Cloth Nappies #134

Oh Mo, I'm so glad to hear that Maddi is OK - how scary. Hope her sore little bum is better soon, it's probably pretty tender. Poor little chicken.

Thanks Suse :)
Thanks Mel will give it try.
Off for another x~ray tomorrow to make sure none broke off, but looking at the x~ray it's the same shape, better to be safe in this situation!.

Exciting news girls! I have been offered a full time job starting on Tuesday, and with both of us working I can buy nappies! :woot:
I have worked for the company before as a temp and my boss liked my work ethic, I could surf BB and get all my work done before lunch! I am excited! It is reception and very easy but it means I have somewhere to be everyday and can get back into my routine!

Mo, Hope she is fine :hug: Maybe stop giving her glass bottles?

So if we move (DH has said if they stuff him around 1 more time he will get a permanent job making trailers with his bestie) It wont be for a while, and if we dont I am guaranteed full time work.

WOEB: Swaddlebees pocket with prefolds as booster.

WOSB: Undies

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. :D

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*

WOHB - i left a bbb + booster +wool cover out in the bathroom... will find out soon if he put it on to impress MIL ...

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!

thats what i told him! idiot! lol

Update:

WOHB - Sposie (the bbb + wool cover... still on the bathroom bench)
