Cloth Nappies # 141

[Gigi]

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.
