The fantastic new pocket nappy comes in two generous sizes which allow for the smallest newborn right up to the chunkiest toddler. We know that the onesize nappy has been extremely popular but there is always a compromise at one end of the sizing scale or the other, the new pocket Pop n Gro aims to overcome this with its unique adjustable 'sizing within a size'.
Although the guide for size one is from birth to 20lbs we have a customer who said it fitted her 28lb son so it is more than generous.

Caring for your Pop n Gro Nappies
Initial results show that nappies which became leaky can be made to work with no problems once the detergent build up has been removed (easily done using clean and fresh).
Important advice for the future is to use only half the recommended dose of detergent and certainly don't follow the advice of some manufacturers that says double the amount!!
Lollipop have formulated their own detegent that will obviously contain no enzymes, perfumes, optical brighteners or anything other than natural ingredients. Be aware that non bio detegents have lots of these things in too.

Nappy Review - Blueberry Minki One-Size
But, seriously these are a fantastic All in One Nappy from the wonderful Minki range.
A stay-dry, birth to potty pocket nappy with minky fabric outer and poppers or hook and loop fastening, including microterry/hemp combo insert.
A fabulous one-size pocket nappy guaranteed to create a stir wherever you are! These nappies are made from a layer of the plushest minky fabric which is soft and silky to the touch. The minky fabric has been laminated on the inside to make it waterproof, and remains supersoft with washing and drying. The inner layer is made with top grade fleece. These layers form a pocket into which an absorbent insert is placed to soak up the wetness and the fleece dries quickly and acts as a stay-dry layer babies next to the skin.
These nappies have a neat cut to give a trim fit. They fasten at the front with either a hook and loop closure (like Velcro) or poppers. The hook and loop is great for quick and easy fastening and there are strong laundry tabs to prevent the fastening sticking to other laundry in the wash. The hook and loop fastening will not stick to the minky fabric or the fleece inner to help keep this nappy looking good. The poppers fastening nappies have colour-coordinated poppers and are difficult for toddlers to pull off.
Blueberry nappies adjust with simple, colour co-ordinated poppers to fit most babies from birth to potty training (approx 8 - 35lb+). Available in a range of plush patterns, solid colours and jewel colours. The size adjustment poppers, fastening aplix and inner fleece are beautifully colour-coordinated with the outer Minky fabric to complete this plush nappy.
No liners or waterproof wraps are needed with these nappies, though you can use flushable liners if you wish. These nappies are supplied with their own premium microterry/hemp insert for quick but slim absorption capacity. Matching minky fabric nappy tote bags are also available.
Available in 23 mouth watering colours and patterns there's a Bluberry Minki for everyone and at £22.50 they're affordable luxury too!

HELP! Advice for Nappy Rash
This is a document of information I have collated from my experience, about nappy rash. Some of the suggestions may not apply to you and your baby but it may be helpful to keep for reference as your baby gets bigger.
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR HEALTH ADVISOR if you are unsure on any nappy rash on your child before attempting to treat yourself.
ALWAYS use a paper or fleece liner when using any method of cream treatment so as not to clog the fabric of your nappies and affect absorbancy.
Checklist
The nappies
• Frequency of changing - always change directly after a poo and otherwise regularly. Aim for every 3-4 hours in the day and more regularly when your baby has nappy rash.
• Half the amount of washing powder or use wash balls. Make sure nappies are well rinsed.
• Make sure the washing powder being used is good quality non bio with no conditioner.
• Some parents (myself included) prefer to use liquid rather than powder to wash nappies as they feel it leaves less residue.
• Strip wash nappies (no powder) and give extra rinse – this helps remove any powder build up and can make older nappies more absorbent as a result.
• Ensure water is running clear in the drum on the rinse cycle.
• Have you used bio detergent in the machine at other times as this can get into nappies, or have they been washed in someone else’s machine such as while you are on holiday.
• White vinegar to clean nappies – a splash of white wine vinegar in the rinse cycle will remove any fungal spores from your nappies. This does not leave a smell!
• Have you been swapping between disposables and real nappies? This can make it harder for your babies skin as it needs to frequently adjust to different ‘environments’.
• I would always suggest a fleece liner (See http://www.burtonrealnappies.info/accessories.htm#liners) in a real nappy as a extra layer of protection and try using the real nappies 24 hours a day – do ask your advisor if you need extra boosters for overnight.
Nappy Liners
• Use fleece liners (some nappies have fleece liners as an integral part of the nappy). They help wick away moisture from sensitive skin.
• Silk liners. They help wick away moisture from sensitive skin.
• Silver liners can really help with healing
• Chamomile liners can aid with soothing a sore bottom
again see http://www.burtonrealnappies.info/accessories.htm#liners
Wipes
What baby wipes are you using? The most natural method is either cotton wool and water or washable wipes (these are also more economical). When using washable wipes you can use either water or one of the following solutions.
• Chamomile water – can this be made with a chamomile tea bag
• Cooled Redbush tea Creams and other solutions
• Manuka honey
• If you know your baby is not allergic to egg (e.g. it is weaned and eats egg happily) raw egg white can be very effective when applied to nappy rash.
• Consider a balm (See http://www.burtonrealnappies.info/bottomcare.htm) to prevent further rash or soreness especially when teething or unwell.
Other
• Lots and lots and lots of nappy free time
• Bath every day
• Check with the health visitor it is not thrush – this will need alternative treatment
• Has there been a change in diet or is your baby teething?
