are these kind of carriers good/safe https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MEI-TAI-...by_Carriers&hash=item415fbc5e78#ht_2103wt_952 i know you have to be careful of the positioning of the legs or something ? but im clueless lol

I personaly wouldn't go with them, thay are 'fakes', i have heard alot of bad things about them, not carrying baby safely and the stitching being shoddy.

 

[leoniebabey]

thanks hun i guess i'll have a look around a little more any recommendations of good places to look ? x

Why the pocket hate?

I have used them for a LONGGGG time now and they are SO annoying to stuff lol. I'm just lazy now. I used to love them because they were so convienent but now I have fitteds and they are about 9 million times easier, I usually just stick with prefolds/fitteds with covers.

What pattern/color did you get?

My pfau wasn't in today.

 

[leoniebabey]

just realized hot tea, your eldest shares a birthday with my LO. he was born in 2010 though.

 

[emmylou92]

I just bought some leg huggers, same as baby legs justvmadecwith bamboo cotton. Cant wait to get them.

Started potty training Hollie yday.

 

[emyandpotato]

Wow that's early! Actually is it early? I don't know to be honest! When do most people start? Not even though about it yet.

 

[leoniebabey]

what is the idea of baby legs, i see them all the time but never really understood what there for lol ?

 

[emyandpotato]

I think to wear with cloth so you can still show off the nappy? That's a guess though

I this thread

I didn't really use cloth with Alfie as he was almost 1 when I bOught a few cheapies and a heavy wetter and I kinda gave up as we potty trained early. Im going to get a few bamboo liners and use cloth at night for alfie though. It feels so pointless buying 1 pack of nappies a month lol. I want to use them full time on next baby though. Can you use eBay cheapies on newborns :/ they look really large lol. and can't believe hpw expensive totsbots and the like are! I know it's cheap in comparison to the overal cost of disposables but still...

Also want to BF this time too.

How did first day of potty training go with Hollie? We started 'nappy off time' at about 14 months. Once he grasped the concept he rarely had an accident at home as long as he had no trousers on lol. But it took until he was 18 months until he could hold 1hr+ to go into pants out of the house and was fully 'potty trained' by 19m though. It sounds soo long but it wasn't hard work at all it was just waiting for him to be ready lol

I didn't babywear either but want some kind of carrier this time.

 

[emmylou92]

Yeah, for cloth, most of hollies trousers dont fit over them, but since we are potty trainging, they will keep her little legs warm when she has no nappy on.

She woud never wear them out if you know what i mean.

 

[leoniebabey]

ahh alright i understand it now, makes sence now you've explained it.

 

[Bexxx]

I just use baby legs for in the carrier, like underneath trousers, keeps her legs warm since they are hanging out. Also, when changing nappies in the house you don't need to take anything off

Hope the po

The ebay cheapys will do from about 10lbs. They are abit big. Same with the tots bots easy fit. Im getting a pack of their tiny baby. 5 for £35 in tesco. You can get them online at tesco too.

As for the potty training. She did one poo on it yday and one poo and one wee today, but thats nappy off time and we are watching her seeing when she is getting ready and popping her on the potty. I think after a week or so she will work out whats happening. She is very aware when she is weeing and pooing though.

Just bought 3 cloth nappies to try! So excited, hope we get on with them
