Mazaroo!! That is AWFUL! I know she was a bit evil...but still....poor lady.
Got my little squirt today - wooohooo! Can't wait for DH to put it in...hope he knows how to do it!
Nelle - I was actually surprised how quickly my IBs dried too, they're the only AIOs I've got so wasn't sure how they'd go. Just washed them and put them out again actually. Good to know the absorbency will get better with more washes, was a bit miffed at our first test run!
We are heading back for a holiday in just over 10mths & CANT WAIT!!!! but only for 4 wks!!!
Yeah Indah kisses & punches & pushes Zy... He just laughs at her!!!
Willow, don't be too discouraged, when Riv was about 9 months, he wee'd through so many nappies, nappies that are fine on him now! I think it's a stage they go through.
Yay Tracey, you must be looking forward to that so much!
Thanks Ness!
I neeeed fluffy mail this week! I need something to put me in a good mood! My car is being rebuilt coz the cam belt broke last night, so they basically have to rebuild my engine!!! The dealership should have replaced it before we bought it too so my dad is fighting with them to get the price reduced. I also have to renew my RAA membership and get my car serviced regularly. DH's car is due for a sevice soon so I will book that in ASAP and if I have to I can ask dad if we can pay that back too. FFS why me? why cant we get out of this mess?!?!?!?! and we have 6 weeks to find a house too!!! I am very upset!!
But at least I have all the nappies clean! We did not use any sposies all weekend!
:hug::hug: Ali hope things start to improve soon.
I have all my nappies in the dryer at the moment will then start to sort them am going to sell my Cute tooshies dont really like them and one still has the tags on, then will buy a good night nappy I think and get rid of my BBB and covers as I have enough AIO's for during the day.
WOHB.......still rollicking rascal cars nappy.
I have SORE TEETH!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhh
Sammi helped me spend my voucher....a starbunz bessie the cow cover and a swaddlebee's booster
oh got my fluffy mail - 3 IB's, one white, one blue and the 3rd in lagoon minkee...nioce!!!!!
can someone please tell Vyolett that Mateauz isnt a trampoline.....please
oh Ali honey.....good things have gotta start rolling for you soon
ETA - Mel you got it!!! woo hoo (the cars nappy that is)
Why do you have sore teeth Maz?????
I dont know Janie...been soree since we stopped BFing :( and my gums have been bleeding at the back alot to...killing me
Mazp sounds like gingavitis (sp)
Gud- chasing it up for you now if you could re email me your postal addies so i can double check them
Vyolett, STOP JUMPING ON YOUR BROTHER!!!!!!
Maz, time to see the dentist hun.
Thanks girls. The mechanic has accepted some fault because they shouldn't have signed off on the 90,000km service b4 we bought it without replacing the belt that snapped, which has bent some of the valves. so basically we r getting a reconditioned engine and they are paying for some of it because it is their fault it broke. We havent had it serviced regularly though because we couldnt afford it so now we have to wear some of the cost from voiding the warranty, but at least we dont have to pay the whole lot. we are trying to get them down to paying half. whick will mean we have to pay $1300! money we dont really have and will have to pay my dad back for. but it could be way worse. it could be our only car!
Gud, I use the earths choice liquid. I start the machine, pour in the liquid and once it has bubbled up I add the washing. My machine will fill up and do everything except parts that include drainage with the lid up though so I can do it all without having to shut the lid.
Maz I didn't know you had stopped BFing?
I got my care package from MAz today, it had some baby legs & a BBH wet bag (HOLY MOLY that thing is massive!)
Some cute bibs & socks for Mr Doodle & Also a cute meow rattle. LOL Its a cat face But Isla has claimed it. She likes her Meow's.
Plus a STACK of NB boy clothes! I honeslty think Mr Doodle is set!
Afternoon ladies...
no fluffy mail here :( how sad...
Maz if you do want to sell you BBH (i think thats what you mentioned before) magic-alls give me a yell :D
still waiting on my BBH covers....
what do people find best in a wet bag, zipper, snap or drawstring closure?
