Aussie MCN-Rumparooz, BabyKanga, Gro Baby

I LOVE the idea of MCNs. Has anyone tried the Aussie Brands - Rumparooz Pockets, Baby Kanga pockets or Gro Baby snap ins (all OSFA)? Gro Baby is the only one sold in NZ (on MothersInstinct site).

I have been to a HoneyChild demo and I like pocket nappies but maybe snap ins are better for me??? I have hired a MCN kit for 2 months for when our girl is due so I will have plenty of time to try out all the different types of naps.

Originally I wanted only NZ made brands but if I have to go Aussie then I will. I have family that can bring my order over at christmas once we have decided.

Has anyone had a really bad time with
- OSFA?
- Pockets or snap ins?
- Velcro/Aplix vs snaps?

Cheers all :)

Personally, I prefer sized (not OSFA) because I think you get a neater fit on a smaller baby and they're less bulky, and I prefer snaps to velcro because I hate when velcro sticks to things in the wash & causes pilling, plus babies can undo velcro easier than snaps

I had some small Honeychild pocket nappies that were just gorgeous on my newborn - he wore them til about 6-8wks old (he was 4.1kg/9lb at birth). They're a really well-made nappy and stay looking nice, plus they dry quickly (I also used larges on my toddler). But now that my little man is into medium nappies I'm using a mix of Itti Bitti D'lish AIOs (also Aussie-made) as they are really trim, absorbent & require no stuffing or snapping (all the absorbency is attached!) and Muttaqin fitted nappies (from the USA) with wool overtop (lanolised as a waterproof layer).

Hey hun,

Now assuming you are who I think you are (if this doesnt make sense then whoops - wrong person).

As an FYI, Jake was in itti's at the demo and you saw the small HC still fitted him at 3 months (and still does on the same snaps at nearly 4 months).

I love my Fuzzi's (similiar to HC but a different fit) as I can manage the absorbency. Also, I have more inserts than pockets as they take longer to dry.. it means I am not waiting on nappies.

I also love my itti's. I have both the all in one and the snap in one. I find the AIO are a snugger fit on Jakes small frame, but now he is getting a bit bigger I am finding the SIO is starting to fit him a bit better.

I think its a great idea to use the hire kit to get an idea of what works best for YOUR baby.

Oh, if your kit doesnt have a HC or Itti bitti I am more than happy to lend you one of each of mine if you like

I will say that I am a big fan of sized nappies, OSFA are way to bulky on Jake.

well if you want to borrow any of our naps just let me know
