little advice for the newly brainwashed please

[Loopy Linda]

hi,

i received my first nappies on thursday, gave them good wash line dry. i was going to wait till i had a few more (monday postie best be stopping here) to try them out, but i was impatient and tried them last night / this morning.

over night i used my AIO and it worked beautifully. i was very impressed.

this morning not so impressed, but hopeful.

my boy is not a big wetter, so this morning while still in pjs i tried a fitted without a cover. i thought some might come through but i was interested in how much etc. in an hour he was soaked. btw this had a hemp insert thingy.

then we were about to leave for my son's football game so i tried my AI2. it has a bamboo insert thingy. within an hour he was soaked right through.

i have more nappies, bamboo and microfleece inserts on the way(tuesday and wednesday posties).

so do you think i should be adding microfleece to each nappy to take wee straight away from here? is it possible the wee could have been soaked up in hemp/bamboo but they were too slow?

how many booster things can i add to each nappy? is there a limit or just what you need? i was thinking maybe microfleece and 2 bamboo or 1 bamboo 1 hemp to each nappy

advice or suggestions please

bear in mind it can take up to 5-10 washes for these nappies to be at their most absorbant...you can boost the nappies with whatever you like, just depends on how bulky you want the fit.
