Convert

Hi ladies,

I was a lurker in the addicts thread while I was still pregnant and I stocked up on itti bitti tuttos (sales, parents etc). I now have a great stash of 18 and a 3 week old boy to model them.

I wasn't sure if I would be able to make the switch from disposables to cloth, more so for the convenience factor but I am slowly converting!

My boy wears cloth from his first change in the morning to his last change at night and sleeps in disposables simply because I've not worked out how many inners I need and if they are enough.

He looks cool, I love showing off his lovely bum, and we have already cut down our waste and expense in the five days he's been in them so far. I actually wish I'd started in them a week earlier but we've not had to buy any disposables in that time due to stocking up pre-birth.

I also convinced DH we needed a trigger sink sprayer to help get poos off. He also loves the cloth and knows how to make sure he gets a good fit.

Cass, if you're using biodegradable nappies do you compost them? cos if not, you're better off using normal ones.
kiwiking: good to hear!
I'd love to have a sprayer thingy. They sound very very useful.

huh. will have to have a look. I didn't think you could add them to many toilets but maybe we can :-)

Hi Kiwiking,
Are the Tutto very bulky?
Where did you buy them from?

Chocpigy - I bought mine direct from the NZ stockist www.ittibitti.co.nz.

I don't find them bulky at all, although they are bigger than a disposable. We've had nothing but compliments about them from other mums.

It's a pretty big Bunnings. We've also checked the Mitre10 Mega as well as the smaller ones. I suspect it's a sucks-to-be-you South Island thing.
