Cloth Nappies #142

[Gigi]

KAZBAH = where did you go on holiday? tell me! i need to vicariously pretend i went on a holiday. (it's been a long time between drinks lemme tell you).

COOKIE MONSTER - congrats on your six months goal!

LARANNA - many people change teh bub once they are wet or have done a poo, more like two hours than four. To me, four hours is more like when you are out and it's hard to find a place to change bubs, or you have "one of THOSE days". More freq changes also help with nappy rash issues. Sposies need less freq changing than MCN, cos of those blue crystals inside them (read the info page on the nurture nappies website to discover all about those crystals).

PINK - i feel like i could just BLINK, and your next post would say "look at the new woollie i just knitted!", you are a star knitter in my book! What does it cost to try the trial pack of soap nuts? $21 is a bit steep (in case they don't rock your world). I have heard of people washign their MCN in bicarb soda and water.

MELBEL - oh no! what a horrible pootasohpre - see, its so horrible i can't even spell it!!

whoever told me about the salt, thank ye thank ye, will go buy more salt and try that quick smart - so i need to SOAK the stuff already dyed in salt and COLD or HOT water in the laundry tub (or bucket)?

WOTBB: wot evah night nappy dh put on bilbs, actually, i think i left out the Sugarpeas combo for him to put on her after the bath, complete with the cutest little babylegwarmers. SHe's got this hacking dry cough, so waking up frequently. Apparently you can't medicate a dry cough until they're over two years old (??).

ANTHEIA - welcome. i think it depends how much your newborn sleeps. If they are awake and being changed two hourly (like mine was!), then normal nappies/prefolds were fine. If you are lucky to have a long sleeper, i would suggest absorbent day nappies (for older bubs) like
- cute tooshies bamboo delights fitted nappy (from 4kg onwards)
- itti bitti boo fitted nappies
- there are some nb sized bamboo nappies like on FIONA JILL at wahmnaps, and the LUSHIES at sustainablehempproducts.

with a newborn sized staccinator deluxe cover (the normal is for day, the deluxe is for night).

GUDISM - grrr to feeling sick, it's crappola. Hugs to you.

thanks for everyone putting me straight on the 13th - thank ye linewomen, ballgirls, EVERYONE LOL.
