I just used a CD to trace around for the size so I'm not sure how big it is lol I will keep making them with pul i think thankyou

Definetly use PUL on every one otherwise they'll leak through, especially in the first few months when let down is strong. Those layers are good and I did the same PUL, cotton, flannel. I made ones with just one cotton layer in the middle but definetly prefer the one with 2 layers. I made mine with a 4 inch diameter

@tundrak when you made yours how many layers did you use? I have one pul the 2x cotton bamboo and 1x flannel do you then they will be ok iv never made them before or used them, but i hated the disposables with my son, I have 5 sets made so far im going to do some without the pul (waterproof nappy fabric) an double up the flannel see which work better

I used reusable ones that I made last time and it worked great, I would make more than 6 pair though. I would say double that. I would use many in a day because you don't want the wet ones to sit on your skin too long, it can promote thrush.

I hated disposable ones, they felt like diapers in my shirt! So I’ve used the cotton reusable pads for 2 babies now. I probably have 10 pairs, & that worked out for me since I did laundry every day/other day. If you’re making them all I would suggest to make a few thicker ones for night time!!

With my first 2 kids I used the disposable ones & hated them! I could never get them to feel comfortable. With my third I used reusable ones & loved them! I had about a dozen. It seemed like a lot, but I wasn't sure how many I would need. A dozen was super helpful though when my baby was going through growth spurts & my milk supply was adjusting. I would recommend a dozen, but that's just me. I'm having twins this time, so idk what to expect from my supply, but I have my same dozen. Oh, & yours are super cute!

I wasn’t a big fan... but I was a big leaker. I went through a tonne... and found that sometimes I couldn’t get the milk smell out of them.

Those are so cute!!

I tried a couple random reusable pads with my second. I didn't love them. Then, with my third, I discovered bamboobies reusable pads! Best purchase ever!! They were so much more comfy! However, I felt like reusables did need changed more than the disposables no matter the brand. Even the overnight ones. I made do with about 6 with my third but I'm getting more for this one!!

I buy mine from walmart. 6 was never enough even with me washing every other day. I produce a lot of milk and would soak through after a few hours. I went through about 6 pair per day.

In making my own this time too!! And I totally agree. The disposable ones are crap and get stuck to me :( and I would think 6 pairs should be an alright number to have.

I haven't tried them but I have some to try this time. I did feel like the disposable ones were very cheap and didn't absorb a whole lot. Good luck this time around!
