Hello!
I am looking for some advice from all you knowledgable ladies!
I have been looking at this section since before LO was born in Jan, particularly sections on re-usable nappies. I went on to the Nappy Lady website and filled in a questionnaire, got a VERY comprehensive and helpful reply from a lovely lady who recommended bambinex or flexitots nappies, and gave me a full order recommendation with it (all the bins/muslins etc and some recommended quantities of nappies needed).
It was all quite overwhelming at the time and as a first time mum I was a bit apprehensive about ordering too much before she arrived as I didn't want to make a mistake iykwim? So now she's nearly 10weeks old and over 10lbs so I've avoided having to learn to fold muslins into mini nappies (maybe I'll tackle that one with the next ) but my questions are:
1. should I go with the whole recommended order from TNL or should I try a couple out and see how I go?
2. Does anyone have any experience with bambinex or flexitots? from the recommendation I'd be leaning towards bambinex for environmental and absorbency reasons.
3. I've loved seeing all the varieties of cloth in the 'cloth bum' pics, are the ones recommended to me plain material (I've seen plain samples of little lambs) or can you get all kinds of colours of bambinex as well?
Sorry if any of this sounds really thick! I'm a total novice and nobody I know currently uses cloth nappies
Thanks in advance, any help would be very much appreciated!!
