Cloth Nappies #145

[Mum2SweetCs]

Hello ladies,

Man this GDUNH is giving me a headache! Lots of fun though and frustration!!! LOL

Anyway, just wanted to drop by and say HELLO!

Can't wait for my nappies to arrive and yes, i just ordered some additional itti bitti to try too.

Great discounts if you're a GDUNH member, if only I knew before I made my purchases.

Also, am a bit disappointed in the ebay BBH's (purchased 3), should have just paid extra $3 to get the ones from their website which are the pocket ones and come with free bamboo booster.

Thats my rant for the day, back to hunting for that ICON!

Have a nice one ladies.

oooohhhhh i got my BBH fitted bamboo.. my god it looks HUGE!!!!!!

[PinkPalace]

when you fold it down correctly and take the long insert out they arent that big
but yes i think you will be using prefolds first!

[Arimeh]

Yeah Kat I've only just started to use mine now on both the kids. DD is almost 5kg now.

**** Fiona....im holding my nipples in pain. shiat! which reminds me I found those covers for you....must send them before the baby expo (maz is predicting that Fiona will have Mr FG that weekend)

I LVOE my BBH Kat...they didnt fit Mateauz until he was 3 months old but then he was a small fry

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for all of the advice - it worked We have been back on the clothies without leakage so I am one happy mummy who is now on the lookout for additions to the stash

PMSL FJ. It'll just make the package easier to open!

Gigi, last night E had a Cute Tooshies with the trifold and booster, plus a Motherease bamboo terry booster (3 layers I think) on the inside and a bamboo fleece (2 layers) booster on the outside. The outer was wet (but could have been a lot wetter) and the inside of the wool soaker was just barely damp. Without the outer booster the inside of the soaker was quite damp, but not enough to leak. Some nights he's weeier (yes, that's a real word) than others, it's hard to tell so I just like to make sure - lol.

Oh, I had my little heffalump weighed and measured today - he's just over 10 kg and 77 humungous centimetres tall. I think I'm going to have to get new nappies soon, none of my mediums will fit much longer. I want a little baby that doesn't grow out of stuff so quickly. He's growing up way too fast. He's just started standing up without support, he'll be walking before I know it.

WOHB: hopefully the last nature babycare sposie and sudocream, he's had a nasty red patch which is proving a little persistent. I want to put cloth back on his bum.

you know maz, i am thinking more & more you are right. Will see what they think tomorrow at my MW appointment but stomach is rock hard. Not contraction hard, just no room hard.

Coolies on the extra NB size covers. I wash all my PUL & even fleece covers after each use with Isla, her Wee holds on to them & they stink so need to be. I just can't see the 4 I have being enough for the baby.

I was trying to do some sewing earlier, had another stressful day (I have post inthe PM section) for those with out access to that bit, let me just say centerlink! Need I say more.
Anyway I made another attempt at an AIO, its ok, but Im not 100% happy with it still. Second NB attempt. But Im not using bamboo or hemp, just sherpa & microfibre. So no big loss if they are crap.

I was trying a PUL cover with FOE just now but FOE is so fiddly & the kids were just too quite so I got up to see what they were doing & they were in DH's tool box AGAIN! They are so sneaky, even Glenn was hiding the measuring tape under his shirt! Little rat bags. So I will sit with the FOE another time.

Isla seems over what ever was causing her to rash up with the Itti's. Dunno what was going on but it has happened again so all is sweet.

Oh well back to tiding the house for the 10th time today.

ROFL FJ be aware of the quiet kids! Isla knows what not to bite by the sounds of it

Katones I got BBB's when C was 8 weeks but I'm sure they would have fitted him sooner than that. Depends on the build of bub but they fold down quite small which is what makes them so good. Caleb still wears those same ones!

Suse get some flushable liners! I swear by them

Michelle glad you found a solution

We've just been in the babies room TRYING to get it sorted. DH was going off crook about the number of nappies I have but when he realised that they won't ALL fit straight away as there are NB, SML & MED sized and I separated them into piles, he calmed down somewhat. He also found some dot minky that I got from spotters but hid in the wardrobe a few months ago and I was mocked but I retaliated and reminded him about the three steering coloumns under the pergola

sam i think trev should just give up! you have heaps of comebacks for him, with all his car stuff !!

FJ

michelle glad the nappies are doing better, look at the ittibitti snap in's, awesome nappies!

suse 10kg!! sophie is 11.4kg at 2! hehehe healthy booby boy!! just how he should be!!

wohb a wet itti!

[suse]

Sam, I have flushable liners, but no matter what I do they always end up bunched up and the cream slathered all over the nappy, after strip washing last week my BumGs I don't want to do it again! And if I use microfleece on a stay-dry innered nappy like a Bum G I invariably get that 'double stay dry' effect where the wee just runs out the leg. So I use microfleece on my fitteds, but they are all on the line at the moment.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could use flannelette on the BumGs? Would that work? Might make me some flanny liners and see.

Jols, I don't know how we grew one so big, I really can't figure it out. Doesn't run in the family, that's for sure. But I really want to take Euan back to the silly MCHN who told me that I had a low supply and that he was failing to thrive and I should comp feed, and tell her that obviously I have a low supply, just look at him... Thank goodness that I didn't listen to her. (Sorry, that was a bit of a rant there...)

WOHB: Blueberry - yay, no more sposies!!!

[christy]

Soooooo Swap??? Anyone going to organise one? I've got a few BBB's... or 10

[MummyTummy]

Hey! Me again!

Just looking at my stash and thinking about how many more nappies I need to get Jett in to cloth FT. Just wanted to ask you opinion on where I should go from here. I like the trim fitting AIO/AI2 or pocket nappies. So I think sized nappies are a better option, and am loving the IB d'lish naps. I also don't mind Thirsties AIO as they also have the pocket where I can stuff an extra booster and they are sized really well. Any other suggestions? Also bearing in mind that he is a fairly heavy wetter (I think, I have very limited experience!! )

Ooooo Im so proud! We are officially gonna have a little clothie bum rugrat! I bought a MCN in the dreaded PeaPods (figured it was only $20 bucks so I may as well try) and I LOVE them!!! I can't wait for Friday to buy more. Aiden's gonna have a funky bum
Sooo out of curiousity how many are recommended? Cz I don't wanna get heaps for him to grow out of em in like a month. They say up to 9kgs and Aiden's 6kg but hes a long baby is that an issue?? Thanks
