I love, love, love this nappy!
The nappy comes in four lovely pastel colours and white. I just have to complete my collection with Duck Egg and Coconut.
The absorbency of this nappy makes it ideal for a night time nappy. I called Jolene from Babi Pur for advice on which nappies to try and she suggested we try the Close Parent Pop in bamboo nappy. Bamboo is really absorbent, this shows in the length of drying dry it needs. This is the only reuable I've tried that needs two days drying time but for me that just highlights how absorbent it is. The nappy has a double gusset and so far in about two months we've not had any leakages!
It's worth having at least two of the nappies to allow for the drying time and so you don't have to do a daily wash but they are priced very reasonably.
We also have the Pop In Tote bags in size small and medium. The small size is perfect to be sent with Fizz to nursery or being out and about for a day as it can fit a days worth of nappies. The medium is perfect for at home. It hangs in the toilet and fits around two days worth of nappies. They are also colourful and stripey meaning your bag will always stand out compared to the plain totes normally used with reusables. They keep any smells in the bag so no need to worry about using any oils to dilute the smell of dirty nappies.
The Pop In liners are really good too. Our first set of liners were a non branded liner. The Pop In Liner was thinner fitting into the nappy and not spilling out of the gusset (we had found this with another liner and it created leakage gaps).
I have to say I have become a big fan of the Pop In and I have hoping to complete my collection of colours soon!
A few things have been flying through my mind this week.
Our hospital stay when Fizz was born was great. I couldn't fault the staff and our treatment. But as I have said before they provide Pampers to each new mum and stock them up everyday.
Our nursery is lovely but it provides disposable nappies as part of the weekly cost.
I am wondering now how I go about finding out the reasons why or if anyone has helped a nursery or hospital to change to reusable or even just had some experience of how to start a dialogue about this?
Sorry it's a short blog today but I'm putting a call out to all mums to support the cloth bum and to help me along the way!
When we first started using cloth nappies I did have some concerns over whether they would hinder my Fizz's mobility.
I shouldn't have been worried at all. The styles available now are much slimmer then terry towelling and at nearly 8 months old we are getting many attempts at crawling and lots of walking with support.
Although some disposible nappies are very slim (but not as absorbent) at size 3 and above I love that cloth does have that extra bit of padding while Fizz is making attempts to crawl/walk and she has a lovely cushion for her bum. The elastic gusset on bumgenius v3, pop in bamboo and Tots Bots all mean that Fizz has freedom of movement and I don't need to panic about leakage.
I'm sure she'll be whizzing around really quickly as soon as she figures out what to do with her legs!
I was given a lovely cherry heart Tot Bots Easyfit V2 and when it arrived I fell in love with the design!. Read more...
So here is my pride and joy! Clean reusable nappies of different varieties on my washing line. Read more...
Me and Fizz are quite attached to this nappy. It it easy to put together - daddy has even learnt how to do them! Read more...
Before my little Fizz was born I looked into the cloth nappy and for some reason went the Eco friendly disposable route. In the hospital Pampers disposables are left out for new mums. Read more...
