a puzzle for you

[mum2lucas]

Does he have chubby thighs? This started happening with Lucas around the same time it was very dry and almost flaked/rubbed off. I found the cotton PUL the worst but I put it down to increased movement and chunky thighs he is fine with cotton or poly PUL now (i guess he got slimmer and they didn't rub as much)

Does he have chubby thighs?

no not particularly, but i do think you and ying are right, the movement from crawling and standing and cruising around the furniture, is making the PUL rub, and the suedecloth in the GK just doesnt agree with him...

time for a cull I think.....

thanks so much for all your replies!

When he wears the GK the rash is almost instant, and the other suedecloth inners seem to take a bit longer to make him react.
He can tolerate microfleece inners, though because its not a natural fibre I generally either alternate him with a natural inner (bamboo velour, cotton velour) and then a fleece inner or sometimes I only use the fleece inners for sleeps or when we go out so he can feel dry .

i remember reading on one MCN site about "toddler" MCN, when they start walking, narrower crotch nappies, which facilitate the increased movement.

it took me looking on US sites to find mention of narrow and wide crotched nappies - which i had not realised about before, but now i am aware of it, seems so obvious. i don't see much talk of it on Aust sites (i have no idea why). This has been important to us, we sold all our wide crotched nappies (including Greenkids) lovely nappies but too wide for bilby, and bought narrow crotched MCN instead - much better fit for our bub. And she walks in it fine, no irritation.

you mentioned your bub rashes up in the PUL nappies but not the minky PUL ones. Is your bub ok in fleece nappies?

oh boy, i just realised how non-specifically VAGUE my comment was

you could interprete that as

fleece OUTER nappies OR
whatever outer nappies with fleece INNERS

i actually MEANT to put, fleece OUTER nappies (which coincidentally, usually have microfleece inners LOL).

der to me!

[blondeboys]

lol bilbylove, i might give them a go, ive been looking at some cgrs anyway, i think they can come in fleece?

[bilbylove]

nappies with fleece outer? well where do you start?

pockets:
bits for bots do malden mills fleece pockets
loads of brands do polar fleece pockets, but i've gone blank of the names

aio:
cherub's kiss honeyboys
catnap honeyboys
cuddlesncloth
nicnaps
widdlewuns (now on widdlewuns store on ozebaby, used to be on teh pure and natural botanika store instead)
kester kovers aio at possum's pouch
bits for bots malden mills fleece aio

I'm sure a search of wahmnaps, wahmania, ozebaby etc would turn up plenty more.

I don't think any of what i've listed, have suedecloth inner, but as usual, worth checking out the product specifications before you buy anything. To make sure product will meet your bub's needs.

the cgr's are at wahmnaps store, yes, i think they're fleece outers too, i've never looked at those much, cos we're 100% sidesnappers here. (so temptation was taken away from me, luckily! the embroidery and fabrics are lovely).

[blondeboys]

thanks so much bilbylove, you''re a gem!

[bilbylove]

if i had a brain it would be lonely - of COURSE - Pookey Pockets do fleece pockets too!

(i bought stuff there last night and STILL that name slipped thru my memory when brainstorming for your post!!)
