I am looking at getting bamboozles by totsbots for my newborn. They are made from bamboo and are meant to be very good.
Has anyone out there used them. Also how many nappies do I need for a newborn? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I haven't tried a bamboozle yet, but I love bamboo nappies. I would say at the very least 15 for a nb, as bamboo is slow drying. (and that's if bubs was due in summer... so 20 min?)
I found this on TM the other day, and I SO wish I could afford to bid... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Baby-gear/Nappies-changing/Nappies/Cloth/auction-148679171.htm Not totsbots, but an OSFM (say "OSFA" but wouldn't fit a large toddler, but do fit my skinny one) Not sure how it would go on a nb though. I love the one I have, it's so soft and really absorbant. -------------

I love them so soft and a great fit! I have always recommend 15 fitted nappies and 3 covers. ------------- http://www.thebabyview.com/" rel="nofollow - The Baby View for mums who love to shop |

I haven't got them but everytime I go into Snazzi's I eye them up - so far DH hasn't taken the hint.
They look lovely and soft though. I think you need about 12 a day to start with so you'll need more unless you want to be washing constantly. -------------

I've got them though I only 4 as I really only use them at night - they are great I really like them but they are slow drying. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I haven't tried Bamboozles but they're be on my "I'm having another baby with an unlimited cloth nappy budget" list!
I'd recommend having 20 nappies for a newborn, which would allow 10 nappies per day if you were going to wash every 1-2 days. Vic xx |

They take aaaaaaaaages to dry, so you'd probably need more rather than less. I have not come across anyone that has used them as a system so I can't tell you what I've heard about that.
I used them as a night nappy for a very short period of time but didn't get sorted with any liners so gave up in favour of pockets. ANywya, back to your actual question - I'd say atleast 15 and 3-4 covers. |
