bamboo or hemp

Yeah, probably. The old ones have the separate booster. The booster still dries quickly but not as quickly as the Magicalls.

Ok well what i might do it try out with some fitted nappies - one size.
Use them for overnight -
Should i start with 3
and how many liners?
ALso would you suggest PUl or wool cover?

Pink Palace, where are you, sometimes we have meet-ups and show off our stashes ? Come join the general discussion & I'm sure you'll get heaps of help there too!!

For nights: I would definately use a bamboo fitted with a wool cover. Its the best combo in my humble personal opinion. Which one truely depends on you. When I first started cloth nappies, I had a BBH nappy party so I could feel & see different nappies. I bought a few of each sort to figure it all out & then bought other nappies according to what I liked.

I love BumGenius OSFA pocket nappies, and BBH bamboo fitteds. They are my 2 favourites atm.

I too would suggest wool cover for night use.

This thread is very helpful! We've already started doing our research and so far I've worked out what i'll need -
You girls know your stuff, i don't! So am I right with the below?

Full time cloth use -

I'll need about 25 fitted nappies (i prefer the fitted from what i've read)
I'll need 6-8 covers (PUL and Wool) PUL - day WOOL - night
Boosters for extra absorbency
and
6 AIO's (small newborn size) until a few months later when bub starts growing and needs the next size AIO.....

am I on the right track here?? We won't be buying yet it's still early but we did buy the Trial pack (deluxe) from BBH and we just LOVE them!!!!

ren - Emily outgrew her AIO's in 3 weeks, so be prepared for that. Also give fleece covers a try, they are so soft & cute, I love them.

Christy - i am in brisbane
I have emailed BBH and asked for a party so that myself and other mum friends can have a squiz!
I mentioned it to DH and he hates the idea... as in he is not a fan of poo..... lol
You just scrape or rinse it off first dont you...

Also do you ever throw them in the washing machine with your normal clothes?

PP we are going to be having a BB clothie meet up in Brissy in the next few weeks. I'll PM you later with that info. It will be a good place to see other nappies than BBH.
