I think alot of daycare's suply nappies tho don't they well the one we used did anyway so we just had to send Alan with one nappy for home time and they were happy to put him in a cloth for us.
I will never go back to using full time dposable's unless he weather was to turn really nasty or something it has saved us so much $$$ and LAan has only had one really nasny rash and that was cause silly Mum forgot to change him to a night nap before bed. Deffently cloth all the way. I only wash mine every second day, but will have to start everyday once baby is here no doubt.]]> Tue, 25 Jul 2006 12:44:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60992&title=nappies#60992 <![CDATA[Nappies... : And the uber thread re cloth is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60910&title=nappies#60910 Author: Anna

And the uber thread re cloth is fantastic! Well worth a read, I think it can be held responsible for many oh-baby-ers converting to cloth.

I use mostly Air nappies from babyonline.co.nz and I find them great. On the odd occasion when I am slack and run out I use treasures and usually have no problems with them either. I thnk that if you jump onto baby online they will send you a trial, one of each brand of nappy so you can try them out and pick your favourite?]]> Tue, 25 Jul 2006 08:57:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60908&title=nappies#60908 <![CDATA[Nappies... : I love Huggies best for newborns...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60888&title=nappies#60888 Author: busymum

I love Huggies best for newborns too but as Briona has got older I have switched to Pam's. Seem as good as Giggles to me, but cheaper. I get them at Pak n Save.

As for cloth nappies... I wouldn't leave clothies with a daycare, sounds like too much bother. I'd just settle with a disposables brand you are happy with. All the best for deciding!]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:13:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60888&title=nappies#60888 <![CDATA[Nappies... : Bombshell... we&#039;ve got an...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60877&title=nappies#60877 Author: nikkitheknitter

We use Treasure Ultra's...produced (which I presume means made) in NZ with local and imported materials. Figured it was close enough to buying NZ made.

A few months back I think Close up did a test on Nappies to see what kind was the most absorbant and Treasure Ultras got the top marks (this was quite a while ago so hope I've remembered right).

We've never had problems with nappy rash. I was at Countdown the other day and they had Treasure Ultra's on sale for $8.99 per pack but it amazed me how many people were buying nappies that weren't on special....in some cases payinmg $5 per packet more. I always go to the supermarket with the cheapest nappies and stock up (hate it when Countdown limit you to 3 packets!)

Ok so question - those of you using cloth nappies - how often do you need to wash them etc - eg do a load etc...or do you send out to that service? Mum wants me to use real ones, DH wants me to use the service - Me I hate the thought of having to clean real ones when you can just toss disposables. I will welcome discussion on this as Im being pressured two vs one....BTW I intend to return to work after 3 months also so poss nanny / daycare issues with nappies.]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 18:27:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60834&title=nappies#60834 <![CDATA[Nappies... : Weve always used Huggies for Bay,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60830&title=nappies#60830 Author: BaAsKa

Weve always used Huggies for Bay, right up until undies
Every other nappy seemed to leak!!!! but like a few other ladies have said...huggies is more absorbent and even when they are full he still stayed dry and rash free Iv only ever used huggies and hes never had a rash in his life
I swear by huggies nappies and wipes. Iv had this discussion with a few of my friends that have girls and they said that huggies just didnt do the trick for them because they are shorter and girls tend to pee out the top! (apparently!?) and boys tend to pee out the side (which ever direction his doodley was pointing) and huggies is made to stop leakage from the sides.
Wow that was a novel!!! sorry ]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 18:06:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60830&title=nappies#60830 <![CDATA[Nappies... : I love the bradn from the baby...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60801&title=nappies#60801 Author: lizzle

I love the bradn from the baby factory. They fit little taine really well, and seemed to cope with Jake's excess at night. They were cheap and you get rewards points - buy 10, get a pack free.
Now we are using fuzzis on Taine and dry-nites on Jake. Dry-nites are from www.nappyhouse.com. I get them delivered in bulk as it works out heaps cheaper.
Be careful with baby wipes. some of the cheaper ones are so crappy, you end up going through them a lot faster. I used a budget brtand from pak n save - about $2.98, and came in either blue or pink. can't remember the name

go to the websites as often they'll give you trial nappies.]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 16:28:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60801&title=nappies#60801 <![CDATA[Nappies... : Treasures worked best for us....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60744&title=nappies#60744 Author: meow

Treasures worked best for us. Never really had much luck with huggies, they didn't fit properly.

Dammit wrote a big reply and it logged me out!!

I was saying that I love huggies the best. I bought loads of treasures before Zaara was born and it leaked 80% of the time so I switched to huggies and I think they are great. Even if the nappy is full, Zaara stays dry and she never had nappy rash.

Keep an eye for specials. you could buy a pack of 109 new born nappies for $37 - $38 at times. ]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:36:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60716&title=nappies#60716 <![CDATA[Nappies... : I never liked Huggies much coz...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60710&title=nappies#60710 Author: Maya

I never liked Huggies much coz Maya was quite long/tall and the Huggies seem to be cut shorter so never fit her as well. She was a Treasures Ultra girl all the way at night time, and we used flat cloths during the day with the Johnsons liners.

I have started stocking up for the twins, I have a couple of packs of Huggies (free from Huggies - perks of the job!) but mostly Treasures Giggles and Ultra. I prefer the Huggies wipes to any other brand tho.

BTW our local Countdown had the Treasures Ultra bulk packs on special for $16 when I was there yesterday, not sure if it's all Countdowns, but worth a look.]]> Mon, 24 Jul 2006 13:23:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60710&title=nappies#60710 <![CDATA[Nappies... : Hi Mrs Frantic, We are also in...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3237&PID=60707&title=nappies#60707 Author: Millie1976

We are also in the process of looking to buy some nappies.

Frantic Huggies are so the best for new borns. Once Andrew was older we started putting him in Treasures Giggles during the day and Huggies at night. Now it's still Huggies at night and either giggles or ultras during the day depending on the price of nappies. I have already started buying nappies for the next one and brought giggles as they have made them more absorbant. You will work out which ones you like, as me and my friend swear by Huggies yet someone else I know can't stand them. I would buy a mixture and see what ones suit you.
