    hi girls
    I have a BBH that was given to me. and it is so rough and scratchy
    Any ideas on it being soft again? it is in great condition but feels like sandy paper!!

    Gigi - we have been using BBB on her. NO creams or no bath wash
    Sensitive powder yes
    Half the amount yed
    Use wipes but they are no difference for the past 13 months
    She is teething (back molars), so i am putting it down to that

    Try bunging it in the dryer on low for five or ten minutes - that should soften it up nicely. Or scrunch it up heaps to separate the pile.

    thanks girls - i will give it a go
    Ashleys nappy rash is still really bad .. she has been in sposies for 2 days now and have been using bepanthen or zinc
    Then past 2 days her facial rash (mouth/chin and eyes) are flared up too and very bad.... i am thinking it is not a dairy allergy like the dr thinks it is - she hasnt had dairy in 2 weeks. and it is bad today.. so i am at a total loss with my poor little girls body today.

    WOHB - sposie..

    Bea - Snoozywuns is pretty high I think.. I would measure it for you if I knew how... lol.. I'm guessing just from one side, under the crutch, and up the back??? I only have larges here though.. and DS is a tummy sleeper too.

    PP would that be the hemp one that is made from french terry? Not much you can do about softening them up besides a bit of scrunching while they are drying or a light roll in the dryer.

    yep, rise is if you lay it out from top to bottom,

    I have my tax cheque coming very soon and am going to get 4 night nappies.

    Am going to decide between whizz kids and snoozywuns i think

    hopefully both places will take custom orders cause no one has any up for sale!!

    PP, is her rash spotty? or just angry red? If it is spotty, even if it is only around the edges it could be thrush. and around her mouth could be dribble rash or thrush.

    Sarah had a good day toilet wise today. she has just put her bedtime nappy on and DH is reading to her now. Em has been good today too, but had a leak or 2. she has also just had a sposie put on for bed as our night nappies are in the washing machine.

    Mel, hang in there hun. it is called an EDD for a reason, it is only and estimate and that baby will come out when it is properly cooked. spend as much time as you can relaxing now before it arrives. maybe a refreshing candle lit dinner folloowed by a bath and if you feel like it some BD then bubs can come

    I think I will tell CC to give yoghurt a break for a week or 2 and see if Em keeps chucking. she has been more chucky than she should be lately so I am wondering if she isn't handling yoghurt well. Does make sense though.

    I hung my washing out on the line coz it was sunny this afternoon, and not more than 2 hours later the rain started ! oh well, the forecast for the week is fine, fine, fine, lets hope I can catch up on my washing then!

    Heres my stash! (and i am still planning on getting about 30 prefolds... trying to find cheap ones online before i have to sew some).

    lol - twins for GUdism.... maybe they will think the same for me!

    Ali- it is from her vjayjay down to the crest of her tail bone and half way across the cheeks evenly one both side.. it is angry red in some spots and red otherwise in this whole space.

    Her face is dreadful. mouth inside it fine. All around her mouth to her chin and lower cheeks red... some coming up as blisters, and her eyes are all red and patchy angryness!.. ill see if i can upload a pic (not today as she is asleep but from a fews days ago).

    PP, Nice Stash! Em's Thrush spread from the bottom of her gut, down to her bum crack and down her thighs, it was very angry and bilstery and only had spots on the edges, because it was so bad. her mouth was very aggrivated with dribble rash by a runny nose that she kept wiping all over her face, and that looked a bit blistery too. The MCN with microfleece liners and anti fungal cream mixed with hydrocortizone was what finally got rid of it for her. Sposies made her sweat and didn't breathe enough to let it dry out.

    Here is some pics of her face - these are over the past 2 weeks. Today it is 200% worse. She hasnt one patch of clear skin aroudn her mouth/chin

    I wonder if it is thrush and the bum is too?
    most of my BBB are new and so surely not a build up of washing powder?

    PP - this is a message from the Bear about your banana smoothie
    slice the bananas and put them in the freezer until they're frozen, then blend them to make the smoothie with a little vanilla and the frozen bananas will do the job of the ice cream...
    so sorry about your poor little girl.... have you thought about taking her to the doctor? and is the rash itchy? Not sure what it might be, but it sounds pretty awful for her.
    And you too - all those lovely nappies going to waste!

    She has been to the doctor (2 weeks ago) and advice was:
    - Cut out all dairy - put back on formula
    - Bathe only in water - no wash products

    I have done this and not improving.. surely after 2 weeks id see a difference and now this nappy rash!

    The rash doesnt seem to annoy her on the face , she rubs her eyes and doesnt like her bottom washed though.

    I know all those MCN's just siting there... doing nothing....

    Thank Bear for me She is always full of culinary delights for my kitchen *hugs*
