Cloth Nappies #142

[~Raven~]

Avoid adding vinegar to washes containing PUL nappies as this has been known to degrade the waterproof laminate.
THought i'd put that here too, as every so often people ask about vinegar and washing MCN>

That's why I advocate the dishwashing detergent strip wash method!

Maz honey it's good to know that I'm not the only one who's little darlings play up when I'm on the phone only to show no interest in me seconds after I hang it up

Suse hope Euan let you have a full night of slumber

Ali get cracking with the knitting so you have some spares They shouldn't take too long to dry if you roll them up in a towel sausage style and squeeze the water out. I stand on it and then repeat in a second towel then let them dry flat somewhere reasonably warm. Should only take a day or two.

QM poor little pumpkin Hope her butt is peachy again quickly.

Ness hope the dryer repair isn't too exxy!

A bit of excitement for me Mason has FINALLY been having some dry nights! Not every night but 4 so far this week and he did 3 in a row. He's rather pleased with himself too. And just when I was going to try him in cloth again (he refuses to wear cloth, takes them off).

WOHB BBB and Shannon longies.

Question - how do you stop the backspray from the little squirt hitting your face, leg, arm or toilet seat (and then the wall...) I only press down halfway and I have the nappy IN the toilet and we can't release any more water pressure - already takes half an hour to fill the cistern again!!!

And whoever thinks sposies are better than cloth cos they don't leak are sorely mistaken... we had a blow out by little miss in a sposie!!!!!!!!!! who wouda thunk it...

Why doesn't the whole world use cloth.... stumps me!!!



WOAB: BBH & longies (still haven't changed him out of his jarmies)
WOMB: Some WAHM number and motherease cover

ETA: Congrats to Mason!!!

Gigi - I was thinking the same thing re suse's av pic...but was to shy to say anything
oh and have beenthinking...maybe we need to start a mcn thread called MCN and the older child. then we could help others with bigger kids IFYKWIM

Suse - dont know about loving the camera...it was a one in a million with her...I think she is over her mama taking so many pics of her.

Hello everone else Mauws all

On a different note...mateauz is rolling EVERYWERE now...we caught him trying to pull himself up on the laundry basket...bit unco looking but he was trying.

BBL need to drop B1 and B2 of at school

ETA -oh dont tell me that Mel...im getting one and cant even control the daem gardern hose. I can see a certain maz covered in poo soon

[1MOREPLZ]

[Arimeh]

Maz... I'm sure its only cos I'm a total unco.....

QM - I hope her rash clears up... I hate nappy rash

I really have to go shopping for more nappies.. .nearly ready to sell my other ones.

Ahh well best be off... Aricyn is putting strawberry juice over everything and someone else wants to be rocked to sleep.... first day with two of them on my own... arghhhh...

Just a quick one...

Ali - I got a lovelybums wool cover from nurturenappies and have had to wash it 3 times (because of poo leakage from his night nappy which I just discovered is a size too big for him) and I found that once I roll it in a towel and hang it in the loungeroom to dry overnight - it's ready by the next night.

Was only $32 too... bargain I say!

I have a mantra: BRING ON SUMMER... having a heck of a time drying nappies (and I absolutely refuse to put them in the dryer for 3 hours every time I wash...) so much so that we're running down to the last nappy before the next ones are dry. Got fluffy mail on the way though so hopefully I'll have some more lee-way.

WOHB - BBB & PUL (all I had left!)

[Kazbah]

woohooo, back from holidays, could only take 3 MCN with me so used sposies, ahhh, how nice was it yesterday deciding which nappy to use!!!!!!

And last night, having him in his snoozywun, and not waking at 3am for a clean nappy

I've missed waaaaaay too much to catch up on in 3 weeks!

WoHB - a very wet BBH with PUL BBH cover (about to be a BBB with wool cover for his nap)

[PinkPalace]

hi girls!
well i have just been given a bubblebub in small for #2 and wooooohoo it is gorgeous! Why have i not seen these b4

Gudism - re: wool - i use 12 ply (i know different thread but you get that)... and you will have to let your toliet fill for an hour lol... it is the best way to reduce the spray back and i also hold the nossle practically touching the nappy!
