Oh why oh why is it that as soon as I put the boy into a bamboo boosted bum so that it will last through a nap, he poos? How do they know? Is it just the silky softness of bamboo velour that makes them think, oooh yeah, I'd like to poo in that? WHY???????

Poor little guy has canines coming through (he's decided to skip the top front teeth apparently), so we are not a happy house. After a night of waking every two hours on Friday, I gave him panadol last night, he woke at four after going down at midnight and woke screaming every time I tried to put him into the cot. I don't think anyone within a vicinity of five hundred metres got any sleep last night...

FJ - I've heard of people putting boosters in the dishwasher. I've got to do my BumG ones - they are grey from panadol. But I don't care because once they're stuffed, no-one can see them.

Gudi - is it actual poo or just stains? Do they go white when dried in the sun?

WOHB: sposie, butt cream.
