can anyone offer mcn advice please

thanks again, great tips and advice. i order an ai2 and yes it seems the leg parts will make a huge difference being able to customize it.
i checked the washing instructions and had completely forgot that they need to be washed in hot water! my machine is a super water saving one as we were on tank water till not long ago so that was the way to go and so it doesnt do rinse cycles or anything and it senses the water level itself so from now on i will pre soak them all prior to washing. will do a strip wash and change the way they are washed and hopefully that will help, but i do feel being able to adjust the legs is going to make a huge difference. yes using part time means i can do a load which will be a couple of nappies only or i can chuck them in with the clothes to make a decent load, or i can leave them sit for days to make a nappy load which just isnt an option, that i guess is the downside to part time mcns. if i change the powder i use that should help too and hopefully with the new nappies she wont be wet so quick and i will have the motivation to use them more meaning there will be more to add to a load on their own.

anyway thanks heaps for the advice, much appreciated and has helped me a great deal

Unfortunately I am still using Omo on mine.

But what I do is small loads of even one or two nappies.

Pretty much I wash whatever I have daily, I also wet pail! Which you're not supposed to do?

So I put them in a nappy bucket in the sink, then a long wash cycle with no detergent on cold, then a long wash cycle with a small amount of Omo, a Hot wash, cold rinse.

That's probably all the wrong things to do.

I then dry them on a clothes horse, which is just one that is a Hills one which is just a flat rectangle of lines, so easy to put them on there - hanging across two lines.

emc - i reckon the "right" thing to do, is whatever works for you, in your situation. if it ain't broke etc.

but if what you're doing, isn't working, THAT"S the time, to find out what other people do to get the result you want.

i refined how i washed my bub's mcn, over time. and each time i made a change, it was in response, to fixing a problem. e.g when she started getting a red bottom, i had to investigate fabrics, washing powder etc. It wasn't an issue before.

some experimenting since i posted this has shown me that bamboo all in II's are working much better than the magicalls, no leaks, only slightly pink bum instead of red raw. i got some ecostore washing powder to wash in and did a strip wash they were slightly better but i just dont think the leg fit is right for her but the all in IIs seem to fit perfect. thanks again for all the info and advice ladies
