Starting out

I've found you don't have to, but it does make disposing of the poo a lot easier, particularly when they get a bit older. I didn't find it mattered so much when he was so little

thank you
Her poo obviously isn't solid yet but I was wondering if it was worth buying them......and wondering what impact they have on the environment in comparison to a disposable nappy

You can get reusable liners too, I think mine were Bambino Mio (I was given them so not totally sure), they can double up as reusable wipes too.

I think I read that baby poop is water soluble until 6 months so we just put dirty nappies in the wash with the wet ones.
After six months (I guess when they start solids?) we will use a disposable bamboo liner to make it easier to dispose of poop down the toilet.

any idea as to why she might be leaking? We've tried two this evening and both times she's leaked where the leg bit is xx

I use Little and Bloomz pocket nappies.
Maybe check the leg fit, on mine there are two lines of poppers around the waist, the lower row adjusts the leg fit. I also double stuff mine which helps with the absorbency. I try and use a bamboo or charcoal insert on the bottom and a microfibre insert on top of it (both inside the pocket).
I've also found/read that adjusting the inserts to be a little further forward for boys and a little further back for girls due to the direction they wee.
Hope this helps, it was a lot of trail and error and YouTube videos to work it all out

Do you use boosters in the all in one types xx
