hahaaa
But the BB wool cover I have is applix? Cause he's got this high temp I don't have him in his zippered sleeping suit, nor his warmest PJs bottoms that button up to the shirt :)
I do love seeing him sleep with his padded butt in the air though! So cute! And oh-so-pattable!
WoHB - magicall with booster.
Thanks Gigi - looking now.
Well i love my BBB! with the major boosting i did with night 1.... DD didnt even wet the trifold between the nappy and wool cover :) at night which is great news, so might leave it out tonight.. so i can squish the medium back on there!
Kaz - yep - that's where I'd be getting a kindercoat from if I was actually getting one, there not being much call for one in far north queensland. I got my mei tai and my wrap through the group though, with another one one the way (help, I'm obsessed). Do you post much on the group, or do you lurk? I'm a bit stoked - I think I've just managed to sell my Ergo, and I found the Connecta I want on TBW FSOT, both on the same day, and both for the same price. Talk about serendipity.
OK, off track there...
Hmm, I've got an amber necklace somewhere - maybe I should drag it out and try it on Euan.
Gigi - I have been a bit absent - Mr feeds less often and is usually quick, so less time online for me. And he's so wriggly that it's hard to type. Little terror is into everything - doesn't stop. We got a cage (playpen) yesterday so at least I can put him somewhere safe now.
QM - you're right, no penguins in Alaska - they have land based migratory predators. But the Arctic circle does have the flying versions of penguins - they're called little orks. They're really cute. Suse will stop the David Attenborough impersonation now... (Why are we talking about penguins anyway...oh, OK, I've figured it out...?)
Sal, I don't bother - I just put him in a nappy. If he poos, I just roll up the nappy and bung it in the wetbag and deal with it when I get home. Now that he's on solids and the poo is a little more rollable I could flush it down the loo if there happens to be one handy I suppose. I've never noticed any smell with a sealed bag.
Oh, and I've learnt a valuable lesson - NEVER sell a night nappy until its replacement has arrived - still no WC. I hope that Michelle is OK, she's probably in the middle of having a baby which is much more important.
WOHB: KK AIO
Gigi, fairly high, but still going through everything and massively downsizing. need to put some things on Ebay.
Em has a rash around her mouth and her bum is still slightly blistery. going to the doctor this arvo with her. DH is in a mood that I am on the comp again, oh well, he will survive.
We will be in SA for at least another 6 months :( not that I dont like SA, I am just ready for a change. so I doubt I will make it to the nappy meet up in September. :( I am over the disorganisation of the army! If they had done the paperwork properly to begin with we wouldn't be here after September. But because someone made a stuffup, we have to live our lives to convenience them. }:( makes me so angry that they can leave people in limbo land like this! But we still have to move out of this house by the 6/10/08 because that is when our lease expires. I will be moving in with my Grandpa, so I will closer to you Gigi!
have you emiled her suse? im sure she hasnt had the baby yet, but it wont be long!!:
I got fluffy mail! my swap for longies and a soaker has arrived. it is 3 bumGs with greenkids inserts!
Also have a parcel to collect from the post office. hopefully it is a wifi modem!
ETA: DH said I can get a LS! I am looking for a second hand one or I will have to wait till I have some work. He doesn't like having to go outside in the rain to squirt poo off nappies :woot:
Maz, stalk your postie early next week :)
Ive decided... yes after 24 hrs lol
I love my BBB!
I am contemplating buying more as they are on special.
But wanted to check if anyone was thinking of selling any first... as i know a few of you told me that they arent the best on yours bubs (ie wets through...)
Let me know :)
Suse - is a little ork a baby monster thing from Lord Of The Rings?! :lol:
WOPB: Magenta bumwear
Hey Maz, are you still doing customs? I was hoping for something for Isla with Elmo on it. She loves Elmo!
PP - I'm hoping mine will get better once I wash them more *shrugs* gotta give it a try anyway - considering I got fluffy mail again today with more of them!!! LOL
Kaz - Mine never seems to attack the aplix... maybe mine isn't as intelligent as you..
Oh crap he's had a green kids on for bloody ages... better go change it.. he's crying into my legs at the moment anyways... :rolleyes:
Gudism.. maybe DD isnt a big wetter. But she is going a good 4 hrs and not even soaking through!
it is great. i have only done the 3 prewashes!
no doubt by the time I get back on here monday you girls would have gone and opened 2 new threads.....
My little darling is letting me know when ever she farts these days with ''' pawwwwww' and waving behind her butt. She stripped herself from the waist down so I put knickers on her...she has come up to me twice now to inform me of YUCK's and full of wee......hmmmmm sounds like I have a littel miss getting ready to TT :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
geeze that's fast Maz! (the TT that is!) I hope she works it out quickly ...
QueenM - I used to post a bit, mostly lurk. With my dodgy back and the rain here I haven't been BWing much ... but I miss tramping around the mountains! So peaceful, and it sends Pip to sleep nicely. Serendipity indeed!
Gudi - just you wait ;) It'll happen ;)
PP - woohooo on the BBBs working for you! And you can't have mine, I love them too much. Still haven't sourced large snap-ins for the bp, so using my large BPs as covers ATM. Got asked what they were today! (he had on a greeny one with "saving the world one nappy at a time" embroidered).
