Cloth Nappies here we come!! :)

Jims_Girl · Apr 11th, 2012, 06:00 AM

I'm so excited!!
Husband had finally given in to my persuasive powers!
He's agreed to me buying some to "try"...
I found a cloth nappy website a few weeks back that had a package with everything you need to start including a net bag to wash them in for £50 and now I can't find it!!!

Please can you help?? Or know of any other supplier where I can get a stater pack for around £50, I can't spend anymore than that until I've completely won hubby over

Honestly, I don't think I would bother with that one. You're better trying a few different types of nappies first because what works for one baby and family might not work for the next. I'd go for something with a few different types or at least a few brands, like the ones at the top here - http://www.fill-your-pants.com/nappy-trial-packs.html There are other shops that do them too. If you want to post a bit about you and your baby (do you have a dryer, age of baby, any preferences about nappies etc) we'll be able to help you find something to suit you I'm sure. Or have you thought about trying preloved nappies? You get a lot more for your money that way.

Thank you do much...,

Alfie is 8weeks old, around 12lbs ish... He's a little short with little legs..... but he is a poo machine, big explosive poos, several times a day!

I don't have any preference regarding nappies as I've never tried cloth before... As long as they contain the poo, keep him dry and not make him sore....
They'd need to be easy to use as I think if they were fussy my husband would give up!

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated...

Just off to browse those links

What doesn't ur husband like about cloth? I was in the samee shoes now hubby is one boarrd! I may have some tips (pm me). I find all in ones to be the most husband friendly.

Would you OH be ok with fitted nappies and wraps - a nappy shaped like a sposie that goes on first then a wrap over the top? They're the most reliable for poo explosions.

I've just had a look again at the trial kits I linked to before and I think this one - http://www.cheeksandcherries.co.uk/a...py_bundle.html is probably the best but I wouldn't actually buy it myself!

Do you think you'd be ok with preloved nappies? I could find you some links of good things to try if you would or at least make suggestions of things to look out for.

I would recommend trying these:

A Tots Bots Bamboozle Stretch (you should be fine with size 2 which should last until potty training) - £12 (You will also need a wrap for over it)
Tweedle Bugs wrap or Kawaii wrap - £5.25/£5 (for over the Stretch)

A bumGenius Freetime - it's an all-in-one - £16 or a Ones & Twos AIO - £13

Then maybe a pocket nappy as well. If you don't try the Freetime, I'd suggest a bumGenius V4 (same shape as the Freetime so I wouldn't try both). That'd be another £15-ish, so around £45 for the lot new. You could probably reduce the cost by half if you buy preloved. But don't buy anything just now, wait until Real Nappy Week (16th April) as there should be some nice offers on.

I think he's expecting them to be soggy, smelly and a faff.... I'm really not overly sure, he's never fully explained his aversion

Thank you so much for your pointers... I've spent the last 24 hours looking at nappies -wow what a minefield!

I really like the tot bots stretchies... They look lovely and snug!

From having a look I think I would like sized nappies as I wouldn't want a bulky nappy on him.... The g nappies look slim and snug but very expensive. It's so difficult making my mind up without feeling them... I'd like the outside to feel soft too...

I wouldn't mind preloved as long as they are not stained and very well looked after....
