Wwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhooooooooo fluffy mail here too......2 Blueberry's OSFM fitteds.
whob.......sposie is at daycare.
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
Any recommendations on a good cover pattern?
I have a heap of fleece here & need more covers
Awww sal your little girl is sooo cute!!!!!!
DH has given me permission to buy a Minky GK.. hmm.... now... do I take the bait or not... ;)
PP - thought you were trying out your longies? We tried out our new ones last night.. hehe.. LOVE THEM.. I paid an exra $2 for them to lanolise them for me so I could use them straight away (cos I wouldn't of been able to wait.. )
Lol at you not being able to wait to lanolise the longies Mel! :P You're my kinda gal!
The Minky's are pretty cool.
Sal, Maddison's just gorgeous. Sure you know that though. Not sure on a cover pattern...could you trace the shape of a cover you already have?
I got my first ever Fluffy Mail today!(Bought all my others at the expo)
So exciting! DH was laughing at me - he just doesn't get it....
I was parcel from Baby Beehinds:
4 BBB (2 blue, 2 purple) - 2 for me, and 2 for presents to new mums
2 sm PUL covers (1 green, 1 purple) - presents to go with the BBB to the new mums
1 lrg PUL cover (purple)
2 lrg wool covers (1 blue, 1 purple)
and a large purple magicall
I didn't realise how much purple I had ordered until I took it out of the pack...DH said something about me being frustrated somehow LOL
I could have sworn that I had also ordered 4 bamboo night boosters too, and had to get my email order receipt thingy open to tell me that I didn't.....must have accidently closed the window (we have major internet issues here - sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't) that had the checkout that I ordered it in, and then forget to put them back in again when I re-did my order...D'oh!
Do I need to lanolise the BB wool covers before I use them for the first time? I thought maybe I read somewhere in one of these threads that you don't bother doing the BB woolies, but do you do it once, and then never again? Or just never at all?
Oh, and I know they reckon to wash every 2 days, but is it uber important? We use MCN at the moment for 5 days of the week, so in that time do I have to do 3 washes, or can I do one with 2 days of nappies, and one with 3? Just that washing 1 days worth seems like a waste of water, and time etc...but can do it if it really is necessary for the nappies...
DH is a funny one - DD had a BBB and BB PUL cover on while she had her nap, and he was the one that got her up when she woke up, and he hasn't really done much with the BBB, just the AIO and pockets that we have, so he undid the cover, and then called for me to come and help him coz he didn't know what to do....he even asked if he has to change her at all, of if she was still good to go! And it was an easy peasy change - she was just wet, how hard can that be to change?
WOHB - sposie, DH took her to the shop, so I told him I would let him use a sposie while they were out, coz he knows what he is doing with them...
DH took DD so I could have some peace to ring a man about a job, and he isn't answering the phone anyway! Its always the way!
Mel - i know!!!!!!!!!! i soak lanolise (not spray) so rah... tonight will be the night!!! i hope the are dry.. running out to check now! lol
Alli- yes ! i lanolise after i wool wash everytime.
WOHB - a soaked BBB +PUl ... she just woke up.... off i go!
PP - hope they are dry!!!!
Ali - I didn't lanolise the BB wool cover when I first got it, just used it until it smelt a bit too much like wee for my DH to put up with (he has a sensitive nose - but I would say that I kept it for about a month without washing). I didn't use it every night though, but most nights. And I hung it up on the curtain rod (yes I know, I am strange) so it would get an airing each day so it wouldn't smell as wee like.
So its back in the cupboard now that I am using longies (I just prefer the longies over the BB wool covers, anyone else find that?) but once all my longies smell too much like wee wee, then I'll give them a wash and lanolise and then start using my BB ones. I just rotate them like that.
Did that answer your question? I'm very tired, so probably babbling..
NOOOO still damp!
Damn you thick luscious 12 ply wool!!!!!!
Coolies. Thanks for that girls!
I think I will do it before I use them for the first time - I want to wash them before I use them first, and they wouldn't be dry enough to use tonight now anyway...Now I just have to hunt down my tube of Lansinoh that is around here somewhere - probably with a bunch of other stuff I haven't seen (or even missed!) since we moved in here at the start of April...
Gudi - a curtain rod sounds like as good a place as any to me to hang it to dry! With the PUL covers I have to alternate where they are, either on the end of the change table, or on the end of the cot, depending on where Emy is. I have tried to keep the just on the end of the change table, but then when I went to change her, she grabbed them, and started flapping them about everywhere, and then threw them as far as she could. Crazy monkey! I don't have any curtain rails on any of my windows yet, so don't have that option.
