there are many abbreviations with Modern Cloth Nappies (MCN)
FOE = fold over elastic (like bias binding, but an elastic version)
the motherease cover you have, IS made out of PUL. Your baby MIGHT reaction to the binding used around the legs.
as you are in the uk, here's a uk website with a night time cover (no FOE or exposed binding to irritate your bub's legs)
stacinator - cloth nappy wraps - kittykins
this is fleece fabric, quick to dry.
if you want to try wool, they have these:
babylonglegs - cloth nappy wraps - kittykins
(which in Australia we call shorties)
That site has a blog too, with nappy hints.
You'll find lots of Aust MCN sites on this forum mentioned. Remember that your UK sterling gets alot of Aust dollars, so if you buy internationally, you'll get a good deal. A few Aust nappy brands are being sold in the UK too (itti bitti, baby beehinds?)
Have you read about "drypailing"?
that method, as described in previous posts, involves NO NAPISAN (a very harsh bleaching agent used years ago on flat nappies).
My bub developed an intolerance to fleece inners (e.g pockets) around age of one, and part of my solution was like Kermi's, to have baby in natural fibre fitteds and wool covers for day - and only use fleece lined nappies at night - the night nappies.
but there are still some pockets we use for going out, that are fleece lined - i put inside them, a double layer flannelette (natural fibre), so that baby's skin is not touching the fleece inner. that is working for us.
On the home page of this forum (Nappycino), click on the link WHY WOOL - that will explain heaps to you about breathability of wool. I never thought i would use it, but now, i can really see it's value, i've done a 180 on it.
It IS lonely when the people around you in real life, are so ANTI MCN.
i have learnt to build networks with people online who are using MCN, that live in my city - but most often, it's the online support - like on this forum, that keeps me going.
sometimes you just have to stick to what you feel is right.
same with so many things in life - e.g at times in my life, everyone around me smoked, and tried to convince me i should too. Do what is right for YOU and YOUR BABY - everyone else can go jump if they stick their oar in!
choose your battles
know where it IS safe to talk about MCN without copping the raised eyebrows, don't even risk their BS, just don't talk about it with unsupportive sources, you don't need the grief. Being a new mum is PLENTY enough to deal with!!
