General Chat Thread For Cloth Users-PART 9 how we are dressing our itti bitti baby behinds

[4andnotout]

New thread as the other was running out!

ditto 4!
we boosted them as well from a year, and they STILL only did us 18months. switched to pockets and never looked back and i can boost to the extreme (3 easy peasy hemp and a bamboo insert atm!)

octo these wet bags look good, i havent heard of them, how much are the XL? do you have a site of your own then? sorry not been on here much lately

BBH for £3 each??!!??! VERY . So no it was not me, unfortuantly. If I had seen them I would have snapped them up though!

I like MEOS as far as cotton nappies go. Although they are very bulky on a new baby. They still fit Elouise fine though at 18 months and will last about 3 hours on her. She isn't a heavy wetter nowadays though. People seem to either love them or hate them! I have some old ones that are not looking too great (stains etc) but are perfectly functional, that I could sell you for £1 each plus postage for you to try? Don't worry if you are not interested as we do still use them as our backup nappies but we try not to use cotton nappies as our water is very hard and they don't go very soft.

How old is your baby?

Bamboo nappies are more absorbant but slower to dry and a bit more expensive to buy.

Elouise didn't get up till around 10.30am. She gets up anytime from around 6.30am onwards, but on avaerage I guess about 8am but she varies rediuclously. Still on funny times from camping though.

She slept brilliantly in the tent, but didn't sleep much in the day as it was so hot and she would just go to bed at what ever time rather than having a "bedtime" like she does here, so she is catching up on sleep really.

It amazes me how much it varies to what people find works and what doesnt. Pockets don't last more than 2 hours on ELouise - if I add more boosting then it gapes at the legs. Yet MEOS we can get 3 hours out of with no problems. Would last 4 if I let it get drenched I recon.

It is also strange how babies change as they grow, we went through a period of getting loads of leaks from dd3 when she was 13 months wearing itti's but now we never seem to get any leaks.

I have just looked at some of my wipes and some of them are in a right sorry state, im feeling an urge to buy some pretty fleece ones

Elouise just gave me a lump of poo from her nappy . I can only assume it came from the nappy she was wearing - can't think of where else she could have got it from! But I can't work out how she got it out. She was wearing a nippa clwt twt so was well fitting and then some puddlepants longies over the top, which have good strong elastic round the waist so quite difficult for her to get her hand it???

Aww what a lovely gift for you

The elastic on dd3's lime itti has gone and poo nuggets rolled out of the gap i had to try and stop the dog eating them, dd3 walking in them and dd4 grabbing them!

LOL at poo nuggets

Well, dd is in tots bots . They are the coloured ones, i have 5 plastic wraps and one fleece one, though think i may find more fleece wraps as i have heard they are better for night?

I pick up the new baby's set on saturday, just waiting for my itti bitti's to come (i got 2 for £25 - purple and tiger)

The purple is probably my favorite itti colour

Had a royal blue arrive today and i haven't even taken the cardboard off it yet

Does anyone remember a thread on MN with perfectly square poo nuggets at the supermarket checkout? They had been cubed by the trolley mesh...

I think it is in classics

I have two woolly Sugar Peas wraps lanolising.

I also have to buy a bucket and mesh bag on Saturday, plus are washable liners any better than the flushable ones? The pack came with flushable roll of them.

The itti bitti's colours are lovely i would like a polka dot, but don't know what sex this baby is yet!

I have the pink polka dots and they are lovely

I find paper liners a bit scrunchy on their bums so use fleece liners overnight in their baby beehinds, the ittis i don't use liners in

I find fleece liners make my DSs' bums go bright red - tried several different ones. While DS3 is small I'm not bothering with liners at all. He is five months old now.

I usually forget to put a liner in . I try to remember to use fleece in DD2s nappies as she doesnt like to feel wet.

OK i will some fleece ones to try.

Natty - the XL are really big and are £19. Have a pod posey and clementine boho in stock.

Scorps - bummis liners are the only really soft liners - very different to all the others. Fleece are good if you are going to wash them. You can buy them from me or through the teamlollipop website in classifieds.

you can chop up and old blanket to trial fleece, it doesnt have to be a special type of fleece or anything.
i bought 5m of fleece on ebay and cut it up into liners and wipes, tho i dont use them in pockets i use paper.

will use fleece in new babys two parters to keep him dry as using a mix of muslins, totbots, LL and terrys.

octo whats your website? fancy one of them, do you think an XL one would do a days nappies for two kids (one in pockets one in a mixture) would prob wanna put a days worth of newborn bibs in there too

Has anyone seen this tots bots

is that really for just two nappies????? and how can the RRP ever have been £39.14?

if u type in tots bots and scroll down to 70% off there are loads! wraps and nappies both nippa and velcro. size 1 &2!!
good find ellie!

swamp i think its for 5.. but they are SIZE 2.

i think...

I have 5 size 1 new of those. Is that really £16.99 for 5??? Wow!

Yes the big bag would hold nappies for two in cloth for a day - my site is called NappyWardrobe. I only have pod posey and clem boho in stock in XL though.
