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!

May get deleted if I post about my own site as seen as advertising - the others know who I am!

dont mind the colour, impressed with the size as well.

will be adding it to my list of things to get in a few weeks when finances have settled following babies appearance

i was supposed to be buying a LL and wrap off someone, can find the post now.. help me out

includes a wrap too i think

Thanks for the help.

I hadn't thought about Motherease Onesize being too thin later on. At the moment I'm so set on the first year or so .

I've had a look at totsbots site now. The bamboozles and flexitots look easy to use and quite slim fitting.

JennyPenny22 thanks for the offer, but I'm going to keep researching for the moment. Baby's not due till November, so I've got some time still! I may come back to you later on though.

If you were going to use bamboozles or flexitots which wrap would you use?

my new baboo sandys here!!! how many prewashes?? and should i dry between?? or just wash, wash, wash?

I would use flexitots, sorry to butt in.

oops a flexi wrap.

cies if i were you, boring as it seems, i would REALLY get one or two of a bunch of types and trial them all until baby puts weight on and you need the next sizes. THEN bulk buy your favourites.

this is my third child in cloth, yet i am doing this still as you dont know what will fit your child as they fit diff body types differently iuswim?

i have muslins, terries, tots bots bamboo and cotton, LL microfibre and cotton, some BTP pockets, some sized pockets, MEOS, smart nappies, and a few random ones i forget till i raid the box.

for wraps, motherease are realible but boring, WN are supposed to be good wraps, i like cotton bottoms and tots bots

HTH

Don't worry about butting in ellielou02, I need all the help I can get! Why would you go for flexitots?

rus, some ppl say dry others say dont bother.
oooh sandys! drools

am i buying the LL off you?

That's interesting TheNatty.

Final question from me, I promise .

At what age would a baby typically go from size ones to size twos? (Can you tell I'm a first time mum?)

err different per nappy. i THINK its about 4 months.. depends on the baby as well i suppose. i have fat babies so they dont do mine that long

cies IM very short experience of using cloth they are quite a thirsty nappy and not too bulky.

oh and buy second hand size small sizes, cos u can resell them for pretty much what you paid. therefore they have cost you nothing, and you get to work out your favourite type
if u wanted new nappies save it for buying the next size as baby will be in next size for ALOT longer (typically about 2 years)

Thanks for all the help.

My DD went to size 2 at 7 months.

result then 7 months worth of nappies for free or very little money!
hope my new lo stays little enough for longer this time

I have size 1 & 2 flexitots for sale

My dd4 is 8mo and still in size 1's.

my 11 moths old just going into size 2

sandys has 2 washes and on 1st (tumble) dry- will that do??

She not big enough for them really but i cant wsit- hope i like them now

4 what sizings flexitot??? may get 1 to try

NEEDED!!!!!! wraps desperately to fit over sandys popper ones and pretty!

Rusmum-I have both size 1 and size 2's, i should imagine your dd would need size 2.
I still have the large tiddlebums wrap.

remind me of tiddlebums? will take a flexitot to try- if i like it will buy more. lol

green one in this piccy

thats sweet- how much you after?

£3.50 delivered as the 1st popper on one side wont snap but there are loads more that do so it can still be used perfectly well

Morning ladies. Just doing a catch up

Had a slight fit of buying some new nappies this weekend (always a bad move and the credit card is still in shock!). You know how it goes...you see something, then something else, and before you know it you've spent a small fortune.

Anyhoo, I've bought some more Sandy's in the large size as she grew out of the small and the mediums I had. New rainbow colours too from LGE website. Have the Motherease BTP in the rainbow already. They are so lovely the colours

Oh, and I bought an Itti Bitti to try. Never used these before. I'm thinking that they're similar to the Bumgenius I already use as they're an AIO. Am I right?

FWIW you ladies that have bought the M/ease BTP, I've used them since K was born but now she's older, I put in a snap in liner for a bit extra absorbency and at night a bamboo insert. Never had a leak yet
