Pixie Poppits for 13 month old??

[DiannaQ]

Hi there All

Just wondering if anyone has used Pixie Poppits on their child??

I've had my daughter in disposables from birth but recently I've been looking at the cost of these Pixie Poppits vs disposables and I think that they may be a winner - however do you think I'll have any issues with DD converting over?? and if yes will they be able to be overcome?? I suppose I don't really want to take the leap if she ends up hating them - ykwim.

Also do you think 8 nappies would do for a 13 month old??

TIA

Well they look just like BumGs only cheaper. Can't see a prob.
We went to cloth just before 12months with DD and never had an issue. I bouth 4 to see how we went and was fine so I went full time.

Depends how often you change her daily. Also I wouldn't trust them overnight. Microfibre inserts will not cut it and you'll def be dissapointed. I change my little guy 3-4times over the course of the day, so I guess 8 would be ok (not counting nights) if you were happy to wash everyday?

Thanks Kim

Any suggestions for what I could do at night?? What if I was to put in additional store bought liners - sorry if that sounds really ignorant but i'm a definite newbie to this

no no not at all!

I think I saw some bamboo stuffers in her store (they go in the pocket)..... I guess they would be ok. Sometimes in a pinch I stuff my bumGs with bamboo and they've been fine.
Bamboo is the preference at night as it's so much more absorbant. Microfibre starts to get compression leaks once it's full.

eta there are plenty of specialist night nappies out there - but they are expensive if you are looking for a cheaper option.

Another may be if you use cloth in the day and sposies over night.

Pixie Poppits are my fave day nappy: suedecloth inner doesn't pill like microfleece, the pocket opening is not right at the back so inserts don't come out, and the fit is good for my chubby thighed, narrow-crotch darling. She's been in them since 3 months or so... Now she's 6 months and we've moved up a snap setting, legs and waist still fit well.
Bridie's a heavy wetter, so I generally use one of the microfibre inserts with a BBH bamboo insert behind it, which holds fine and is still trim. I don't think we've ever had a leak from them. (Haven't tried them overnight though.)
I just bought a few more of the hook-and-loop style for daycare - just like a sposie, they can't put it on wrong
