I was finally happy with my nappy lot when I had enough nappies and inserts for 2 days and washed daily. There was pretty much always a load dry and a load hanging to dry. Now I have tonnes because I have only one bubba in day naps for the first time since I started buying MCN!]]> Sun, 24 Feb 2008 20:49:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14622&PID=310493&title=inserts#310493 <![CDATA[Inserts : i wouldn&#039;t bother either...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14622&PID=310452&title=inserts#310452 Author: jack_&_charli

Don't worry, you'll be fine! I have more mf than hemp as I was late to discover hemp but we still get on fine without any leaks. I use 2 x mf insert for the day and a hemp flat with a mf insert at night. If I were going to do it all over again I'd probably get hemp boosters to go with my mf inserts as it would be a slimmer option than 2 mf inserts together, but hey - it's still a slim nappy and we don't have any leaks. The best thing about pockets is you can stuff them with whatever you want/have! I have a stash of big mf cloths which I got from Mitre 10 Mega on special and that way if I do have a washing emergency I can always use those to boost my nappies. It's not my first choice but they work fine.

Hey Stacey - how's your back doing? I'd heard from someone on another cloth nappy board that you're out of action in the sewing department for a while? I'm really sorry to hear that - both on the pain side & because I'm sure you're itching to do something with that beautiful new fabric you have. Wishing you a speeding recover.

I don't have extras. I have 2 inserts per nappy for daytime use and I have 3ish days worth and then my crazy amount of inserts for night time and I have 3 lots of that.

I don't see the point in "extra" inserts, I wash every day or second so I have no need for extras.]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:15:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14622&PID=308846&title=inserts#308846 <![CDATA[Inserts : I have about half as many extra...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14622&PID=308769&title=inserts#308769 Author: kiwivic

I have about half as many extra inserts as I do nappies - although I wash every day and they only take a few hours to dry so I rarely have to break into the extras in the summer time.

My little fulla has 2 microfibre inserts (which is 6 layers of microfibre) during the day and it lasts him about 3 hours. At night I add about 3 layers of bamboo, for about 12 hours.

It depends how heavy your kids wet! Seb is a light wetter and only needs 1 microfibre trifold, or an unbleached (snappied) prefold on it's own with no booster, but alot of kiddies would need more than that. Hemp/microfibre is a good combo, and bamboo is also apparently really good. I use a hemp/microfibre trifold in Seb's overnight pocket, and it lasts him 12 hours.... again most kids would need at least 2 of those though!

Edited for clarification.

I found Stacey's trifold inserts to be fantastic at the moment. In fact her nappies are becoming my nappy du jour right now (or should that be nappy du nuit as I like them as my night nappy).

what are you stuffing them in to???

i used to use an insert and a doubler (just a smaller insert really) into my fuzzi bunz for a couple of hours use and for night 1 flat and a microfibre insert.

Ok 2 questions here
1. How many inserts do I need to put in during the day and then at night? I've been stuffing as many as I can in but then I go through them so fast I don't have any left so how many do I really need?

2.Whats the cheapest place to get them they are all so expensive or can I make my own? I tried stuffing a few flannels in but that didn't work so well lol.]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:42:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14622&PID=306483&title=inserts#306483
