    hi girls

    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)

    lol....I can see my post!!

    So we have graduated to one poo a day....and it is the kind of poo that leads to understand why you girls have a LS!! lol I didnt think we would get semi-solids overnight, but apparently we do hehe cant wait for DF to get home so he can change one, he will freak ;P
    So now I have a little plastic paint scraper in the toilet...such a PITA!! So far I have seen the LS for $85 - is that really the best price?? Seems so exxy to me....Does anyone know where I can get it cheaper?

    Oooh, Jols how exciting! Um, I had two x-small (Rikki) and two eenees snibs for when he was little, and that was JUST enough. 5-6 would be better I think. What sort of nappies are you planning on using? Remember that I used flats the entire time (and sposies when out and about in the early months) so I really should have bought more covers.

    I wouldn't have thought that you would ever have a huge baby LOL so you might well find that you need the x-small covers, but I wouldn't go crazy getting heaps. Stock up more on the small size. N wore smalls for aaaaages. It's hard to know buying online because with the Motherease they state that the x-small and small are for the same weight range!!!! What's with that? Anyway, they are definitely a different size.

    Did you use snibs last time?

    As you know, I really think the Motherease are worth it, we NEVER had a blow out from one until he was like 10 months or something! So I figured it saved me from all that extra washing

    Kat - secret is safe with me...

    Sooo.. I'm going to try a BB Bamboo for night time tonight.... and just wondering, cos he is a big wetter, I was going to use two long boosters, and one short one... so should I just clip the long ones at the back and at the front and slip the short one in between, and then have a wool cover on the outside?? Or any other better ideas?? I haven't used one for night time yet...

    Mel...Cooper is a heavy wetter and I use the BBB for nights. I use the long and short in the nappy and another booster between the nappy and wool cover..works well for me.
