Cloth Nappies #144

Was very impressed the night before last. DD had a BBB & PUL cover on & I fell asleep feeding her in bed so she was in it for 9 hours & no leaks or pooplosions!!!

Anyone have any recommendations for AIO/AI2 nappies? and covers?
We already have Magicalls, BumG, IB Snap-Ins, Haute Pocket
Covers we have Baby Beehinds PUL & Wool, Ish Fly PUL, Bummis

Or even nappy & cover combos? and if you've seen them on sale anywhere.

Would like to get more so I can have DD in MCN full-time. Im sick of folding flats & having to iron them coz we have no clothes line & they come out of the drier all crinkly & wont fold properly, then leak out the top if I dont iron them :rolleyes:

Hope everyone is well. Hope the melbournians are making use of this lovely nappy drying weather ;)

WOHB IB snap-in

Nice one FJ!! They look great!

Only nappy news is that Euan moved onto the largest setting on BumGs today! Boofer child. They're still a bit harry highpants on him, but he had a tradies crack on the middle setting.

WOHB: I don't know, DP changed him... OK, it's a BumG. Daddy's favourite.

WTG fiona...Id put an order in but I have a few to many longies a present

Ness - yay for the new phone- is it a good one??

I left my shopping at woolies last week & didn't realise until I went to put something under the pram & I was like "where are the groceries...?!", then, this morning, I got cash out at the house of target & almost walked off without it!!

---

Now thats sounds pregnant to me!

NOT Here...

Maybe Ali....

MAz- its a LG secret.. just new out... so pretty.. and a bonus scratch resitstant screen!!!

so what is everyone doing for Fathers day?

ExH is taking us all to the royal show? (dont worry i wont lose my phone :lol: )

Great Belly FJ!!! and nice Longies

Great belly shot FJ!
No pregnancy to report from here yet but we ARE trying!! *grin* But I won't know for at least another 2-3 weeks so I'll be sure to keep you all posted!

Feeling a bit better from the other night when I posted. Good thing for me is that DH doesn't hold grudges and wasn't cranky with me at all.

I was at a friend's surprise 50th today and was changing DS and when I asked if he wanted cloth or sposie on his bum he requested cloth! What a good boy he is!!

I do use sposies at night with him - simply can't afford much in the way of night nappies - hoping to fix that problem by the time a second one is his age.

Okay I MUST make myself go to bed reasonably early tonight - DS has been waking frequently again and it is wearing me down. Last night (because I was stupid and didn't go to bed until midnight) I got a whopping total of 3 hours of sleep - though this is in part also due to the fact that DH had ideas for interrupting my sleep when he FINALLY decided to come to bed at 3:30am and since we are TTC I did oblige him! *wink wink nudge nudge*

I hope all the Sydney-siders are surviving this rainy period - I have clothes hanging all over the house trying to dry!

WOHB: previously mentioned night sposie

FJ, Nice Belly shot!!!

Maz I hope that feeling you have is for me! AF is due Thursday.

We are about half way through packing up everything. I have 4 garbage bags of MY clothes going to the op shop tomorrow :o and a couple of suitcases of stuff to keep. so I have majorly downsized my wardrobe. we have gotten rid of heaps of crap from the whole house though.

I put the girls nappies into a suitcase so we could use the crates for other stuff. they have 1 and a bit suitcases worth of nappies.

I am worried that the move will make Sarah regress with the TT. She has been REALLY sooky lately so I think she knows there are big changes coming. I have been trying to make it sound like fun for her. I asked her on the way home from Ness's if she wanted to go on a plane, and she was saying and Emma, and Daddy and Mummy. I think she might think it is a bit of a let down though.

Should she wear nappies for the flight or let her wear knickers?

Sarah and I had fun with Ness and the girls. MJ has the Biggest smile! Em is sick though so she stayed home with Daddy.

Melham - that's wonderful that your friend will knit you all those longies! how perfect - you get longies and she gives up the fags. Give a yell if you are stuck with the lanolising bit.

FJ - belly shot and longies are both gorgeous.

