How many nappies can you fit in a 7kg washing machine? Was thinking about a 5.5kg model like http://au.shopping.com/xDN-washing_machines but I am concerned that it won't hold enough nappies. Should I just go all out on the 7kg, or maybe 2 5.5kg ones when I have heaps to do?
What age were your kids when they stopped wearing nappies to bed? My girls are 6 now (twins) They both still wear diapers to bed, they have done all their life, we are thinking of taking Katie out of them because she's been dry for a while now, but Lily wakes up about 3 out of 7 days a week with her pull-up wet. Their aren't embarrassed about it, there are several children their age where we live, and alot of them still wear Nappies to bed. They were Goodnites to bed, i think that's what they're called, they like them because they have nice patterns :)

How many nappies should I have before the arrival of bub? Hi, I just bought a 108 packet of nappies for bub, and am wondering how many more I should get. Their is a special on a 144 pack but my friend keeps telling me not to buy more as I will get heaps at my baby shower. But i don't even no if ill get any as the last baby shower i went to she got none. How many packets did you stock up on before the birth? Thanks!
What in your opinion are the best babies nappies? I've had four children in four year and feel i've found the answer! Having tried every brand on the market, we have concluded that Tesco essentials range are the best for absorbency and price. To be honest the more well known household brands have been an inferior product and more expensive. When your spending £20-£30 a week on nappies you become an expert.
At what age should I stop putting nappies on my son at bedtime? He's three, and his nappies are still pretty wet in the morning. I have heard it's really a brain-chemical issue, that kids just aren't ready until a certain age which differs with them all. He's right next to the bathroom and certainly would understand to go the toilet if he wakes up at night, but I don't really see a need to rush the process. I explained once that one day he won't wear nappies at night, but will use the toilet like during the day, and he thought for a minute then said, "Would you leave the bathroom door open?" , so intellectually he has a grip on the concept. Thanks for your help.
How often do you change your baby's nappies? I change my 4 month old's with every feed (every 4 hours), or everytime she does a poo. I dont change her nappies overnight, as that tends to wake her up too much. How often do you change your baby's nappies? I just saw a new brand of nappies by HUGGIES, that claim that each nappy can be worn for 12 hours. Would you not change a nappy for 12 hours??

Is it very hard and time consuming to use cloth nappies? I'm due with baby #1 in September,and I was thinking about cloth nappies. Money isn't a worry, but I sort of want to be a really good Mum who cooks homemade food and does the cloth nappy thing lol! How are they opposed to disposables? Also I forgot to add, I've never changed a nappy before!! So should I perhaps start with disposables and work my way up lol?
What age do you think a child should be out of nappies day and night? My youngest was out of nappies during the day at 3 but she is still in them at night 9 months later. I am not worried that she is still in nappies at night as they are still heavy in the morning. We did think about lifting her but my husband tried the other night and she wouldnt budge. Is britain obsessed with children being out of nappies at any early age? What is your experience with toilet training?

How can I comfort my 6 year old when changing her towelling nappies ? Ive had to change her into larger double towelling nappies when its bedtime or on long journeys as her wetting accidents are so 'serious' and I just can't get her dry (been trying for 2 and a half years). She keeps saying she's not a baby and tries to take them off but they're saoked very quickly. I try and tell her she's not a baby but it's not working and disposables make her itch. What can i say to make her feel not humiliated ?
How can I prevent my kitchen bin from smelling after putting my baby nappies in it? Before I throw away the nappies, I wrap them in scented nappy bags but the bin still smells and by the time the bin gets full, the smell becomes unbearable. I don't really want to buy a seperate nappy bin because I think this is uneccesary. I have resorted to emptying the bin everytime my baby does a poo(which means everyday, bin bags don't come cheap) I'd like to know if there are other ways round this.
How do I pre-treat real nappies before washing? Hi I've been using cotton nappies as much as possible instead of disposables but wondered if anyone can advise me on the best way to treat the nappies before washing. It takes me about 4/5 days before I have enough to wash - should I have them in soak in a bucket the whole time beforehand or should I just put them in the wash with some napisan. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
What detergent can I use for cloth nappies? I can only wash his clothes in soap flakes but when it comes to removing stains, they aren't very good, but I can not use anything else (even half strength) because it is too harsh on his skin.

Can nappies help bedwetters become dry quicker ? My 13 yr old Vietnamese niece hasn't got over her anxiety and nerves of arriving in the UK 6 months back. This resulted in bed and often day wetting. Talking didn't help/change things (which was also strongly suggested by others) and I last heard that her mum was making her use washable teen nappies and plastic pants until it stopped. Will this just aggrevate things ?
How many nappies to stock up on? I am 36 weeks pregnant and am buying some nappies to have ready but am not sure how many of the newborn size to buy. I don't know how quick they move up to the next size so I don't want to buy loads but on the other hand I don't want to be rushing to the shops in the first week. Any ideas? Thanks

When did your little one outgrow newborn nappies? Today, I've finally decided to stop buying newborn size huggies (Up to 5kg) for my now 2 month old son, who is actually 5.4kg, as they are just a bit to snug for my little ones bum (well, the bigger tummy is now the issue haha) Huggies are smaller than most brands of nappies too, I've realized! When did your little one outgrow the smallest nappies? He was 7lb 3 ounces born, or 3.3 kg
How do you keep cloth nappies staying soft? I don't use fabric softner (which you're not meant to), and I hang them out on the line in half (as this apparently keeps them softer, towels too). What else can I do to keep them soft? I have some new ones and some old ones, and the older ones are a little scratchy in comparison to the new ones. Any tips?

He still 'does' it there. Please can anyone give me some effective training techniques to get him to start wearing regular underwear.

upto what age are nappies during the night for diarrhea acceptable? If a child has quite bad diarrhea it is fine to have them sit on or near the toilet all day but at night this is inpractical. If the child wears a nappy to bed then it saves the parents the hassle of cleaning messy sheets and allows the child some sleep (needed if your immune system is to recover.) I know of lots of parents who do this with younger children (5 and below.) But at what age does it become unacceptable to put a child in a nappy for this reason? 6, 8, or mabye older? What do you think?

How do you get the stains out of nappies?!? I've just started using cloth nappies, and am having trouble getting poo stains out!! My baby is breastfed so nothing too nasty yet, just very messy (sorry to be so graphic, folks)! I rinse them to get the muck off, then soak them over night in nappy soak before putting them in the wash, but they are coming out still stained, especially in the elasticated part. I paid a small fortune for them, so very disappointed I can't keep them bright white - what's the secret?!
Can I keep my baby dry in terry nappies? I've just started to make the switch from huggies to terry flats with an overnap. Will a flushable liner keep the wet off my babys bum? Do I need anything else to go with the nappy? How can I keep his skin as dry as possible?

Why do people find it so strange that I wear nappies/diapers? I have been a bedwetter most of my life, and wear a nappy to bed. I know plenty of girls who use pads to protect themselves at that time of the month, and no one thinks this is strange. But when I wear a bigger pad (a nappy) to bed to protect from urine, people think I am weird. What should I do, just wet the bed? Can someone offer an opinion?
Are Chinese electric self drying nappies economical in the long run ? They have little elements built in which allow you to just hose the nappie down without removing it from the baby and the miniature solar panels dry it almost immediatey. p.s. For those mums who do not have access to a hosepipe the same result can be obtained by sitting baby in lukewarm water and moving lightly to and fro, whilst singing Be Baw Babbity. To e-mail customers, the Mark 1 version of this product is not now in production, as babies were having difficulties dragging heavy electrical cables over the floor.
