Flannelette Flats?

[Marlene]

Please PM me links if you know any online (or not) stores that sell flannelette flats.

Much appreciated

[Nelle]

This is not a PM or a link But I got mine from Baby Bunting, I think the Big Softies brand. They have faint blue double lines down the side, and I've found them to be the best.

Thanks so much Nelle

[Nelle]

No worries Marlene! I think that's the brand my mum used on me when I was a baby. Unless there's more than one brand with the blue lines.

I got mine from Kmart I think, or maybe Target... I only use them as burp cloths though as I'm too scared to use nappy pins and Snappis won't grip to them! lol

[~clover~]

Try Kmart. I saw them there when I first started looking

I got mine at BabyCo

Oh, and if you're really in a fun mood, grab some patterned flannellette from spotlight and hem them

[Marlene]

Thanks everyone, looks like they'll be pretty easy to get

Is flanette better than terry squares? Is it the same type of flanlette as the muslin wraps??

[Nelle]

Generally the muslin wraps are quite sheer loosely woven cotton, so not the same material as flannelette flats.

As for whether they're better than terry squares - well they're trimmer. So for a newborn I find them heaps better, a terry flat seems far too bulky!

much prefer flannelette squares on a NB...but then i will still use them NOW on Jack.... they dry soo much quicker and are easy for NBs

Maybe I am thinking the wrong things...i have some flannelette wraps. I'm thinking I might be able to fold them into a nappy too??

[Nelle]

Well I *think* I've seen muslin nappies, maybe for prems or something? Definitely for babies with not much output but I imagine they'd be even trimmer on a premmie. Your wraps will probably be absorbent if they're cotton, I just don't know how absorbent! The ultimate test will be to put it on your baby and see how it goes!

I used flannelette nappies (blue lined) on both DD and 20 years later still have some. I found the terry ones too bulky. A flannel wrap is larger than a nappy so may be to bulky.
The flannel ones I bought form Kmart were smaller than the blue lined and were great for a new born them I would put one inside a larger one, fold it and use as a night nappy.
Using pins isn't hard just need to make sure the end stays pointed and sharp.
