First nappy and not impressed - help!
Hey ladies
My son is two weeks old and I tried him in a reusable for the first time yesterday. I'd pre-washed it but only once, as per the instructions, with no fabric conditioner. I didn't mind so much how bulky it was on him compared to disposables but he was boiling hot when we undressed him and he was soaked through to his vest. This was after about 3 hours of wearing it. It's a lollipop microfibre fleece with a separate wrap. I didn't put the booster pad in as it already looked massive on him!
I've washed it again now and will try it again tomorrow but I was so disappointed. I really want to use reusables as much as possible but I'll be sending the unwashed nappies back if things don't improve with a few more washes....can anyone offer me some words of encouragement / advice?!
Cheers in advance!
