Nappies
What kind of nappys are people using? We bought loads of pampers and I really liked, then someone told me to try tesco's own so we bought some to try and I must say they are just as good as pampers!! The only difference I found is they are a bit thicker (not much) and the velcro bit is a little thinner, just wondered what make of nappies everyone else is using and how they are finding them.
Well done kia for using reusables, your very brave!!!! xxx

Stage 1 pampers in Boots are on 2 for ??6 and you get double advantage points (48) if in baby club. Bargain!
Tried some more reusables again tonight and either we are doing something wrong or Cole is a champion at weeing! When he wees he soaks through the nappy so we end up changing the wrap too...so I think we don't have enough wraps! Definately sticking with disposables at night and out and about...far easier!
OH bought some Sainsburys own as they were cheap and 'oh my god' - it resulted in 3 changes of clothes, an emergency bath in the sink and a very unhappy baby! There are awful, thick and leak everywhere.
We've just stocked up on Pampers in Boots with the 2 for ??6 offer too.
im on to huggies now as they r a bit more snug than the pampers newborn. although the bigger pampers are very different to the newborn and better than the bigger huggies...?!?odd

Went to change him too early today, he had been very red in the face so thought better change him he has done a number 2! Looked in his nappy and managed to close it again quick as he decided to pee. Felt smug that I had caught it in time and took his nappy off only for him to poo all over his changing mat!! lol! Then he gave me a lovely big smile!!!! Little bugger! Lucky we love them so much isn't it!!!

Kia I reckon you need a special award for trying out reusables...I was so determined to do it, but I am not nearly enough sorted to cope with them yet...too busy trying to get the business up and running properly!
the one thing we use masses of is wipes, it might be because ive got two bums and mouths to wipe, but i have to buy 2 packets a week and with them i just buy whats on offer xx
Wipes - i've got 35 packets still in the cupboard as kept buying them from 20wks! Have a mixture of johnsons, huggies & pampers, my sil & friend both say johnsons for bum, pampers & huggies for faces etc, i have been using huggies on his bum but find them a bit wet & cold in the middle of the night! so using johnsons at night, Haven't used any pampers wipes yet, they are near the bottom of the box.
Sainsbury's also had Johnsons wipes on offer at half price but that was last week, might have finished now.

We have all sorts of wipes - asdas seem to be ok.. good job really as I just found loads of them!! Got huggies wipes downstairs - they are ok too but quite wet, johnson ones were cold at night and..um ..i think the pampers ones were okay - I can't remember cause they were the freebie ones and i used them in hospital! We try to use cotton wool and water in the daytime though rather than wipes.
Asda had their wipes on offer not so long ago - thats why I bought loads.
How often are you bathing your lo's? I top and tail Holly every day and bath her 3 times a week. Ive bathed her once in the big bath and am going to do it again tonight, she looks soo small in it bless her We bought one of the fabric bath supports and its great means I won't be terrified when it comes to bathing her on my own lol is anyone else using supports ect or are babys still in baby baths?
We bath cole every night - well I hold him and hubby plays with him and washes him. We use the baby bath and a bath support
Alfie has a bath daily because he pukes so much-all round his neck and in his hair-lovely!!!
We use a foam bath support in the bath as i find it just as easy as a baby bath. The supports are great as it gives you piece of mind that your lo isnt going to slip and slide everywhere!
