Just a couple of questions for those that have done it.

*How many nappies do you send (full time)?
*Do you name your nappies?
*Do you wash your wetbag every day? I usually only do a nappy wash every 2-3 days but waswondering if you can get by without washing the wetbag every day.
*How long does it take for a wetbag to dry?

TIA

How many nappies do you send (full time)?  I send Josh with 5 usually
*Do you name your nappies? Nope as they stay in his drawer till nappy time and then go straight into his bucket - and he is the only one in cloth with Fuzzi's.
*Do you wash your wetbag every day? I usually only do a nappy wash every 2-3 days but waswondering if you can get by without washing the wetbag every day. Depends on how stinky the nappy is they put in there. If really stinky I will wash it.
*How long does it take for a wetbag to dry? I use the dryer at night to dry it.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

*How many nappies do you send (full time)?

Leo's only ever been in daycare part time (9-12 x 2 days) and for that time period I'd send 2-3 spare nappies.

*Do you name your nappies?

I didn't name Leo's nappies because I just bought cheap pockets off TM specifically to use at childcare. They weren't as good as my Fuzzis & HC but that didn't matter because his nappies were changed every 2hrs so leaks were never an issue. At home I only changed them every 3-4hrs. If I was planning to send more expensive nappies then I'd definitely name them, probably with the Stuck On You labels.

*Do you wash your wetbag every day? I usually only do a nappy wash every 2-3 days but waswondering if you can get by without washing the wetbag every day.

*blushing* I never had a wet bag, Leo's daycare would just send the dirty nappies home in a supermarket bag. If he was in daycare full time though I would have bought one and if washing every 2-3 days I would have one for each day (so 2-3 wetbags so I could send a fresh one each day).

*How long does it take for a wetbag to dry?

I would imagine they take no longer than a PUL pocket outer, so probably only a few hours?

TIA

*How many nappies do you send (full time)?

I send him along with half a dozen, but he's only ever used 4

*Do you name your nappies?

Nope, but he's the only one in cloth, I'd review that if another came along

*Do you wash your wetbag every day? How long does it take for a wetbag to dry?

I turn mine inside out and air it out every day but only wash it once a week or if it's been a really icky day (it's a great double layered one which you can open right out, so you can just give the PUL layer a wipe without getting the whole thing wet, and when I do wash it, it dries super fast). I'm thinking of getting a second one though so I can rotate them. (Link to the bag I got here, thanks Karyn! I really must write a review on there for it, promise I'll get round to it soon )

*How many nappies do you send (full time)?

Liam goes to daycare for 2 full days a week & we send him in 1 nappy (!) with 4 extras. We also keep a few disposables there for him if they need them (they very rarely do). We only have 10 pockets so send 5 a day so there's 5 for the next day ready to go.

*Do you name your nappies?

Yes but there's probably no need as no one else is in cloth there. I just wrote his name on the nappy label with a black pen.

*Do you wash your wetbag every day? How long does it take for a wetbag to dry?

I wash the wetbag at the end of the day & leave it to dry overnight on a clothes airer. It's well & truely dry by the morning.

Oh cool we have those same wetbags weegee so yay I'll just do that. I'm hoping Jack is fully TT soon so I can use his wetbag for Caprece and then have two.
