I'm not going to go out and buy more as I love fitteds more than flats but sounds like I can do it with nippa'ing and I have got a Nature Babies wrap which should work and if I can work it out I'll put gussets in my home made wraps. I think I've got about 6 prefolds and 8 terries :)

I know what you mean, I used mine when Louis was 6-12 months the most as it was autumn in France and the fitteds weren't drying and they were just fab, I think I remember issues once he became more mobile :giggle:

@Soupdragon I've just got some XS sandy's from classifieds x 4 so I'm getting there with my NB collection! I think I may have had one in my mega mix collection last time :giggle:

I but the bullet and ordered 4 newborn fitteds and 3 wraps. Just need to get a load of prefolds now. Not sure which il buy. From reading online (mainly American sites) the green mountain diaper prefolds seem very popular. There is a loan library near me where you can hire cloth nappies for £1 a month so I figure I will hire a load and see which I like.
