Resusable nappies, Mervs Mum can I pick your brain!? :D

Well I don't really have a clue about starting Jacob on being a cloth bum. He's almost 17 months and in so little nappies. What do I need to buy other than the nappies and liners?? I feel kinda thick for asking this

 

[Mervs Mum]

A pail to keep them in between washes and that's it really! You just have to have a look around at what you like really then take the plunge! Cheeks & Cherries have some lovely trial bundles

I like the look of the Itti Bitti's

 

[Mervs Mum]

Theyre great! My stash is mostly Itti's

 

[vixforever]

Gonna order a few Itti Bitti all in ones and see how I go! Might use a disposable over night still though x

 

[Mervs Mum]

try it a bit at a time and see how you go. just remember brand new nappies need about 8 washes to get them fully absorbant so if you dont buy pre loved they might leak to start with

 

[vixforever]

Where do you recommend getting the pre loved MM?

 

[Mervs Mum]

you can try the nappy selling thread on the sister site or http://www.clothnappytree.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=56&sid=e16283bd6c402e0ad2bd7b63e7d6e079

They are lovely I think you're like them. When you first use them until they have had about 8 washes just change them more regular - say every 2 hours to start with. Mine go 4/5 hours now

 

[vixforever]

Thanks for the tips, in the long run it'll save me quite a bit of cash

 

[Mervs Mum]

They will if you keep them for bubby

Where do I buy napisan from!?!

 

[Mervs Mum]

[vixforever]

Thankyou!

[Mervs Mum]

[vixforever]

Found it, right next to Milton
