Hi there,
Just wanted to let people know our cloth travel adventure on our recent 10 day driving trip in Victoria. This is what we (DH + me) took, for our 5 month old son:
5 bamboo flats
5 bamboo fitteds
1 hemp fitted
1 AIO
fleece liners
3 PUL covers
3 night nappies
1 wool cover for the NN
cloth wipes
I figured the flats would dry fast, the fitteds are good for fast changes in less than ideal circumstances, and the night nappies are essential, and cut down on overall nappy use...
We washed every second or third day- the hot, dry weather meant that we had no problems drying. We used three sposies (borrowed from others) as it was so hot (above 30 degrees!!) on a few nights that I thought the night nappy + wool cover was too much. We used disposable wipes when we were on the move, cloth and water wipes when in one place. We actually could have done it without the hemp fitted- it didn't get used in the end, nor did the AIO (but I was visiting people who are just starting out in cloth- they wanted to have a bit of a look...)
We put the used nappies in a plastic bag, in the boot of the car. Any nappies that weren't quite dry when we had to drive were dried off under the rear window, or on the dashboard. We also aired the wool NN cover on the dashboard. So prob good against would-be car thieves, too...
Anyway, we were very happy with how easy it turned out to be!
