Cloth Nappies #139

[Gigi]

Can't wait til the weather warms up a bit and I can put him in the longies & bought! They don't have feet and I'm afraid his little legs will get cold in just socks & the longie... he wears about 3 layers at night because we get frosts here (brrrr).

Nettie, do you have any babylegs / huggaluggs?

i put bilby in socks, babylegs THEN longies so she is toasty - and buy the longies too long on purpose.

SKITTLEBUB - wishing you well in your labour hon!!

just got email from baby beehinds consultant, the minky aio's are for sale now, but cannae find any product specs on them, and from teh photo, i can't even tell if they are front or side snappers. No detail on what the absorbency layers are made of, how the absorbency is configured, number of layers, if there is hidden PUL layer under those gorgy coloured minky outers. Can't find anything on the BB website - does anyone here have one or seen one, to know? COlours are gorgeous.

Nessa - Annika looks very cute in her pink longies.

Welcome Allipralli
did you know you can buy Trial Packs and Gift Packs that are made up of LESS than you are already talking? LIke you mentioned 2 Baby beehinds covers and nappies, well you can get Nappy Trial Packs that are ONE nappy and ONE cover for example.

places to look for these: babysoftlandings (e.g the Night Trial Pack), sustainable hemp products (nappy and soaker packages for all sizes), baby blossom (i think they have trio packages) and the one i thing is the best idea (but maybe more of a GROUP present than for a single person cos of the cost, the Nurture Nappy Stash at Nurture Nappies. That one is really good, cos it has ONE of each style of nappy for the new parents to try. eg fitted and cover, pocket, aio etc. A few friends putting in for that one would be a lovely gift.

there are heaps of packages where you buy 12 of one brand, one type, but it's easier to work out what you do and don't like about MCN, if you get the opportunity to try out a few styles first (before committing to 12 of something).

STIFF LINERS; a while back people were mentioning about stiff liners, well i have found (in last few weeks), that washing the liners that are just wet ones, using them again, they are much softer. They disintegrate faster than i realised, but at least they're softer.

MAZ - congrats on Mateauz rolling - that's lovely to hear!
