If you are based in Auckland and want to use Fuzzi's then use either Paws or Toni as your agent and you can get the Oh baby deal. The plus is you have your agent there that can help you with everything.

I use pocket, a mix of fuzzi's and tweedles and a few home made by my mum. They are great. We spent about $400 and got 21 nappies (14 medium and 7 petite - they were made by my mum). Have a look around as you can get some great deals.

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

We have a mixture of pocket naps and a few AIO's.

The only thing with a newborn though that I've found was that even though the nappies size guides say for example from 3kg and whatever cm for thighs.. my boy was well over the size guides yet they still didn't fit him (and I've found that with all my nappies). To combat this I asked Rachael at Tweedles to put cross over snaps on my nappies so that they actually fitted him. It's just something to think about..

But we only go through probably 7 nappies a day now. I tend to stuff more in my pockets so that they last longer

You can get a newborn hire kit and try the different sorts before you decide on a system for you. The problem with cloth is that not all systems suit all babys (or their parents). For instance my oldest boy wears pocket nappies at night but my younger wears fitteds with covers (normally wool) because he gets a rash too easy with pockets overnight.

For me the biggest advantage of cloth over disposable is no yucky chemiclas next to my boys skin. I never trusted the gel crystals in nappies.

going cloth can be hard in that there are lots of diff types and brands to choose from and making a decision can be trying. and sometimes people can be negative about your decision.

yeh a lot of people find that with newborns (legs aren't big enough for the nappies) so it's important that you get a personal fitting from a nappy agent when bubs arrives (if you can wait LOL), you don't get that personal service or after sales support when buying from overseas, and it's always good to support us poor WAHMs!).

If you choose a nappy that has pointed wings (the bits you do the nappies up with) then you can cross them over no problems. Fuzzis and our new Honey Child nappies both have this feature.

It's great that you're doing all of this research, I did the same and bought my "birth to potty training" stash (smalls and mediums) without even seeing the nappies in the flesh! LOL
I just found that Fuzzis had such a great reputation that everywhere I read about them people were really raving on about them, so they must be good! I love them so much I wanted to convert people too and became an agent

Yep, Im sold, but I would prefer to get them before Isabelle arrives....I just want to get as prepared as I can be before I get swept up with being a first time mum (oh and i wont have the disposable income i have now lol).

Two blondinis can you just tell me the difference between fuzzis and the honeychild ones? ... Also would I be pretty safe in having them fit her when she arrives

Hi there I'm also a fuzzi convert I've used them on Briona since 1yo and Kryssi since 1mo. Krystiana was born at full term, 8lbs, but she had skinny wee legs and didn't fit small FB for about 4 weeks. At my baby shower I got given a few packs of newborn nappies and that tied me over those few weeks. Then she packed on the weight (she is at the top of the height and weight charts ) and outgrew the smalls (and into mediums) at about 4mos! But had worn about 7-9 nappies per day for those three months so it still paid off (especially because I'm planning on another baby). The mediums are the best value IMO because they fit bubbas from around 6mos right through to around 2yrs.

If I'd known before I had Kaleb that I would end up going cloth then I might have asked for nappies at my baby shower. What a great idea!

Please note - you don't have to be in Auckland to benefit from the Oh Baby! promo or to order through myself or Gen. We can answer any questions re. fitting etc over the phone/email/PM

Honey Child nappies are New Zealand made (YAY!) by the "Undies Experts" that used to make Hanes undies, they have quick turnaround time, so no more 2 months waiting for your nappy! (Double YAY to that!)

They have a super absorbent new microfleece lining that wicks the moisture away from baby's skin even faster than "normal" fleece, so less chance of nappy rash setting in than ever before. We are developing an even more absorbent microfibre insert holds 400mls (standard is about 300mls), great for a Super Pee'r!!!) This is due next month.

They also have an extra set of snaps to hold up the end of the wing so that the nappy fits better around the thigh.

They also have elastin covered elastic, making the elastic even stronger!

AND... because they are a brand new product we are offering "no risk buying" if you really don't like them you can send them back for a full refund (within 30 days of buying)

AAANNDD
When you buy a pack of Honey Child Nappies you get 1 free insert (this is in addition to the promo offers on Oh Baby! which you can read about here

We can also run your baby shower for you! Just make a list of all the items you want (we can help with this too), let us know who wants to buy what and we can arrange to have everything gift wrapped to arrive for your shower, with a few freebies for the Mum-to-be too

Let me know if you need any more help

we have tried a few different brands too before finding the 'right' one for us. we've had peapods, swaddlebees, tweedle, joel-eze, fuzzis and finally baby harmony. they are all really good nappies but i prefer the baby harmony

the great thing about mcn is if you don't like it for whatever reason, they are easy to sell on TM
