cloth mums do u have a type of trousers u prefer

[babyjjbaby]

if we are not going out or not very far i tend to put him in jogging botoms or something soft cos i find jeans such a hassle to get on and off and they are so stiff am i the only mad one

no, not at all. I couldn't stand jeans on ds until he was about 18 months-2 yrs and only then if I found softish denims from somewhere like h&m which tend to be nice and generous in the cut.
ds2 is always in soft trousers or dungarees

oh glad it is not just me then i do put him in jeans but only if we are going out assuch cos when i change him i take evrything bar his tshirt off i take his jumpers of cos i find they egt in the way

Babyjj - he's only little though isn't he?

I don't like denim for little ones either. A lot of my DCs clothes (for 'a lot' read 'all') are second hand and that extra usage seems to make the denim softer. DDs were in dungies for a long time which are fab for cloth. For my DS (currently wriggly bump), I have joggers, rompers and soft cord. Boys clothes tend to be better cut for cloth too it seems.

i can never find any nice trousers for him in 6-9mths

im licky have a girl and tights are stretchy they fit over the biggest nappie xx have no luck what so ever with trousers and girls are cut even smaller than boys i did get her a couple boys pairs from next in a size bigger than she is and they fit ok x

It's really easy to make your own you know

BigBadMouse do u know here i can get him real nice ones from if ic ould send u a phot i would send u a pic of his trousers but u can only put a pic on for sale can't u

tesco and h&m do nice trousers that are usually cut nice and big.
otherwise have you looked at places like tinkertogs or cut4cloth?
twinkleontheweb.co.uk do a lot of cloth nappy clothes too

no i han't i want some like nice joggers really i dunno nothing stiff

Ah, well my boy will mainly be dressed by 'local charity shop'. He's not due yet and I just pop in and have a look at what is on the shelves - anything that looks big enough gets bought...have no idea what shape he might be - could go either way, very long and thin or very, very stocky like his dad so I'm covering all bases

There was athread on here a little while ago on this topic here is a link to it.

hth (more of an 'expert ()' on girly cloth bummed clothes tbh, DC3 = DS1 you see)

My 18 month old DS is still wearing his 6-9 months Tesco trousers . He's not in cloth anymore, but that shows you how generous the cut is.

Asda's, on the other hand, are made for really skinny babes IME. They were a tight fit even over disposables IIRC.

Twinkle - my DD is the same, she is still in that size at 20 months (without her cloth bum they fall off . They used to do fab 'value' baby/ toddler jeans for £1.50, soft but last for ages...not seen them for a while though

babyyjjbaby - I have cut4cloth trousers and jogging bottoms (Gap) for my ds as standard - we don;t do jeans - they look so uncomfy

Cut4Cloth have a sale on at the moment - may be worth a look there. I would offer you mine but the biggest are 3-6 months.

Will post the bag in morning

thanks what have u got in 3-6mths have they got quit long legs

cut 4 cloth are expensive better stick to asda and tesco

They are expensive - but the sale is good.

I will chuck in a pair of 3-6 cream anyway - they have done the rounds a bit - no charge - just send them back if too small and will rehome them elsewhere!

Next and H&M I find are good and not too pricey.
Don't like jeans over cloth nappies, bit of a nightmare to get on and off!
If you bung a wanted ad up am sure you will get some replies.
I do have some jersey joggers spare in 6-9 but would rather not discuss on this board as I know folk are keen to keep buying and selling on the right board.

Octo - that sale is pretty good isn't it? ...I got all the way to the checkout then my conscience got the better of me - DAMN!

C4C do last though Babyjj and they have a good resale value - dungies for £10 on there and shorts for £5 atm - limited stock though so might not all be available in the size you want.

Did you buy anything BBM?

I am tempted!

x post

Will take a peek tomorrow!

Someone stop me from going back!!

dungarees. also useful for when they start walking and keep treading on their trousers and losing them.
