Alioops! wow, that's HUGE news! moving states with two kids, WOW! all the best with the packing. travelling and setting up again in Townsville, sounds like a huge job. but exciting too, Townsville sounds lovely, coastal, great weather etc. But SA will miss you!

Jodie - how many rolls does Emily have on her legs? by four months, bilby had THREE massive rolls on each thigh - we got to the point where front closing nappies were just not cutting it for us, and got better results wiht side snappers. At 11 months old she crawled, the rolls started falling off, walking at 14 months, only one roll since then.

Beautrix - great news about your wonderful nurse today, how refreshing to have her make an assessment in context, instead of just being glued to The Chart. Great that she wants to help promote MCN too, perfect when Reusable Nappy Week will be here in October too.

they are the three sites i would be looking at for advocacy info.

FJ - your pinnies look wonderful on the website.

SUSE - your ramblings are terrific, please don't stay away. Wee output can go up and down. At the moment, bilby is wearing a sugarpeas combo for say, from 8pm - 2am - then she'll wake up for a feed, and unfortunately is in a stage of poo-ing at night, so another night nappy gets put on her around 2am. We boost the sugarpeas, inside the leaves of the prefold, bamboo booster.

I regard the sugarpeas cover as a night cover (due to the grade of MM fleece used), but the sugarpeas nappy insert is a day insert (going by the number of layers). To use it as a night insert, it needs to be heavily boosted. That's perfectly feasible when your bub is in the early to mid size weight range for that cover. I think if your bub was in the mid - end weight range of the cover, it might get tricky ala leg gape, then. At that stage, i would use it purely as a day nappy.

of course, you are not limited to using it as an AI2. you can always put that cover over a different fitted night nappy.

PINK - congrats on your new woolly, do we get to see a pic? good on you.

JANIE - NOW i remember about those bits for bots pockets! wow, i had forgotten all about that, seems like YEARS ago that happened LOL. That's great they're working well for you.

KAZBAH - multiple wetbags is easier for childcare i agree. Are they all cowprint??? LOL. yeee ha cowgirl!

NELLE - congrats on the empty laundry - that must have taken a huge effort to catch up, good on you.

GUDIE - Most of the time i feel such a failure with bilbs (our lack of bonding), that is why i coudl't stop bawling at the film of the opposite.

anyone know when ANge gets back?

I got "dolly mail" yesterday - two doll sized MCN's. and "surprise fluffy" mail, a WAHM sent me a purple outer/black inner, pocket for the bilbstar, i have no idea why she sent it, i kept thinking "this must be a mistake", but it's so lovely and there was a card attached to say it really was for us - i just about fell over.

WOTBB: whizz kidz nightz and bear bottoms pull up soaker (night weight). with Penaten on her butt cos the teething poo burns are happening atm. poor lovey.

See Suse, if they can put up with my mega rambles, YOUR little rambles are easy.
