Pink Palace - were you asking about trifold + cover for a newborn, as in does it hold the nb poo? i can answer that, cos that's what i used mainly with our new bilby (when she was new - aw).

i pad folded a baby beehinds bamboo foldup (30 x 30cm) and put that inside a nb sized cover (e.g bambino mio PUL cover with leg gussets). I laid a microfleece liner on top of the foldup. No snappi needed to shut the trifold, cos the cover was snug. I think you need a snappi if the cover isn't snug. ANyway, the prefold + cover routine worked great with our mega pooping bilby - who pooped VERY often!! in all directions, very comprehensively!!! But it was all contained in the cover (leg gussets rock!!) so i was happy. Nothing the little squirt coudln't handle haha.

Did your dh read the Little Squirt instructions?

if you press the trigger handle ALL the way, yes you will squirt the walls. The instructions say to HALF depress the handle, so you get a much gentler spray. You need to have the item well down in the toilet bowl too. I do the items one by one, rest them first on the upturned nappy bucket lid.

Tell your dh, if he tried to drive his car without using the key, of course it wouldn't work. If he tries to use MCN on your bub, without really understanding how they work, of course he's going to have "issues" with them and they will not work.

You now have lots of answers to your pocket stuffing question over on NC, so i won't double up on that.

AJP, swaddlebees will ship to Aus, but not Blueberry. I cannot get the site to even load for me!!! Just when dh said we will need larges for childcare (pre-empting bilby growing out of the mediums). ARGH!

PinkPalace - about the car - i have a daggy old nappy bag i got at an opshop, i leave a packet of wipes, two spare waterproof nappies in there, a changemat - and leave the bag under the passenger seat for emergencies - like the rare time we go thru all the nappies in the nappy bag and are still not home yet. only happened to us once, but it's good to have it there for peace of mind.

WOTBB: kester kovers aio in medium long (for my short bub!!) but she sure does need it for the rise. I think she will outgrow the rise before she outgrows the snaps, we're still on the smallest snaps setting when she's over the lower weight range.

waves to alioops, buried under all those moving boxes!

where is melbel these days? hope you are ok sweets!