Beautrix - enjoy the new phone, hope your day at the Royal Show goes well tomorrow. My jaw is STILL on the ground about the 71 icons! I have struggled to find FIVE!!! I found the one at the Cloth Pad SHop, but the icon went to an error page. I sent an email to the website but havne't gotten a reply yet.

KAZBAH - i wonder what name we can give to post from mama cloth shops - wot about "Mama mail"?

LIL PRECIOUS - sorry to hear about James' double ear infection and your nasty cold - it wears you down doesn't it?

SKITTLEBUB - is it you who wants ideas of nappies to buy your one month old? Are you getting pootainment for ALL styles of nappies at this stage, or just the fitteds with covers? Do you want to know about sales on for any of the MCN you already have? Cos Nurture Nappies have Bumgenius AIO's on sale right now. I wasn't sure if YOUR BG's were aio's or pockets.

NELLE - "only" going to have three? LOL, that doesn't sound like "only" to me! Good on you. Three sounds like a lovely number to me.

ALIOOPS - are you leaving your current accomodation Monday, or going to Townsville on Monday? wow, it's all happening for you. so exciting but i bet heaps of work too. I would use nappies on the plane, so if an accident happens, less embarrassment. I guess you have to expect some regression when kids are unsure of stuff. I bet the sun / outdoor lifestyle of where you're going , will be much more conducive to TT-ing anyhoo, it'll work out.

Glad you and the girls had a good time with B today, wish i could have been there too.

ME; due to the cold hard light of reality and money, bilby and i won't be coming to the Sept 13th meetup in Melbourne (big sigh), i really had my heart set on this, but i was obviously dreaming and being a bit unrealistic. I was sooooo looking forward to meeting heaps of you IRL, and your bubs. Thanks for the offers of airport pickups and accommodation, much appreciated, sad i can't take you up on them now.

Morning ladies!

If anyone sees rhinocerous nappys, pls let me know, DH is obsessed with the creatures.

WoHB - sposie (stupid abs!)

cut a little hole on the inside on the nappy were the 'tubing' section (top and bottom) for the elastic is and with a safety pin...feed elastic through from one end to the other....securely sew down the end and with the needle still down in the nappy pull the elastic until it wont stretch any more and sew until the end of the tubing...cut of remaining elastic and vola!

Im covered in minkee fluff!!!

WOMB - mottled IB
WOVB - Raw hide baby!!!

thanks Maz!
will give it a go:) ..

I used my longies last night (finally) with a bbb on and Cooper fell asleep in our bed, I was going to put him in his own bed but I fell asleep aswell, a Dh said he expected to get woken up when he wet the bed but thismorning his nappy was soaked but NO WET BED worked a treat . Using the longies tonight over his FJ nappy.

WOHB nothing yet is in the bath but soon to be FJ and longies :D

Yay Mel!!

I have your longies drying atm.. lanolised them last night... so hope to use this week! :)
I wonder how long your friend will take to give up smoking... :) hehe!

WOHB - NNN + LJ Longies

Gigi - we are getting pootainment from all her nappies, except for occasionally flats it ends up in the covers. Just looking for reccommendations for nappies coz Im sick of folding flats :lol:, I like AIOs/AI2s coz I dont have to muck around with a cover. Because she doesnt move much Im finding we get compression leaks from wool & fleece so PUL seems to be the way to go ATM

pP - how did yo go with the elastic???

has anyone noticed or heard about ANGE ?????? NB stash here she comes!!!

WOO HOOO congrats babe!

QUESTION....

I have started washing my nappies :( didn't really want to, but thought i had better start...

i did a warm wash with only 1/2 a cap of AM-O-LIN liquid for the first wash... (removed all liners/boosters etc.. and at the moment it is just outers...) will let these dry then do another 2/3 washes.. is this enough.. these are just my BBH PUL covers/magic-alls & Green bums
Am i doing this right???

Maz, that feeling u had the other day had better have been for me!! I got a faint :bfp: this monring, but I am not saying I am UTD until AF decides not to show her face on Thursday.

