    Should I but some BBB fitted nappies?

    I have purchased 11 BB AIO's so far & got a handful off ebay aswell (much prefer BB) & my girlfriend is getting rid of all her BBB fitted nappies. Shes selling them for $17 each but said if I want them I can have them for $15 each.
    I read on here that they're good at night time with a wool cover. Would you buy some off her if you were in my position? I love the convenience of the AIO but wouldn't mind the extra "hassle" that comes along with a fitted if it does a great job IYKWIM.

    Please help me make my decision!!

    TIA

    i use BBB fitted all the time. I find they are the most absorbant out all of all the nappies i own.
    I have them on both kids.

    Another 'go for it' from me too Danielle, a fitted and cover are a great option, and not too much more hassle than AIO's really I've found.

    Dan - don't buy any sposies and he won't have a choice

    I like my BBB too - I use them for naps during the day with DS (they wouldn't last the night with him - he's a pee machine) but I use them during the night for DD (although having had two leaky nights with her in a row - think I'm gonna have to get a serious night nappy for her!!)

    No excuses Danielle, my dh is an expert at all our nappies, so it's not like guys can't do it. Dh is actually better than me at flat nappies.

    Perhaps start your dh with some AIO's like BBH Magicalls? Same shape as a disposable. (I'd suggest ittis, but they have snaps and some dh's are resistant to snaps at first.)

    My dh prefers the bbh fitted over AIO's. He evens snaps in the boosters himself. But he's hopeless at finding the right size cover. He tried to get a medium cover on Nina, who is an x-large

    I agree with the others though, just don't buy sposies. He has no choice then.

    My DP loves the snaps as he knows how what clip she needs them on and therefore cannot do it up too tight unlike with velcro... he will put on her BBH Fitted night nappy but leaves the wool cover for me

    I 2nd, 3rd, whatever we are up to. I use Itti Bitti's by day and BBH fitted by night and I love them, DD can last her 14 hour sleeps with no leaks!

    We use the BBH bamboo & they are great for daytime, but DS leaks through them at night (they last about 2 hours during the day - but I think DS is a pretty heavy wetter).
