Having found out that we're expecting a baby boy ( ), I've been on the hunt for more boy-ish nappies. I don't know if it's because I'm so used to buying for Iris, but all the more boy-ish things seem ... well, boring. (With huge apologies to those with boys!) I'm OK at buying more gender neutral stuff (prints like mint zoo or GHMILY; or colours like green or purple), but I just can't seem to bring myself to get specifically boy-type nappies. (Yes, I know I could just use pink/pretty ones on him, but I don't think he'd thank me in years to come when he looks back on his baby photos! )
I'm also trying to make an effort to pick up some pockets, too. I remember that Iris was a nightmare at changing time when she learned how to crawl, so best to get back into them sooner rather than later, as I'm probably going to have to use them at some point. But the very thought of PUL makes me shudder, so I'm finding it difficult. I've become too hard core with Iris' uber-wetting and only fitteds and wool appeal.
Has anyone got any favourite boy nappies that they'd like to point me in the direction of?
Oh, and as an aside. How much wool do you think I'd need for a newborn? We didn't get into it until Iris was about four months old - and even then she only had a couple of pairs of longies, so wasn't in wool much! I was still into pockets at that stage.
