    A fitted that's as absorbant as BBH but slimmer?

    We currently use BBH full time and LOVE them! But I have noticed that their bulkiness may be hindering DD's movement. I give her lots of nappy-off time, and she instantly starts moving around more and trying to roll etc. When she has a nappy on though, she just lies there!

    So...is there anything as absorbant as a BBH but is a bit slimmer through the crotch?

    I prefer fitteds (because I LOVE the Motherease covers), and would appreciate any advice.

    Thanks so much.

    It's hard to get a nappy as absorbant as a BBH but trimmer I think.

    Do you use any AIO's at all? They aren't as stiff as a BBH and cover. Ruby spends most of the time in itti bittis during the day as well as a few other AIO's. For fitteds I use very baby and itti bitti boos.
    She has really only started rolling all the time now with a nappy on. She was the same in that she was over in a flash with a nude bum but didn't do much with one on. Till this week and she's on the tum all the time but she's got a month on your little one.
    Maybe Louisa needs a tad more time to get into it also

    Thanks so much Raven. I was thinking of getting some AIO's, so that might be the way to go.

    Thanks again.

    I use cute tooshies - have never used BBH so can't compare, but I find them trim in the crotch and of above average absorbency. I would say that they are as absorbent as an itti bitti (although I've only used the snap in d'lish AI2, not the itti fitteds)
