sorry hun the only wraps i used were popolini which are the same as motherease but i dunno which sorry hun!!!! i sometimes tuck the wrap uo the legs of the terry a little bit n that will give a bit more freedom? what wraps are you using at the moment??

I bought some from nappy elite, their own brand I think, I guess you get what you pay for, they were only cheap!

I'm going to buy and try a couple of different ones and see how they go.

I think it's all trial and error but other than the naughty baby nappies which I like, it seems to be more error at the moment!

 

[saraendepity]

lol it takes time and practice to find out what works for you and your LO ! if you have ANY questions please dont hesitate to ask

[Faerie]

Yeah, me too... Miguel has no idea!! Thank goodness for my UK bank account

So I just gave Sofia her 10pm feed and heard her poop, opened up the nappy and there wasn't much poop, and it had only gone on the night booster. I took it out and not only was the liner underneath not damp but the other side of the booster wasn't even damp! This is after just over 4 hours. I've put in a LL liner and kept the nappy on her.

 

[saraendepity]

dont'cha just love cloth!! - if that was a sposie you'd ahev ahd to do a full change!!!1!

what are you using overnight hun ??

 

[Faerie]

Oh, sorry, this is the Gro Baby

So far I really love this nappy (incase you couldn't tell ) the only downside is that if you don't have a tumble dryer the liner takes at least 24hrs to line dry so at least 2 liners per shell needed. I guess that's why they're so absorbent though.

If we do go to the US and you want me to get you one let me know - they're about £15 there compared to £22 in Europe.

 

[saraendepity]

ooh they sound fab!!!! let me no if you do go and dont mind picking me up a couple!!!
yeh i agree about the really absorbant ones taking ages to dry!!! my pop in takes forever to line dry if i dont wanna use the tumbler but i suppose thats the sacrifice for no leaks!!lol

[Faerie]

Yeah, the pop-in and gro baby take the same time to dry, though the gro baby shell dries quicker, almost instantly. Plus the gro baby liner stays nice and soft when line dried, it's like a little padded cushion although the overall nappy is trimmer than the pop-in.

oew oew if someone is heading over to tthe US def get me 3 too!!!!
i still havent had an awnser from the place that sells them here..

Oww and i received my BG organic today!!! With the wipes bucket...
Wipes are lovely colors but quite thin.. (only 1 layer) and the bucket quite small.. which i guess is a good thing.. but i ma need to buy myself some extra thick wipes..

[Lunaty]

Hey Sara!
jup the cold is gone :thumbsup: just a nasty rendezvous with the dentist in half an hour grr...

yeah it's a good idea to make my own wipes, i dont have a sewing machine at the moment an dont know anyone who has.. ?! Maybe the MIL?!

there is a hobby shop not to far from here with fabric, i may have a quick look hehe
i need to do a shopping trip soon anyway, i need to get my hospital bag packed and dont have any PJ's etc..

I need those Gro baby's now! GOt reply back they are back in stock in 10 days...
They cost $40,- here so not as bad as i thought but the US is still 10$ cheaper i think..

 

[Babyshambelle]

Hi girls!! How is everyone today??

Has anyone ever ordered naughty babies from ebay? I ordered 3 on the 21st and I still haven't had them, despite the fact it says 'from uk' and I got an email from them saying to expect them in 1-2 days!

Another question about fleece. Is it my washing machine that really churns fleece up, or does it happen to everyone? I always make sure that velcro is stuck to the laundry tabs etc, but every time I get my nappies out, the fleece seems more bobbly each time. Any tips/advice? xxx

 

[saraendepity]

i ordered from naughty babies twice, the first time they came the next day!!!!! the second time they took a week and a half!!! dunno whats going on there?? i cant comment about fleece liners hun as i dont use em but i'm sure someone will be along very soon
