Real Nappies - Prefolds, HELP
I've just gone cloth, and in a bid to save money I bought some 'Real Nappies'. I did a bit of research etc and thought they sounded ok for the price. A bit of work, but I was going to use them while i built up to more MCNs.
But, eek, I am having trouble. Surely they aren't this bad...so i think maybe i am doing something wrong.
*They are bulky - poor little DS, he can barely walk without doing the splits. I am folding them in thirds, but the prefold seems so big.
*The poo goes everywhere and squishes out the side of the prefold and the cover on to his clothes/legs etc.
* The cover doesn't fit very snugly around the legs. It's kind of loose.
* They say to use a bio liner, but i can't get it to 'stay put'. It shifts in the nappy and bunches up completely and this doesn't help at all.
Anyone out there love their 'Real Nappies' and have some tips for us?? Please help me make them work for us a bit better.
TIA,
Jo
