    thanks Gigi!
    makes me happy to know that theory can work another thing to use my bamboo inserts for yay!

    Well day 2 i think of MCN's while i am at work is better i think

    All i had to hear from DH complaining about today is:

    IT wastes so much water flushing poos each time from the nappy

    It wastes so much water using the little squirt

    I hate Cloths - they are inconvienent and i am only using them because you want them

    They are all Crap and leak

    i am sick of having to change her pants when they leak (but not open to suggestions on why the leak is happening...)


    i tell you what if i have to hear one more groan about my mcn's i will scream..... (then buy more!!!)

    lol


    Kaz - do you buy DH sposies to use or say stuff luck!?
    gigi - i dont think he bothered reading the instruction...did you know men dont need them!
    Trinity - did you find any tips for poos? An old remedy is a teaspoon of brown sugar in their milk or lots of pears/prunes etc... hth

    WOHB - Nothing... in bath with DH and MIL (they arent in the bath she is )

    PP - just give him time to get used to it. We've had blow outs here, and I just say to DH that it takes a while to get the absorbency up and to get used to using a new thing... but after a few times, they are all good. Hopefully he gets better for you. Just keep telling him about how much money they are saving you..

    Ali - congrats on the job.

    PP ask if he realises that more water probably goes into the production of, and then attempted break down of one single disposable - as opposed to a wash of cloth. (I'm pretty sure that's right, anyone? )

    I have the flu & think I am getting laryngitis... i feel like i need some retail therapy.

    i reckon his mate has been in his ear a little too.. the first thing he said yesterday when visiting was

    'cloths are far worse for the environment than disposables' nothing to back it up just opinionated..

    oh i tel you what DH was letting it rip and i am so over it!

    my theory ... ready???? (lol)

    problem? ---- find solution ------ try solution ------ reassess..

    his theory

    problem? ---- crap ----- throw out

    He is boycotting the LS now! yelling at me because he took sooo long to get it working... like that is my fault i am happy to scrape... i bought it for him (maybe i should sell it on him)... what do you think!!!!! *insert evil grin here*

    PP google oz cloth nappies and there is a break down on environmental impact of MCN vs disposable...

    I always say... "I just can't reason with the 400yrs of landfill for one disposable and the amount of water needed to make 1 disposable" Good luck!
