Hi Anina

I sent you an email regarding the fit of the nappy for Stefan. I took fotos but can't load them because I forgot the cable for my phone. You will get it right, it will just be a little trial and error until you figure out what works best. It should by no means mean wet clothes in the morning if fitted properly. My Boy drank around 4 bottles of mild night before last and only way after 7am did his clothes start to be slightly damp inbetween the legs the next morning.

It would be great if you would leave a review on the webiste, it always helps if other see how the products have performed for our clients before they buys.

glad you are enjoying the nappies!!!

Hi ladies!

I got my Econobum nappies on Tuesday and they are GREAT!!! I washed and dried them 3 times Tuesday afternoon / night and started using them yesterday on both Stefan and Claudia.

So last night was the first night with the new nappies and it worked well for Claudia, Stefan had a leak early this morning, so I will still have to figure out if they are going to work for him as night nappies. But I think as I get used to them and how to use the one-size covers (i'm used to Bambino Mio) I will get better at choosing the right setting for him to fit 2 inners into the waterproof at night.

I must say, for the price of these nappies, they are great!!! I actually think they are better than Bambino Mio. And I like the covers, love the fact that its poppers and not velcro. I have so much more control over how the cover sits, I love it!!!

@ Anina

I am glad you like the Earthbabies. I love them and want to get my son the 5 pack with Magnets that they have. It's actually a gift box but I thought it wouldbe nice. Atleast I know now which is the best to recommend. Up until now it's been dicey becasue I havn't been potty training so only could go on look and feel but not efficiency.

Hi Gals

Sorry I have been so quiet, it's been maddness.

@ Joli, thank you for those gorgeous pics of Callum on our FB page. I just want to eat him up. About the Kushies nappy funnily enough, that is the one nappy I havn't tested it's its the first one I am selling so it's good to get your imput. Is it too small or too big for Callum? Will be good to ask the supplier about it maybe she has recommendations. It's exactly like the Biobaba AIO nappy and I use that so I know they work but it might just be the fit that is the problem.

@ Amanda, thank you for always being so prompt to answer some of the questions here. If it were left up to me you guys would never get answers :-)

@ Joli, get some pro Bac if you can but the sunlight bar will also work on those yellow stains. If you leave them too long they will struggle to come out. Never soak your covers but as Amanda said if you would like to you you could have a small wet bucket to keep the inserts in which will help with stains. i don't use a wet bucket at all becasue I don't like the smell of it. What I do is pray the inserts off into the toilet with a handshower when I have changed the nappy and then put it into the dry bucket until I am ready to wash.

Morning Jolie,

I use Cherub Tree, Bumbeetles during the day and a combination of stegi and muslin at night.

I have a small bucket of water (5litre) on the compactum in which I rinse the inserts only. My little one has mostly soft/runny poops so I use the Mother Nature nappy liners which are thicker (flushable and biodegradable). If he left "skid marks" ;) on the nappy regardless of having the liner, I immediately spray ProBac laundry spotter on it and rinse. I then store the used nappies in a dry bucket. None of my nappies are stained on the inside (touch wood! ha ha) but one Cherub Tree is stained on the outside from my boy eating beetroot!

I wash about twice a week or until the 20 litre dry bucket is full of nappies. I only wash nappies as it makes up a load.

ciao ciao
Amanda

p.s. before I bought nappies the Bam+Boo appealed the most to me, but after trying it out I don't like them that much. Maybe when my boy is older or maybe with a second baby it will work better. :)
