so glad to hear berry plush's are a good nappy after spending so much on them haha i mean i only bought 2 and some extra snap in boosters but still i spent over $80 just on that haha.. i have a nappy addiction!! i didnt necessarily need them just wanted them haha luckily for my dp would have no clue about how many nappies she needs (because we mainly only use mcn for going out and overnight and flats at home) so i just keep telling him she really could do with more haha.. my collection is getting buch better with 4 pea pods, 3 BBH (one with inserts missing though that went walk abouts ), 4 snap in ittis with one extra set of snap ins (did have 2 but this was something that went walk abouts too who steals inserts?? weirdos) one itti sewn in and now i have 2 berry plush on their way to me with one extra set of snap in inserts hoping they come today!! i only ordered them last night but i clicked express post haha in the hope i could have them today sooo fingers crossed!! haha
renstar - i'm sorry i said all that stuff i didnt realise ud actually already bought pea pods!! we use our pea pods at night sometimes and with the night booster they sell and a cover i find them really good.. as well as during the day they still work for us if i am realistic about how long i leave them on for they just dont last quite as long as an itti but still a long enough time.. hope i didnt worry you too much they are still an ok nappy as long as you are realistic about them.. especially for the price
pinkpalace - woah thats a heavy soaking!!! we only use boosted pea pods or non boosted BBH overnight maybe we have a light wetter?? they are pretty soaked when she wakes but they dont come out the cover.. hope the new cover stops that happening to u!!!
WOHB - boosted pea pods with fluffy cover, should change her but shes playing so happily and hates being changed!!
PP, I totally found that a little bit before Riv turned 1, suddenly it was like the floodgates opened at nights, and suddenly the BBH didn't cut it anymore! So we got some night nappies (I'd been a tightwad til then, but changing bedsheets everymorning helped me see the value of night nappies :P), and they did the job (as long as the cover was on well, still had a few crap cover mishaps. Sometime after he turned 1 though, not sure when, nights became a bit drier, and if a night nappy isn't around, we can use a boosted BBH okay. For covers, my preference is either knitted wool (not that we have anything we can use yet) or side snapping PUL (like Motherease Airflow). Can you knit? How about trying to knit a soaker, I'm rubbish, but my plan is just to go running to Sammi or Melbel when I get stuck on the gusset one day. :P I think there are some knitters up your way.
Will do Sezzy baby!
Yep Ren, GK's I've seen all about the place, at GK's themselves, NN, WW...you stumble across them occasionally.
Blueberries I've seen at WW and Baby Blossom.
Tots Bots - I got my last lot from NN (think I saw fluffles in clearance, love my size 1's for a newborn), think they're also at Darlings Downunder.
I'd still recommend some Baby BeeHinds, those and Tots Bots are my fitted workhorses.
Was it you Ren asking about hte TB's?
I have the fluffle's, and TBH I am really not very impressed with them - they are slim fitting which I love, cos Charlotte is skinny as, but I find I cannot boost them properly (size 1) without them leaking or something....they really don't last long at all. I usually only use then when I know she is getting changed again soon - ie between the bath and bed time, the little bit of time between getting her dressed and going out..
Having said that, I got them when she was a bout 3 months old and they are still in really good nick, so they last ok, just not impressed with the absorbancy factor.
Using hindsight, I prolly should have bought the bamboo ones or something for the extra absorbancy
Well I've been doing a bit more research and reading all your advice I think I have a bit more of an idea of what to buy.
Just really depends on what works best on bubs.
Shame I don't have the $$ to buy anything right now, or a baby to try them on yet.
I can't believe I am getting so excited over the prospect of a nappy lol.
It really is quite catchy!!
My 6 d'lish arrived I got 4 med & 2 lge with the idea of puttin gth emed away fro Mr doddle. But just for the hell of it I tried it on Isla & OMG its a tight fit but its FITS!
Laura - yes. yes it is addictive. I'm doing well managing my addiction. I haven't brought anything for at least a few weeks now. (all my recent fluffy mail was ordered and paid for ages ago.)
And I'm still waiting on a baby to try FJ's nappy on cos it looks so noice...
Alexis - mine aren't really absorbent either. I do the same as you.
Nelle - stil lhave to learn to knit.
The wetnesss through hadnt been a problem until the last few sleeps. Going to try with a large cover and hoping for success. Would hate to think i just bough 24 BBB and cant use them at night!
I was given a Eenie Designs cover the other day and i really like it! DD has it on now.. it has little gussetts and is waterproof... never seen them before... will be good with prefold i think!
Find out in 1 hours if DH got the job he applied for,,,, arrrrhhhhh the clock ticks so slowly!
Also Ren, if you are checking out fitteds, Cute Tooshies are the bomb. I am favouring them over all my other fitteds atm - both for absorbency and for fit (and for yummy bamboo velour softness). Euan suits a side closing nappy much better than a front closing (with the exception of bumGs) - until your bub arrives you won't know if a particular nappy style suits them better. Many bubs are pretty versatile, but some nappies are cut to suit certain body shapes better. In general, a side closing nappy is more flexible, especially with snaps, because the legs can be adjusted independently of the waist.
I did the same as you - I bought my initial stash of nappies pre-bubs, I ummed and ahhed over whether to wait. I bought 12 BumGs and 12 TotsBots. For the most part I made my choices well, but I am finding that the Tots Bots are not fitting Euan as well now. They were great when he was a newborn, but not so much now. I can make them work, but not as well as a side closing nappy.
You'll probably find that once your bub has arrived you might want to splash out on some showoff nappies, and once they are a little older and wetting heavier / sleeping through, you'll probably want to invest in some night nappies, like Nelle said. Your peapods will be your workhorse nappies, but once you get an idea of how they work, they'll become a good starting point for a few more nappies here and there.
Ness - hope MJ is OK hon?
Mel (Gudism) - how many nappies have you bought today?
Nelle - how's your naughty little climber? Still swinging from the chandeliers?
Gigi - I've just picked myself up off the floor after your one line post.
LS - Darn, I think I kept a whole bunch of those little clear plasticy things with zippers () that the BumGs come in, but do you think I know where they are? I'll be doing a spring clean sometime soon, if they turn up I'll give you a shout.
Um, any tips for getting panadol wee stains out of nappies? We had a 'day' yesterday and it was a choice between stained nappies or baby screaming all day.
PSML Maz!
hey, there is no Elmo in the gallary on WAHMnaps But I am sure you did a great job so class this as an offical order please, in Lge.
Also, what was the name of that seller on Ebay you told me about for Minkee? I can't find her...
Oh, has anyone been on the BBH web site? I may have missed this being mentioned already but I wa slooking earlier & they have the Magicalls on clearence, they are the newer version & come with the bamboo booster thingy. Only difference is they are fleece lined not suedecloth & the velcro closur is the old stuff not the new stuff they are using. $18 each.