Em is sick :( she is going to the Dr at 3:50 for undoubtedly ANOTHER round of ABs. poor kid is becoming resistant to them!! I reckon it is ANOTHER chest infection :( Hopefully the humidity of the wet season will help her immune system!! steam out her lungs. So back to using liners on her nappies :(

DH is being sworn in as we speak. he will get logins for DHA today and then we will house hunt. I hope the perfect one is there as soon as we log in!!

WOEB Camo Cushie Tushies.
WOSB knickers

Katones
That should be ok to start off. you will notice they become more absorbant as you wash and use them anyhow.

Maz - i have washed and dried this morning. going to attempt the elastic today.. try to hand sew if not will get into the cupboard and drag the machine out lol so lazy

WOHB - BBB + PUL

PP are they new or second hand BG's? Contact the store you bought them from if they are new ones as they have a 6 month warranty!

nah they were preloved raven! :)
thanks anyhow.

Oh wow ANGE!!! congrats hun


you too ALI!!! sending you sticky vibes!

WOO HOO ALI!!!! stick bubba stick!!!!!! Not telling you if it was you or not!!!

Ness - got your OL worked out yet???

Heyyy Maz, thanks for the Angey heads up! :P Yay!

Hoooping that this is it for you guys Ali! :D

We're back in cloth, mostly because the bin is full. :P Stupid sposies. Better not fall behind with the washing again though hey.

That reminds me I have to call NN about my BumG too! It's a 12month warranty, not a 6 month I think, so even better for slack people like me!

I think I strained something in my hand from that bowling night, hurts a bit to type (as if that'll stop me though). The bowl that hurt me I got a strike though, so it's kinda cool, a trophy injury. :P

im in quoting mood today :)

:rofl: FJ

Maz - Im bringing Maddi & Mo & her Maddy

I don't get it FJ - whatever do you mean? *scratches head in innocent confusion* :rofl:

Congratulations to the newly pregnant, and good luck sticky vibes to the nearly pregnant!

My psychotic son is bashing his hammer (which makes a noise like smashing glass - he's just figured out how to get it to make noise and is doing it CONSTANTLY )on the coffee table, and growling and grunting at it. He's a weird one all right.

Um, nothing really nappy related, but I have some exciting baby wearing news, and seeing that half you lot are into that too I'll share! I just got my two new wraps today. They're Didymos silver waves which have just been dyed almost black by a WAHM in the US, and I'll be sending them off to a very special Aussie WAHM who is going to convert them to a wrap style mei-tai for me. And there'll be enough left over that I can make a ring sling too. So excited.
Here's a link to a piccie of me trying one out before it gets the chop.

WOHB: a stinky, probably very wet BumG, hoping it lasts a little longer until his bedtime. It's SOOOO hot and sticky up here. 28 degrees right now.

ewwww hot hey suse!! give me winter any day!! pics of wraps look awesome! E looks very comfy!! nice to put a face to a name too!
maz im coming bring miss sophie too!!

**** Sal..too many M's in your car :ROFL: thanks hon

Suse - looks great chicki..god your shorter then what I thought

Someone please come and finish cleaning this room of mine...ive lost my mojo and I really have to finish fixing the elastin in 3 IB's I have here....(I think I have an addiction to IB's)

Maz - whaddya mean woman - short???!!! :cryinglaugh: :rofl: I'm 5'7", that's not short is it? The shot was taken by my DP who's 6ft. It's a pretty cr*p shot though (although the wrap looks good), I cropped it so that you can't see that I'm in PJ pants (at 4 in the arvo - LOL), and I'm in desperate need of a haircut, getting it all cut off and dyed soon so I'll look like my avvy again!! YAY!

Short for me...sorry babe...im 5'10" *maz going away now*

How did I already know what Suse looks like? Must be all the stalking...what? I mean, erm, nothing!
Your photos always look so lush Suse! So green! And your hair's brown now...when you said you were going red, did you mean natural red or RED red? I've got Ran's blessing to go dark blue, so just gotta save save save. :D Wheeeee!
Anyway. The Didy looks great Suse! Who's MTing for you? Mel? How are you finding your Vat? I love the Tibet too...

Haha guys, nope not one of those injuries. :P
