OMG 1 day until your wedding? What are you doing posting about nappies 
Have a great day! Can't help with the nappies yet sorry, but I'm definitely going to be investigating these mythical itti bittis when the time comes  ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

They really are gorgeous aren't they? Did you get mediums for your little guy? I'd love to hear what you think as I've bought a few mediums to use on our new baby as I'm just so in love with them!
I have actually just bought 2 more for my 2yr old as well as they're perfect for his naps and overnight with a bamboo booster (the's toilet trained during the day). He's in a large but even at nearly 15kg they still fit him great. I'm sure you could use that to talk your DH around -------------

Yup, i'm a sucker and just ordered a couple of large one from Tweedle this morning, that will teach DH for going to golf today and leaving me to cope with the chaos Tried one of the mediums on Joel this morning and they fit great around his belly but still a bit gappy around his legs, so just need to fatten him up a bit so they fit better, but he's only just 6kgs (12 weeks) and I thought I would get a couple every few weeks of the large so Leah can wear them now and Joel will go into them when they fit - yay -------------

Yip they're definately addictive - I'd love to do what Emma did and trade in all my other naps for a purely itti bitti collection but somehow don't think that would go down well with DH! I love how they just keep looking brand new wash after wash... ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">

You ladies will understand then that I nearly died of excitement when my DH announced that Itti Bitti's were his favourite MCN to use on Leo and agreed right off the bat to getting only Itti Bitti's for the new baby (once mediums fit that is). They just look and feel so beautiful and I agree - wash after wash they still look and feel great! -------------

So yesterday I thought I would try Joel in one of the new naps, there was only a little gap when I pushed his legs up so I thought cool, he wore that one all afternoon, if I had spare snap ins I could have reused the outer it was still good to go. I changed him into another at 5pm, thinking he would wake about 9.30pm and I went to a meeting, came home, completely forgot he was in cloth and he didn't wake till 1am!! No leaks, nothing and he had done a BF poo as well!!! I am so impressed with that and of course his wee butt looks so damn cute in the ittis that you could take bites out of it -------------

hehehehe, I managed to convince DH to let me buy loads of these, Spencer is now in them full time and I have a few small ones for the new bubba too. Am selling some of my other nappies now so I can buy some more mediums I have also converted two ladies from my antenatal group -------------

I've just recieved my 'Baker's dozen' of Itti Bittis - they are soooo soft and scrummy. How many times do you need to wash them before using them?
Can't wait to get them on Zach's bot. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I washed them just once, but then for the first few wears I changed him after a couple of hours instead of the usual 3-4. -------------

I have a bakers dozen too - I only washed them once before using, but just changed more often until they had been washed more.
So in love witrh them though - never had a leak, and we have some big BF poosplosions in this house! -------------

I'm jealous too 
I don't even wash mine before putting on dd... tho I only leave it on 1-2 hours before chaning lol :D I'm just too impatient. You don't have to dry between washes either if you are washing to boost absorbancy, as its the oils out of the bamboo that you are trying to get rid of and drying has no affect on those :) ------------- Trudie Mum to Max (18 May 05) and Ava (9 April 08) http://lilypie.com">

Did any of you get the booster pads, I was thinking of getting some but wasn't sure whether to get the bamboo or microfleece ones. -------------

I have a couple of bamboo mini boosters which I use for overnight, but I've never needed them during the day with my toddler. -------------

Leah got all upset today asking for new nappies for her, the large mint one was not quite dry on the line so I put it on her and she danced around and didn't want shorts on, just her "pretty nappy" as she put it -------------

I love the bright green! They are so soft and absorbant. Even work fairly well when DS sleep on his tummy in them. I make sure I always have one ready for when I head out. Think I might have to get some more for Christmas.

So what do you ladies find the best for getting stains out of the inserts?????? Leah has had 3 major explosions today in her new naps and the inserts no longer are a pretty white -------------
|
, before I do too much to them what do you recommend??Posted By: Alianasmummy
Date Posted: 20 November 2008 at 8:59pm
|
Leahandjoel just wash them and hang them in the sun! it might take a couple of gos but it does work. I was gutted when Alis started staining but weve had some awesome sunny days lately and they are all bright white again. Its weird that we worry that the inserts arnt white, they are only going to be pood on again!
My fav on Aliana is the fuscia, its so girly and fun i love it. Xavier likes it too but i only let him wear it when we are at home, I think i will be hasseled a bit about that if we were in public
Although his green nappy is still the first to be chosen. He loves to pick the colours and makes itti nappy trains all over the house, il have to take photos next time he does it ------------- http://lilypie.com">  tickers" /></a>
