3 babies in cloth??

[Sheer Bliss]

This is a little scary, and also sooooo exciting with all the possible shopping I have to do! :smiliedance:

I found out yesterday that I am expecting twins, and want to have them in cloth from day 1 if possible. But how many, and what type do i need?? I already have HEAPS of M & L itti's from DS (he will be 2, so maybe still in nappies, but hopefully TT - not holding my breath though)

I prefer sized nappies over OSFA, I have used GK's and BBB in the past, and they are OK, but not my fave. ATM the Magicall minkees and bitti d'lish are my faves, but maybe I am not remembering how explosive a newborn b/f bubbas poo can be :D.

Has anyone used magicalls/itti's on a newborn before? How were they? Do i need double the amount of nappies for twins, or not quite double? I have some pre-folds, and was planning on getting a few tots bots or mother ease covers to use at home/washing day, plus if we get low, i have a dozen or so flats as well.

TIA

Congratulations :yelclap:

I haven't tired a newborn in MCN but started my fully breastfeed DD in Itti's when she was about 3 1/2 months old. She only poos every 2 or 3 days and when she does it is huge & very messy! I find the Itti d'lish contains it really well. If she was in a disposable when she pooed it always squirted up her back and usually ended up between her shoulder blades! If she was in a terry flat with cover it would squirt out the legs and end up in her toes!

With the Itti's it rarely leaks and if it does it is usually just a bit around the top of the thigh - certainly doesn't go everywhere like the other 2.

You might be able to get a good deal if you are going to buy enough MCN's for 2. Nuture Nappies sell Itti's and a friend brought a bulk lot from them (not Itti's) a while ago and they gave her a good price.

Goodluck!!
