Yer, its one of the ones you gave me the link too silly

I've been calling him little Moo since he was a baby, so it seemed appropriate to get him a moo print nappy..we've got the cream and brown one too

Yeh I cant use the inserts on their own - I tend to add a bamboo one to it and it works ok then

lol, i dont have the black and white, just the brown and cream, wasnt sure if it was one of your cool wraps, or are you a full time pocketer now x

Not quite full time pocketer lol, still using the normal PUL/fleece wraps at night. If it works why change it eh?!

I have enough money to buy him 1 at the moment. Can you recommend one for a first timer please? Doesn't neccessarily have to be the easiest. I would just prefer I picked one that was recommended than pick one myself to find that it's rubbish. Fanx x

I would say a Blueberry All in One Birth to Potty :-)

Depends on the budget. If you can spare it then yeah a really good one like Lisa says but if you are a bit less flush something like a swaddlebees is meant to be pretty good and slim too. Think if i could spare enough for more than ebay cheapies at the mo its where i'd be looking (she says like she actually needs any more)

i need some more, cant wait to start working i will stock up!! i have itti bittis at min and prefer them over the ebay cheepies, is there any similar to ittis that anybody would recommend cos i want some pretty ones and i think i've exhusted the colours i like on itti lol

mhmmmmm! so this is where the nappy ladies are hiding quick question.....i have a wet bag that came with my nappy bag, now once i have stuffed a couple of bumgeniuses (bumgenii?) in for changes, and put one wet one in the bag, i got no room.

do you ladies find you heave heaps of stuff around? i cant really fathom what it is that i can take out and dont need (hm but i am one of those 'oooh ill take this just in case' ladies, who *always* has what you need haha).

also any thoughts on where i can get a bigger and definitely water/pee proof wet bag that i can fit more than one nappy into?????

cheers in advance ahahaha i only put that there cos its so cute

right girls, i need to know about these ive been wanting to ask for ages but didnt want to come across offensive by asking. but what are they? are they like terry nappies? what are the benefits? id just love to know abit about them xx

hmmm where to start.well yes you can use terrys and wraps, zee has been doing this untill recentley...the ones i use i wouldnt say like terrys really, they dont need folding and many dont need waterproof wraps as a lot have them built in, so basically as easy as a sposie but you wash them and they are wwwwaaayyyy cuter i have some minky ones and all you do is snap in the booster and away you go(a few of the other ladies use these too)
benefits-more economicly friendly
kinder to babys skin
a lot cuter
works out cheaper in the long run(spesh if you buy ebay cheapies )
i love seeing them hanging on the line in the sun(maybe just me being soppy)
you can get personalised ones

hmm anything else you wanna know dont be afraid to ask, thats what were here for xx

so are they like pull ups? or a piece of cloth? what do you fasten them with? and whats a booster? what do you do with them if they have a shat? surelt you dont fling them in the washer soiled?
sorry if i sound thick but as you can probably tell...i havent a clue! x

Im a itti lover, just brought a flip

other half will go nuts x

hey niccsy, im too a big fan of the itti...i also love pocket bots, love them as theyre so slim like the itti and iv found them v reliable, and i like the side snaps on them. they are pockets though, i stuff them with muslins. they come in loads of designs and colours including minky and you get to chose the colour inner and poppers you want
heres the link(also check the preloved and ready made section, they have some right bargins in there sometimes )
http://www.pocket-bots.com/index.htm
the only thing i will say though is they oftern change the material so they may have something one time you go on then something else the next time, they dont have many minky in atm, they did last week though x

wow niccsy check these minkys from pocket bots out soon

most are like the shape of normal nappies, with poppers or velcro fastening
a booster is like the pad you put in to soak up the wee but you can also get all in one so no need top add anything...you can also get disposable liners to catch the poo, just fling it down the loo, or fleece washable ones and the poo just goes down the loo if they do have a bit still on i just soak them befor they go in the washer but tbh the liners are usually ok at catching it x

katie these are the ones i use - you put a bamboo liner into a little pocket inside (included) and this is the absorbant bit - if the nappy is just a wee nappy you can change the liner and keep the same nappy on unless its really heavily wet then you change the whole thing the whole thing goes in the washing machine and drys pretty quickly:

What do you think of the Flip?

I got one on offer at the Baby Show with both inserts - it does to be fair work quite well but i really don't like the design - especially for a wriggly toddler I find the inserts move before I get time to fasten it on! I only us it at night and it dos a good job.

Well today I made some of my cheap pockets into All in 2s !

I had already stitched 2 a bamboo and a microfibre insert together on one end, so then I put resin snaps on that and the back of the nappy and hey presto All in 2!

I HATE stuffing pockets so this is fab for me!

I also made an extra bamboo velour topped insert with bamboo terry which fits in all my WN Custom AI2s - cos their extra insert sets are quite expensive! SO I'll try it out and probably make some more.

£240 id want them to last forever at that price. omg....i couldnt justify spending all that at once the catch shat. i cant believe it. i dont know how much i was expecting them to cost but i nearly fell off my chair what i seen that, i had to look a few times to check my eyes werent playing tricks on me honest im gobsmacked xx

but think of how much you spend on disposables! Especially for people like me, we bought a few at a time during my pregnancy and in sales and things, and will do Elijah and any other babies we might have so it actually works out fine

So for 240 u get everything u need and they will last forever? X

yep...you can also go for cheaper ones, i use cheapy ebay ones too and you can get like 15 for under £100 and theyre birth to potty x

infact the cute minky ones i have are like 3 for £15 so for 16 would be like £90 really good
all just depends on what brand you go for x

Ah i see. So how many do you need? X