And now I officially LOVE my babylegs.
What else ... ahhhhhh Freedom! Found a 4-drawer shelving unit and some boxes - got a divided box which I figure will work well for nappies - nappies, boosters & covers!
Can't wait to try it out tomorrow!
WoHB - widdlewuns and he's asleep. Doh. Need to change him into his snoozywun!
Kaz - hmmm.. my boy is older than yours... maybe mine is just stoopid... LOL
WOHB: Snoozywun of course!!!!! With new BB wool cover :)
well Your Royal Mabelness and Suse, you got me, i just assumed penguins would be anywhere where it is super dooper cold!
PinkPalace - sounds like your "roadtesting" of nappies is going well, you're learning - by experience - what suits your bub at night - only way to find out i reckon, trying a few combos, and continueing with the one that works for you. How fortuitous for you that you know baby beehinds work for you, at the right time (sale is on).
Maz - go Vy with the TT-ing. her language sounds great, we only have Mum" and "dad" here. I keep trying to teach bilby what poo and wee is,she just looks up and giggles at me! She is officially not scared ot eh potty anymore, loves to sit on it and "read" (well she turns lots of pages).
Kazbah - woot on the nappy streamlining vis a vis Freedom. Are you having trouble finding somewhere that will sell you berry plush inserts by themselves? is that the problem? i'll have a look for you. Baby soft ladndings, darlings down under, nurture nappies, weewuns, they're the places that come to mind (that sell BP's) but i forget if they are sold as AI2's or separate articles. And you're after LARGE inserts??
How is Pip feeling today with the lung infection?
about the sleeping bag and his high temp - i've been using thin cotton knit sleeping bags even when it was 40+ degrees - they work when your bub is hot. I have to avoid the sleeping bags with the polar fleece - bilby looks like she's in a sauna in those (the easiest type to find).
alioops - wow, the Army is sure mucking you about! but at least you will be close to the beach when it's summer.
tha'ts good that you got greenkids boosters in your swap, they're excellent.
ANyone interested in rainbow longies, have you seen the BAABINTI store on the wahmnaps site? hubba hubba to the rainbow queen!!
DH has got some gadget on our electrical items, to gauge how much electricity is costing us, per item. This week he put it on the washing machine. We used $1.50 of power for the washing machine (i do a nappy load every day). pretty good i thought.
What to do with poo when out?
sorry i forgot who asked this
If rolloff poo - goes into toilet unless in parents room that has no toilet, then folded up in nappy, goes into wetbag, deal with it at home.
If non-roll off poo - put disposable liner in to toilet, this deals with the worst of it. I have a flannelette cloth liner under that too.
Sometimes i put a disposable baby wipe inside the nappy, before i fold it up, if it's really yuck. Makes for less stain removal when you get home.
Zippered wetbags are fine.
In the case of "Nappy Contents from Hell" happens whilst we are out, my solution for that, is to put said disgusting nappy in a small wetbag, which then gets put inside the big wetbag. Why? smell factor.
Ah Gudism - i've gone blank. aw well, Hi!
anyone after blueberry or swaddlebees fluffy mail? super sale on tomorrow. wish i needed some!!! Wish i had some night nappy sale news for you gals (cos i think that's what would rock your worlds).
WOTBB: whizz kidz bamboo nightz OSFM with melbel longies in indigo
SOrry gigi where is the sale :)
PP blueberry's/ swaddlebee super sale is in the US and they refuse to ship to oz anymore!!
You know the worst thing about weekends? No possibility whatsoever of fluffy mail.. :(
WOHB: Swaddlebees - boosted REALLY well because he's sleeping...
Since when AJP?? That bites!
Lol @ Mel & her fluffy mail dependancey...
for ages now queen!!! i got 11 from there before they decided to have supplier here in oz, its cheaper to buy direct from them than from here!!!they cottoned on to that and have refused to ship to people here! sucks!!
Okay okay.... we "may" still be able to do this. Depends on how long the sale is on for... I will check out how my brother is going, my mum would usually do it but has been in/out of hospital for the last month & the last thing I want to do is add stress.
Well todays score is DH 1 ..... MCN 0
I worked today and Dh had a mini melt down!
He put the PUl Pockets on DD and she did a huge poo... and he hadnt hooked up the little squirt yet (so not wanting to touch it) installed the LS..... and then he said water went EVERYWHERE!!!! until he found the correct plumbin pressure for the hose etc etc...
Then he put another PUL pocket on that had only a bifold bamboo in and she had a big wee and it leaked everywhere! and his comment was...
"this never happened with sposies!!" and now refuses to use cloth because 'they all leak....." they dont work".....
I explained we are learning with absorbancy needs and that is means she will need an extra booster in blah blah blah... nope he had it!
OMG!!! tell me about the welcome home parade!!!
Jols - I ordered from the SBs outlet store only a couple of months ago and they sent them here no problems. Would it have changed since then?:
Sorry to be a nature nerd Gigi - I've spent way too much time watching David Attenborough documentaries. I got all excited when they brought out the boxed set (then realised that we owned most of them anyway). :redface:
Maz - go Vy on the TT!! I know that you want to keep her in fluffies as long as you can though. If you want another one in nappies, you can have my little stinker.
