Don't have anything to say about nappies really (apart from that I STILL love D'Lishes :P), but I saw Ness she's struggling with MJ's feeding - mate, it's a really common 4ish months thing, if she's just being fussy, Silas is driving me BONKERS, always wanting to look around, sucking all wierd, just being an all round feeding nuffer. I think he's becoming more aware of things around him, and wants to see what's going on. Tried to feed him at playgroup today, needless to say, he was starving when he got home only an hour later. :P
PP, I don't think so, its int eh round which really isn't hard & if you need to buy new needles anyway get yourself some double pointed ones so you can give it a try
Well ashley is in bed in her shorties! they finaly dried and i am hoping they work!!! will see i guess
They are a bit big but will be good for her to grow into.
Still need to figure out how to make the waist cast off stretchy to better get over her hips.... any idea girls?
Here are pics of her in her shorties for anyone interested!
Nettie HERE It's in her blog post #3. Come chat knitting in there
Hi AnnaBelle What Nettie said! I have stacks of different ones and have only gone back for seconds or thirds of the ones I really like. As with anything what suits one won't always suit someone else so take it all on board when you make your decision.
*sigh* time to drag my lumpy self off the couch and put the nappies on the clotheshore. I seriously can't be bothered with cloth ATM and it's taking every iota of motivation to keep it up Seems a lot easier to grab a pack of sposies ATM but we've just got ourselves a car (yay for the redraw fecility!) so need every cent to get it sorted and ready. Can't complain as we got it at trade price but we have to organise the roadworthy etc hence no spare $$$ till we sell the other one (yadda yadda yadda I'm so sick of cars!).

You are all probably sick of recommending nappies to those new to the mcn world but I do need some help...please????
Currently I use itti bitti d'lish snap ins and I love them, but DD is growing out of the mediums so quickly. She is 8 months and nearing 9kgs. In the last few days we have some poo leakage issues. I also have 2 gk pockets that I use. Up until now I have felt that the gks were too bulky.
Oh yeah I get a couple uses out of the itties because I use my own cloth as inserts as well.
Seeing that DD is growing out of the itti's it is time to consider my next purchase.
Do I get the next size up in the itti's? Are they going to last her for a long time?
Should I look at another brand...but which one is the problem?
Bare in mind that we will be going for another bub so the next bub will get use out of the mcn too.
I am looking for a nappy that is not too bulky, easy to dry and possibly re-use with my own inserts...My inserts are just tea towel like cotton that I fold and lay in the nappy.
Hi Bek
I have just gotten my large Ittis
DD is just under 10 kg and they fit her. with the narrowness of the crotch etc i am sure they will do her for another 6 months... they will see what will happen.
I use Baby Beehinds a lot - they are one size fits all fitteds and i find them a great day (currently use overnight too) nappy - they last the longest with my daughter (although i know girsl here have had different expereinces). Going to sell off a few off my BBH to buy more AIO's for DH (need to keep him happy hehe).. PM if you are interested.
I just also got some Bum genius and am liking them too (OSFM) pockets.
I find the cute tooshies are way too low int he rise - and DD gets a tradies crack lol
Baby cheeks i like for the OSFM factor
Dont realy have many sized AIO's - a few magicalls but they are in large and WAY TOO BIG for dd atm.
Hi Bek! What I like for Riv (almost 2) - Itti Bittis, BerryPlush (I only ever buy these on sale though!). I suspect he's getting a bit big for GK's but many kids wear those to TT, his baby bro wears all the BumG's so can't comment on those recently, our Gadimal pockets are ace but hard to find.
We don't go wrong with fitteds and covers - Tots Bots or Baby BeeHinds with covers.
(The one/flexible sized ones like GK's, BumG's, Tots Bots or BBH's will do your other kids too)
Bek I'd get more itti's! Caleb is in larges and has plenty of room to grow still and he's about 14 kilos. Their shape changes a lot once they are up and walking. Caleb is smaller in the bum and wider in the hips which is why they still fit him well.
PP yes but only for short wears. I'd never put him to sleep in one or do a long car trip.
