After seeing how fast Mr 13 months has grown out of his Mediums I am looking at different one size pocket nappies. Has anyone used these and could you give me some feedback please!  They have fantastic colours! ------------- Mum to Mr 10, Mr 6 and Mr 4

Pricey but would be good for both your boys from this age on.
Not fab for young babies but doable. And cool colours

the first mcn i got was a mommys touch. i got it for charli but it didn't really work for a young bub. far too bulky and complicated.
so we used it on jack for a while and never had any probs. they are a little expensive but they do have really cool colours and are great nappies  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

I have 5 of them and they are great. I use a flat nappy as my inserts and they work wonders. They were harder when Alize was younger as I was having heaps of leaks (in all my naps thou) and Ems told me to bulk up the inserts and it work a treat until he was older and got chubby thighs. Great colours too!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi Kiwimummy
I'm thinking of getting Mommy's Touch too but wonder how they will be on a newborn. Maybe I wll do disposables for the fist couple of weeks until I get on top of things and maybe by then Bubba will be big enough for them??? ------------- Mum to: Joy Emily 1.05am 27/09/07 7lb 3oz Austin Paul 12.47pm 18/04/10 10lb 8oz |

i use mummys touch, i have about 14 of them....have used them since rhiannon was about 10mths old i think...havent had any problems...
although rhiannon does sometimes leak out the side of the leg its only when shes lost a bit of weight around her thighs and i just move it up 1 dome until i need to move them again. cloth nappies work well as inserts as well...i brought these with having more kids in mind....so when i have more we will stay with cloth nappies and then move them when they are abit older ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Sunnyhoney - they can be a bit hard on a little baby but once you get the hang of it and inserts sorted they are fine. I started using mine more when Alize was 41/2mths. They can be quite bulky on a wee one. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I didn't like the MT nappy I had - it was far too complicated with all the different snaps. Personally I find bumgenuis's much easier and much better absorbancy. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I have a MT and I am not a fan. It was hopeless when DS was a newborn and even now at 13 months it doesn't fit him right (he has quite skinny legs). I use it as a night time nappy for my 3 year old.
My favourite one-size nappy is a bumGenius! It truely is one size - I used that from birth on my DS and my 3 year old wore it until toilet training at 2, and can wear it at night now. Apart from the bumGenius I'm not a fan of one-size nappies - they're usually too big for a smaller baby and too small nearer toilet training. I think it gives a false sense of economy. I sew my own so it only costs me about $6 per pocket nappy and I get a fit that really works for my kids. I know that when you're paying more like $30 per pocket nappy it gets expensive - but our FuzziBunz size M that I used on DD from 3 months to toilet training have been worn by DS since 3 months too - so even sized nappies can give a good size range without the bulk. (Petite Fuzzi Bunz are a good size too - the rise of a large and slightly larger than a medium in the waist. There are lots of NZ WAHM brands too). |

I have a haute one size and quite like it. Its almost as good as the bumgenius! :)It doesn't quite last as long without leaks as the bumgenuis but still goes for a good few hours without a leak. :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">
