So, I made 3 nappies yesterday.
Nappy 1. is made with an outer of microfleece, a quilters cotton panel and lined inside with flanelette. (guitars)
Nappy 2. is made with a quilters cotton outer and a suede cloth inner. (Cars)
Nappy 3. is made with a quilters cotton outer and a sherpa inner. (cars & Aussie city maps)
Each nappy has a sewn in booster which is made up of 1 layer of bamboo, a layer of microfibre and then another layer of bamboo on top of the microfibre.
Each nappy also has two layers of bamboo sewn in (hidden) under the inner.
Keeping in mind that there's no PUL in these nappies, I made sure that I changed him every few hours. I probably could've left them on a little bit longer as well, but I wasn't going to risk it, plus I wanted to check on how his rash was going.
I did put some Curash powder on his bottom and the first nappy didn't last long (Nappy 3) because he gave it his "poop of approval". The next nappy (Nappy 2) was changed 3 hours later and wasn't drenched I thought it would be, as he had a drink before I put this nappy on him. His bottom wasn't worse and the rash seemed to be getting a little bit better - not a lot, but at least it wasn't getting worse.
Nappy 1 was then put on and he wore this nappy right up to his bath time at around 6pm. Again, it wasn't soaked, but it was wet and his rash looked the same. At least it hadn't gotten worse, like it had been getting over the last couple of days.
These nappies are now in the wash and I will see how long they take to dry. It's not that sunny outside and today's maximum temp is going to be 16 degrees C. I will be back with an update tomorrow.
OH and I should also mention - I DID NOT PUT A COVER OVER THE TOP OF THESE NAPPIES.
I believe if I were to go with fitted nappies for my son, I would be changing them more often.