Teh BBH one reallt seems to big to be practical as a every day wet bag. I was thinking of looking for something else. Just wanted to know what poeple found wokred well for them or if you prefered a perticular closure...
FJ - I've got a jam tots one, good size, zip closure. I think that's best to keep the smell contained IMO. I'm looking at getting a bigger one though, just for when DS is at MIL's place when I go back to work. I don't know if the jam tots will hold a whole day's worth of nappies.
FJ.......I have 2 a drawstring one and a BBH zip one I only got the BBH today so havent tested it but my drawstring one is the perfect size for Kindy to put about 3/4 nappies in.
I should add that the drawstring one is one of those $6 -$8 type ones the schools sell as swimming bags and libary bags.
FJ - I like the zips on the wet bags, with they runny NB poo I think its less likely to leak through the opening, even though its probly extremely rare for that to happen
yeah I think the BBH one will be handy come NB time when I am out but I only change Isla once maybe twice when we are out. So I don't need so much space. Folded up the wet bag would take up more space the a nappy LOL.
Might hunt out a few single trip wet bags or something.
tracey you sure do breed good looking kids!!! maddi must be fetting close to high school!!
i got fluffy mail!! my ittis!!!
FJ I have a few of the peapod single bags if you want them they are yours let me know.
Ali - :hug: bloody cars... nothin' but trouble if you ask me! Hope your fortunes are turned around soon...
I've got a tots bots wetbag too - but have never really put it to the test so I can't vouch for it yet!
Liam's started a new trick - let's see how quickly I can stick my hand in my doodies before Mum gets a chance to clean it up! I swear, it's like a race! And I have to try to put the dirty nappy somewhere he can't kick it and get it all over his foot as well...
The games we play, huh?
I'm getting the 'itch' to buy more nappies... ;) Will be shopping after Wednesday's appt for Neo-Natal follow up (which I hope will give me his current weight & length).
I'm just about ready to try to make a soaker - just have to find a good pattern, but I'll visit the nanna knitters thread for that discussion ;)
WOHB - Greenkids 'helicopters'...
Hello ladies, thought I would stick my head in with a question...we are going swimming for the first time next week and I was wondering what kind of MCN swim nappy would be best? DS is still only little and I don't think I could buy anything online in time so until I can buy a good MCN swim nappy it will be whatever I can get at the supermarket.
At the moment I am still getting used to regular MCN, we have been using BBH Magic-Alls, the newborn size is fitting him really well, the bamboo one sized ones are a bit bulky so haven't used those much yet.
I feel like I am starting to get in the swing of things with being a new mum and will be looking at upping my stash very soon :)
Maybe I need to do some more shopping... its stressful with two kids ;)
Anyone know how many prunes you need to eat before thing loosen up in your system? I'm on codeine for my back pain (without it I can't move) and think I just ripped myself a new one... IYKWIM? Ouch!!!
WOAB: Not sure cos DH dressed him, but he said he used a snappi so my guess is mandy mac..
WOMB: Magicall (soon to be sposie cos she has nappy rash... :()
Mel.......have you tried drinking a glass of prune juice.
I am not buying no more nappies for a while I have 48 with another 9 comming in the mail.
just resorted them and they dont even all fir into his drawers.
WOHB........BBB and wool cover
Gudism - drink pear juice and eat prunes and at least 2-3 L of h20 this should do the trick within about 24 hrs!
laranna - i have used the little swimmer disposables and a swim nappy i bought from Bigw. it ws fine (dd was 6 months at this stage and out grown) - i would send it to you but it is bright pink lol.
Melham - i am the same. I just realised i know have over 60 nappies ouch! and 20 prefolds! i cant fit them anywhere!
WOHB - nuthin!!! in the bath with DH
Another pear juice fan here love. :hug: I drank it like mad after the birth in anticipation of problems - none! (til I ran out of pear juice :P)
Laranna, I think I've seen swim nappies at most of the nappy department stores online, like Wee Wuns, Nurture Nappies, Darlings Downunder...and a few others.
Larranna- you can always pay that extra $2 and get express post.
laranna - I too use the higgies disposable swimmers. I rinse them out in cold water after each use, and re-use. Nina's been swimming since she was 6 months old, and I've never had to buy another pack, only when she needed the next size up.
