Hello everyone smile

I have used some real nappies with my daughter, but not to the extent I wanted too. This time round I shall be using them from the beginning. A friend as given us some terries and other newborn nappies, and they are lovely! I know I will need wraps for them and nappi nippa things so thats fine. I was thinking of getting some more terries, like the squares as the ones we have are shaped, but will we need any liners for them? I read about fleece liners and was thinking would a cut up blanket work? Fleece of course.

  But I just can’t get my head round other real nappies, I know that sounds strange but things like all in ones, all in twos etc make no sense to me :( Can some explain to me please in simple terms what I will need and how many etc?

Sorry for the questions!!

Actually you really can’t beat terry squares, especially bamboo terries. they are easy to wash and quick to dry (even bamboo ones) 60cm squares will fit from birth to potty, and you can just double them up overnight, The absolute best wraps to use with them are wool nappy covers, as they allow the nappy to breath and dry a little between wettings, and they don’t even need washing.
Fleece liners are great, as they keep little bums feeling dry and comfortable.
