Boosters and prefolds with bamboo - what do you think?

[Ryatha]

Hi Everyone

I have tried my hand at making boosters with Bamboo fleece and it worked out really well - well they look good, just waiting for bubs to be born so we can try them out.

Since we found that pretty easy (MIL helping with her overlocker) I was thinking of making some flats out of Bamboo double terry that I have found on the web - would that work? I was going to make them about 50x50... that will work from NB to infant wont it?

Also, I was thinking of making prefolds and was wondering if a Bamboo/hemp jersey would work or should I just use the bamboo fleece? There are two thicknesses of fleece and I wasn't sure which one would be best for a prefold. Or would it be better to have a different fabric on the outer sections and just keep the bamboo to the centre?

Thanks everyone for your help.

I have made some prefolds with flannel on the outside and bamboo in the middle, but they haven't been tested out yet so can't tell you if they any good.

Thanks - I didn't know what fabric to use on the outsides...

you can get nappy flannel from Spotlight (which is white) and i have also made some with funky flannel on the outsides.

cool - might have to give it a go... my trips to spotlight become sooo expensive! I just want everything

I think they would work really well

Give it a try and see how you go!
