Thanks Lemoncurd for your advice. I have seen the Motherese nappies (on the internet) where one fits all and they look good as they are adjustable and you don't have to go out to my another size when your child gets bigger. I'll buy a one of them with a pack of disposable liners and try it out.... Ebay sell them new for under £10.

I'll also have a look again at the WAitrose one size fit all ones as they to my memory look just like the Motherese ones and it will be easy for me to just pop to the shops and buy it.

Why do you need the net? It this so that you don't have to touch the nappies or is this because the net is needed when they are being washed in the washing machine?

By the way do any shops sell the Motherese nappies?

The waitrose ones are motherease! Waitrose stock motherease, they are good nappies and the wraps are pretty much about the best you can buy.

happy shopping :-)

i've got a couple of one size nappies upstairs that still look too big on splodge even though he's 14 lbs. they would fit him if i used the poppers etc. correctly but i don't think any of his clothes would fit over them, except sleepsuits so maybe i should start using them for bed, see if they last a few hours before he wants changing. one is a motherease, the other one is snugwee, it's very thick and is lined with something a bit velvety, it says sherpa and something else on the nappy. they both fit into a medium motherease wrap.

you might not need many wraps if your child does 'proper' poo, mine has explosive runny poo so a wrap rarely lasts more than one or two nappy changes before it's got poo on it, i'm not using wraps all the time though, i only have 2 that fit and we're using all in ones when the wraps are in the wash. i did think i didn't need liners because they weren't catching the poo, it was going everywhere but i've since realised that without the liner my baby feels wet and wants changing more often, and his skin could get sore from being in contact with the wee.

disposable liners haven't damaged my machine but maybe that's because they're in a wash net? bambino mio do a pack of 2 nets for the bucket. i have noticed that if a liner's been washed twice it tears easily (cotton bottoms brand, 200 for £4.50 from boots, the pack says it will last about a month but it lasts longer if you're not flushing each one), you only have to look at it lol! so if i washed them more times than twice maybe they'd come apart in the machine and the bits would come out of the net and into the workings of the machine.

as for stains, i've found that if a nappy is stained after one wash the stain will come out if it's washed a second time, also hanging on the line to dry in the sunshine helps bleach stains.
