Hi, just thinkin ahead really as have applied for a job that if i get could be startin march/april time and ds will be goin to a childminder mon - fri, if dont get the job then will be at college in sept and ds will be at nursery. Just wondered what nappies u all use to send to nursery/childminders etc, and what do u put in them as inserts etc etc. Thanks Natalie x
I think most people tend to use pockets for childcare because they are more simple to use. However I'm a childminder & would be happy with anything cloth I hate putting sposies on minded children
Personally I'd wait till you have your childcare sorted & ask them, you may find they've used them before & can tell you what they like!
We use pockets 100% of the time at home so we just send BG's or WNOS. The Nursery have experience of fitted with wraps though and lets be honest, nappies are not difficult!
Fitteds and either fleece flongies or interlock soakers under trousers/tights and dresses... We've not had any problems, Faye is the first child for all 3 of the girls caring for her who has been sent in cloth and they've caught on pretty quick
I just send whichever ones I reach for first really, I usually try to send a couple of fitteds and a couple of pockets/AIOs. DD's childminder has used cloth on her own children though - in fact I think she used to use terries (she had no idea you could get all these pretty patterned ones until she saw DD's so I think I may have started an addiction there - oops lol) so they don't really bother her.
However my family seem to find them quite difficult so if any of them are looking after DD I try to send aplix pockets/AIOs as much as poss, or if I have to send poppers then I try to send front snapping ones rather than side snaps.
