lol - you girls want me to be thrown out for arguing befor dd even starts! lol
BUt i would say this is what they are doing. I had a sneak peak and none of the other bubs baskets had cloth so i am happy they will accomodate me! would hate to have to go through the whole search for a day care centre again!

Question....
i intend on using flanny flats on NB bub will the small BBH PUL covers be small enough for a NB or not??

Fluffy Mail!! Thanks Maz after my wash load is dry, you may have something if you want it. I have a BBB that popped a snap, so no use to me, but you can have it!

We are all sickies here. The GP said to give Jovie cough syrup so she could sleep, but its caused diarrhoea. Yuck, so her nappies are lovely atm.

Gigi - I'm with you, I'll have to start thinking about training pants etc... the one thing is we have some size 3 "undies" that are terry & have extra layering in the middle. They leak like mad when there is a wee, but thats what we used with Matilda. I think we may still use them with Jovie.

WOHB: BBB & PUL cover.

PINK - i found great info about MCN and chilcare centres on the Bubblebubs site. It gives you links to the relevant Children's Service Act in your state. I printed that out and also the "What is in a Disposable" link on the Nurture Nappies site.

had same situation as you, got told NO WAY, but i insisted and then was told, no worries. The day to day staff were brilliant with the MCN, it was the admin staff that had the (initial) problem. As soon as i said "But under the CHildren's Services Act . . . " they folded liek a house of cards.

At our first CCC place, the staff wiped the children with wet flannels.
At our new CCC place, the staff wipe the children with wet paper hand towels.
At both places, they shake whatever they can into the loo (i provide flushable liners) and the rest is rolled up and put inside the wetbag i provide.

She has been the only child in MCN at both places.

So with 12 ply 100% wool, and lanolised, i doubt it could be the shorties. Sounds like the nappy might be the issue. My bub sleeps in 16 layers of bamboo, sounds alot doesn't it?
What fabric is the 12 layers your bub is in?

Katones - expecting a bub, it's hard to know EXACTLY what size they will come out, so i would suggest you have a few different sized covers in prep - to work it out when bubs arrives. Just don't wash them all, keep tags on, so if you try them on and discover they're too small for your purpose, you can exchange/get refund etc. This is much simpler if you have NOT washed the product, and only briefly tried it on.

AnnaBelle - baby beehinds site is esp good at explaining the wash n care routine. There's alot to take in at the start of the MCN journey.

WOTBB: she's at childcare today, so when i left her at 1pm, she was in a PUL Swaddlebees pocket with cotton velour inner. Sidesnaps.
For the childcare worker, i label the front of the nappies (with a label that says FRONT). LOL. Otherwise they get put on back to front.

Thats what we use & they are slightly too big but, Maddi was only 2.7kg born

[AnnaBelle]

Just thinking out loud - with regard to CC centres - what if you provided disposable liners would the staff there be prepared to just peel them off and pop them into the bin for you??

Just had a thought.... The nappies I was looking at on ebay (110278883304) what was the problem with them that everyone saw? Just so I know what to look out for. Also would it work to buy cheaper pocket nappies from ebay & then get decent boosters to go in them? Or wouldn't that work?

[maz]

you'd still be looking at the same price as buying a fairly decent pocket babe.

there are Ittibitti d'lishes for $21.95 (AIO) at IB atm..they are great..we have 8 *gulp* medium's and 5 larges...im personally thinking about getting some more fitteds like the boo's cause I find them a great fit (but they need a cover)

Kimbaz is having a sale at her store..check out what she has to offer...I know she has Bum G's and although they dont work for us (due to the materials) alot of the girls swear by them.

have you checked your po box today honey

No I haven't had a chance to get down there with Zander having a cold & it being freezing here today. I'm hoping Aaron gets home before they close at 5.30. So it looks like Ittis are the way to go from all my research, it's just such a big outlay at once to get her into cloth full time. I guess I'll just have to go slowly & get her there gradually.
