Topic: Additcted to Ittis?? Posted: 16 May 2010 at 3:26pm |
I keep checking the itti bitti website several times a day, just in case the new limited addition nappies are listed so I can add to my stash.
Anyone else share my addiction??

Not yet as bubs isn't born, I want to start my stash but don't know whether to get a couple of smalls or go straight for a 1/2 doz mediums and use sposies until they fit.

I didn't start on cloth until DS was 3 months as up until then he was still pooing at every feed and I wasn't organised enough yet to deal with the nappies as well as everything else.
But, my boy is just above 50th percentile for length and weight and is in mediums and is on the tightest setting but without the cross-over if that makes sense? I personally wouldn't bother with smalls, to me mediums seem to be better value for money, but that may just be me

caliandjack if it was me I would go for the meds and get some prefolds and covers for the first month or so (infant sized rather than NB) they will cost less and I have found that DD has been in her med itti for ages
I only have 1 and I want MORE!!!!!

I will buck the trend, not all babies are big or average size for that matter... Jake didnt go into his mediums AIO until 6 months and SIO a few weeks later.
Having said that, I would still probably get mediums with the view to buying some smalls if bubs is an itti bitti like mine
I cant wait for the limited editions to come out!!!!!!

My skinny man went into meds at 9 months! I had him in med SIO's over night before then though.
I really want to get a whole pile of new ones & recycle some of my older ones...just cause I can but no money & we need the money for our trip to Oz.
I have a friend who bought me a giraffe, she even told DH to make sure that I didn't buy one from Oz
Oh & I used folded flats & covers for the first 6 weeks. Didn't have to worry about size, I moved onto MCN's cause the covers I had didn't contain dairy allergy poos. Next time I'd know that a) I could use prefolds or b) that my newborn will fit smalls.
I also really want to try bitti brites. I am also gutted that I have to use disposables this weekend cause I'm away at dog shows all weekend & I don't want to wash & dry them in camp ground driers in case some one nicked them!

Thanks, think I'll got for a 1/2 doz mediums while I've still got an income coming in, and supplement with a mix of sposies and prefolds and maybe a couple of smalls till they fit. Seems mediums last the longest as well.
I love the itty bitty colours and they're so soft and trim.

When I say ages I mean since about 4 months but she hasn't changed the snap setting since about 4.5 months. In saying that she still wears her small fuzzis and pea pod (which is my back up nappy!)

DD is wearing both smalls and mediums at the moment, but probably fits the smalls better still. I had enough smalls to use when out and about when she was little, and used mediums at home where it wouldn't matter so much if they leaked - and they almost never did, even though she was way lighter than they recommended.
I want to see the new limited editions! (And I'm very tempted by the last of the pink dots, but she's nearly out of smalls, and I already have one )

OMG I was about to write I confess LOL, guess what thread I've been reading!
I can't wait either. I'm so glad DH hasn't been paid cause I just so want to buy some of the larges for later on at the $10 off! Plus I need some more mini boosters. Oh & I want some more wipes to start using for bums rather than the chux clothes I'm using.
Cooper is finally putting on some weight with drinking neocate so his meds are starting to be snug & we will soon be going back to one free snap in the middle!! So larges will be getting closer

Well I've made my first itti order for 2 AIO smalls on sale - in rockmelon (my fav colour) and midnight - that should get me started. $10 off each one is awesome.

Cool C&J! Make sure you buy a trial pack as well as that's a good discount
Julia, I'm always intrigued at the different sizes of babies when they are so little. A Large would have swum on my bub, mind you he was only 6lb 11oz when he was born.
