Well now that we know we are having a boy, it seems cloth nappies are looking like a good idea, as the new baby can use the ones that Noah wears as he gets to big etc. However Im still concerned by the initial outlay.
A shop near me however is doing a really good deal on sets where you gat 12 of each nappy and 3 covers for £50 so it would set me up more. Idont know what Bambino io are like though? http://www.babylandnorwich.co.uk/sho...1_bambino_mio/
Anyone use then, or do you know of other stores that do similar deals on other makes, cause this looks lot cheaper, but I must have fast drying as I dont have a tumble dryer
What is a prefold? does that mean I have to fold them?
I dont really fany that.
I have just been looking at the Tots Boyts Fluffles which you recomended to me before Minxy. Do you use those? Idont know if it might be easier to use ones with a nappy nippa, which I have never even set eyes on or just to opt for poppers. Whould a nipper thing be a bit uncomfortable for baby and dig in?
I like the fact they are quick drying and can be used pretty much from birth to potty so I can just make a one off purchase of a load and use them on all babies and just get fun patterned wraps for them.
It's not a lot of folding, just flaps in and folds at the front for a boy (middle for girl) but I think getting a good close fit is more fiddly.
I was really wary of nippas, but they are pee easy honestly! Poppers are fine but limit the fit again. With a nippa you can adjust a nappy from the tiniest baby to a toddler. Saying that, my Fluffles are poppers as microfibre is not easy to 'nippa', its best on terry or bamboo.
I'd go for them as your core then. If you want to add a couple of 'fun' ones, check out WeeNotions (Jo's fave!). they are microfibre too and coloured/patterned
lol, as you typed that about weenotions Iwas just showing the site to wobbles!
So if I go for the tots bots fluffles, should I opt for nippas or poppers? I want to be able to use the same nappies for both noah and new baby as it grows, so I dont want poppers if they are going to grow out of them and they wont grow with the baby if you know what I mean.
Also do you recomend boosters with these or will they go through the night in them as is?
I'd go poppers, Fluffles are soft enough to scrunch up quite little and go straight for size 2 for the biggest margin.
You get one booster with each nappy, but IMO microfibre is not the most absorbant of material so I'd boost them for night. I've got allsorts of boosters.....specially bought ones in hemp, bamboo, even old prefold nappies (bulky doesn't matter at night)
A word on wraps, Tots HAVE reworked theirs but they were known in the old days for being a little leaky. The most reliable wraps I have ever found are the Mothereease or Onelife ones.
I think it should do me for both children as it has 20 normal nappies suitable from birth, plus boosters, and 10 popper nappies for when we start potty training witch will be very shortly after bub 2 is born. And all the needed bits and pieces, like nippas, laudry bags, bucket etc, and even wipes, cause I want to start using them too. Do you think this is a good price and is there anything else you think I will need?
