cloth nappy help please

[budge]

i have bee nusing cloth napppies since january and been ok with them.
But lately the wraps don't seem to be very water proof and within an hour or so Baby budge' clothes are soaking wet

I have tried washing the wraps on just a water wash (no detergent) and ive never used conditioner with the nappies ever.

Are you meant to buy fresh wraps every so often or what?

Can anyone advise me

Could the wraps be getting too tight so you are getting compression leaks?
I've used cloth since Thea was born and had that problem once, i bought some bigger wraps and its not happened since.

thanks melanie.
The wraps are size 2 little lambs. Can you get bigger than that.
I reckon you're right.

 

[Melanie]

Try motherease wraps (www.babykind.co.uk) or weenotions wrap (www.weenotions.co.uk)

 

[Minxy]

I find the size 2 too small now.

I agree, try Motherease Airflow. Look a bit bulkier but very reliable

 

[budge]

will i need to but the whole nappy pack again or just the wraps?

thanks for your help

 

[Melanie]

Just the wraps budge, motherease wraps will go over all shaped nappies. They are about £8 each on babykind.

 

[budge]

thankyou. ill order some tomorrow.

 

[budge]

just been looking. Will i need the motherease XL ones then?

 

[Melanie]

what weight is baby budge now?

 

[budge]

ive no idea.

she was 201B at 9 months . Thats the last time she was weighed im afraid.
Shes ten months now.

 

[Melanie]

It says the large should last from 20lbs to 35lbs and the XL from 35lbs and up. Id say get one of each and see which is the best fit before buying a few of them. If you just try it on pver a clean nappy quickly for the fit im pretty sure babykind will swap you if its too small or too big.

 

[budge]

the size two little lambs are meant to be suitable for up to 35IB. so im edging toward getting the XL ones. .... would you?

 

[Melanie]

In that case i probably would go for the larger ones but ask minxy which ones Stanley wears. Thea is tiny so i havent had to chnage from size twos.

 

[budge]

thanks mel!


MINXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY....

 

[Minxy]

Stanley chunk is (I'm guessing) about 30lbs and is in both the large and XL.

I'd go for the XL in Rikki (velcro) as they're smaller or the L in Airflow (popper)

 

[budge]

THAT WAS QUICK!

thankyou both of you!

 

[budge]

are the tots bots wraps any good? they are a quid cheaper than the motherease?

i don't mind spending more though if the motherease are by far better

thanks
