GUDISM - that's great the longies have solved your night nappy woes. (i'm not surprised, just glad you have less laundry to do now!).
NETTIE - i agree, it's hard to know what goes with what! the good night sleep tight comes with so many bits! Hope you find something lovely in giraffe minky to put on your bub.
LIMEY - sorry hon, i didn't get your email at all, such a pain when you spend ages typing, and then lose it in cyberspace! I will ahve a think about narrow crotch, fitted nappies. What kg is your bub now? Are you after high or short rise MCN?
PINK - good on you for having a go at knitting a soaker. I think i goggled "learn how to knit" when i wanted to re-learn the basics. but that was not sufficient to make me knit a soaker!!! What the WAHM's charge for woollies is ok with me, i think they are worth it (to make up for me being unable to follow a knitting pattern).
PINK PALACE - The dye coming out of your longies - that is normal - that is why you wash them separately the first time (to note how much dye comes out) and why in the main, i wash ALL our longies SEPARATELY. The amount of dye coming out in the bucket, has never meant that my bub has blue legs in the morning though!
LANOLISING
You CAN lanolise WITHOUT washing, if you use the SPRAY LANOLIN style of lanolising. e.g sheepish grins at the weewuns. that type of thing. You massage it into the longies with your hands (apparently).
LITTLE SQUIRT
There were several threads on DIY Little Squirt on Essential Baby tonight. Made up from things you can buy at the hardware shop. The woman who wrote the DIY thread is a hairdresser and did it herself (with pics).
ALLIPRALLI
in our local Spotlight, normal price for the PRINTED Little Additions is $12.99 and $8.99 for the plain colours. I ahven' been to the latest sale to know the sale prices. I dread going there because bilby gets bored and riots so i spend all my time entertaining/chasing her/containing her - instead of drooling over quilter's cotton like i want to.
Sewing machine update - am considering Husqvarna Viking 116 in theory - must go and play with one in a shop.
ALIOOPS - are the girls still memerised by the drier? LOL
NELLE - sorry, i misunderstood, i thought you meant FOE, my bad.
FJ - what is the abbreviation LJ at Booroi relate to? is it Llamajama ???
If anyone wants to try making FLONGIES, Fairy fabrics is selling a pattern for them.
WOTBB: Sugarpeas nappy cover with sugarpeas nappy insert and wool night booster.
Good luck Melham! Hope it's soon for you!
I'll be support crew member for my bestie tomorrow at 9am - SO EXCITED!!! (it's a scheduled c-section that's why i know when it is).
-
Gigi I didn't use it today. must do some washing tomorrow though. I have been busy online today (paid for MPM but announcement hasn't been made yet) and then i had to go and collect our second car and then figure out where the anchor points are. And before I knew it, it is now 12:15 am!!!
So I had better get cracking on heading to bed so I can do lots of washing and grocery shopping and cleaning tomorrow, and I have to keep my eye out for the MPM announcement so I can edit my Sig. Night all :lol:
-
Gigi - oops sorry - Charlotte is unweighed for several months atm lol but I think she must be somewhere between 8 and 10 kg's...she is in a medium everything, mainly because of the rise...She is really thin and long anyhow...will try nd get to a chemist tomorrow and get her weighed :)
will also resend the email tomorrow too when I can type it out again! lol
Thanks for your help hun :) And heaps of luck tomorrow too! Hope all goes well with your friends birth!

I tried out a tots bots cover on Nina last night, and no leaks!! So I'm thinking the BBH wool cover is just a little too small. If only they'd do an xl.
I also had Emily in a fleece cover, and there were no leaks there either. Very happy with that.
nelle - If I had to choose between the 2, I would pick the itti bittis over the magicalls. I've never had a leak with them. And if it's nap time for Emily, then I just boost it with a bamboo booster.
I was telling DH about a LS, he'd never heard of one before, and he got very excited. He forever complaining about how gross it is scraping the poo into the toilet. Honestly, if he had to do it every day he'd get used to it! So that's next on my list of things to buy.
-
nelle im with jodi go the itti's, there the only nappy that holds up after sophie as been swimming! we leak through blueberries after an hour!!! ittis last for about 3 after swimming!!!
should mention too the lovely melbel fixed my zada night nappy as teh snaps came off after one use, used it again and two fell off this time! so not happy with this nappy (obviously not mels fault) must be something about the material the snaps just dont hold :( what a waste of money

