    I don't have any problem but I stuff first and then snap it to the setting, I get the feeling you are setting and then stuffing?
    I could be doing it wrong but thats what works for us!

    There we go, that was the secret to the technique. A bit red-faced here.

    Yes I was snapping the pocket down first then putting in the booster. So I tried it the other way and it was much better. It lay down flat and then then the pocket snaps hold the booster in place.

    Right well, another mystery solved, good work team!

    Ash, do you snap for size each time you stuff the nappy? Doesn't that take heaps longer (or are you just more efficient and coordinated than me )? I suppose if you have multiple babies and change for each one then that would work, but having one baby I just set and forget until he grows out of that size.

    Kuraiza, I too found the newborn inserts bunched up heaps by themselves (with or without baby), but the sized inserts don't. I've just gone onto the largest setting and am finding it bunching again, so have gone back to the middle setting as the more snug the nappy is against the baby the less chance of bunching.

    Oh, and Cassius, am I reading right in thinking that you put the insert directly against bub's skin? Perhaps you haven't had any problems with it, but it's not recommended putting microfibre directly against the skin - because it is so absorbent it easily dries the skin and can cause irritation.

    Yup Suse, that's right... I never ever thought to leave it, i always unsnap when I wash. I guess I could try not doing it but I find by the time i mess around unscrunching the insert its just easier to unsnap and resnap!

    Gorgeous pic of E, as always

    Thanks hon! You should see it in high res - the detail is just mmmmm. His eyelashes and part of his nose are in perfect focus but the rest is soft focus. Actually, I should load it to my gallery...
