Another resuable nappy question
Sorry, there seems have been loads of questions about resuable nappy questions in the last few days!
Anyway, Im thinking of changing to these, LO is nearly 4 months and im sick of his disposibles leaking! After reading all your lovely posts on here about resuables, Ive decided to give it a go.
My question is what do you need to take out with you in the changing bag? Will it all fit?
Im thinking of getting the bumgenius birth to potty kit - would you recommend this?
Thanks

Another few questions -
DS's poos can stink sometime, if he poos while we are out, will I still be able to smell it in the wet bag? and is there anything i can do to help this.
Do I need boosters and liners with a pocket nappy?
and now ive nearly got my head around the nappies, its on to wipes... what do i need, and what about when im out and about.
thanks!
I have never b een able to smell the nappies once they are in the wetbag. I use a roll-top one designed for outdoor pursuits (it's actually a 'drybag' but works as well keeping wetness in as out!) and it's fab and very compact.
You may need additional boosters in the pocket nappy if your DS is a heavy wetter but you can prestuff them before you go out, you wouldn't need to carry loose boosters. Liners, it's up to you, but most pockets are fleece or minkee lined which provides a staydry layer, and personally I never bother.
Wipes - I have a wide selection of cloth wipes acquired over the last 4 years, I take them out in a little bag. I also carry a bottle of foaming diaper wipe solution which I puff onto the wipe before using it. Cheeky wipes are supposed to be very good too.
Liners are good as it's a useful way of getting rid of poo etc without having to wipe so much off the nappy - they also tend to get less stained this way too.
Check out the cheeky wipes as even if you don't get the wipes, they do a really good travel kit which is a clean bag and a dirty's bag.The dirty bag is great as it has a mesh inner which unzips from the main outer so you can stick the mess bag straight in the wash without having to unload wipes from it.
Finally I also have cheeky wipes, I just got the set with one tub and a mini wetbag as put the dirty ones in with nappies. I rarely use disposable wipes but as I also have about a zillion packs from being far too prepared when pregnant I'll probably just use them when we start weaning!
So can I just use any fleece for liners? I have loads of fleece blankets that i dont use (went through a crazy stage of buying blankets in the last few weeks of PG and now lo sleeps in sleeping bags)
I dreamt about nappies last night, I have a feeling this is a slippery slope to addiction!!

Got some BGv3 and coolababys to try. Then going to add others to my collection over time!
Cant wait till they are delivered!
mrs setters told me about them and i'm bloody addicted now. however i decided all LOs child benefit would be spent exclusively on toys, 'posh' clothes, or anything she took a fancy to really (for now...this wont continue into a 'get anything she wants' as she gets older! lol) so i think a few custom nappies fit that bill hehehe off to finish designing my new one
Thanks mybutler, about how many washes do you think it takes, im planning on washing them a few times before using them. They cant be any worse than disposables! Im sick of them now.
