Hi there,
Have finally place first order of nappiies.
Have some sandys, bamboozles, fluffles and fuzzi bunz on the way. Can't wait for them to arrive {grin}
For a newborn do i need to put in liners for sandys, bamboozles or fluffles? if so which are better IYO fleece or flush?
Also I am sure i read somewhere about mums using microfibre cloths to stuff the fuzzi bunz? is that right?
Thanks again, this forum has made life so much easier :-)

Yes you can use microfibre cloths to stuff the fuzzis.

As for liners - are you planning to breastfeed? Because I found that newborn breastmilk poo goes straight through (or around) the paper liners, and doesn't shake off the fleece ones. So I didn't bother with liners till she was on solids. Ds was formula fed so the paper liners were some use. I used them until he'd been weaned long enough to have the kind of poo that shakes off easily, then switched to fleece.

flease liners or flease lined nappies have the nice side effect of keeping baby's skin dryer as they wick the wee away from the skin and into the terry. You won't notice this in the first week or 3 but once the digestion matures a bit and you get wet not dirty nappies its nice.
DS is 7 wks and its V noticeable now. hes had hardly any nappy rash or redness as his skin stays pretty dry.

OK great thanks ladies. I am planning to breastfeed so maybe no liners then?

for newborn poo then use a fleece liner to wick away moisture from babas bottom, you can't really get poo off them until it is solid then I'd say go for paper liners they are fab cos the keep the nappy pooless!
