Maz - that sure was freaky about the nurse dying - i'm sure it's got nothing to do with you and the complaint though.
FJ - the baby beehinds wetbag will be fab when you have a newborn, but just for Isla now, i'm sure the size of a jamtots one would be just fine and dandy. I pack the baby beehinds one for childcare (for the day) and use the jamtots one for a morning outing.
Laranna - i recommend the IMse Vimse swim nappy too, but the sizing is generous. I would avoid buying a swim nappy with aplix on it, the aplix snags on YOUR bathers i found. Grrr to that.
Melbel - great to hear from you hon!
Tracey - loving the pics of little Zy! what a stunner he is (still).
Nelle - did you mum see my list of the aplix closing AIO (her request)
Nessa - jade sounds vary vary noice. I have gotten NN FNQ mail very promptly in the past - in our neck of the woods, so i would contact them if i were you, something doesn't sound right.
Alioops - hope your car isthoos improve soon
AnnaBelle - not allowed to post links for you, but to get great modern cloth nappy info and advocacy, google
ozclothnappies
nappycino
Prefolds and flats for a nb sound fine, just make sure you have the waterproof covers, not Ye Olde Pilchers of Eons ago (easy to buy at big w etc but a big waste of money), you'll read all about the new technological advances in MCN fabrics on ozclothnappies and nappycino.
There are other options for newborn/small stage too, like fitted nappies. People start using pockets/aio's at varying ages, for lots of reasons e.g size of nb, shape of legs, how often and how explosively your newby does their business!
anyhoo welcome AnnaBelle, lots of us have either MCN'd a newborn or are doing that right now, you're in the right place.

Does anyone here dye wool?
Is it the same as dyeing cotton?
If I was going to sell some nappies should I strip wash them first?
I don't think I have ever bought strip washed second hand nappies (they always smell like wee ) but I think I would have a guilty conscience selling my smelly nappies. I am going to sun the stains out but wondering if I should strip wash first?
Also what do you think is a good price for Original Magicall AIO's that have been used for about three months (maybe once or twice a week each)? Is $12 unreasonable (gosh I hope this okay, I am in no way advertising mods, just need an opinion)?

Ash, do what you would finad acceptable for yourself. If you want to recieve strip washed nappies, the stripwash them, is you dont care then dont. and put a price that you would be willing to pay on them
Thanks Gigi, Alioops & Saram for your advice - will check out the websites and get back to you with more questions!!!
Ali - you got me thinking certainly about the advantages of the A12 nappies also!!
Anyone got opinions on greenkids nappies???
What about all these "starter packs" or should I just go and buy one at a time??
Many thanks
Gigi there are a few different ways to dye wool. I have used acid dyes (landscape) and steam to set. Others use food colouring, jelly or kool aid and microwave or boil.
Annabelle - I love Green Kids for DS - haven't tried them on DD yet though. But I even use mine overnight for him, think they are totally fab. I still want a minky one though, but been holding out... maybe I'll get myself one for DH's birthday.... hehehehehehe
I brought a lot of trial packs, to see what kinds of nappies I like, and that I could try different types. What works for one kid may not work for another too. Bubblebubs aren't great on DS but the ones I have for DD haven't had a problem with....
Had a blow out last night with DD - had a magicall on her - must of been too big in the legs cos she PEED everywhere!! haha!!! DH ended up with wet legs... hahahahaha!!!!! She didn't really appreciate being soaked like that....
MAZ - the clinic nurse today LOVED one of your covers - said it was LOVELY.... Then she took of DD's nappy to find she had done a stinky poo in it... lol
I'm in for any meet up - I don't mind!!!! I can travel anywhere after 5 weeks!!! (Until I go back to work when DD is 12 weeks old.. )
