Yes I know I already said this last week, but I do, I really do!
This morning circumstances conspired against me (which is a flash way of saying I was disorganised  ) and I dashed out without throwing spare nappies in the nappy bag. Sienna was in a Fuzzi that I'd just changed her into but I'd gotten Mercedes straight up out of bed after her morning nap and thrown her in the car without changing her.
She was wearing a Bubblebub (one of the new scrummy hot pink dimple dot minky Paris ones in fact!) and I put it on her at 8am this morning and it lasted until we got home at 1.45pm without so much as a whisper of a leak! And it's an AIO! Loving it, loving it, loving it! -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| I am the same Emma. The bubblebub lasts as well as the prefolds! Way better than any pocket Ihave. |

I really need to be working fulltime for mine. I see all these gorgy nappies at work too and Im like "wow where did you get that nappy from" before you know it I want nearly one of every nappy I have seen lol. I have to say tho the bubblebubs ones are very cute and believe me if I wasnt on a tight budget I would have to let my creditcard slip too ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol! U working at plunket now? My plunket nurses, and the the staff at the drs have never seen modern cloth nappies before. I got one of the nurses that was preg hooked! Yay for honeychild referral reward scheme! He he!

Oops sorry Emma!!! Yep plunket now. When I was working as a practice nurse I only came across one bub with a cloth bot and he had Fuzzibunz on I think but other than that i had never seen them before until I was welcomed to the world of MCN thru Ob. But as for the babies I have visited there are quite a lot in MCNs very exciting to see these newborns in these cute snug naps. Most are peapods and fuzzis. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Ah yes, but Alize has a birthday coming up, and those naughty gremlins have been known to go on nappy spending sprees behind my back. Sienna's gotta keep her future hubby happy and all ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Isn't the Dimple Pink Paris one just scrummy. Karyn managed to talk me into it after the one I wanted wasn't available. Glad I let her - it is just gorgeous. Unfortunatley it is still a bit big for Sam, but that is ok - means she gets to show it off for longer ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I got the yellow toys. I wanted one that was unisex. Cause I do plan on having another bubs one day so if I'm gonna spend that much on a nappy it's gonna be unisex! lol |

I just bought the yellow toys also (couldn't resist) - my first cloth nappy purchase!! I went with that colour as it was really the only unisex one and we aren't planning on finding out the sex of the baby. But I do hope they release another unisex one especially with the dots!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

So what am I doing wrong? They're one of the few nappies I have that consistently leak. Thought it might have been because of my skinny baby, but my friend has the same problem with her big baby.
I love the look of them, but I am having no luck and I really want them to work. |

I've been finding them really good. Are you making sure that the doubler is sitting squarely in the nap? And that it's nice and snug around the legs? Otherwise email Karyn at Mothers Instinct and I'm sure she'll have some other suggestions. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Yes, everything lined up, the leaks seem to be around the legs though so maybe my kiddo is just too skinny for mediums.

Robyn, I think that is our problem too. Sam's leaks around the legs and I am thinking it is just that bit too big for her yet. Hmmm, might have to go out and buy the small ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i think my boy is just a very heavy wetter actually!! cos it leaked all over again when we went for a walk into town this morning. When he wears his honeychilds he usually has 3 inserts in during the day and 4 at night time (inc hemp and somtimes i can change the ammount of inserts but this is generally how it is now) and i still have to change him on the 3-4 hourly mark max! otherwise we have leaks!!
STILL LOVING MY BUBBLEBUB!!! AND BY THE WAY LADIES - THEY ARE BRINGING IN NEW DESIGNS WITHIN A FEW WEEKS YAY!!!!
