    Default At my wits end, whats my best option.

    ok i have been using cloth for about 7-8 mth now, i got 13 BG OS 3.0 and have 11 ittis mainly mediums, firts month we were fine but then ella started rashing (took months too figure the cause) and i now know for sure its from the synthetic material.
    I have been suing bamboo prefolds between her bum and the BG pocket for last couple weeks and the rash had gone, that is until the prefolds were wet and we had too put a nappy on without one and big red welts AGAIN. the ittis do it too i try lay a heap of wipes in them but they move and then shell get sores. i found out my dad too has reactions to synthetic materials.

    NOW my whole stash bar one nappy is synthetic. Was going too potty train but she doesnt want too quite yet, so i was thinking what too do with the 13 BG... ill keep the ittis because so far wyatt hasnt reacted too them.

    But im so over the BG, should i try sell them? some have some dirt marks on the outside pul (im not a great washer so they would prob come out) otherwise they really arnt that old.

    im at a loss i need too get some type nappy that wont rash ella ?? any ideas would like a OSFM....

    i know by selling them tho ill lose a heap of money paid for them but at this point i just dont wanna have them anywhere near her.

    hmmm hun you could just do what I do with the ittis and cut some liners out of flannelle, cotton velour or bamboo velour. Then they wont rash. I haven't had a problem with them moving yet either.

    I hated BG so can't give you any tips there. Everything about them I hated. I prefer snaps not velcro and I hate microfibre, can't touch the stuff... eeek!

    I'd be inclined to try and sell the BG's so at least then you'll be getting a bit of money back. And buy just enough natural nappies to get away with. (Ie. enough for 1-2 days.)

    Does Ella wear nappies full time? I have Caelan in undies at home, I just put a nappy on Caelan before his day sleep and at night. Most of the time we get the wees, but there are still accidents.

    Do you prefer AIO/2 or will you try fitted? This sounds good:

    did u gte much for them??? what condition where they in i know mine some have some dirt marks on the pul but im sure with persistance would come off i just never bothered. im gunna strip wash them all today and see what i can do then take pics and sell them. ella will have too be in the ittis for abit with flannel liners until i can get some natural inners for her. i think selling is my best option.

    i reckon sell them, do a hot wash and get them super clean and you should be right - if they are stained than make sure you mention that
