    Gudism - drink pear juice and eat prunes and at least 2-3 L of h20 this should do the trick within about 24 hrs!

    laranna - i have used the little swimmer disposables and a swim nappy i bought from Bigw. it ws fine (dd was 6 months at this stage and out grown) - i would send it to you but it is bright pink lol.

    Melham - i am the same. I just realised i know have over 60 nappies ouch! and 20 prefolds! i cant fit them anywhere!

    WOHB - nuthin!!! in the bath with DH

    Another pear juice fan here love. I drank it like mad after the birth in anticipation of problems - none! (til I ran out of pear juice :P)

    Laranna, I think I've seen swim nappies at most of the nappy department stores online, like Wee Wuns, Nurture Nappies, Darlings Downunder...and a few others.

    laranna - I too use the higgies disposable swimmers. I rinse them out in cold water after each use, and re-use. Nina's been swimming since she was 6 months old, and I've never had to buy another pack, only when she needed the next size up.

    Well Nina has decided that she prefers wearing undies lately, so I'm getting the opportunity to use her bbb on Emily more, and they're starting to fit a lot better. I still prefer the itti bittis on Emily, but the bbb aren't too bad. I suppose the fatter she gets, the better they'll fit.
    Emily has a nasty rash on her face ATM. She's had a reaction to the sunscreen we used, and her face is peeling big time. Dr has prescribed pretty strong ointment & painkillers for her. Poor chicken.

    WOEB: bbh & wool cover
    WONB: nothing, about to have a shower

    Thanks, I'll pick up some pear juice tomorrow.

    DD has nappy rash - already!!!!! Grrrr.... has anyone used more natural stuff on their newborns bums so they can stay in MCN? Otherwise I'll just use bepanthen and sposie on her. I have some natural stuff that you can use with MCN, but unsure as to how it will be with her skin...

    Larana- i just bought a swim nappy from Darlings Downunder, it was posted the same day and arrived the next. Not even express, just excellent service. I got a Happy Baby one, it is neoprene and the only one allowed in UK swimming lesson pools, so figured it must be good.


    ETA- I use Moogoo soothing cream with MCN with no probs mel, and apparently all natural.

    I use household cornflour on DD's bum with the mcns and it works well to get rid of the dampness.
    If it gets red... i cover thick in bepathen and with a mf liner and it is gone by the next morning

    Laranna, i use the ones from big w or kmart. If you do use the disposable ones, and they are not dirty, you can re-use them, they dont hold wee.
