just had a sort out and want to sell some

here

i have got 14 terry squares 10 little ewes 1 prefold 3 tots bots 1 mothercare smart nappywhatever is in nappy buckett and 2 nappy boxs full at the caravan serious nappy addict lol thats without the stuff which i am selling

OH MY GOD!!!! LOL

rigth come on who has got the most nappies dread tot hink how many i have got at the caravan

i can see how they can become addictive though. i just starting!! LOL

hehe desperate to sell the ones i have put on here trying to get some money uptogether might sel 3 or4 of the little ewes aswell

I have my Modern Baby ones - old style, shaped nappy & wrap.

I thought I could sell them in packs of 5 nappies, + newborn wrap + small wrap.
£35 sound ok?

You can use the nappy longer by putting the 's' wrap on it as baby grows.
My thinking was that's a day's worth of nappies and you don't need to change the wrap.
They're good, have a built in fleece liner so baby is dry to the touch. I found they contained everything well - leaks were rare.

Mint condition, and they're cute - gingham. I have every colour except pink.
I have lots and lots of these nappies! Name your number!

Hard sell or what?

LOL

problem is I dont know what i want/need.. there are so many. i didnt realise it was so confusing. LOL will they be too small for dd (11.5lb)

Essie ps not sure what a modern baby is!!!!!

Why don't you try one or two of each and see how you get on? All the nappies you've been offered might not end up being your all-time favourint, but are reliable enough.

modern baby

Ceolas sounds like a good plan!!!!!

are they all in ones (no wrap??) ceolas

i wouldn't stick to one type of nappy cos even when u only have the ones u like u will probably end up wanting different nappies for different times

the modern baby nappies? No you need a wrap, but essie is selling them too.

Size 1s of any type will usually last until about 8/9 months at least. My DD has just grown out of her size 1 bimbles at 12 months but she's a bit titchy!

wow it's been chatty here. Just popping in to say Hi so it's further up my list.

I have a stinking cold and feel bloody miserable and can't take anything for it....paracetomol just doesn't cut it somehow.

just over 5 weeks to go till my EDD....yikes. but I got all my newborn nappies out of the attic and have been cooing over them.

hope the new babies are doing well; the mad feeding will be the 3weeks growth spurt. Just keep repeating the mantra "this too shall pass". It should all settle down in a few more weeks and then you can get into some sort of routine

Welcome back BBM; you have been missed

so basically - i need 15 (ish) nappies of different types (3 of 5 types??)

Do I need wraps as have cottn bottoms and just ordered 3 rikkis!!

rikis are very good wraps i like airflow the cotton bottoms wraps u would probably have to use the large size on a shaped nappy

it gets more confusing by the day!! lol

Even 3 rikkis should be enough to juggle. I wouldn't buy any more wraps just now. Have you looked on usednappies? Like ebay for second hand nappies. You can usually get one or two of a particular type.

My local waitrose is getting rid of all there real nappies so I've managed to pick up loads of wraps for friends (and me) for next to nothing. Airflow wraps for £2.50!!!

Thanks Ceolas for filling in!

Rusmum I'd say 20 nappies minimum - in this house it's averaging 5 a day, and I don't want to wash every day (besides I'd then be running a machine half full). I use bamboo nappies which take longer to dry and I've just bought some more because I live in Wales...
Daisy welcome back and the nappies came yesterday, thanks! They are in beautiful condition!

With wraps, depends what kinds of nappies you have. I used 1 wrap per day with the Modern Baby ones.

If I were you I'd try a few of a cotton nappy like Little Lambs, Tots Bots or Easy Peasy Bimbles. I think they're all pretty reliable and effectively just shaped terry nappies. They'll all work well with your wraps too.

If you want to try bamboo there's Bambinex, Tots Bots Bamboozles and Little Lamb and Easy Peasy also do them.

There are other fabrics like microfibre and hemp, but probably not worth worrying about just now.
