QUEEN MABEL: how do you think i got the little bit of knowledge i have now? I asked MILLIONS of questions all thru pregnancy, then bilbs arrived and i had HEAPS more - and online people (Nelle, Maz, Raven etc on this forum) were soooo generous in teaching me. So now bilbs is older and i don't have so many questions (but still some!), i can return the favour "pay it forward" etc. That's what all us oldtimers are doing! I give the extra oldtimers a rest in typing out the same old same old, cos they took the time to type it all out for me when i needed it.
that was fun looking back at our old thread - when Tracey was around heaps (Zyon's mum) and Skye. and that was only a year ago!!!
Katones - sounds like Christy has BBB's - PM her?
Pssst Katones, there are some Itti's in the swap list already, i could tell you how i know, but then i would have to swear you to secrecy, and you're too far away to bribe me (with childslave free chocolate of course!!).
Pink - wow Ashley is certainly Miz Independence!!!
Suse - i meant to tell you, when we started using FLUSHABLE liners, we were using them on their lonesomes - and got the bunching you describe. Ever since we've been using the combination of flannellette liner AND flushable liner on top, the bunching has all but disappeared! So, one more thing to try, hope you have success with it like we have. i found this out by pure accident, but hell, if it works, why not?

WOTBB: Kester Kovers AIO cos dh lurves them, and no wing droop EVEN on a front snapper on our sidesnappin bilbster.
I am on a paraben-free crusade right now (tossing out any products that have parabens in the ingredients) and i was very pleased to discover that the Nature babycare wipes we use when out, do NOT have parabens in them. Yeh!
(Parabens are a preservative i have found in my foundation, moisturiser, deodorant, sunscreen, etc etc - all i have tossed in last week, slowly working out how to replace them with paraben free products.
i found paraben-free baby sunscreen at nurture nappies - yeh
Parabens can produce miscarriages, do produce skin irritations with many people!! and they are put in SKIN products!!!!)
Didn't need to toss my hair products, cos already using the Moo Goo natural stuff.
gee it's hard work to keep up with what IS and ISN"T safe!
must go and check if parabens are in our nappy rash creams
Mel, you should be safe, parabens aren't found under rocks. :P: They are not nice at all... SLS (sodium laureth sulfate) is another one. If you google Akin skincare or the purist company there's some really good info about what is bad and why.
Gigi, as always my love, you are Goddess-like in your clothy wisdom. I bow down to you...
Maz, I'm gonna PM you about the swap, but maybe not tonight, prolly tomorrow...

: adding a full stop
Ah yes Suse the SLS thing was what got us into the whole change in products. Its scary... I even go to an organic chemical free hairdresser!!! Oh what bigger cities can have
Kat - perhaps wait until bub is born and try out the ones that you have. Then if there is something that you dont like then you can discuss/search out the other mcn's around that might fix that problem? I am sure you have a heap already lol Did you get some orange BBB?
Well we tried something a little different last night with the nappy situation (not that we have had leak problems in a month or 2). We used a BBB with only 1 extra 3 layer bamboo insert (with the 2 that are already in there). and then had a large 3 layer microfibre with an outer of fleece on the outside (it was big enough to wrap the whole rise) between nappy and longies.
And that worked too!... yay!
I fixed that BG elastic and it has popped again.. imustnt have sewed it properly... now if only i had a good hour to sew all the things i need to before this bub arrives...
Sorted through all my nappies - ready for when #2 arrives,,,, wasnt going to take any sposies / mcn to the hospital... surely they will have flats? perhaps i should ask... might just take some snappis along ...
