Is going OK so far, I've been using the Bitti Boos with either covers or a soaker and so far so good.
I'm less impressed with the soakers, Mercedes one was saturated when she woke up yesterday, as was her sleep sack, but I wonder if that's coz they need lanolising? They were fine the first couple of nights. Also, the dye out of the wool has bled onto the velour of the nappies

But with the Bummis covers they seem to work beautifully, so might keep the soakers to use as pants coz they are super cute!

I've just ordered some Totsbots fluffies fitteds to try from Snazzipants and some extra boosters coz I only have 4 and I can never find them when I need them. And we haven't had a sposie in the house since last week

Maybe they do need to be lanolised. I find with Daniels soaker that if he pees excessively more than normal then it's kinda dampish but never soaked and his pjs are always dry.

Ignore that. Tom does not know what he is talking about. Now really quickly befre he returns....where do you start with fitteds and soakers? I am thinking of trying this as Tom is often leaking at night due to tummy sleeping.

I agree that the covers might need relanolizing. I've just done Leo's longies and it was super easy and not at all messy using solid pure lanolin. I bought it from the chemist from the pharmasist, much cheaper than buying the prepackaged stuff.

Maya - not trying to put you off but just wanted to warn you that I've heard that Tots Fluffies are really bulky. Of course that might not bother you at all, just wanted to let you know so you're not surprised

We are currently using a Monkey Doodlez fitted with a superbrite cover + a Doubler and a tweedle hemp/microfibre trifold. Makes for a massive nappy but see's my mega wetter through the night 13 hours no leaks. I am actually going to order some more from Mothers Instinct because it is just so good.
No sposies in our house for a good 4 months now

Thanks for the heads up!

ETA: I hope they fit under my medium covers

LOL - after seeing Leo's huge bum tonight nothing could be bigger (or more gorgeous) than a DB hemp fitted & merino cover, but it didn't seem to bother him in the slightest. I took pictures which I'll try and upload tomorrow - I can just see the caption now..."Does my bum look big in this?"
