i get my 15 BG's today or tomorrow.. excited yet scared to use them...doing just daytime cloth to start off with:)

do you guys recommend an extra insert in them? I have a great friend (thankyou :) ) who will sew me some liners and stuff.. or shall i get flushable liners or what?:) I am pretty clueless.. I know he's just a normal wetter so not massively heavy..though i do change nappies every few hours even at night..

When Leo first started in cloth (5mths) he was fine with just one insert. I didn't need to add a booster until around 10-11mths when he started teething and wetting more. Just see how you go with the one insert first, if it's sopping or leaking under 2hrs then you'll need something else. You can boost easily & cheaply with microfibre cleaning cloths (sold in bulk at Mitre 10 Mega in the cleaning section) or you can buy slim hemp boosters off TM without adding too much bulk. Hope that helps!

Good luck & enjoy your BGs!

I never bothered with liners, that's what the microfleece is for!

And inserts, maybe 2? Trial and error usually

We never use liners. I have a couple but they have never been touched.

I agree with Vic, just see how long one insert lasts and go from there.

Good luck!

I don't use liners (only have used them when Josh was having heavy duty clean on his butt) but it is an each to their own.

I have to have 2 inserts in Josh's nappy, but try 1 and see how long it lasts and then try 2 see what works for you.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

During the day I just use the 2 inserts that come with the BG (the cotton babies OSFA & the newborn doubler) and that does Livvy just fine.

We don't use liners either but Livvy only poos every 3-4 days so we don't have to deal with much poo. Might be a different story if she pooed all the time.

The thing that amuses me about people who use liners and have a bubba that does solid poos (rather than newborn runny poos) is what is the difference between tipping a liner in the loo vs without one? The poop just rolls off the nappy, it doesn't need rinsing

Since teething Leo's poo has never been solid enough to just roll off without rinsing - so I use a fleece liner as it's easier to stretch when rinsing the poo.

Inserts lovey, I'm sewing you some inserts!!!

And no I don't use liners, just rinses of easily enough (what doesn't do down the loo that is), but Rohann doesn't poo lots (at this stage anyway )

You haven't seen Jacks poo by the time I catch him its smooshed right into his nappy so a liner is a must here, none actually comes off just by shaking it over the loo.

Liners are a personal preference, depends how you feel about dealing with the poo If it is not going to just 'roll off' then a liner makes it much easier to deal with if you don't fancy the idea of rinsing.
As for the extra insert - depends how much he wets, takes some trial and error to find the right combination of inserts and how many you will need.

Best of luck

I'm definately on the use liners side here, I get flushable ones so the whole lot goes.

Had lots of trouble early on this pregnancy dealing with naps, so have just got back into it again and yesterday had a 4 poo day! Not nice, today was back to normal - thank goodness was nearly enough to put me off again!

It depends on how heavy a wetter your child is. I purchased four extra inserts because they take longer to dry than the BGs. I've never needed more than one but my child isn't a heavy wetter either.

Yup, gremlins are smooshers too Add in the fact that they poop on average 3 times each a day and you'll see why I use liners

Daniels gets all squished and sticky but it still manages to roll off the fleece even if it isnt hard.. guess I must be "lucky".

I use the Johnsons liners from the supermarket. They were great when Jack was little as the nappy was alot cleaner. We did go through a stage when they were alot firmer and it seemed pointless, but with this latest lot of teeth it has all turned alot softer and smellier so I am greatful for liners!
