I wouldn't bother with muslins for Ollie - they are really only good for newborns

I could do you a good deal on some bamboo ones if you like, cos I make them and they work REALLY well!

Oooh yes please! Is that what you use for Izzy cos I remember reading that she pees A LOT! So does Ollie especially throughout the night.

Yes she pees LOADS!!!

How many do you want? I'll work out how much material it uses and just base it on the material price which shouldnt be much

Right, the price of the bamboo works out as 35p per layer for a regular pocket nappy insert size

I would say stuffing a pocket nappy with 8 layers is a pretty good absorbency for the day, that would be made of 1 long insert that folds in half (as any more than 4 layers and it takes too long to dry)

So that would be £2.80 per nappy (that is a good price cos these Little Lamb Boosters on Ebay are really thin, I have them and would need 4 of them in a nappy which would be £5.80!)

I can make one up and pop it in the post for you to try first if you like - check its thick enough for him!

Sounds good! Yeah if I could test the one out with my new nappy that would be great thanks Do you want paying by paypal? x

Yeh thats best - I'll let you know when its ready and you can pay then x

lisa, would you be able to make me some/price some up for me please??
its for my pocketbots and they are quite slim like the itti x

Let me know the size Gem, as in width and length

Oh btw got my mama pack and it rocks, might actually order a 2nd one

Glad you like it! I was going to get one for my friend but she popped 2 weeks early before I had ordered it!

hay guys just wondered, where do you guys get your flushable liners from if you use them?!
i ordered some off ebay a while back and they are great but im running out and the shop isn't there any more.
i ordered some from ac_kids_link first off and they were absoloutly awful, like tracing paper so i dont want them ones again!

We used the PHP-one way liners (100's) or the Mioliners (160's) both from mothercare (before we switched to reusable liners)

We did use Boot's for a bit but not flushable and used to move about - not ideal poo catchers

ah we dont have any babies shops in town so it has to be bought online - and places like mothercare with a £5-6 delivery charge make it wayyyy to expensive!

I dont use the flushables, I use fleece, but I have a couple of rolls of flushables that came from Boots - I dont like it tbh

Thats one of the reasons I switched to fleece liners, we have a mothercare and boots, but its very rare I went into town tbh and the bus fare was as much as the delivery So I thought frig it, and switched to fleece..so much easier

A lot of the baby stores have a minimum of £4 delivery, so just for liners you may be better buying in bulk.
Or try ebay - some have free delivery

hmm fleece you say - would it be any good with bf poops? does it make little bums and bits sweaty? what temperature do you wash it at? haha

I'm sure they'd be fine with BF poo's. Oliver has the odd runny poo's and we've never had no probs, I just swill down the loo or if i'm lazy just soak..more solid poo's just go straight down the loo, then liner goes in with the mucky nappies.

As for sweaty bits etc, no. They keep/lock all the moisture aways from their bits and bum and can't say weve had any sore botty's since using them

I wash them with the nappies at 40/50C

Also, they don't stain and prevent staining to the nappy too.

I agree with Zee - fleece allows the moisture through and keeps bums dry - Izzy can have a sodden nappy and her bum is still dry!

She so rarely even has a pink bum now, in the last few months she has maybe worn 3 disposables, and each and every time she has got a rash - the spots too within a couple of hours! Bung a cloth nappy on and it goes away!

You can wash the flushable liners you know. Im such a tight ass

hi *waves*
can i join. bump due this weekend although she isnt showing any signs of moving. grrrhhhhh - i have a big box of fluff just waiting on her & i have 5 teenyfit tots bots due to be del this week hopefully.

btw for those looking for a bargain, did you know tots bots has an ebay shop selling off seconds for big discount.

jules & bump 39 +2

welcome jules

thanks ladies, I will think about it - when we remember to put a liner in (rarely) it generally doesn't do much cos the poo is so liquid haha Elijah hasn't had any nappy rash ever to date touch wood so obviously the bumgenius are keeping him dry, I like that you can just change the booster and the nappy is still dry...oooh magic!

the liners i have at the moment ae really nice, soft and dont rip and keep her bum really dry! x
