    Thanks for your advice Ryatha... good to know that the liners aren't really necessary. I've tried a day without them so far and although the dirty nappy was messier to clean up, DD's butt stayed dry the whole day which was great.

    I've heard of this problem with certain brands of flushable liners. We used some eenee flushable liners in the early days and I don't remember them doing this but they did just bunch everywhere and I found them annoying.

    If your baby is still exclusively BFing then the poop just washes out in the machine- no need for liners or prerinsing. My son does mucky poop and I would hate to be trying to scrape that off so we use fleece liners and a little squirt- makes life much easier! Generally fabric liners draw moisture away from the skin so it soaks into the nappy and doesn't sit on their skin so much.

    Putting your nappies in the sun generally removes stains so you don't really need liners except if you want them for cleaning up. Trying to squirt my son's poop off the nappy is so much harder than getting it off a fleece liner.
