LOL MissShell, my thirsties contained a liquid explosion the other night...I now use my covers with flats folded in them they rock for absorbency, thank god the covers have the gusset though lol]]> Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:55:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1346773&title=covers-and-prefolds#1346773 <![CDATA[Covers and prefolds : I don&#039;t think we&#039;ve...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1346764&title=covers-and-prefolds#1346764 Author: mothermercury

I don't think we've ever had a leak from our Bummis. The Super Brites have a double leg gusset thing which I imagine would fit nicely for a newborn (although I mostly have Super Whisper Wraps, but my baby is well past the liquidy poopsplosion stage ).]]> Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:17:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1346764&title=covers-and-prefolds#1346764 <![CDATA[Covers and prefolds : I second thirsties.

I second thirsties. I've got both them a bummis and thisties gusset is way better at holding the liquidy stuff in.

I have used thirsties on my older son and have brought thirsties for this baby too. THey are great for keeping leaks in and don't leave marks on the baby either.

I haven't done it yet as I waiting a few weeks before starting cloth on my son but for this bubs I have 18prefolds and 5 covers. I think that should be enough as the cover dry so quickly. I do have one or two tiny all-in-one nappies that a friend gave me so will use those as a back up if my covers run out on a particularly pooy day. lol.]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 16:11:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345921&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345921 <![CDATA[Covers and prefolds : Thanks I&#039;ve got boosters,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345859&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345859 Author: jano1

Thanks I've got boosters, liners etc from DD for the small nappies I already own. I have just brought a couple of nb covers and have 6 prefolds on my watchlist. I guess I figured because it took DD awhile to fit small nappies this bub will probably be the same. The great thing about flats and covers is they fit nbs so well.]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 15:06:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345859&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345859 <![CDATA[Covers and prefolds : For a basic kit I would have 3/4...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345853&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345853 Author: Nothing

For a basic kit I would have 3/4 NB sized covers and 5/6 small sized covers. Depending on the size of bubs they might fit straight into smalls. You will need about 18 prefolds, and I would also get some hemp style boosters, so you can use them at night for longer.

You can pick all this up on TM for a bargain, you just have to have patience and keep looking for a while. I used to check it twice a day for all the new listings and picked up heaps of buy now bargains, otherwise ask and they might put them up. Your other option is to hire a kit.]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 14:59:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345853&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345853 <![CDATA[Covers and prefolds : I have lots of nappies S-L from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345750&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345750 Author: jano1

I have lots of nappies S-L from DD but have decided to use covers and prefolds for the next bub due in September until it is big enough to fit my S snazzipants. Last time I had a hire kit for NBs and found prefolds and covers worked really well when DD was tiny.

For those that use them, how many covers do I need? I'm guessing I'll be using them for 6-8 weeks so don't want too many. Also how many prefolds do you think I need?

TIA]]> Mon, 13 Jun 2011 13:09:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39561&PID=1345750&title=covers-and-prefolds#1345750