PP - you make them sound soooooooo good and soft squishy and comfy... It makes me want a pair for myself! (but only ones that can go in the machine, coz I couldn't handwash to save my life - I send all of my handwashing to mum, good thing there isn't much of it!)
***** sorry didn't answer you earlier Janie - yup of course its ok if you give it another bash.. I'll even let ya poo it in.. (well not YOU... but you know what I mean.. lol):
i got more fluffy mail today :D
a blue/yellow check Green Bum small in size :D
3 more parcels to arrive that i am waiting on... now all i need is the bubba :D
Ive put some pics of Ashley in her longies.
OMG they are huge... lol i only got large... maybe she was more a medium.. they would reach her armpits! lol and she cant walk in them (oh well they are for night)
https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ry.php?cat=912
Hoping for a good leak free night!!!
WOHB - BBB + LJ longies
PP........they are so cute, cant wait for mine to arrive. :)
Sheesh the GNST & Sandmans take ages to dry! I think I'll start refusing to put my MCN any longer than 2 hrs in the dryer. The rest of the time they can sit on the airer if it's too cold/wet outside... :rolleyes:
So I haven't been able to use the new ones yet... maybe tomorrow. Might try my longies then too!
Aha - the washing's just finished so off I go to hang out DS's clothes on the airer. He's been a bit 'sicky' lately and we're really going through the clothes. Wish I could remember to put a bib on him! He also leaked through his swaddlebees with a poo and his happy heiny with a wee... :(
oh oh oh oh!!!
Who like monkey doodles??? beyond belly having sale!!! $18.95 (rrp $27.95)
plus 5% off store wide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmm now what to buy
hi there!
Well about to head to work (YAWN)... sad as i want to see how my longies faired overnight lol.
DH has instructions for washing the nappies and surprisingly was very open and happy to do so! - maybe he is turning the MCN corner! lol
Thinking of laybying another 8 or so BBB???? mmmm Thinking that with 2 i will need more than 35 nappies? what do you think?
HAs anyone used a blueberry fitted overnight. I did lastnight as cooper fell asleep before I put is BBB on him so I just put a wool cover over the Blueberry and it worked great No leaks, though he is a little red.....will put a liner in nextime incase is the material reacting on his skin though I hope not as I love them and want MORE.
WOHB...bubblebubs
for any one interested
2 night time sandmans $30 each buy it now (pink) B4B
mels bubba has arrived!!
aw wow! when that happen!
this morning c/s are placenta was deteriorating
oh ok, my power has been out all day (again! ducking wind!)
yay Mel!
hope all is well!!! cant wait to hear the news.
Well DH said the longies were great (yay).....
2 nights of no leaks, woohoo! Had the fleece covers on the girls again last night.
How do you think they fleece covers will go during summer? It's very hot and humid up here during summer, will they breathe alright?
Mel's doing ok, considering. The painkillers aren't doing a lot unfortunately. And she's having major BB withdrawls!
wooho jodi! good for you with the noleaks!!
Any suggestions for a fitted bamboo nappy other than BBB?
For day? WC fitteds are bamboo & Microfibre.
For Night? WC Dreamy nights are Bamboo with microfibre.
LOL I am a WC fan so thats my 2 cents
eta - I need to motivation to lanolise my woolies. You would think having to wash my bed sheets would be enough but nope, I just can't do it LOL.
do you just soak in lanolin FJ?
And stupid question... lol... what is WC?? wild child?
Never know... might be knocking on your door for 2 x night nappies soon FJ!
Yeah but I also need to wash the llamajama longies she was wearing last night to bed. She didn't wear them as a cover, as she had a iish fly night nappy on & they are an AIO but it leaked.
My main lack of motivation is the fact I currently live at a max temp of 5 degrees & they just ain't gonna dry!
WC= Wildchild. As you can see from this photo, showing the entire first 2 rows (bar the mandy macs on the end) are wildchild nappies LOL
eta - see the problem I have is I snap for WC & get to see the new materials first & then just buy them rather then give them back when they are made LOL
lol FJ.
WOuld be hard to hand back!
DH put the longies over an AIO today... for her sleep but it didnt leak so all good. she has it back on.
WEll in qld my LJ's took 2 days to dry!!! so i hear you!!!
lol
THinking of laybyying another 8-12 BBB.... what do you think.
I have 22 BBB and 10 AIO pockets atm... i just cant see them enuf for 2? (plus my 20 prefolds and 10 odds and ends small MCNs)
WOHB - BBB +LJ
