I have a bakers dozen of medium Ittis for baby, but wanting some smaller nappies to use from as young as possible...
Can you reccomend a cheaper nappy for then? We know we won't get so long out of them which is why we don't wanna pay quite as much... Or a decent OSFA that you found good from a young age? ETA: Sorry I know its a very vague post but I really have no idea as there are SO many different types-so to know what you use/used and what you think/ what size baby you have (EG long skinny?) would help.. |

I've ended up getting a couple of smalls of TM, some of them are used but figure its not worth paying $40 for a new one that wont last as long.

Prefolds with a good cover are a cheapish effective nappy for a little 'un. But I'd recommend a cover with a gusset (is that what you call the extra elastic thingy around the legs?) such as a bummi super brite to ensure no poo leakages. Kiara was prem but started fitting smalls at about 3.5kg. She had skinny chicken legs and only now fits her small itti's at 4.5kg. Also if you end up with ant pocket nappies you can use the prefolds as spare inserts. ------------- Adoring Mum to Talisin 8/9/11 and Kiara 18/01/10 |

If you want a cheap pocket these are quite good, as a cheap short term osfa pocket:

I have some that I purchased last year - only used one of them but I just don't like the stuffing etc of them and we end up going out quite a bit so end up with disposables. Anyway if you want them (they are OSFA) and have about 5 of them and I am selling one on trademe.

I third the prefold and cover for a newborn. It's what I did until about 6 weeks when E started fitting her OSFAs. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">
