Sounds like you're doing great hun and Maddi looks soooo cute in her nappies!

I have BB's and Itti's too but also have a Bum Genius and a Bambinex teddy AIO too. I think my fav's are the Itti's because they're a lot cheaper than BB's but I love the BB's too. Also the inserts for the Itti's take ages to dry Oh the choices we have!!!!!!!!!!

I was up in your neck of the woods last week - damn M25 yesterday was a total nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i no the bloody m25 is an absolute pain in ass! we don't use it too often - we generally use the a12 - but its a bloody pain

yep i feel exactly the same about bb's vs itti's - itti's are gorgeous and cheaper, but take ages too dry - as i wash at night and hang out to dry ready for morning, sometimes i have to pop in the tumble drier but i too love em! am def going to look at trying another brand now, been looking at BG and i'm off too google Bambinex teddy AIO now too

 

[lauriech]

The A12 was fine - no problems at all but I basically have to use the M25 to get back. I so wished I owned a sat nav yesterday so I couldn've been directed off another way as I sat on the M25 in traffic for two hours

I like the softness of the Bambinex teddies but they quite high rise and fairly bulky but they look so cute for babies being white I think you just have to try them and see how you get on.

I'm starting to prefer nappies with poppers for some reason. The hook & loop/velcro types I'm not as keen on...feel a bit harsh

Lunaty - Thats the only thing with sized nappies, they're a fraction cheaper but then you need to buy new ones for each size. I discovered this with my first nappies - the mio prefolds. So although BG etc are a bit dearer long term the cost may work out a tad cheaper. My only concern with the BG in particular using from birth to potty would be the smell. After some use (3/4 months) my BG's, when they're dirty, but before they go in the wash they have a nasty whiff. I don't just mean like normal dirty nappy smell either. I'm not sure how they would last birth to potty.

PB - Glad the outing went well!

Sparks - sorry your nappies still haven't turned up

Laurie -welcome back!

Melbo - :wave: Love the graphics you've been making!

Me me me!!!!

 

[lauriech]

Sorry hun - I should've said I only want to post to the UK as International postage is mega expensive (unless you want to pay the postage?)

 

[Tiff]

I would've, but it is okay.

 

[thelilbump]

would it be uber confusin if tyff bought the nappy off you, you send it to me and i'll sweet swap with tyff in September and include the nappy in the package? Only problem i can see is that i wouldn't be able to send the pacakge airsure as thats very expensive so we'd have to take our chances through customs but i promise to post it! If thats too difficult though it doesn't matter just trying to help!

 

[lauriech]

It's entirely up to you and Tyff (I have no idea what the postage cost is? )....

Let me know!

Awww, thanks sweetie!!!!

It's okay, I don't want to be too confusing! For the price it would cost to ship I could buy one brand new here. But I really appreciate you offering!

 

[lauriech]

Aww am glad you said that now as I've decided to keep them. I had a think and realised I need to build my stash, not reduce it so bought some matching baby legs and a boyish t-shirt in matching colours so I'm happy now!

So what's going on Wednesday then????
