DS is 9 weeks, and in cloth for day and disposables for night. Got our yummy new Fluffle today, and it looks great - but NO chance of it fitting under his clothes, they're stretched as it is with less bulky shaped/terry nappies! Thing is, we're really on a tight budget, and although the cloth nappies will save us some cash in the long run, are all those savings gonna be eaten up by the fact I have to spnd more on baby clothes to get ones that fit? (we've been dressing him in Tescos finest, which just doesn't fit well over a cloth bum). So where can i get CHEAP cloth bum clothes?

someone more knowledgeable will come along soon but thought I'd say that Tesco's stuff ime is cut narrower than Asda's, which is, no doubt, cheaper than cut4cloth. worth having a look?

Jus buy a size bigger and roll up the arms if you need to. I have never realy had a prob, do use quite a lot of C4C but also M&S and Next sleepsuits

woolies sleepsuits always fitted over dd's all in one cloth nappies (can't think for the life of me the make!). found most of woolies things to be very generous, dd is 3.5 now and still fits cardis aged 12-18mths!

Interested in this thread?

I second woolies as they are huge!!
I bought some legging style trousers for dd3 from ethel austin for 75p and they are a fantastic fit! They did have a boys version too.

Not babygros, but generally dungarees are a very good style of clothes for fitting over cloth bottom. In terms of babygros DS wore quite a few Mothercare ones and we didn't have a problem with those.

Tesco do some soft dungaree-style things (well they did last time I was in) and they fit really well. fluffles are part. huge though so no wonder nothing fits! I use them as night nappies with pjs/babygrows the next size up.
I did find tesco babygrow's too small though, boots, mothercare, next, m&S all fine (next in part. are lovely and bright colours). What about a bulk load on ebay in the next size up or on mumsnet - babygrows often don't see much wear. The other store I would avoid for babygrows is Sainsbury's as they don't have enough poppers to fit properly round a cloth bum, they were awful! Although I did buy some great jeans for ds2 last week there (he's 14 mo).
H&M also great for cloth-fitting clothes, even the baby trousers have adjustable waists and they're all cut quite wide.

I find Tesco's babygrows are very narrow fitting. The most recent ones I bought from Next in 9-12 months were absolutely huge - DD is 18 months old and they're still really baggy and fine lengthways too.