Question.....
how many nappies is too many?? I think these MCN's can become quite obsessive :P
-
It is VERY addictive! I don't know if there is such a thing as too many. Some of the girls here have in excess of 100 nappies! I have about 40, and that's for 2 in cloth. But I do have to wash every 2nd day to keep up with it all. Which I don't mind, I have plenty of time on my hands being a SAHM.
I didn't get my fluffy mail today :( postie actually came early today, he doesn't usually come till around 4pm ... or maybe that was yesterday's mail :think:
-
Haha Nettie! Glad you solved your booster mystery. :P
Alright, I'll try a sewn in Itti then. :)
-
Katones
I have about 45 MCN's and 20 prefolds
For 2 bubs though! (so half it and it doesnt sound as many lol)
No fluffy mail for me... but OMG my LJ's are taking forever to dry in the shade.... any hints?>
-
pp...if you want them to dry quicker you need to get you hairdryer out....or you could blow on them lots...lol
Nothing really nappy related here atm.. :(
WOHB: d'lsih

This is my stash so far... am still waiting on more fluffy mail....
1x NB Mummy N Me Minkee AI2
4x NB Green Bums AIO's
2x Small Green Bums AIO's
3x NB Green Bums Flannel snap in Boosters
3x Small Green Bums Flannel Snap in boosters
1x Small Green Bums Hemp Snap In Booster
2 x Baby Beehinds Small Magic-Alls
2x Baby Beehinds (1small/1 medium) Minkee AIO's (the new ones)
18x Flat Flannel nappies.
I know i need to get some covers for the flats, but can't for the life of me decide which ones i want.
Hubby thinks all i am going to do when i finish work is buy nappies and wait for the postie :P
-
Heck, we ALL wait around for the posite to come :lol: It's the highlight of our day!
With the covers, you could try one of each which you're looking at. And whichever ones don't work/suit, sell them, and buy more of the ones you do like.
In my stash, the covers I have are:
bbh wool covers
bbh pul covers
maz fleece covers
tots bots fleece covers
Just remember, bub will outgrow the newborn or small very quickly, so make sure you have some medium on hand. Emily has been in medium nappies and covers since she was a month old. I didn't even get her in the newborn ones.
-
Yup waiting for the postie is my life. :rolleyes:
Mother-ease covers are pretty ace.. I'm impressed with them. Maz's are gorgeous as well...I think I have bummi's as well that I use.... I've got so many covers that I hardly use them.. think I went a tad overboard and forgot what I had ordered.. LOL I nearly have more covers than fitted nappies... lol
WOHB: Sposie (Day care)

Nelle - I might have to start the Wannabees knitting thread - no talent, no tools, no nothing :redface:
Jols - what does Sophie do, drink the pool?
Jodi - how's the bear-bottoms working for you? Is that what you had Emily in last night?
Gigi - you'll be a WONDERFUL support person!! Ooooh, how exciting!
FJ - I got fluffies today! Yay - they're gorgeous! Haven't tried them on yet!
Well, we had a first last night - leaky night nappy, got to experience the joy of changing sheets and screaming hungry dripping baby in the dark at 4:30 in the morning. The WC just isn't working for E atm unfortunately, might have to offload it. Or save it for when he's a bit bigger.
WOHB: just up from a nap, so BumG but not for long...
-
Emily had a maz fleece on, and Nina had a tots bots on. I'd never tried anything overnight except a wool cover, and both girls had NO LEAKS! I was really impressed. And Nina slept 14 hours.
Gotta love those 4.30a, changes hey! :rolleyes:
-
WEll ashley had wicking again last night in her BBB and wool cover - and i evenmanaged to stretch it so i have a great rise over the nappy!! but her shirt and pants must have gotten tucked in somehow! doh!!!!
Iam up to the 11th row knitting my shorties! very impreseed with myself. ALthough need to learn how to fix the few holes (that were from dropped stitiches lol)... for a first attempt as long as it is functional i am happy... doesnt need to be cosmetically pleasing as it is fo rmy own benefit anyhow!
All done in stocking stitch though (FJ.. i tried and tried but couldnt alternate... had to do 1 row of each now for the whole thing!)
Katones i have about
7 PUL BBH small cover
5 various covers... eenie designs, fluffies etc and 3 wool BBH in small. then the mediums and large for later!
For all those stalking Little squirts on ebay.. there is a Bum Genius Nappy Squirt on there going cheap... not sure what they are like though. Just do a search for the above i am sure it will show up
WOHB - BBB +PUL
