Bambino Mio help please - update
We tried using these when Lily was a few weeks old but the wees just came straight out the leg hole (gave up before she had a chance to do a poo as that would have been MESSY!) so we decided to try again once she'd porked out a bit.
She's now 7 weeks and chubby, so we tried again today but it's been a total disaster - on the first try, after just 2 hours the inner cloth was saturated and so were her vest and trousers. On try 2 the wee leaked out the leg hole straight away and when I had a look at the inner she'd only done a tiny little one - it just hadn't absorbed AT ALL.
I'm using the "loose stools" fold as shown on the BM website, without the disposable liner (have been told that more is absorbed without the liner). I'm very careful to make sure the inner doesn't poke out anywhere, but the leg holes on the outer part just seem to gape, no matter how I adjust them.
I'm now washing all the inners in the hope that they'll be more absorbent - did anyone find this helped? They don't even seem able to contain the wee - am dreading a poo!
Anyone struggled with these but found they eventually got on with them? Any advice welcome as they cost a fortune and I'm loathe to give up on them

Other than that - no idea as I dont' use bambino mios cause i didnt like the look of them.
Not really sure what to suggest about the gaping round the legs, we did have that a little at first but not so much now that she's getting bigger.
I hope that you manage to get them working for you, it's so frustrating when you've spent money on something that doesn't seem to work!
I'm switching between the "loose stools" fold and the normal fold - thanks Poz - but haven't settled on which one I prefer yet as we have yet to have a poo in them! (put her in a disposable just for going out to mother & baby group this morning, just in case - and lo and behold, a poo :roll: )
Will be back with another exciting update when I've seen if they can stand up to one of Lily's explosive number 2s.
Just wanted to update so that anyone browsing wondering which reusables to go for won't be misled.
We found the loose poo fold a bit rubbish and went with the standard fold and now use the boy fold, we too washed the inners first and we always use liners!
So glad you are happy with them!
