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?
Hi Queenie! Hi Melham!
WOTBB: Lotus Night Nappy with Gigi bumjumper from lavendar jumper.
If all goes according to plan my Huge nappy order should be posted on Monday! That means I should have it by Friday!! :woot:!!! No More Sposies!!!! They are still in sposies @ CC though so I guess they only use cloth part time but it helps my budget!
Gigi - thats what I thought!! But it was listed by NappyChappies directly, they mentioned that tehy are rare adn she is going to list some over the next few months...When I get it and use it ill let you know how it goes!
It is a large though so Im not sure how well it will fit this soon...she is a skinn ylittle chicken! ! lol so I may just sell it on if it doesnt fit properly
Keep an eye on EBay...
Well DD is much better today asleep now adn hoping she wil slepp through again tonight, if so, I know she is on the mend...If not, DF wont get much sleep cos she will be in the bed with us! lol
WOHB: sposie...last one! We are back in cloth tomorrow!
ETA - has anyone had or have or heard anything about Simply Nights™ Bamboo Basic Fleece ?? I found one on special and am not sure whether or not to get it, all info appreciated!

I thought I would join this thread if thats OK!
The Lovely Cookiemonster has got me hooked on cloth after lending me a couple of hers.
I just received my first Fluffy mail yesterday!! 2 Bubblebubs, 2 Cushie Tushies and 2 Bum Genius. Though I should Test them before I go buying all of the one brand.
What is everyone suggestions for night nappies? I haven't been game to try one at night yet.
I think I'm going to order some more today but I don't know what to try next!
hi ya laura - welcome to the addcitive channel were the hell is Ashlea...woman get your boney butt in here!!!!!
Christy - sorry re the link to my classifieds...have removed and dont stress about the size thing...hehehehhe you made my day with your emails anyway
Granny Ness - WTG hon - they look fabo....I am so JEALOUS
OMG Trac honey how the hell are ya??? I cant believe his 1 already..no way
Gigi - nah didnt by the cow nappies....sorced some material though....wait another week and I will reveal
Hope today brings some fluffy mail..I know it will for some others
Was up until 1 this morning...cutting material and having a jolly good time as everyone was asleep...have to vaccy the floor casue its covered in minkee fluff
Well, I am running late as usual, but true to form, I have popped on BB anyway. :P
Laura, your bub is only a day younger than mine! I'm not using night nappies on Si yet, he sleeps through, but doesn't wee that much, I just make sure it's one of my more absorbent nappies (anything Bamboo or hemp really, like Baby BeeHinds or Tots Bots Bamboozles).
Tracey, ace to see you pop in!
Lime, heard good things about Simply Nights nappies I think, and I'm guessing a basic bamboo might be one without...microfibre? Do the standard ones have microfibre? Anyway, moral of my story is that I haven't heard any bad reviews as far as I can remember, and I think they've been around for awhile.
PP, like anything, sun for stains...I'm hanging for summer, a newborn in winter hasn't been kind to my nappies! :P
Sez aw no that your bestie hasn't seen the N-man! Do you know when she'll come back, or is she over there for good, or is her stay 'indefinite'?
Cute pic Ness. :P
Right, well 8 minutes to toilet, shower, dress & makeup now...piece of cake...
Gigi - I've only got flanny flats & terry flats and the terry flats are fairly bulky but, Im relenting & using them in the meantime now, even though I dont like them. All the fitteds & AIO's are too big for her still. Got no idea what contours or foldups are so Im guessing I dont have them LOL
Went for our first walk today to the supermarket & back via the lake. which was all good untill DD decided it was time for a feed half way round the lake. I am so not coordinated enough to BF in public LOL I ended up having to feed her again as soon as we got home.
Also had our first pooplosion from a flat today, all over a BBH wool cover! But it didnt get on her clothes so Im happy
Sounds like the cover did its work Sal! Got to love it when the clothes stay clean.
We were in flats for what seemed like AGES too. Lu was a little 'un as well. (2.6kg) But the time will come soon enough when you can use those MCN! Until then, i hope you have some good covers! Oh, and have you checked out the different folds for girls on that nappy lady site? I found folding differently gave a slightly less bulky fit.
Fluffly Mail.......I finally received my nappy that was short from a previous order and she sent me another Free, so 2 cute tooshies, a white Bumgenuies I won on B$B for $5 and a pookey fleece pocket and bob the builder pul cover she says they are med but no way will fit Cooper. Got a email confirmation that my BBH and Itti Bittis are on there way too
I sent Cooper to kindy in cloth today and his group leader is pregnant has been talking to me about his nappies for a while now she has decided to go MCN to...have given her my BBH info book and she wants a list of what and what not to buy, told her will ask you lovely ladies but I did tell her what works for some wont for others and to try a few different brands and get a LS. If I fall pregnant again will be first thing on my list, dont have one now as Coopers poo's all roll off.
WOHB....am guessing a BBH AIO as thats what I sent to kindy
Beat you, I can say I got fluffy mail today, well got it out of the mail box and had to give it away!!! What is the best Ai1 with velcro . Want to keep some at my place but am not a real fan of snaps. Also is there a cover that does all sizes.
BellyBelly Life Member - Love all your MCN friends
asleep now adn hoping she wil slepp through again tonight, if so, I know she is on the mend...If not, DF wont get much sleep cos she will be in the bed with us! lol
