AB, that is exactly what our CCC does - takes out the flushable liner and flushes it in the toddler toilet.
Pinkpalace - Thanks for that
I was thinking about CC too and was wondering if you had disposable liners would the staff be happy to remove them for you - i dont think that is too much to ask??
I think I am going to do a heap more reading on MCNs - i do have time !! bub is due in November eeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkk!!!Feeling a bit more at ease with it and definatley agree with buying a few different brands and trying them out.
if you look up the Bubblebubs site, they have info on MCN adn CHILDCARE, links to various state's legisation (the Children's Services Act). Between that and the "what is in a disposable?" link at the Nurture Nappies site, i felt quite confident, when the time came to approach a CCC (i wanted them to use MCN on bilby).
I am having trouble with the WAHMNAPS site, it's like i only get to see half the text. I bet your going LIVE last night went OFF Maz! such pretties!
PINKPALACE
i used cloth breastpads solidly for eight months - was a milk leaking machine i was! I did used some that had PUL on the outer and microfleece on the inner, Mazzies weren't available back then.
i had a go at sewing them on the overlocker - all i did was WASTE heaps of fabric. I have had success with flongies, bumjumpers, inserts, trifolds, and a small amount of pocket MCN, but the breastpads just had me swearing at the machine and having to throw the "results" in the bin!
KATONES - sometimes photography on the internet can be misrepresentative of what products really look like in real life. Itti Bittis are actually very trim. If you saw a photo of the itti bitti NEXT TO other mcn products, that would be obvious to you. You might have only seen them BY THEMSELVES. so nothing to give you a sense of proportion.
for example, on the Nappycino site and other places, sometimes people will post a phto of their stash (or many photos!!!! LOL) and in THOSE pics, you will see IB side by side with other brands.
another way around it, is to go to real life nappy meetups (ozclothnappies and nappycino) and see them when people bring along their stash to show.
there is an IB trial pack.
CHRISTY - have you used an itti bitti boo before (fitted nappy). THey are very good.
MAZ - so are both Mat and VY rashing up to stay dry fabrics? I'm up to the stage where we're MAINLY using
- - natural fibre inners + wool outers for home, and using
- - natural fibre inner PUL pockets for childcare and using
- - synthetic fabric inner pockets for outings, with a flannelette liner laid inside
- - synthetic fabric inner night nappies
With this combo, we're staying rash free
The double layer of flannelette, sewn as liners, is working really well - that meant i could keep our fave synthetic fabric MCN thank goodness!
Some of our fitteds, that HAD stay dry topped boosters, i have made our own boosters, with cotton velour as the topper - so i have "converted" them to make them friendly to sensitive skin. I could imagine you doing this (in your spare time - RIGHT!!!), but with MINKEE!
WOTBB: cute tooshies bamboo delight that i dyed PURPLE with mermaid longies, so cute!
