WooHoo! I got here first!

Annvan, he is gorgeous. Such a lovely photo; it's making me all broody for my little man now

he must have a pretty forceful wee!

Daisy I think he's a cutie - but I'm totally biased! Check out the latest photo of him in his little duck egg pop in!
AnnVan Sebastian is gorgeous! Iestyn (my DS) is the mini version - only got rid of the last newborn babygro 2 weeks ago - and he's nearly 4 months! He was 6.1 at birth (+ 4...).

Also PMSL at the shite noise CD. I thought you were being ironic!

My God, AnnVan, that's some wee!

so sorry not been ignoring everyone. had the day from hell. thank you all so much for advuie and offers. however i am afraid i will not be buying anything at the mo. DH got made redundant yesterday (hence day from hell) so i cant really justify spending. What a nightmare!! It seems DD (and me) will just have to put up with dreaded cotton bottoms! (Which have leaked twice today - just to make the day that much better)!

Thanks though girls.

Ooooh beautiful babies!

Essie what have you done with the front of the nappy? Folded over in some way?

I can hear a "aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh" chorus over all these cute babies...

EVERYINE any advuce then on how to make best of a bad situation!!!

good head control there from young Iestyn. He is a handsome fellow

I want my baby noooooooooooow!

what's up rusmum?

look up 3 posts!!!!!

need now to work with what i got.

whats wrong rusmum hun

Keep practising with the youtube videos. Lots of people get on well with prefolds. What wraps have you got now?

Rusmum - remind me what wraps you are using...

cotton bottoms ones, 3 totsbots and expecting 3 rikis in post.

so sorry i feel awful!! was looking forward to experimenting too. LOL

Sorry rusmum; I hadn't refreshed the screen and by the time I had your post had disappeared off the bottom of the laptop screen.

Sorry to hear about your DH . I'll post those wraps to you tomorrow though. I haven't used prefolds, but know loads who do with success.

Sometimes you can make the legs more snug by pulling the 'slack' out through the waist after you've fastened the velcro. I do this with a gusseted tots wrap. Does that make any sense?

i think so! ta.

Rikkis might help - have you tried pinning the prefolds?

LACKA thanks!! I am sure there is a way to succeed!!

rusmum - sorry to hear about your DH.

I hated cotton bottmos, but many love them, hope you find the right solution, good luck

sun what you end up using??

What problems did you have?

Have you got nippas, rusmum? Are you fastening them or just folding inside the wrap?

was just folding - nightmare.
not using nippa and fanning out back, still lots of leaks (at legs). not sure if she between sizes of prefold??

Hm, Rusmum, can't really help with the nappies as I've only used 2 types. (I'm still trying to shift my MB ones: I'll reduce the price if you want to make an offer - the nappies are good uns! But it's ok if you can't manage it. It's an awful time, isn't it. (Oh, I'm assuming a banking/financial link for your DH?)

Ceolas yes indeedy, folded down at the front. What you're seeing is the front flap, the one facing you if you lay the nappy down flat, folded over for a tiny baby.
Daisy his head control is quite good - but my friend who has a baby the same size reckons it might be because he's smaller - her baby is bigger with a heavier head!
Do you really want your baby now? He'll come when he's ready. Let's see if I can think of any other cliches!! Do you have a boy already? If not, you'll love it. The pee is amazing.

i think u would be better off using a nippa it might be getting lose round the legs when he is moving maybe
