I got fluffy mail today! My BB order came through - 2 BBB, 1 BBH & I magicall (free!) plus 1 wool cover (my first ) and 2 PUL covers.
They're all in the washing machine (except the wool cover - do I have to prewash that??) so am hoping to put them out on the line tomorrow. I'm always to excited to wash more than once. I usually put them on him for about an hour - then wash them again so at least I've had the fun of using them!
Nettie - Just lanolise me thinks, but I can't really talk as I got one from BBH too & it's just sitting here as new as the day I got it lol - god I'm lazy!!
PP - Yay, the three is all over, nothing to fear now!
WOPB: BBH Bamboo boosted with bamboo prefold & microfibre booster AND my medium 'The Arabian' Mazzy cover *just* fit over it! Yay!!!

Falguni - congrats - i totally understand you not shouting it from the rooftops if you've had early miscarriages previously - totally understandable. All my fingers and toes crossed for you, that THIS time is less eventful.
Gudism - i'm confused? you say you don't need anymore fluffy mail, but some posts you say you're scrambling around for something to put on bubs for night? so i thought that meant you needed night nappies still? where is the emoticon for confused?
Pink Palance and Cookie Monster - commiserations about the appliances dying on you. I am going to sound ancient here (and hell yes, i am) but i feel very nervous each time i buy electrical appliances that say "12 month warranty" which is the norm now, cos i think to myself, theoretically, that means you MIGHT have to buy ALL your electrical appliances on an ANNUAL basis, as none of them are under warranty longer than 12 months. Can you imagine how much $$$$ it would add up to if you made a list of every electrical item you own? Esp the big ones like fridge/freezer, washing machine, telly - let alone all the other ones. THis really scares me. I don't mind buying a new electrical item if i think - i'll get 10 years out of it - but for just 12 months!!! that's SOOOO expensive. Maybe it will end up more cost effective to rent electrical items in the future. Scary thought.
We haven't heard from LimeSlice or SParrowgal for a bit.
GUDISM - your heavily boosted GNST sounds great. I tried one of those on bilbs once (literally just put it on her for a minute), not a great fit for her so we didn't go down that path - but loads of people swear by them.
FOr boofers of night nappies, i love the pull up style of cover e.g the Disana woollen pullup soaker or the Dancing Bears pullup fleece covers. ANd the knitted longies with the drawstrings are great for boofy nappies too. and flongies - just elastic waists. (all great for doing up in dim light, whilst half asleep yourself! no snaps to match up, no aplix to match up, just pull up and over.
PINK PALACE - i've been thinking about your predicament (non MCN friendly dh) and all i can think of, is leave him with pre-stuffed pockets like BumGenius - that's aplix so does up similar to a sposy. With a grumpy dh, i would stick to the simplest MCN - and big man hands are a bit harder to negotiate front and side snaps (until the said dh is pro-MCN and willing to work it out - not hard, but takes the "right" attitude to make it all end happily i reckon).
so something like an aplix doing up pocket - would mean ONE thing only for Grumpy DH to put on, and the doing up bit is super simple.
If you stuffed a number of pocket nappies while at home, to leave for him to use during the time you are away earning the bacon, surely he coudln't buck up at that!
Do you have any aplix pockets? or am i suggesting something that doesn't match with what you have bought (please don't hate me!!!).
Pockets are dead simple, just got to go look up how old your bub is, to make sure i'm suggesting an age appropriate thang. Well, even if you have a tiny bub (i suspect you have a pretty new one), bits for bots fleece pockets - she makes both snap and aplix style - would be terrific. Drybees fleece pockets would be great too, pity they're no longer being sold in Aust. I must find out who else makes fleece pockets. (apart from the extra yummy Starbunz animal fleece pockets like at darlingsdownunder - too cute).
great score on the xmas tree.
Trinity - hoping your bub is on the mend still.
Melham - hope your dh keeps an eye on you, til all this feeling woozy business passes.
Ryco (at target) have a new carryall nappy bag style out, improvement on what they had when i needed a nappy bag. looksmuch more functional, but not sure it's small enough to have fitted in teh little basket under the stroller - nevertheless, they have much improved their nappy bag designs.
i also saw the "lockable" nappy buckets at a normal Target today - before i had only seen them at the Baby Target store. Double the price of normal nappy buckets, but there are four things you push down to stop toddlers taking the lid off the bucket. We used this to take nappies back and forth from hospital recently, works like a charm cos bucket CAN"T spill in the car boot.
Our new childcare centre - had an orientation visit today - they are very bf friendly and very MCN friendly too, very nice to find that out. So far, that's the difference i've noticed between our previous CC (for profit) and this one (community one). Same cost to me, but run on different philosophies.
Ange - congrats!!! huge hugs coming our way! Hope it is all fine and dandy for you and your blob
Mel - are you STILL here?? When'sthat VBAC happening then? ooh how exciting!!
