Thanks, Karyn - I bought them from you, so will get in touch.]]> Thu, 14 May 2009 11:19:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685930&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685930 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685681&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685681 Author: kiwivic

I agree with Karyn - it sounds like a pretty random problem so if you bought them new you should send them back to whoever sold them to you. I've been using Ittis for over a year and have never had any problem with fabric quality.

send them back to where you got them from and you'll get a replacement. It is a fairly random thing that happens now and again with bamboo and itti bitti are happy to replace.]]> Wed, 13 May 2009 19:12:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685493&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685493 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685305&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685305 Author: Nic01

check to make sure your washing powder doesn't have any baking soda in it, cause this errodes natural fibres like hemp and bamboo...]]> Wed, 13 May 2009 14:22:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685232&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685232 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685084&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685084 Author: Bizzy

i had the same problem so i contacted mothers instinct who i brought them from and she contacted itti bitti for me. This is what they said about the problem:

"She says the bamboo problem is really weird, it is just something that is a general bamboo thing and very rare and very occassional. She suspects it may have something to do with water, as it is almost common in Australia but pretty much non existent in NZ and Europe. It seems to have some correlation with teething wee, which is higher in ammonia than normal with some babies (and usually quite stinky). She recommends that you to 'damp' pail rather than dry pail if you notice very strong smelling wee, ie rinse the nappies before putting them in the nappy bucket, as you could get problems with other nappies as well."

I love my itti bitti nappies - I think they are so cute - but the hemp layer seems to be perishing! They're getting holes in them like the fabric is just disintegrating. Has anyone else had this problem??? I've had problems with other hemp inserts that have developed holes before too, so don't know if it's just the nature of that fabric or something I'm doing. I'm gutted because I really like the nappies, but expected them to last a bit longer than they have! Just glad I didn't fork out for a whole heap of them now....]]> Wed, 13 May 2009 11:34:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26484&PID=685037&title=problems-with-itti-bittis#685037
