Ashlea - iom express posting the little biartch to you tonight..I could kill her atm!
Fiona - I cant hear the messages on my answering machine....we had big storms here about 2 months ago and stuffed the lines around here. I get so much static on the phone...did you ge tyour hands on the flannel???? And yes those longies are larges and fit beautifully (there's a little room still)
Sorry to hear your news Kaz .
Mel hope Aricyn gets better soon & i looove my snoozywuns no leaks at all!
Maz congrats on reaching 6 months that's fantastic & the longies and Vy are so cute.
Queen Mab..........was talking to Vanessa from cute tooshies this morning, she was sending them out today or tommorrow, said she has been snowed under so fingers crossed we get fluffy mail early next week.
widdlewuns has more fleece on order for snoozywuns! I've pre-ordered another snoozywun!
so that will take my stash to 4 snoozywuns ... one GNST and ... what else should I try for nighttimes?
He's finally gone to sleep again ... only managed to get half the ventalin into him. DH has returned and is now taking his dog for a long walk ... I think he's a bit numb and not sure how he feels about his dad.
WoHB - BBB with BB PUL (all orange!)
Maz those longies are G for Gorgeous!
I wish all these little ones would get better....Cooper is sick aswell, vommiting runny nose and pooing everywhere.
Maz- No fair I dont have mine yet!!!!!!! They are cute though.
Ok I am ready to chop m,y childs hand off, why must she get into everything????
Ash you want a twin for Vy???
Kaz- sorry to hear about your news
Mel- hope he gets better soon
whats the difference between a bitti boo and a bitti d'lish?
eta: nah i cant do twin babies, let along twin 'toddlers'! hope they settle down soon
A boo is a fitted nappy, a d'lish is an AIO?
WoHB - haute pocket stuffed with bamboo
Say that with confidence Kaz, you're absolutely right about the Boo and D'lish! :D Sorry to hear about your FIL too, hope you and your dh will be okay.
I can't wait til the kids are in bed tonight, not that I'm sure it'll make much of a difference for Si...he's started teething. I've put some Bonjela on, how long til that works? Poor little guy, he's giving his fist a good chew.
Ness, what was she in this time?
Ok i worked out that i have 8 nappies on the way :o :oops: DH will kill me! I also have some foamy wipes wash coming. i got witches brew coz that was the only one apart from something i really dont like. Anyone already got witches brew? does it smell nice or is it gross?
Sarah only did 1 false alarm with the toilet today! missed a few but she had a nappy on while we were out so no mess.
Ness That bumg lasted until 5pm! through 2 naps! I was impressed! Had 2 change it at 5 because of poo! but it still had plenty of wee absorbency remaining!
OK now, how thr heck did we use 4 pages in 1 day?!?!?!
Kaz :hug: it's not nice. Dont blame yourself hun, he may not have caught the virus, it was just his time. :hug:
Gigi, I know the perfect present for Bilby! and it is not a nappy, you have enough of those. Does she like being read to?
The Microfleece liners are working perfectly, I am happy with how dry Em's bum was when I changed her!
WOTB: Sposies, have run out of clean night nappies.
Nelle - generally give it at least 30 minutes to absorb! :) hugs.. ashley has had 2.5 molars push through the past week and has been in the wars too.
Well girls.... I am trying out my BBB tonight for the night sleep.. but honestly DD cant walk!!! is it usually that huge! i have the BBB + small booster snapped at back, long booster snapped at front and in thirds for the front of ht nappy (she is a tummy sleeper). Then trifold bamboo on outside of the nappy and a wool BBH cover.
She looks like she has a pumpkin around her waist... DH just laughed... and all i could say was "daddy.... does my buttt look big in this" the medium BB wool cover just cuts it... hope the large i have ordered doesnt take long to arrive!!
Also what Fabric store for pUl do you all reccommend?
WOHB = Orange BBB + bamboo booster and Green BBH Wool cover
Yayyyy my nappies are dry... woohooo!!!!!! I'll take a chance with his poos - although DH changed one before and said that he was pretty happy he got to chuck it in the bin.. lol
Ahhh well... I don't WANT to use disposables...
Nelle - have you tried SM33? I've found that much more effective than bonjela.. numbs the area quicker, and for longer too (well so it seems to be for mine - of course every baby is different!!)
Kaz - 4 snoozywuns?? Crikey, I only have two... lol MUST NEED TO BUY MORE I GUESS.. LOL
Mo - Yeah they are great for no leaks overnight.. just his flood in the morning that we have issues with in this house...
Maz - Where are those longies from?? I *heart* them very much!! And the other thing... I don't know... ;) Nothing too exciting though, I promise you. *whistles again*
Melham - Yeah, I got an email from her, posted out today so fluffy mail early next week, fingers crossed!