Maz - Did Nik finish the readathon? Let me know how many books he read so I can transfer the money for him
I bought sposies last week for the fist time in 5 months!! NR just wasn't going away, kept flaring up overnight, so bought a small pack of sposies...all good now and back in the good stuff
Don't know how much I will be around, having a pretty hard time here atm...dealing with everything is proving harder than I thought, and apparently I am offending people speaking my mind here and trying to get it out, so dont want to post too much about it (dont want to get reported again!! lol)
Hi all
Don't know how much I will be around, having a pretty hard time here atm...dealing with everything is proving harder than I thought, and apparently I am offending people speaking my mind here and trying to get it out, so dont want to post too much about it (dont want to get reported again!! lol)
Anyhow! If I'm not myself, that is why
.
WHAT!!! i find it hard to beleive you could offend anyone alexis!!, please come back and chat in here!!! we love ya!!!
Gigi - sorry to confuse you!!! I have four night nappies so I don't think I need more (doesn't mean I don't WANT more.. lol) but three of them were wet, and the GNST I was waiting on for more proper boosters - so didn't really count that... mind you, we had a blow out this morning when he woke up - yup everything was wet!! DAMN!!!!! It didn't leak through the legs, leaked up through the top, so I can sorta assume that I packed too much crap into it, created a space up the top and doodle moved when peeing and sprayed everywhere.... ahh.. the trouble with boys and their doodles... I think its a fairly short rise as well, so that doesn't help, where as his Snoozywuns are a really great rise height.. (did I say that right? lol)
LS - are you serious?!!? Just keep coming in and posting what ever you want. Seriously, its a forum for people to express their own opinions, and if you can't do that, then why the hell is it called a public forum?!!?!? I love your opinions on all types of things, so please don't stop.. and don't know when the VBAC is happening, no movement yet. Think I'll still be pregnant in December..
Ash - how did your experiment go??
Nettie - I don't prewash the covers, only when they have been peed in and get a little stinky... lol.. but I'm pretty lazy.... (speaking of which I have another load of nappies to put on!!! )
Off for a massage this afternoon - hope it doesn't bring on labour (got too much left to organise - can't have baby yet... )
WOHB: Probably the magicall that I dropped him off at Grandma's in...
hey there can i join in??
ive been popping by ur thread the last few days.. i put dd in cloth nappies about 2 mths ago now (shes almost 10mnths) because she developed sensitive skin.. was thinking about it much earlier but we didnt have the start up cost but when she started with the rashes from disposable i started with flats and built up from there.. now mostly she wares the towelling flats during the day at home, BBH at night and ive got a mix of itti bittis and pea pods for going out i am looking to get more itti bittis though because ive found the older the pea pods get the more they are leaking
looking forward to getting to know you all!!!
WOHB : shes still in her BBH with fluffy cover coz she fell back asleep before i could change her lol..
nonie! Welcome to the fold. I love my ittis, infact i think i want more.....
Alexis- did i miss you offending someone? i always miss the good shiart. bah, comeback love and vent away. That's why we are here. Seriously. If you are having a rough time, don't leave, pop in more often. There isn't much fluffy mail can't cheer up!
Thanks all for your good wishes.
Gigi- i like to use when i am a little confused. Which is quite often! lol
Oh i meant to say, i got the coolest longies with little non slip feet in them from BabySoftLandings. They're called woolybottoms and they are awsome!
WOHB? urm, i've forgotten. i'll guess a minky blueberry OSFM. yup, that's definatley it.
Gigi - dh had the PUL pockets.. already stuffed with bamboo boosters lol...
I told him that he should use the BBB + cover as for some reason DD doesnt wet them as much
Does anyone else find this?
ie -
Pockets with a trifold (6 layers B and 3 microfibre).. last about 2 hours
BBB + short and long insert ... check at 3 hrs.. and hardly wet... the small insert that is under the trifolded long insert (front wetter) is stone dry....
Today i just changed the long insert in the same BBB... is this ok or is that a litle grose? the rest is dry
Over night the BBB with wool cover but no extra boosting is fine for DD...?
I am going to make about 24-30 prefolds 3 x 6 x x to fit into my PUL's for #2.
Can i use old sheets? Do they have to be 100% cotton or does it not really matter as they are changed to frequently anyhow?
thanks girls
HOpe all is well (sorry for the lack of personals)
Mel - it worked... no leaking or nothing, my god i was impressed.
Even with a fitted an cover half the time he is ending wet or they wick to know end so i am thrilled!
FLUFFY MAIL!!!! Got my Cute Tooshies when I got home this afternoon... OMG they are so soft & yummy!!!
LS - Post all you want sweets, we in this thread have missed you!! I mean, even I noticed you weren't around & for someone who get hazy on what they did yesterday that must mean something!! Glad you're back in 'the good stuff' lol.
QM - Fluffy mail for me too yay
