Disposable liners... HELP!

[flamey]

Only ever used fleece... DS has started reacting to it so I have changed him to disposable liners - changed first nappy and it was all up him bum and in his bits

What did I do wrong?

Hmm , not sure, what type did you use? Have to say I don't bother with liners at all but have used them in the past with no problem.

I dunno... the cheapest from babykind - I need liners he, does treacle style poo

use nappy cream and stick it to his bum with that - exactly where you want it. Then put the nappy on.

don't try and tuck it in side teh nappy, its OK to have paper liner sticking out, just tuck it all in teh wrap.

Ah - will do that then Uni

Amazed how I can know so many pointless nappy facts and yet not how to work a paper liner

I have never had much luck with paper liners , they ended up all scrunched up like paper mache and caused leaks if left sticking out of the nappy (we tried cotton bottoms ones). The paper didn't seem to help DS' eczema anyway and I'm not sure that I would like paper next to my bum all day, so we went back to fleece which I find to be less hassle.

I can't think of any other alternative to paper or fleece liners - you would have thought someone must have come up with one somewhere!!

Silk are perfect on him - but cost a fortune.

He has started getting crator-like sores and speaking to a couple of other people the consensus is that once they stopped fleece, sores like that went away.

I like silk but not the handwashing when DS has one of his 'poo-splosions' . There are different types of fleece aren't there - isn't sherpa fleece made from wool? Do you think that would work like the polyester fleece (or am I being stupid (again))

Not a clue! Although it sounds pricey. I don't handwash my silk liners - can't be arsed. They do fine in a 60 wash

40 mistyped!!

I did wash mine at 40 but they all shrank

I don't remember what size mine started

Its funny been using cloth for nearly 2 years and I don't really know how to use paper liners properly either y'know - they don't come with any instructions. Is there a 'right way up', for instance?

I assume not

I used to have problems with one brand of flushable liner PHP or PSP which ever ones were easily available in my tescos. I went to a proper nappy shop and they explained they were the wrong size for the nappies I was using (motherease). I'm currently using popolini ones which work way better as they are big enough to just pop out the edges so stay put. they also work just fine in Bamboozles & Fluffles.
I also wash them when they are just wet and they go through a 40 wash just fine.

Only used the disp liners with DD when she was tiny, not using any with DS2 as can't be faffed so not sure what is good for a moving baby. Flamey, pardon my ignorance but if you were washing the fleece liner anyay does it make a difference whether you use one or was it there to protect his bum from the "treacle" poo?

How abot the geobel/bamineo ones, Cath and Cathy told me they are sized to fit in a nappy so they don't hang outside it or neeed folding? or what about the motherease washable stay dry liners?

I buy quite expensive liners from Little Green Earthlets but they work really well. However, I wouldn't use them full time, as they work out at about 4p each - nearly as much as disposables!

My DS1 doesn't get on with fleece liners, so we use cloth ones instead. They're just made from cut up flannelette sheet, (I know I've spelt that wrong! ), similar to cot sheets. They work a treat. I think the fleece heats his bum up too much or something.

It comes off the fleece a lot easier than it does in amongst the loops of terry

I need to try out Cathy's ones - they do sound really good!

The cut up sheet could work too... again, not all the loops in the fibre
