Thanks Karyn, but I just really can't see how you can fit another insert in. The nappy itself is so tiny! I'll give experiment a bit longer before deciding if I'll keep it or not.

Vic xx

On their website it suggests using another set of boosters from the d'lish if you have one. So I would pop another trifold in there. Adding the topper insert is really not adding much more absorbency.

It also says that they can be used for light to medium wetters overnight.

I would suggest adding some more boosting. The snap ins are hemp so will require a bit of washing to reach their peak.]]> Sat, 17 May 2008 13:40:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=386328&title=fluffy-post#386328 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=386302&title=fluffy-post#386302 Author: Maya

I boost mine with either a Snazzipants doubler in between the two Bittiboo inserts, or a Berry Plush insert in between them, the BP is probably overkill but I am short on doublers till my order from Snazzipants arrives.]]> Sat, 17 May 2008 13:10:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=386302&title=fluffy-post#386302 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=386247&title=fluffy-post#386247 Author: kiwivic

My DB package arrived today!!! They look gorgeous and the fitted nappy looks so lovely and soft. Talk about mega absorbancy though!!!!!! There are so many layers of mega hemp & bamboo I can't see how it could be outwet! DH laughed and said 'will we actually get that thing done up?'

Also, have my longies in a bucket lanolizing as I type - so nervous to actually try them out over a fitted nappy though. It seems like nothing has changed except they're sitting in a bucket of water! Wish me luck!

http://www.tinybirdsorganics.com/organicwool/woolpants.html

The above link was the pattern I used. Click on the downloadable PDF file for full, printable instructions. I used the pattern using straight needles, instead of circular needles, and I made the largest size for Leo. In the instructions for knitting the main body part it says to knit 80 rows or until knitting reaches 10 inches - my 80 rows was bigger than 10 inches but I wanted to make sure that it was big enough to fit over a night nappy and last night it was on over a disposable and wasn't at all too long, so I'd recommend knitting the full 80 rows, rather than going by knitted length. I also added on a few extra rows at the bottom of the legs, before doing the ribbing, to allow for growth, as they can easily be folded up at the bottom if too long

I'm off to the wool shop this morning for some more wool to make another pair and will also pick up some lanolin to lanolise the ones I've already made so that Leo can wear them over his Bitti Boo

Just to let you know - Becks from Ecobubs is absolutely fantastic and has always gone out of her way to help me out when I have ordered from her in the past.

Definitely give her another call if you suspect the naps have gone missing... did they come by courier or post?

Hmmmmmm, the Bitti Boo was a bit bulkier than the D'lish and didn't quite cover with an unstuffed Fuzzi, so will have to wait until my DB cover arrives to give it a try. On the other hand I had Leo try on the longies to see if they fit (which they did perfectly, even without a waist tie!) and he loved them so much he wouldn't take them off! He got really upset when I tried to get them off him so he ended up going to bed in them (unlanolized) ]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 22:50:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=383816&title=fluffy-post#383816 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=383692&title=fluffy-post#383692 Author: kiwivic

Big bugga about the 'lost' fluffy mail! But don't let it put you off, atleast it is getting sorted now.

Awww I'm so jealous of the bitti boo fluffy mail. I'm waiting for MI to get more in so I can order mine, the only colour they have left in Medium is gold, and I want a girly colour for Sophie. Am v tempted to get a d'lish at the same time, but after my big DB purchase yesterday I better not... DH would kill me!

Ecobubs are expensive, too! That's alot of money to be missing/late in the post... I would bug them about it, I have never had a fluffy mail go missing - had one take a couple of weeks, and in the end she sent out another (was a DB cover) then after I'd gotten the 2nd one, she found the first package under the seat of her car which I think is perfectly reasonable to blame on the little boy sitting behind it.]]> Wed, 14 May 2008 13:53:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=383273&title=fluffy-post#383273 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17211&PID=383253&title=fluffy-post#383253 Author: kiwivic

I just went to check the mail, hoping I would find my DBs package, but instead I was surprised by my Bitt Boo fitted which I only ordered online on Sunday night! Considering I had to wait for my online banking transfer to clear, and the post to arrive, I think this is outstanding CS from Mother's Instinct!! Thanks Karyn

I have to say, the Bitt Boo feels sooooooooo gorgeous!! It's like nothing else I've ever felt. The bamboo velour is so soft and snuggly - I wish all of Leo's nappies felt like this! I got Sky Blue which is a gorgeous baby blue colour and the inside is a natural colour, which looks lovely. Can't wait to try it out tonight - might try a Foxybots nappy (no inserts) overtop for a cover.

Oh I love fluffy post!!!
