Pink - Dimetapp hasn't done anything to our MCN's. But we must be strange, cos antibiotics dont do anythign to our MCN's either. But petroleum based nappy rash creams - yeh - they do the damage - so if you use those, make sure you also use separate liners e.g cut up bits of microfleece etc. to protect your MCN.

Nessa - woot for your Most Excellent Night Out - go Ted E Bear!!!!
and how excellent to come home to six washing baskets folded up! about time he did something decent for you! i realise timing sucks.

Nettie - i don't know anythign about baby shampoo in regard to lanolising. The instructions i got only talked about wool wash and lanolin.

Limey - who makes SIDE SNAP Sandmans??? is that new?
What a nightmare your pickup at the airport turned out to be - PITA.

Hi Tracey, when i think of your lovely Zy, i imagine him toddling around with dragonflies on his butt! ha ha

bilbstar is almost betterer - today i really got it together organising the Gastro MCN stash - when she had it the worst - i was too unwell myself to think clear enough to do this - typical me! so organised - at the wrong time!!!! I even got out all the old cotton prefolds that we never used at nb stage (cos idiot here bought them the size too big). They are so darn bulky, that i needed a size bigger cover for the size she is now (10kg). But i needed to change her at 9.30am this mornign (wet nappy) and then - not until 4.30pm this afternoon (wet nappy) so now i'm worried about her hydration. At least she was interested in sharing a muffin with me this afternoon. All she has wanted is (what seems like ) nonstop booby juice the last few days. so you'd THINK she'd have plenty of wet nappies, i suspect it's more comfort feeding than true drinking.

MAZ - did you buy that POLY PUL cowprint happy heiny at the weewuns? i didn't realise there was both a cotton pul and a poly pul cowprint version. Hope you will put up pix of all this cowprint stuff when it arrives (plus the stuff i bet you will make!!). I'm not into animal prints but it tickles me how much the rest of you are!

Skittlebub - sounds like you have a splurge about to happen, have fun! Are the terry flats bulky on your bub? Do you have any contours or foldups? i reckon they would be trimmer on her (under a nb cover). If i still had my contours, i would send them to you. I looked up all the premmie size covers for someone else last night, darn it. Press post, never see it again.

SUSE - how was your festival?
