Rory - Aldi nappies are as dry as chalk! I'll have Oscar in one from about midnight to 9am sometimes and he won't be wet at all - the talc from the last change will still be powdery in his creases (little fatty!). So, yep, I've used the Huggies and I can say I'm happier with the Aldi ones, especially with the price difference.
Oscar was much happier today - lots of happy gurgling and chortling, so I think he's definitely on the tail end of this cold.
Had my cousin over for dinner, was lovely. Need to get to bed now...
