    Jimminy Cricket!

    I put DS in his Bum G pocket nappy before trying to put him to sleep at about 11 ths morning. He didn't fall asleep on the boob, and I thought well I'll see if I can settle him without it. He wouldn't fall asleep, not thru patting, singing or by giving bb. I let him get up & I had lunch, he had a play & snack and I changed his nappy at about 2 before trying to put him to sleep again. I pull the insert out to put it in the wash and there's a 2.5cm brown grasshopper on the insert! No wonder the poor lad couldn't sleep with a live insect in his pants. Thing is he wasn't pulling at the nappy or anything to show he was uncomfortable.

    I'll be checking inside the pockets before I stuff in future.

    Thats funny, the poor cricket lucky he didnt drown lol!

    I'm always paranoid about bees/wasps in clothing, they seem to hover around wet clothing on the line in this hot weather.

    You're right about the drowning - it was a very wet nappy! The bl00dy thing wouldn't let go of the insert - kept climbing up towards my fingers & I'd turn the insert upside down & it'd climb up again - eventually shook it off - didn't kill it though that only just occured to me.

    Have now got the nappies on hot wash!
