Little Lamb NIPPA fastening

Rating:

I have found little lamb bamboo nappies to be very reliable, absorbent nappies that have been great for nighttime with a bamboo/hemp booster. They are pretty bulky so I have only used at night. I have dropped one star due to the fact that if you wash above 40 they shrink quite significantly. My 7 month old is in a size 3!

I love these. They are so absorbant and as I bought the nippa fastening ones there are no issues with velcro in the wash. My little one is long and thin, i would imagine that a bigger baby with chunky thighs may not get quite such a good fit. They contain poonamis and can be left on for more than 4 hours (by accident) with no issues. I've been using Thirties sized wraps over them and they fit well/ look fairly trim.

Let’s start with what is fantastic about these Little Lambs one size nappies.
• the fabric is gorgeous. It is lovely and soft to the touch, if I were a baby this is what I would want next to my bum!
• Uber absorbent. A huge plus for any nappy.
• Great design! It makes so much sense to have a nappy that is literally a full wrap around nappy!

Now for the reason for the 3 * and not 5.

• the fit. All the above pluses are only helpful if the nappy fits! We are using size 3 for my toddler, but they are too small in length and width. The nappy fit sits very low, and isn’t wide enough. Fasting with the nappy nippa only exaggerates this. Though I am glad I have the nippa and not a fixed Velcro fastening, so that in a pinch we can still just about use these nappies. But they have been relegated to ‘emergency’ use.
• somewhat faffy to sluice with the attached liner, though I would forgive this if they fit, but is a reasonable point on its own. If you hate the job of cleaning a liner in your loo you’re going to hate trying to clean it whilst it’s still attached to a dirty nappy!

I absolutely love the idea of these nappies, I am just so sad that the fit is not good.

I use to used size one for my baby, but now when he's on size 2 we move to this nippa ones and they are just great! We have bamboo ones and well they are bit bulky but they great for a night! Very absorbent, just one thing... I use dryer otherwise they took long long time to dry!

We are loving using our little lamb nippa fastening nappies. The fact that there is no velcro to worry about in the wash is definitely a bonus. The bamboo is so soft and after only two prewashes they were already so absorbant. With a good wrap these have proven to be a brilliant night time nappy!

I use these for my now 4 month old and used from around 2 months as I found them quite big for my diddy slim girl. I use them mainly as night nappies and boost them with a triple booster. It’s taken a bit of trial and error to get the fit right but now I know what I’m doing I’m really impressed with them. They are completely soft without the stiff velcro and they don’t get mucky as velcro does. I find them so much more adjustable than the velcro option so the fit can be more customized to the baby’s shape. When they are boosted I’m more likely to get leg gaps if I’m not careful about fit. I have used unboosted in the day and they are very slim this way bu I still get 4-5 hours from them and they aren’t sopping wet either. They’re own brand wraps are very good in mum opinion, never had a leak and they don’t need to be tight, just covering the nappy.
If little lamb nippas were all I had for day and night is be perfectly happy. There’s no bells and whistles but sometimes that’s quite refreshing, but they are very cute, like little bum clouds. They do take ages to dry but I tumble them in winter and they’re budget enough to have a big stash to account for this.

I got some of these as I was looking for something cheaper than bamboozles and bumbles were out of stock. They are not terrible, but they are not great either.

The plus is that they are very absorbent, however because of fit issues I have still had leaks.

They take forever to dry if you don't have a tumble dryer. I use a heated airer, and bamboozles / bumbles are dry in about 24 hours. These take over 3 days, as particularly the bits around the elastics just don't seem to dry. Consequently you can only really use them every other wash, so you don't actually save money because you need to buy double quantity to have enough dry nappies.

Regarding the fit, my baby is currently 7 months / 14.8 lbs / 6.5kg. She still fits size 1 LL velcro; she's very skinny so the velcro fits easily around her waist, but lengthwise size 1 is getting too small though it should fit until 20lbs. In the nippa version, I cannot use the size 1 because leg holes are not wide enough; it really seems to be a tiny nappy. We are using the size 2, which is miles too big around the waist - the tabs are fully crossed, but barely big enough in length. the nappy often slips down behind the tabs and comes loose, which never happens with bumbles though they are a similar design.

So in summary, absorbent, but I am not sure what baby these would fit well, as you need to have a short body / waist and not too chunky legs, but a nice round tummy to keep the nappy from slipping.