Kaz - I got L, which fits us perfectly - and me alone too, it's SUCH an awesome coat, look great even when you're not baby wearing, I love it I tells ya! I am anything from 14 to 18 with our crazy sizing so let's split the diff & say L is a perfect 16. What sort of carrier are you going to use it with?
WOPB: Terry flat & fleecy cover (OMG, DP changed her before... would you believe he managed to put a snapping cover on... inside out?!! When I told him says "I did have alot of trouble putting it on" :lol:)
:rofl:
Think maz said she got them from darlings downunder.
Anyone want to sell/swap Large wool covers?
Spanks Ash. I'm not one for measuring - do we think medium longies are the same fit size wise as medium nappies?
QM - that is one gorgeous ticker pic you have there mate.. just had to say that!!!!
So I'm going to wash all my wool things tomorrow - in the washing machine on wool setting, in cold water, with wool wash - but uh.. how much wool wash do I add? And do I then need to lanolise it all after washing it? And then just put it on towels to dry or something cos it doesn't get hung up or out in the sun hey...
Is that right?
PP - what are you swapping for?
lol like you Mel.. dont have much to swap but i have a New magicall in medium... if i can swap for 1-2 large wool covers (depending on condition you know)???
i soaked my wools in the lanolised solution after wash and then hung in the shade :)
I didn't think you actually hung wool stuff up? just cos of the weight of the wool makes it stretch? (Not that I have any knowledge, just know that thats what happens with woolly jumpers - hey, I am from tassie after all.. lol)
I've got lots of covers now (didn't realise I had ordered so many!!) but not that many wool ones, sorry PP. Most of mine are PUL.
the BBh covers are very solid so i am not woried about hanging them but i wouldnt hang hand knitted ones
Yes i have heaps of PUL too! lol
How many wool covers do you have PP? I have 1 that fits Jovie and 1 pair of longies & thats all I use...
oh... i have 1 large (on the way from BBH) and i have squished her into a medium for tonight (have 1 of those).
Do you think that will be enough?? great if yes :) i just assumed it is best to have 2 on hand... but i guess they dry very quickly dont they.
she just looks so bulked up with the booster + 2 inserts inside the BBB.... lol poor thing.. .is this normal?
Yep totally normal. I do think 2 is ideal, we just alternate the longie with the soaker. If one needs washing, I use the other for a few days if needed.
thanks Christy... how often do you need to wash the wool soaker?
Hhmm, I ordered medium, hopefully they fit when I get them off layby! $30 is cheep cheep for such gorgeous longies!! Also ordered a teething necklace, too cute not to!
Where'd you get the teething necklace Mab? DD?
Where do I get SM33 Mel?
Do you need more large covers Christy? You can have some of mine if you want...one of which is yours but don't ask me which!
I feel like going shopping...hmm...
Kaz - so sorry to hear of your FIL - I understand your DH feeling numb - I still feel that way about my dad and he went a little over a month ago. It really sucks.
The babywearing group I am a member of is about to do a group order of kindercoats - I think they get a better price. I can find out if you could join in on the order if you like. (or have you already ordered - I think I missed a page...)
Nelle - SM33 is ace - I just get it from the chemist. Calms Mr Perpetually Teething in no time. I've also just started the Hylands Homeopathic Teething Tablets as I think he's going to get addicted to lignocaine if I keep giving him SM33, dunno if they're doing much yet though. Chamomile tea is apparently supposed to soothe, as is a teaspoon of cloves soaked in water - how much water and how long for I don't know...
Maz - you've got a little terror there - too gorgeous for words but totally up to mischief.
Gigi - give yourself and the beautiful Bilbybot a hug and a kiss from me honey. Thinking of you right now.
QM: Happy Punky Day!!!
Off to bed...
WOHB: chamomile tea (used it to help with NR and now I just like the smell, so I'm still using it to wipe his bum), and boosted Cute Tooshies with a grandma knitted soaker.
Nelle I totally forgot!!!! Yes I'll take it! I'll PM you my details
WOHB: last nights nappy, she's still in bed :o
thats a great point suse!! the more they have over time the more resistant they become to lignocane ,t is less effective in dental injections in the years to come!:
Suse - I've ordered through Paulus. guessing that's who you're ordering through as well?
Queenmab - I have an elaroo ring sling (don't use that much though now) and also a Mei Tei (can't remember the type though, I got it off Paulus) that I wear on my back. Hey if you got the teething necklace through DD, which one did you get? I got the darker (cognac) ones, can't wait to put them on Pip.
I do prefer SM33 but having said that, I rarely put any gel on his gums. when I use it it when we're both at the end of our tethers!!! I find a damp washer thrown into the freezer the best thing for him to relieve pain.
