I'm thinking of investing in some more nappies for my 3 month old, who I haven't managed to get into cloth yet. Thought I'd consult the family roomers as I know there are a fair few cloth nappy users and experts among you.

I used Motherease one size mostly for my older son and really liked them but didn't start until he was about 4 months and he was considerably bigger than his little sister is now. I have tried her in them but all poppered down into the smaller size plus a wrap seemed a) enormous and bulky on her (she's quite long and slight and still only in size 1 or 2 disposables) and b) quite a lot of faff when I'm now doing it with a 3 year old to entertain at the same time. A friend lent me an old Bumgenius all in one to try, which was much easier and a bit less bulky and when I consulted the Nappy Lady and gave my requirements, she suggested the new Bumgenius freetime. It looks great but I wondered if anyone has used them on a smallish, breastfed baby and what they think performance/ease of use-wise before I buy (especially as they are so new there aren't really any available to buy second hand) Or does anyone have any other all in one recommendations? I really want to stick to one size only as I'd like them to last all the way. Also, if anyone's looking to sell any good nappies, please let me know.

Thanks

Hi


I used a combination of nappies with mine - just couldn't stop testing! but my favourites were Blueberries, Bumgenius and Itti Bittis - I do have 3 bumgenius (v3 I assume) which I'm about to put up for sale - PM me if you're interested and I'll dig them out. My baby was quite skinny and they worked well, though I didn't start properly til he was about 3 months old so no experience of them for a very tiny one.



I also have some Bamboozle Stretchies and Tots Bots wraps which were great for us too but not all in ones of course.

The best nappies I used were the bumgenius organic (one size all in one), bumgenius flip (one size adjustable outers and inserts) and fuzzibunz elite. I think those bumgenius might be discontinued now (I've sold mine already) but you should be able to find them preloved on www.clothnappytree.com . YOu can still get the fuzzibunz elite new
I used the bum genius V3 0r 4 I dont know on my baby from 12weeks. He was small, hovering around the 15% weight mark and breast fed and I had no problems with them, when I went to order more nappies the freetimes ones were available and thenappylady.co.uk suggested them instead. I love them, they are so easy to use, dry quickly and are not too bulky. I tried some other ones at the start but found these to be the best.

    • I'm going to add a fourth recommend for Rob Mills. A while back he did my boiler check and was so much more thorough than the previous boiler engineers I'd used, also taking the time to explain everything he was doing and why, which was extremely reassuring. Then this last weekend, when it was freezing cold,  my boiler stopped working early on Saturday morning and was throwing out error messages that I couldn't resolve. He walked me through various steps to try via text message and resolved the issue for me with no charge. I was incredibly grateful and honestly, highly recommend him.
    • My daughter is trying to find a multi vitamin for my granddaughter who is a very fussy eater. Basically she's living on yoghurt, breadsticks & banana's at the moment. Can anyone recommend a vitamin? Preferably one that's nice tasting if its liquid form. Thank you 
    • I would challenge that. Price is a function of supply and demand - that's what I learnt at school anyway. It doesn't matter what your costs are, if supply increases and demand remains constant, prices (rents) will fall. And vice versa
    • Strange isn’t it…..other European countries s actually come up with solutions to house homeless people, which are pod structure, use of office blocks, etc. homeless are provided with thermals, warm sleeping bag and tent or pop up tent plus tech friendly clothing which means they are warm in extreme conditions. Us in UK? Nothing but chuckinto house of multiple occupation, which is usually not warm and not all have mould, but some do.. live in one room even if you are a family with good only knows what other sort of people…  not referring to ethinicity here but more along the lines of mental health problems, drugs, alcoholics. Single and families all in one property. Or if you are one of the lucky ones, into a hotel you go…   Why don’t we as a nation claw back more money in the form of tax  or avoidance avoidance, off shore accounts or other ways that rich or investors do buck the system….
