Cloth nappy newbies - hows it going...?

Dd is 9 months old and we switched to cloth nappies about 3 weeks ago and so far i think its fab. i've bought 6 nappies - 3 meos, a bamboozle, a ellas house bumhugger and a kissaluvs colours. My definate fave is the bamboozle Smile. Next I'm contemplating a heiny hugger and maybe a wool wrap....

Just wondered how the other nappy newbies were getting on and your loves/hates so far?

It is fine - wam-bamboo (like bamboozle but slightly cheaper) and booster does my 4 month old DS and my 3 yr old DD (who wees for England) fine.

DD soaks through most dispicables at night.

Agree with Flame and Expat. DD is in a Bamboozle + Woollywrap at night and not had any leaks/wetness yet.

I won some woollywrap longies off ebay last week, and they are sooo nice! I thought he'd cook in them in this heat, but his legs are actually staying cool, and he's all snuggly to cuddle

I was a dedicated airflow girl until about a month ago, and since getting my woollywrap and playing with fleece, he has hardly worn his airflows!

Been using bamboozles since DS was born (now 5 months) and find them great. Going away for a couple of days and had to buy some disposables. I've turned into a nut about it and absolutely hate the thought of adding to the nappy mountain.
I was told that if you don't have any boosters, fold up a muslin square and use that between the nappy and the liner to give you a bit extra.

Flamesparrow · 05/07/2006 22:43

I always used to use a muslin square for DD. I had some spare pennies from selling off some old nappies, so bought some mother of eden boosters which I love to bits now. Those, or microfibre cloths for £1 from tesco are great (as long as you have a fleece liner on them or they dry DS's skin too much)

just bought 2 slinki minkis,
a huggle,a mother ease sandy, ellas house hemp, a minki waffle and 3 air flow mE wraps! now have nappy buying guilt! there far to addictive. But i do need to start using them over night so i suppose i can justify the huggle and an extra wrap to put over it

A wise MNer turned me on to using microfibre cloths as booster. Got 'em 3 for £2.49 in Lidl and they work a treat!

She's got two Bamboozles for nights that I use w/a Rikki wrap - those seem to fit her best.

Gonna have to sell off a few unused/slightly used - NO stains - nappies and wraps here so I can get her another wrap.

kittykins have got some lovely new wraps in... Wacky Wraps

BonyM · 06/07/2006 13:16

Ooh, Flame, I was just looking at those wraps - am seriously tempted but I have 2 Woollywraps, 2 Couche wraps and 3 Rikkis so don't think I can justify any more...

Flamesparrow · 06/07/2006 13:32

Same here... soon will have 3 variations of woolly, another wool one, fleece cuddle monster, fleece welsh, fleece tots (although that could be sold soon), couche and 2 airflow...

I am considering selling my couche though, so maybe that plus the red wrap could buy me a wacky wrap????

BonyM · 07/07/2006 13:31

Have just ordered one . P'raps I'll sell my Rikkis...
