Can microfibre inserts be worn against babies skin, ie in a wrap?
I seem to remember reading somewhere that they can't as they draw moisture out of bubs skin?

No it isn't a good idea to put microfibre against bubs skin as it will dry it out and well it just wouldn't feel very nice either.

If you use microfibre in a wrap - use microfleece over top so that is next to bubs skin.

They shouldn't but I know people who do use it that way. I have told them a few times not to put it against her skin and it has fallen on deaf ears and they wonder why she has a rash all the time.
