Tory what size does Kieran need? I have a L front-snapping Fuzbaby felted wrap and a sidesnapping Holdens landing stretch interlock wrap waiting to be grown into, you would be welcome to borrow them to see how they works for you.

I have been thinking about switching Oz over more to normal clothes lately but I always found pockets leaked more with normal clothes than fitteds with wraps. I made a load of fleece soakers and they fit fine under his normal clothes but I do need to change him a little more frequently than PUL but it also depends on the clothes. Jeans I find seem to squash the nappy more so it leaks through.

It's a shame they don't make PUL wraps but with fleece edges so you wouldn't get the red marks.

They do! Shorty-style wraps. When Lili was smaller practically all we used were Lovebums, they were fab (nicer than the Stacinator So Simple wraps and more adjustable), fit fine under clothes and very kind to chubby thighs. Sadly I don't think they're making them any more, and this style of wrap doesn't seem to have caught on in the UK yet. It's all the rage in France though :wink:

What about a puddlekins ss wool wrap? http://www.puddlekins.com/shop/product. ... roduct=293 Ems is closed at the mo but opening very soon, you could have it dyed to your choice of colour too :D
I had a sw wrap but found the large was on the small size and DD was a heavy wetter, so it didn't matter how much I lanilosised (sp?) it wasn't leakproof for us :(

I love the look of the puddlekins side snap wraps but they are a little out of my price range atm :(

well i got the last two large swaddlebees front fastening wool wraps from baby kind and they are GREAT! (well one has arrived and one is still to get here) they fit sooo well :shock: I am loving them and so glad i decided to try them out...its in lanolin now :wink: fits fine over a large DnF :mrgreen:

I also got another fleece soaker, a pumpkin pants one and its great, so cute on kieren :wine:

I also have been trying out some BG's that i was leant and they are fabby too...K doesnt seem to get rashy in them either which i was worried about. Not sure i can afford a load of BG's to add to the stash but i might get some coolababy again...dont know...i still love my fitteds :giggle:

So now apart from longies/shorties etc we have#

2 wool swaddlebees wraps
1 interlock lush tush soaker
1 mummy knitted soaker
2 fleece soakers

so i think we are good to wear normal clothes now! :wine: just need to buy some more :giggle:
