[~Carolyn~]

i had

Wizz Kids NB
Popets place NB
Cute Tooshies
Mandy Macs
home mades (loved the snapi home mades)

lots and lots of boosters!

I had also AIO's but found they didnt work for us, as she weed thru the legs.

Covers,
Loveybums
BBH small (when she grew into it)
Lotus NB wool
knitteds
thirsties NB and small covers
Bummis for back up

We used terry flats and snibs in hospital, but once i got home i didnt have the need to as DH wouldnt do flats and he changed her quite often (c-section and he had 3 weeks off-)

[cathyrubin]

Ive got about 3-5 assorted stuff ina drawer (too scared right now to pull out and see how nuts I went) and Ive got another 15 snappy bamboo nappies Im making., just dyring the outer sherpa, waiting for the procion to arrive, thewy are all cut out ready to dye and go!
then I'll take pics when they are done, and I'll have to sit down after that as Im sure I'll be overwealmed by what I aready have heheh

i used the mini ones from itti bitti, you could also use the ones from Hemp sustainable products, or the green kids ones, just anything that is about 3 layers and is a booster.

boosted flats are grosely underestimated i think, as you dont really need to hang them out or fold them (till you use them of course)

[mum_2_lots]

I loved the boosters from sustainable hemp products. Or even folded cloth wipe ( face washer/flannel, whatever u call them) works well in the 1st few weeks

I had a heap of nb AIO/AI2 that we couldnt use because of poop leaks

[vickichiki]

I have used lots of aios on Arabella (obviously LOL!) and never had a poo leak and she is quite a skinny minny with chicken legs (4.7kgs at 3mths) I wonder if you arent pulling them on tight enough?

Aside from AIO's we have used sherpies and bambams, prefolds, kissaluvs, cute tooshies and bubbaj's, itti bittis, bettlebums a few odds and sods as well. Arabella is still in all her newborn nappies but I have given the blueberry's and kissaluvs to my SIL because they just arent absorbant enough anymore

what i HAD in our nb stash

Covers:
bambino mio
imse vimse
i felt safest with these, as they have leg gussets in the design
two years later, now tots bots and bummis covers also have leg gussets, plus THirsties.

whizz kidz fleece (i can't bear to part with this, it's so cute, lavendar with embroidered butterflies)

if the birth hadn't gone so pearshaped, i would have started using wool alot earlier too. And i didn't know about flongies back then, they would be so easy on a newborn.

Fitteds:
bits for bots size 1
six flannelette fitteds
bamboo prefolds, foldups
the old baby beehinds prefolds that they no longer make
12 newborn size hemp boosters (from sustainable hemp products)
6 bamboo flats that i could never work out how to fold properly, made them into boosters later on

Pockets and AIO's
the only ones i got to work for us, were the ones made with Malden Mills fleece on the outer, e.g Cherub's Kiss AIO and Liam's Bum pockets. Started my love affair with the bulletproof Malden Mills fleece. i bet a Possum's Pouch KK AIO would have worked well too. oh well, i didn't know they existed back then.

I tried these a bit later, and wish i had used them from the start,
Cute Tooshies bamboo delights OSFA
Whizz Kidz side snappers OSFM
Bamboozles by tots bots
Mandy Macs OSFM fitted pockets

SO i guess our strategy was the Two Lines of Defense, boring prefold and jazzy cover, in the main. We were changing madam up to 20x a day, so it needed to be easy, quick, foolproof and quick drying.

after one week of nonstop leaks, due to my tentativeness doing up the covers, we had no leaks (once someone showed me how to do it up tight enough). i was so concerned about doing them up TOO tight.

[Kizzzah]

haha ill keep in mind too do them upp tight dont want anything escaping... im def decided too try some tots bots bamboozles and fluffles i belive since ive seen alot of ladies like them on newborns and my main stash of prefolds and my cotton flats and covers along with pul and wool and fleece .. Should do us well too begin with i believe.. always get more after.
