[PinkPalace]

morning girls!
Well i am totally buggered!

DD didnt settle until 3am this morning.... omg! i am soo otired but of course cant sleep in.
I have pinned all my flanny prefolds and ready to sew. very excited. (DH isnt lol)

I will post a pic when i have sewn one up for you all

Beatrix. She is ok- havent seen her this morning and not game to go in her room after the 6 hrs of screaming last night. Not sold on a virus as it has been 2 months lol.. but the barrier cream seems to be going ok to lessen the mouth rash

Gudism- yes go a sling. I loved mine with DD - i had a babyrock one (designed by cairns midwives) and it was wonderful.. have it in the cupbaord in #2's room waiting!!!

Hope everyone is well

WOHB.,,,, probably a totally soaked BBB + wool cover

[Olive]

man you chicks can talk!!!

NELLE hun will pm you today!!!

WOHB BBB and shorties~!

*ETA* ALI use around 10-15ml of the wash, they say to use 20ml (1 tbs) but i dont think you need taht much, it doesnt last that long!!! i have the frost and snowdrops, the only one ive used, its sutble and makes her washing smell nice!!

Hi girls - for those that are interested.
Here is some photos from this morning of DD. See the improvement of her facial rash just from barrier creaming regularly during the day. Eye are a little red though.

p.s do we really not need to wash wool covers that are lanolised each time - esp after a ovenight wet through? I have it airing... but it smells a little from wee

WOHB - Mums Bums AIO

[~Raven~]

If it's smelly once it has dried then I'd wash it. Has it been worn more than once PP?

[Olive]

she looks much better PP!

MELBEL your one talanted women!! those costumes are awesome!!

[PinkPalace]

Nope just last night raven.
But it was a bad nights sleep and she was awake for about 5-6 hrs on ana off screaming of the night and i didnt change her... so probably had wetness for a while iykwim

Nelle - thanks for the Falguni update. The word makes me think of an oppressed group in China, i think it's a group trying to get religious freedom in China??

Suse - do you have a microfleece liner or something to stop the panadol stains? We don't seem to get them bar a few instances (and bilby has sucked down her fair share of Panadol).

it's great that babywearing is so much fun for you, didn't work out for me, so i'm getting to live it a little (vicariously) thru you!

That' the one Gigi - it's the Falun Gong or Falun Dafa, best described as an offshoot of Buddhism. They used to protest around the corner from where I lived.

I have microfleece liners, but I seem to get stains from wee, not poo, so liners do SFA. Seems that hemp stains worst, bamboo doesn't seem too bad. Must buy packet of emergency sposies for the bad nights.

I'm glad you can live vicariously through us BWers - saves you LOTS of money. Good carriers aren't cheap that's for sure!

Ness - glad you had a good night with Annika, sorry MJs not well.


BBL, gotta deal with stupid phone stuff. Grr aapt.

ohhhh i got fluffy mail the other day and was so excited i forgot to pop in and brag about it haha it was
1 itti bitti snap in chocolate colour
1 itti bitti snap in turqoise colour
1 itti bitti sewn in dark purple colour
1 extra set of snap in boosters
2 snap in mini boosters
yay my stash is improving all the time!!!
ohhhh baby carriers i love my ergo but man it cost a bomb and i dont use it as much as i should lol..

[~Raven~]

Sorry Mebel I forgot to say the costumes look even more awesome in use there than they did hanging up on the models in your lounge!

I have a feeling I'm going to be busted big time when my order from BBH arrives cos I bet it will come this afternoon when I have to take Angus to the dentist. Maybe I should send DH to the dentist with Angus and I'll stay home instead

Sammi, that happened to me the other day. I've been buying mcn with my own money (which DH can't access ) but he was home when it arrived!! It was another BBH though, which is his favourite nappy, so he didn't mind too much.

I've resorted to using sposies overnight with Nina ATM. She's been doing these massive explosions before she wakes up each morning, and they are totally disgusting. I didn't want to have to clean it off a mcn as they are just gross, so sposie it is.

I'm waiting on a berry plush to arrive this week, then that's the last bit of fluffy mail for me for a while

noni - how did you like the itti bittis? I love them on Emily, but not on Nina

[Arimeh]

DS is in sposies too. Nappy rash

Not a happy household at the moment...

[QueenMab]

Yay yay yay yay Maz!!!

Congrats on your new mod status Suse... are you wearing a mini skirt & white knee hi boots now then? ...riding a scooter perhaps??

Gigi - sounds like you had a good, if emotional. time out. Punky was almost an imaculate conception lol, she certainly beat the odds anyway! lol

Right, nappies.... nappies.... erm..... hmmmmm.... I have to wash them... is that enough about nappies?!

Gudi - how is your babyleg warmer hunt going, 'cause that IS what you NEED to buy... I personally have a gazillion pairs of bls but HLs are my favourite, get some of those!! Now.

[PinkPalace]

I feel you on the nappy rash Gudism!
So happy it is over and back to cloths... but now there is no sun to dry them tomorrow when i wash!
ARHHHHHHHHHH

WOHB - Pink BBB + PUL

[*noni*e*]

jodi - i absolutely love the ittis but i have to explain the only other mcns i have are BBH that we only use for night nappies and a few pea pods apart from that its all flats so that might have something to do with it haha i needa broaden my nappy horizons!! any suggestions for when we do our tax and it comes ladies??

[PinkPalace]

QUESTION:
How to wash a flanny prefold?
Do you dry pail them like bamboo mcn's or do they need to be soaked and napisaned etc etc????

(gigi - this is on NC too so if you reply here dont worry about NC... i love your advice!)

[Visitor7]

PP - sorry, no idea.

noni - haha, BBH is the only other one in my stash too! But I love them, so I keep buying them. I have the bamboo fitted & magicalls.

[maz]

PP -wash them like normal I suppose...hmmm sorry not useful am I ..and I keep reading fanny instead of flanny,
.

have a massive migraine..not good..so im not on much atm

[~Raven~]

PP when I used flanny flats exclusively I did the soak in napisan method BUT later on after I discovered MCN I still used them as change table liners and for nappy off time and they got dry pailed (after a rinse off) with the MCN and came up just as good after a good sunning.

Probably confused you even more now
