pk you MCN experts ...

I am beginning to use MCN mainly when i am home - will still use disposiables for going out and night time (as Rhyley sleeps thru)

What I want to know is:

How many do I need? I am using mainly peapods and have a few snazzipants. I have 4 at present but have ordered another 2. This is in the small size as I did get a Med (peapods here) and the gap at the leg is a bit big at present. He is approx 7kgs (will know for sure next week) It says peapods do till 9 months but only up to 9kgs. I suppose I should check when my other two were 9kgs to see when i have to go to the medium...

so if confused with my rambling 2 questions:

how many do I need?

When did your children go to the medium size?

lol I was wondering what pk stood for!!

How many - how many disposables are you going through a day at the moment? I managed with 6 once Hannah was a few months old. We went through 4-6 a day and I washed every night so they were dry and ready to go the next day. If you are using fitteds you may need a few more if you dont have a dryer, cos they take a lot longer to dry than pockets.

Mediums - Hannah has only really used Fuzzi Bunz. She went into mediums when she was 2 months and around 6kg. She fitted these until about 11 months (chubby thighs!). Apparently peadpods are quite big sizing, but Nikki should be able to help you more there.

Also, Hannah was sleeping 12 hours overnight at this stage too and she was in full time cloth - never had any major leaks and never had to change wet sheets. Be brave!

Slightly OT... Briona is just growing out of medium FB now, she needs the extra height.

I deliberately didn't answer the "how many do you need" question cos the answer is "far less than I have"

Oh yeah, and when it came down to it - I had more success overnight with MCN than I did with sposies. When Han leaked through MCN I changed absorbancy... when Han leaked through sposies I couldn't do anything to change them!

Thanks guys i have got (or at least will have when others arrive) 6 MCN. so might get a couple more of sz sml.
I don't think i am brave engh to use mcn over night lol... but never say never

ive just got peapods as they are easier for me to get and good price i only have two but wow i love them and am excited about getting the rest i was a bit worried about night time to oh the thought of changing the bed if leaked but i sucked it up and went for it i just had one insert and a booster and so far touch wood we are great. im washing them every day at the mo as i only have two so want to use them at night and during the day im thinking of getting at least 6-8 of them and nappy linners flushable ones lol learnt that leason the hard way. my baby girl if you can call her that is 20mths old and i have her in medium but she is so tiny maybe 9kg maybe 10kg by now so may last till toliet training if all goes well and i may not need the bigger size. realy dont know what i was thinking all this time not having them wish they were easier to get and around when i had my son 5 years ago oh well better late then never i say.

Oooh, and I just ordered the gremlins a pink Berry Plush all in one each from Snazzipants... they look so cuddly!

Who me? Couldn't be...

Would be keen to hear how you get on with those too.
