So I have a mission. My sister is having DC3 next week and is keen to try washable nappies for the first time. She lives in France, where it's not exactly common for people to use washables, so has no friends who can lend her ones to try, or friendly shops who can advise her.
I have promised as her baby present to do her a trial pack of different kinds of washables, so she can try them all out and decide which ones she likes, and then order on the internet. So the question is...which nappies to include in the pack?
Criteria as follows:
- must dry reasonably quickly, as they live in a flat with only a balcony for outside drying, and no tumble drier
- must be very simple to use, as her DH is not that keen, so anything complex and he'll just refuse to use them. So not too much stuffing/assembling/folding involved
- must be slimline, for the same DH type reason
We tend not to have particularly chubby babies in our family, so something that will fit a baby with slender limbs would be best. The baby is a boy.
I use Fluffles with Motherease wraps and Itti Bittis, so am thinking of sending her an Itti Bitti and something with a Motherease wrap for sure. But what else? All in Ones, pockets, stuffables?
Give me your wisdom, o nappy ladies!