I've so got to get me some babylegs, but I am having choice anxiety and have been for months. Can't decide which ones to get, and which ones to go with which nappies, etc. Should do it soon before summer is here.
WOH(sleeping)B: BumG
suse queen said the same!! i checked them out but wow on the postage!!
So for 4 nappies or so off that site, the postage is like $30... so it would be around $50 for 4 nappies, which still works out as a bargin? I think... if I had them shipped to my brother, it would cost him $30 to post them out anyway....thats how much it cost mum last time, but she was happy to do it for me. I forget about postage sometimes.
whats the name of the site so i can have a look?
I would be intereste in having a look
How are the bbh going for you mel?
have you tried the MM's?
I was wondering for newborn... do you think you could fold up terrys or the inserts and use the MM as a wrap as such (with snappis).. then the PUL rather than snappi'ing prefolds?
Or is newborn liquid poo a nightmare using just a booster inside a nappy?
i am also thinking of turning my trifolds/bifolds into hourglasses.. as i think the wideness in the crotch of my pocket pul's are causing the leaks (refer to above DH dummy spit post lol)...
what do you think?
WOHB... SPosie! As the one and only wool cover made its way inthe nappy pail .. oops forgot to tell DH that the wool cover is different! lol
yep christy i figured was still good, 4 nappies plus postage was $50, was just a big shock!!!
sophie is in bed, had to boost the outside of her WC tonight in between the nappy and the soaker as she's weeing through the wool and sleeping bag is getting wet!! arrhhhh sick of washing it!!!
WOHB wildchild
Is there a reason no one will tell us the name of the store?
My posts are being overlooked :(
***** hun totally forgot, will pm you the link!!
thanks AJP! lol
HOws that scrumptious dinner of yours going :)
today we had to go visit my sister for her Sons 5th birthday & when we left I was about 10 minutes from home when I realised I forgot the nappy bag. DH said not to worry about turning back & just buy a small bag of sposies. So I agreed & when we stopped at the shop I had such a hard time justifying the $14 for a sml bag of the coles brand nappies as I didn't want to but a lge bag. I almost went to buy some terry flats thinking at least they will be reused at some point. But with no prewash or Covers (so would have to buy them too) Isla would wet through them in a second. So I relented & paid the $14.
Only to realise once we got to my sister I could have just scabbed a sposie from her seems her DD is the same size as Isla! Im such a pregnant head atm!
Oh & it was horrible, isla was sitting on my lap after i changed her from her nice lush itti bitti into a icky sposie & she wee'd & I felt it. I felt the warmth of her wee on my lap. Not the wetness just the warmth & I just thought that is sooooo wrong! PLUS she had no butt! Looked terrible!
WOHB - ahhhh home made Minkee/MM fleece AI2 that I affectionately call her "elmo" nappy as its red minkee that reminds me of Elmo
oh bugger FJ!
i know.. after dh's dreadful MCN day, i told him.. well he wil have to make them work as i am NOT buying any more sposies! when what is there is gone they are gone!!!!!
i have a little bag that hangs on the headrest of my carseat and i have a spare wipes and nappy in that incase i ever forgot the nappy bag.... perhaps a suggestion lol???
p.s fj how do you get your bamboo booster to look so nice! my trifold (i did them fluffy side in) dont look that nice and smooth.. do you use fabric glue to stick the sides together then sew?
FJ my nappy bag is MY bag as well!! so i havent forgotten it yet!!
PP dinner was spring rolls, mini dim sims, curly fries and ranch dressing!! disgusting but got rid of teh morning sickness!!
Yeah I usually do have something in the car but took it all out the last time I cleaned the car. I might add something back in there tomorrow. there is actually a compartment under the passenger seat, I might stash away a nappy or 2 in there, that way when I clean the car out they wont come out. Hmmm, think I will put my 2 swaddlebee pockets in there. I don't grab for them often so they will be good "in case" nappies.
eta - Jols, Yep, again I normally just stash one or two in my bag & off I go. But my sister is about 2 hours away so was taking a few more then usual.
yummo AJP! with my morning sickness i lived on original smiths chips lol... great nutrition huh! :)
i've been loving salt and vinegar ones!!!
ive also answered your other question!!
Well, I washed all my clothys and did a stocktake. I have 14 clothys I can use, but most of them are prefolds in covers. Other than that, I have:
1 BBB
1 BumGenius pocket
1 Cushie Tushie
1 Motherease Bamboo
1 Pumpkin & Parents Pocket
I've got more BB's and prefolds on the way (can't wait for fluffy mail!) - hopefully this week.
I like the BumGenius - but have only used it once. We seem to do ok with the prefolds, and seeing as they're so cheap, we'll probably stick with them until he's a bit bigger and fits in the OSFM better...
He's done two big poos in the clothys so far and they've all cleaned up nicely (except for some staining on the Mio cover) which makes me very impressed!
Now I'm off to see about doing that Weeuns order... *ker-ching!*
