Cheap Bamboo boosters/liners?

[Mummyof2under2]

So if i put two of those in folded that should be the same as a trifold?

30x30cm makes a nice sized trifold. Don't forget to cut it a little bigger to allow for seam allowance. Depending on the age of bub you can make it a bit longer for the rise too so for a large it can be 35 - 40x30cm.

Bamboo itself isn't as drying to the skin like microfibre is but as it is an absorbant fabric it will be wet against the skin which may cause a rash. Microfleece is a nice barrier type liner that isn't absorbant. Problem is it's a little hard to come by this time of year as it's a "winter" fabric
So you don't get them mixed up microfibre is like a short pile towelling like the ones sold to clean with and microfleece is a fine polar fleece type fabric that you can make baby blankets from.

Hi Raven,

Is microfleece okay for bubs with eczema? I noticed the bamboo is great for DD's eczema as a liner, but as you said it is wet.

What material would be best liner that will draw away moisture but wont cause a reaction?

Cheers

Natures Cradle sells motherease bamboo boosters for just $4.95 each which look great, but I've tried contacting them about their merchandise and they never return my emails or phonecalls so I haven't bought anything from them (I'm skeptical about online shops because I always have bad luck with them).

But if you live in South Australia they have a few stores.

Hey Phoenix, my DD has pretty sensitive skin (gets patchy eczema on her trunk) and we've never had a problem with microfleece liners. She did get rashes when I didn't use the liners though.
Miocrofleece is fairly inexpensive, so it could be worth giving it a go just to see?
I've heard raw silk is good for liners for babies prone to nappy rash. We never tried it and I wonder how effective it'd be at wicking away moisture... But that's another idea.

Thanks snacks!

Silly question but how does microfleece look like and how can i tell the difference between polar fleece?

I know how suedocloth looks like because BumG uses it, but not sure about microfleece.

Thanks!!

The Spotlight shops i have been to have it labelled with a colourful sign saying microfleece. It it thinner and softer than polar fleece.

I don't always find Spotlight staff that helpful, but when i asked for microfleece they knew what i meant and directed me to the right place (where i found the big colourful sign!)
