Reusable nappies

I’m planning on using a mix of reusable and disposable nappies to help my child’s nappy rash. Can anyone recommend good reusable nappies? Does anyone send their child to nursery in reusable nappies? Not sure how all that would work with whether they’d be able to store the soiled/wet reusable nappies until collection?

Should I be worried?

So... Today I was baby wearing doing some shopping and I bought myself a crepe with Nutella and was just eating away and little man started wiggling. I looked down and I had dripped choc sauce all over his face and he was liking it off my jumper 🙈. It's as towards the end and not hot anymore so that's not a worry…

Pramsuit help!

Not sure if anyone has this too but we have a few pram suits now and they're all a nightmare to get on. My LO isn't too big for them as I've tried 3-6months which actually swamp him but getting both arms in I find impossible and he screams the place down and they almost seem too tight even though there's loads of ro...
