I used real nappy prefolds and a mixture of RN wraps, and bummis wraps on Sophie. I never snappied, just folded the prefold in quarters, and placed in the wrap. It was mostly fine - had the occassional explosion! I never used liners on her, and never used any other covers over the top. I used the prefolds until she was 13 weeks, and then switched to pockets, as I was finding she was waking as she felt wet.]]> Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:31:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=412071&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#412071 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=412013&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#412013 Author: AliaDawn

Snappi replaces pins Sometimes I forget some people still use pins! Forgive me if you do, they should work just as well.

They are about $5 each, but you should only need 1 or 2 for a full set of prefolds.

how have you been using the prefolds on your son? they have snappis on the accessories page.
the snappi is the alternative to pins. i prefer to snappi my prefolds on as never had much luck with pad folding them and dont worry about liners either.

Oooo, what is a snappy? i don't know anything about these and would have put baby in just a prefold and wrap. does it sort of tie everything together?? will check out the real nappies website. thanks!]]> Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:19:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=411995&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#411995 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=411989&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#411989 Author: AliaDawn

Most find liners useless with a nb, some still like to use them. It will probably soak through, though still help. You could always try washable liners. Whisper pants are instead of a wrap, not as well as generally, so either.

So long as you're using a snappy alot find them good for containment - if you're just pad folding them, it'll go all over the cover.]]> Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:09:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=411989&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#411989 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=411953&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#411953 Author: tomtom

Hi there.
We have been using the 'real nappies' brand on my son from the age of 6 months with great success. we've got baby number 2 on the way and i'm keen to try bummis wraps and prefolds on a newborn. i think i've read in these forums that prefolds are good at containing breastfed poo?? i hope so as i've already started my collection :-)
Also: would you recommend using biodegradable liners with a newborn or does the poo just run straight off? is a prefold and wrap enough or will i need to buy some 'whisper pants' to go over the top for better leakage prevention?
Many thanks for your help.......]]> Fri, 13 Jun 2008 15:36:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18209&PID=411953&title=real-nappies-prefold-users#411953