WoHB - a (prolly very damp!) snoozywun.
Soon to be a hemp BB with BB PUL cover.
Nelle - chemist for the SM33 like was previously posted. We don't use it that often either, but I do find myself reaching for it before panadol or nurofen - cos if he gets better with just the gel then I definitely know they are bothering him. With all the drugs he is having in his system at the moment though, I doubt he can feel anything!!!
He's trashing the dvds at the moment, but is entertaining himself so don't like to bother him!!!!
Just washed all my woollens - haven't opened the washing machine yet, so I hope they all survived ok.... my mum is bringing around some lanolin stuff so hopefully I can get them on the clothes horse today.. woohoo!!!!!
Oooh and exciting news - Snoozywun did not leak with morning flood.. maybe I have just gotten to the most absorbent part!! WOOOHOO!!!!
WOHB: BBH with maz cover..
Guidi - I picked up Pip and he was wet! The snoozywun leaked! But then I found he'd undone it in his sleep ... must put something over them. Darnit.
Just about to wrestle the boy for his ventalin then we'll head out to do some shopping, I have no food in the house.
WoHB - magicall.

Kazbah, sorry to hear about your FIL hon, :hug:
Suse, lovely to hear from you after what seems like ages
Gudism, i thought about washing the woollies in the machine, but then i realised i would have to lanolise them after that, and i can't be stuffed doing two processes, so i'm gonna stick to teh handwashing/lanolising all at the same time.
THe thing i discovered about lanolin is that using hot water from the tap, was not enough to dissolve it. I now use boiling water only to dissolve it, and that works great.
i think for people that don't want to dissolve the lanolin, there is the option of lanolin sprays like Sheepish Grins etc, that you spray onto the item and massage in with your fingers.
MISSING SOX< BABYLEGS ETC - i'm using this washbag from spotlight, it looks like a big pencil case with three dividers (made out of fine mesh stuff). WIth one long zip. I put in bilby's sox, my bras, legwarmers, any pair things that easily get lost normally, or gentle care stuff like bras. The wash ends, you take out the bag, and the paired socks are still together. Oh yeah, and it was great for keeping pairs of breastpads together too for the 8 months when they were my 24/7 essential.
I realise you aren't all anally retentive virgos like me, but maybe one person might find this idea useful.
MAZ - rainbow longies are gorgeous! Vy is looking so grown up, so beautiful! The camera doesn't show me the impish part of her that gets into everythign! i have one of those here myself so i well know what you mean.
Cookie Monster - oh bum, now i forget what i had to say to you! (after reading 5+ pages, gee it's hard to remember who said what and what i wanted to add!!).
Your Royal Mabelness, must go look at kindercoats, you have me curious. Alaska hehe, that sounds hardcore. Maybe the penguins sealed the package.
Janie - hello if you are lurking!
Tracey - happy late birthday!
Raven - love the shorties you knitted on your blog - impressive! Your belly is so beautiful. (cluckity cluck).
Hope all the sick kidlets are on the improve.
WHoever is buying the mattress protector at the wee wuns, i got the Swaddlebees one, loved it, wonderful for nappy free time, feeding bubs in your bed, heaps of uses. Looks so simple, but was sooo useful (until bubs gets mobile).
THe aplix on the snoozywuns is what stopped me getting one, bilby is too clever with aplix!
alioops! how high is the mountain of boxes now? can we still see you?
beautrix - hiya!
WOTBB: FJ rainbow fitted with possums pouches longies
(a daytime post, in your honour, FJ).
Nelle/Kaz - Yup, DD, I too got the cognac one - although, do we think it will be comfortable for Punky to wear, what with all the weird shaped chips etc...? I was thinking about it last night & wondering if I should change it to the multi coloured round one...? Don't love the colour but it might be more comfy? Anyone already got one of either...?!
Gigi - lol, are there penguins in Alaska? I thought it was just Antarctica... I know there are wolves & lots of snow! I love that it came from there - hanging for someone to ask me where I got it so I can tell them!!
OK, when you are out and about, do you use disposable liners? or do you still use microfleece ones & wrap them with the solids in a plastic bag & throw them in the wetbag and clean them when you get home?
LMAO Gigi! Glad to see you in the light of day!
I use liners only rarely (naughty I know!) cause Pip's poos are usually the roll-off kind, This week though is different, we're back to NB poos. I will always roll the poo off the liner into the loo, if its really manky I'll flush the loo with the liner in the water flow, that's just fine. Then bag it seperately inside the wet nappy bag ;)
Just about to head out to Freedom, they have some lovely shelves that I think will make my nappy storage a lot easier.
Kaz - I use a BB wool cover over the snoozywun so he can't get to it, plus he has jarmies that button together so he is all done up like a ... meat pie? lol
