The first cloth nappies I used with my newborn were Imse Vimse Flanellettes (from Sweden) with a PUL wrap. Slowly I started expanding my nappy stash, tried pockets, fitted diapers (with knitted wool covers) and some AIOs and by 5 weeks I fell in love with the Pop-In. It was the first AIO that didn’t leak. Now that my baby is almost 4 months and he has gotten more body mass in his legs, leaking isn’t much of a problem anymore. Now my favorites are some Finnish WAHM brands, and Blueberry (the prints!). I have quite an impressive collection of different brands and prints now. The Pop-Ins are still in use, but they look rather boring. They’ve never failed me, though.

I know exactly what you mean by the desire to wear cute nappies when out and about I love to change nappies in public, hoping to have people notice them. Sadly most of the babies I see at these nappy changing stations are wearing stinky disposables. When starting with cloth nappies, I thought I’d be using disposables when out and about, but now it has to be some extreme emergency before my baby is in public wearing yucky disposables…

Wee Notions! They’re so soft and, as they’re customisable, you can pretty much design your own… have her name and DOB on maybe?

the stretchy bamboozles are a great fit on a new born. Ive been testing them for 5 weeks now and the size 1 and 2 fit great (although the size 1 is a nicer fit) and no leaks with either, unlike the itii bittis (which are now never used)

Oh, Laura, it is so exciting for you expecting another baby and especially now that time is getting closer!

I definitely think the tiny Bamboozle Stretchies will be fantastic for a teeny tiny bot. Have just tested them, I think they will be great for explosive ‘just milk’ poo as the fit around the legs and back is really great. You can’t go wrong with the Itti Bittis though either, and lets not forget that they don’t get much fluffier than that!

I agree - you do get a really great feel good factor when displaying beautiful fluffy nappies at baby-group. I’ve always had lots of great comments and question about Honey’s Itti Bitti’s!
