wool nappy cover + extreme heat = bad nappy rash??

Thanks!

one other quick q - if they're only for night use, how many should I get? I do a load of nappies every second day. would 3 be enough or best getting 4?

you know you can rotate wool and fleece covers. You dont have to wash them every wash...and buy the sounds of it thats what your doing. If your washing your wool cover after every use...can I remind you you need to relanolise it for protection after EVERY wash. urine will sit in the nappy and cover unless you lanolise it as it will act as a stay dry barrier and allow the wetness to evaporate rather then sit in the nappy and cover.
I have wool longies here for W and they dont get washed for a month because they dont need to. There is no smell as they get aired out and the lanolised spray has a lovely fragrance.
So if you used one tonight, I would air it over the day and use it again tomorrow night BUT is you happen to have an accident I would have 2 covers so you can wash the one with poo on it

sammy i have a night nappy your welcome to have if you like!! i was given it and seen as im not using cloth overnight id be happy to pass it on!!

Thanks for the offer Olive, but I've just ordered a couple from BBH!

Thanks for the reminder Maz! I probably didn't make my q that clear, but I meant how many of the bamboo nappies would you recommend? I haven't been washing my wool cover every night! But I like the idea of having a fleece cover too - where can I get one? and do these need to be washed after every night use?

Thanks! Sorry for all the annoying questions but this nappy lark is rather confusing! So many options!

Hope the new nappy works well for you! But I think a barrier cream is a great idea as well.

We used one from Caring By Nature that worked well, and if there was any rash we used Lancanoh which is fantastic and helps clears it up quickly! It's also great for cracked nipples which is why I got it originally.
