It is definatly trial an error.
Usually on WN the border goes at the front and to put it on lay it out as Tory said with the wings at the top, kind of in a T shape (does that make sense?) and then pop bubs on pull the front up between legs as normal and the pull the tabs round tummy and fasten, they fasten at the sides.
What other sorts of nappies do you have so we can see if we can help there and don't be afraid of asking questions, you should see some of the stuff I asked at first :hohoho:

Aha it must be right then, perhaps I have pulled it too far round to do up. :giggle:

I will do a list in a bit and update as I try if you ladies don't mind my chatter!! I already asked a lot of questions when I bought the nappies and thought I would be ok but perhaps I was too positive :oops:

Good news is the council are letting me used preloved receipts to claim the cash back so I will now be able to stock up on some more inserts and I do think I might need some boosters :giggle:

Yeah i culdnt believe it, when ,my daughter was born (she is 3) it was £30 cashback and that was it, so you can imagine how happy I was when my HV gave me a new leaflet and it had been upped to £100 :mrgreen: My hubby still has no idea how much I have spent on nappies...infact I dont really, i wouldnt like to add it all up :oops: :giggle:

I have sent a pm to evansmummy about the nappy (bought off her) - she will be able to shed some light :wink:

My trick was I went on the weenotions site, custom built a nappy with embroidery and showed him how much a cloth nappy costs new :lol: he now thinks I am getting bargains x (have avoided mothercare and boots etc when out with him :giggle: )
