given the green light!...

    to get what I need (read: WANT!)Maybe it's because he goes to Canada on Wednesday for 16 days to see his brother and SIL and new bub and Im staying home but even so WHOO HOO!

    Now to decide! You ladies have to help! So far in my stash and on the way I have:
    Cushie
    BG one size
    GK anytime (no insert - am using it with the BG one)
    BBH Magicall (Sent back today waiting for new size)
    Pea Pods
    Hautes
    Happy Heiny

    Am thinking about:
    Berry Plush
    Bubblebubs
    Itti Bitti
    More GK - Minky and Anytimes
    More BG

    What else should I get!?? I am generally sticking with pockets and AIO's for now. Fitteds and covers to come = maybe for night use???

    Also need a wet bag - what do you recommend!? There are some cute ones but I want practical too and some that say they hold 4-5 nappies don't look like they would.
    I bought a 25 litre bin with a flip lid today too so I am pretty much all set!

    You go girl! hehehe!

    The ones you are thinking about are definitely ones I would suggest too. We also love Nic Naps here (similar to bubblebubs).
    As for wetbags, we use Monkey Doodlez and they work great for us. Simple..good colours..can strap onto your pram (we often use one for clean nappies, books and toys etc). Plus, they are a little on special at the moment at Darlings Downunder.

    Have fun! x

    OOhhh fun fun fun!!!!

    Ittis would be great to get - 25% off tomorrow only - so there is a starting point

    Wetbags - I have two small and one super size one - I use the smalls for DD for her day at daycare - fits about 5 or 6 small nappies in it. I use the supersized one for DS. However, I filled that up to the brim with nappies when I went away - was better than a suitcase to put them in cos it fits around other stuff in the boot

    Ummm.. other nappies.. not fitted... thinking thinking.. what do I have in my stash..

    Hmmm...
    Widdlewuns are great - on holidays at the moment though

    Hmm... can't think at the moment..... head hurties...

    Sorry Tan

    I have a headache that hasn't left even though I finished work a few hours ago.. lol

    Most of DD's nappies are fitted ones - much better for poo containment! So really can't help you that much.

    Plus I use a few fitted for DS too - like mandy macs are AWESOME - and so cheap!!

    That's ok hun! I was just kidding! Maybe I should try fitteds and covers.... argh, AIO's just seem so much easier. James is not a big pooer either, we have one tiny poo leak a week on average with sposies and with the cloth so far the only leak I've had was with the cushie (just a wee leak too) and that's coz I didn'f fold it down smaller on him.... Choices choices!

    I remember when I was first starting out - I was so against fitteds and covers - but now - oooooh boy..... I love them.... its the only combo that I don't think - hmmm.... I wonder if this will leak..lol...

    Plus if you get something like baby beehinds fitted - you can use them on both the kids (cos I do) and just have different sized covers

    Although - I think the medium mother ease rikki covers would fit both your kids - cos they fit both of mine (DS is in a large too.. they have a great weight range)

    Tan, I use all AIO and pockets, and only fitteds for night time use and love it.... So dont worry if you stick to just these through the day.... And for Adam, he just throws a magicall on Kane if I'm not able to pre-stuff one for him!!! So easy...

    I stuff just before I use, so I know what I need from the nappy eg. just an hour, a day nap, 3 hrs in town etc....

    I have yet to have a leak from ANY of my nappies!!!!

    And for fitted night time with Kane I too use Mandy Mac Purple Nights, and LOVE them.....

    I'm going to be VERY naughty now and go get some itti bitti on sale....

    I'm going to try and change my ittis from my order for something else and get them all on sale! I think I might get the the d'lish AIO's - should I get extra inserts while they are on sale??

    If you are getting the snap in ones, i would. The boosters take a lot longer to dry than the shells. I usually have a whole pile of shells waiting around for the inserts to dry.
