i am SICK of buying 'sposies and seems DS is almost toilet trained i want to get DD into MCNs.
I have tried this before, and failed terribly lol.
We tried itti bitti AIO & SIO and also the cushie tushie AIO (i think?)
But both left the kids feeling damp on the outside of their clothes...
I also tried the ecobubs night time wool nappy and that failed as well :(
Any ideas?
I would love to give them all a 'try' but i just dont have the money to do that :(
Hey RR :)
Sorry to hear you've had a bad experience with mcn! If I was you I'd go back to basics to try and find out what the problem is. Firstly, checking that the nappy is on properly..firm around the tummy and legs, making sure there's no gaps at all. Sounds simple but I know so many people who say mcn haven't worked but they haven't put the nappy on firm enough so there's been little leaks everywhere. Also, not all nappies fit all babies, some need side snap ones for example. Then I'd look at absorbancy and see if perhaps the nappy has been left on for too long, not boosted enough, or not washed enough times etc.
Just some ideas anyway! Hope you can find a great solution.
FB has a page call buy & sell your MCN's. theres heaps available second hand but some hardly used, or u could just ask for the kind ur after, the ppl are very generous!
we use mostly BBH and monkey doodlez during the day, only get leaks if she has big naps.
at n ight we use maz nights and BBH night and have never had a leak out of either
HTH
Thanks for the super fast replies!
I am a part of that buy and sell group on FB, i am also not sure what size to get for DD, she is in 'toddler' nappies.
Thanks for the tips. i really love the itti bittis and CT maybe they werent boosted enough?
:bump:
CT's are pretty poo hun, i dont think it'd matter how much u boosted them. most nappies go by kilos, so if u know how heavy she is that would be a start
Is she a heavy wetter? I found i had to change DS1's nappy more often than DS2's. How often do you change them? DS1 could only go max 2 hours. Best absorbent nappies i have though are Abby Gro nappies.
No shes not a heavy wetter really, i could let her go all day in 1 nappy if i wanted to. (i dont tho lol)
I change her about 4+ times a day, depending on how many number 2s she does
umm i think shes around 9kg?
Speaking of no 2s, DS2 always does a poo when i put a cloth nappy on him if he's been in a sposie just before, lol. So annoying!
9kgs is a medium in most nappies hun. is she chubby thighed or got skinny legs?
I have to boost all my IB's for DD, and we found that if with the boosting she started leaking we needed to go up a size and the problem was solved instantly. Their absorbancy depends on how many washes you have given them, the more they are washed the greater the absorbancy. The bamboo boosters absorb more than the microfibre ones and I find they change the fit slightly as well.
DD is a heavy wetter and there are times when one will last a few hours others 1/2 an hour especially if it is straight after her nap and she hasn't been put on the potty she saves up a massive pee :lol:
Goodluck I hope you can find a way for them to work for you or an alternative :)

Thanks again! shes very petite, so im guessing a medium?
How many times did you wash your nappies before you used them? The absorbancy gets better the more they are washed :)
DS's nappies last up to 4 hours on a good day. After 2 hours sometimes they are needing changing though.
