Default How do you choose what to take?

Right - I am sitting here trying to cull what I need to take on my holiday. I have too many nappies that I am way too obsessed over!

I have 6 night nappies, 15 fitted nappies and about - umm - too scared to count all my AIO's/pocket. Maybe 15-20 packed.

I sooo dont need them all but I want to take them I know, I have to show the QLD NC ers my yummies

Well, we are going away for 3.5 weeks. I'm taking:

- all Alastair's itti bitti AIOs (8) plus 4 spare booster sets.
- 2 pockets with enough room for night stuffing, plus 4 sets of night-worthy stuffing (I will hand-wash the pocket shells when necessary)
- 6 terry flats
- 2 PUL covers

If I have any spare room, I'll chuck in a few prefolds.

I plan to wash every second day, and tumble-dry (though I'll try to hang the itti shells over an airer in front of the heater cos I don't want to ruin them). The only time we won't have access to a dryer is 3 nights in a hotel in Glasgow, and I plan to hand-wash there.

I have no NCers to show off to though - my priorities are quick-drying and space-saving (hence the ittis).

If you take too many, you won't have room in your port for bringing any new ones back lol!!

But seriously how long are you away for. I would take quicker drying nappies - if it was me it would be terry flats, a couple of covers and a couple of night nappies It's STILL raining here

Ok, this is how I decided: I chose 6 that I really wanted to take (Christmas ones, reliable ones) and decided to buy some flats when I arrived. After I had packed everything, I just filled the holes with nappies. Ended up taking about 24 altogether which was plenty
