Bambineo Size 2 only lasting 2 hours??

[maveta]

Is this normal? My ds is only 10 weeks old (approx 12lbs) and I do think he´s a bit of a super soaker but still. His bimbles last approx an hour now (!!) so I´m looking at what nappy to move him into as size 2. I have bambineo´s in size 2 but like I say, they only last 2 hours and what´s more his skin is clammy when I take it off (with a fleece liner inside) - is this all I should expect from a cloth nappy? I put him in a fuzzi this morning with the fuzzi insert and small wonderfull booster and it lasted 4 hours. I love cloth but I´m getting pretty discouraged by the amount of boosting he seems to need. Or does this seem normal? Any opinions?

For night he´s already in a bambineo boosted with a bimble and that seems to keep him dry but if this is what he needs at 10 weeks I´m scared to think what he´ll need in a few months...

HELP!

Grim - you posted same time as me :-)

ON your point about urine being sterile and it's poo which is the problem - it's another really important point.

Urine IS sterile, but when passed it creates, by its nature, a warm and wet place where skin bacteria can multiply. However, this isn't normally a problem as the skin is very resilient to this sort of thing. If it mixes with poo it lets off ammonia which will irritate and chafe skin and cause fast skin breakdown (this will happen in any nappy) which is why you often see red patches where poo has sat for a while.

But the technical stuff is essentially irrelevant. The point is that a) you don't, rightly, want a soggy nappy - so boost it. and b) it's important to note that it's not that you need to change cloth more than sposies, but that sposie users should really consider changing sposies as often as cloth users do!

Actually, having done some counting on my fingers it's a little more frequently than 4-5 hours but I do think when you've been using cloth for a bit you change your idea of what constitutes "soaking" and at no cost to your dc's lovely skin.
