Having used full time cloth with my first, I failed miserably with baby 2 - now 19m. He's probably got at least a yr left in napiies and I was thinking of trying to go back, but expect the nappy world has moved on! Basically I want a really slim velcro nappy that can either use disposable inserts or v easy to put paper liners in. I'm not scraping poo off!! Any advice?

I would avoid velcro for a 19 month old if I were you. My one velco nappy is now completely redundant after the ease of removal was discovered. Would agree on Bungenius though, but I really would go for poppers! My favourite for my 15 month old is the organic ones.

I use Ultra Liners, have tried others but these have been the best for me. I have some fleece ones and poo does tend to just plop off them, but cannot guarantee that :).

For slimness some people like flips, but these for me are confined to bedtime with the lovely organic insert rather than the stay dry, as I didnt think the slim stay dries cut it, but others swear by them and they work out really cheap!! http://www.thenappylady.co.uk/SearchResults.asp

Tots bots easyfits come in poppers or velcro these days. They are very slim, but don't come up particularly long I believe if your little one is tall. They are made in the UK which is why I go them as opposed to bumgenius (for example).

Might be worth filling in the questionnare on the nappylady.co.uk to see what she suggests?

Fillyourpants.co.uk (I think) is a v useful website selling loads of different types of cloth in one place. I use a mix of smartipants and baba and boo nappies with little lambs fleece liners. Never scrape poo, just flick it down the loo. We also now have some training pants for 26 month old though he is showing few signs of potty readiness.

Snowboarder call Wendy at The Nappy Lady & have a chat. I'd agree Velcro too easy for toddlers to remove.


Are you confident the switch now will work with new life, Childcare etc? You know I'm 100% pro cloth but equally I know you have a lot going on right now.


Xxx

Ok thanks - not too much has changed!! Easyfits were my fave previously and I still have a few bg left so I'll have a try out - need to get some paper liners. I still think velcro as smallest shows no signs of being a nappy escapee but he is a change refusenik and I have to be FAST - I can never get poppers right, just fumble, and there is no time for that with the writhing screaming youngest snowboarder!

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
