Little lamb nappies...any good?

[clarey]

I havent heard much about these but was looking at the microfleece ones as I thought they might be slimmer fitting than cotton, they look kinda similar to the tots bots cotton shape wise I think.
Has anyone used these? Didnt want to hijack the various other nappy threads lol
Thanks x

Thanks will be interested to know, yeah we probably will....I wrote in another post how we are doing a home laundry trial of different shaped ones, they are already much better than the prefolds - actually hold stuff in lol! OH is just concerned about the bulk although we were all 'terry square babies' and we all walk normally I think!

Hope this isnt down to pressure from Lisa's marketing post in babies Health

Love them
Always loved totsbots pre-use but they didn't fit Isaac properly at all, would recommend little lambs and their wraps

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but does anyone have any opinions on the bumgenius ones? I've been very sceptical towards real nappies until I've seen these. I've never seen the little lambs so don't know how they compare?

I bought trial packs of the little lambs from their website so have one each of the bamboo, terry and microfleece.
I never bothered buying more as I thought my terry squares did the job fine and are so much cheaper and easier to clean.

The microfleece is amost dry when it comes out of the washing machine unlike the others which take over 24 hours to dry on a clothes airer. It's no where near as absorbant as the others though. It was fine for the first couple months but now Logan is getting bigger I find it's not lasting as long before it needs changing (about 2 hours now).
I think the little lambs sizes are smaller than some of the other brands, Logans size 1's are starting to feel snug now he is 16 weeks old. He's only on the 50th centile too. I don't think the wraps are as good as some others either, I find the cotton bottoms ones are more secure and they're cheaper too.
Now Logan is bigger the little lamb wrap often undoes on it's own unless he's wearing a vest to keep the velcro in place.

I would recommend buying a trial pack first to see what you think of it, they're about £8 on the little lamb website with a nappy, cover, booster and liner. Or you can get a used one cheapon ebay
Ive never seen a tots bots in the flesh but have heard good things about those so I'd be tempted to get one of those to try too before you buy a big stash of little lambs

i bought pre-loved when i was pregnant

i loved the slimness of little lambs i used bamboo but they are smaller than other brands and the bamboo takes ages to try comfared to cotton..and i dont find bamboo absorbs more either..ive only used size 1 little lambs .. not sure on bigger sizes

I loved the little lambs myself, used them on Dafydd for his first few weeks and used nature babies wraps, now use wool wraps on the two parter nappies.

I mostly use pocket nappies now and all in two's.

The Bumgenius are fab! Love them, they hold all night for Dafydd at the mo too.


I mainly use these http://www.twinkleontheweb.co.uk/acatal ... n_One.html and they are fab for heavy wetters.

Thanks! I will get a few samples I think, I like tots bots ones but the cotton are quite bulky so was wondering how the lil lamb ones compared, the tots wrap is fab though so will prob get these whichever nappies I go for, I think

 

[lisa&alex]

hmm.. pretty much the same bulkyness tbh.. i just think the gusset part is narrower..

the slimmest nappies i have found which were my favorite out fo the ones i tested (befor teds became heavy wetter) were ellas house hemp.. which were as thin as a disposable..(not bum hugger) http://www.ehnappies.co.uk/hemp-nappy.php if you can get one give it a try.. i love them.. althought he sizing again was quite small.. think he outgrew the small aorund 16-17lb..