Well Nina has decided that she prefers wearing undies lately, so I'm getting the opportunity to use her bbb on Emily more, and they're starting to fit a lot better. I still prefer the itti bittis on Emily, but the bbb aren't too bad. I suppose the fatter she gets, the better they'll fit.
Emily has a nasty rash on her face ATM. She's had a reaction to the sunscreen we used, and her face is peeling big time. Dr has prescribed pretty strong ointment & painkillers for her. Poor chicken.
WOEB: bbh & wool cover
WONB: nothing, about to have a shower
Laranna, i use the ones from big w or kmart. If you do use the disposable ones, and they are not dirty, you can re-use them, they dont hold wee.
Thanks, I'll pick up some pear juice tomorrow.
DD has nappy rash - already!!!!! Grrrr.... has anyone used more natural stuff on their newborns bums so they can stay in MCN? Otherwise I'll just use bepanthen and sposie on her. I have some natural stuff that you can use with MCN, but unsure as to how it will be with her skin...
WOAB: GNST & Longies
WOMB: Magicall
Larana- i just bought a swim nappy from Darlings Downunder, it was posted the same day and arrived the next. Not even express, just excellent service. I got a Happy Baby one, it is neoprene and the only one allowed in UK swimming lesson pools, so figured it must be good. ;)
ETA- I use Moogoo soothing cream with MCN with no probs mel, and apparently all natural. ;)
Gudism
I use household cornflour on DD's bum with the mcns and it works well to get rid of the dampness.
If it gets red... i cover thick in bepathen and with a mf liner and it is gone by the next morning
yep as PP said id use the bepathan an dliner or teh simmons pawpaw cream!
I don't have any liners :(
Or moogoo.Or cornflour
PMSL.... ahhh yeah I'm a GREAT mother.... lol
I made a comment in my post FJ :hug::
just use a sposie!! no harm done!!
Fj - I told you i loved them on MSN :( Sorry they look great!!!
:hug: FJ I miss things in this thread all the time I hope the tears settle.
I go to work & you girls go through 4 pages :o!
I did too FJ!!
me too :redface: sorry darl!!
aw now I feel like a silly wally head!
I had a shocking morning with Evan this morning which was escalated by a horrid night with Isla. So I was tired & hormonal & then the fight with Evan first thing in the morning just set me off.
I missed those who posted about my pinni dresses. Im sorry I said that I was over looked when obviously I wasn't.
I really should go to bed now but I just need some time to unwind first. My eye balls hurt from being tired & from crying earlier in the day. I hate getting so upset, but when I am tired I can't hold it back. Im so true to my star sign, Im a cancer. A crab all the way, hard on the outside but warm gooey chocolate & marshmallow soft on the inside. I usually hide it well, but not when I am tired.
I reckon in the 12 years DH & I have been together he can probably count the number of times I have openly cried in front of him on both hands.
Im tough I tell ya tough!!!
Ok, enough of that.
I was saying to Maz earlier today that Isla hadn't poo'd for a few days so I am scared of what I am in for. Well she let it go while on the school pick up run & OMG it was so GROSS! Thankfully well contained in the Iish fly she had on but holy cow it stunk! I swear a little girl should not be able to do that!
So my emergency stash in the car came in handy. I have 2 swaddle bee pockets in the under seat compartment for when I forget the nappy bag. Isla could have waited till we got home before I changed her but no way I would want to have sat in that for the trip home so I changed her in the car. Then had to wind the windows down because the car stank so much LOL. Just have to remember to put the nappy back once its clean & dry.
Anyone else notice how terrible the scented spray on lanoline smells when mixed with night time wee or poo? I have found when Isla wears the longies to bed or the time she did a poo in the nappy while wearing the longies that the mix og the scented smell (blueberry) & the wee smell is a oh so gross mix LOL. Thankfully after airing out they are ok. But ew regretted sticking my nose up against them that day LOL!
Ok, off to do some knitting I think. I want to get these longies donw before winter is over LOL
WOHB - Lotus Night nappy & a Shannon soaker.
