Hi there,
I would strongly suggest a visit to the Pookey Pockets shop. Bek is very helpful, knows LOTS about MCN and sells a great range of AIOs/Fitteds and Pockets among other things. She is located in Kingston, so not to far from you, and she stocks behinds fitteds and AIOs.
It is much better if you can see the products first, and she would be able to offer some great advice.
Here is the link to her website, including the Queens rd, kingston address. I think she is open Tues/Wed/Thurs from 10am but you could check.
Good Luck

ETA She has covers and fabric to. Everything you need really!!!

Yes when I first started with MCN i made a lot of purchases that didnt end up suiting us. I wish I had known about Bek's shop earlier!

I have read alot of comments here & on the US forums that the BG pockets run a bit small & you may not get to toilet awareness.

Anyway, Have you seen Green Kids One size pockets??
Green Kids Modern Cloth Nappies - Anytimes Nappy
Lots of people use & love them.

Baby behinds are great & they are having a sale on the coloured ones at the moment, for $20 each

[Kizzzah]

[Kizzzah]

[Kizzzah]

Oh and are the bamboo one size fitteds BEEHINDS... do they need a cover?? if so wouldnt that defeat the purpose of them being coloured.. or i dunno lol... ?? i though fitteds needed covers.. and what the diff between the hemp and bamboo ones??

I don't know how to answer the question "is x brand good?" LOL Let's just say most well known brands that online stores carry are good and people like them (or they wouldn't keep having them instock LOL ).

Everyone has their own preferences, what works for some probably doesn't work for others if you know what I mean Every child has different build, shape, and wee habits so you have to take these into account when you buy & try nappies. That's why it's important to buy a few in different brands to see what suits your child. The good thing about MCNs is you can always onsell them if they don't work for you

To answer your questions LOL Yes Green Kids are one size and they work well. I still have my very first GK that is about 2 yrs old
Beehinds wool covers are nice and the fit is fantastic. I don't know how old your bubs are so can't advice on sizing. I find 2-3 wool covers for night time are enough for me at this stage and I don't wash them that often (once a week or so).

You need a cover for all fitted nappies, coloured or not LOL But a lot of people don't use covers during the day at home or in summer so bubs can show off those beautiful cloth bums I don't use covers over fitteds at home either if my bub isn't going to sleep, I just change as soon as she wets them.

The differences between the hemp and bamboo Beehinds are they're made of different materials. Bamboo are softer, more absorbant and don't usually smell when wee'd on like hemp.

I suggest you read "nappy brands & help" threads on this forum. There are tons of reviews on particular brands you can find out
