Cloth Nappies #145

[~Raven~]

Dunno Mel

I'm inclined to think a one off won't do any harm to it. Email itti and ask what they think!

[Arimeh]

ooh good idea. thanks!

i know it isnt an itti.
BUt i have let DD swim in the ocean with her BG on?
And it is fine

I couldn't be bothered with swim nappies. We hardly ever go tot he pools or a place youcan swim, If we did I would just put an old fitted on who ever it was that needed a nappy. I would say Isla but chances of us goign swimming while she still needs a nappy are very slim.

We bought some swim nappies from Kmart that were just like a pull up speedo really when Matilda was young and Jovie wears them under her swimmers. Bit bulky but hey... it lets the wee out but holds poo in. I've never had a sausage poo in the pool so it would be horrid to change after if they did, but I guess I just assume we would be jumping in a shower soon after anyway... we'll be moving 5 minutes from the beach so we'll have to get used to it soon

See FJ - you'd have to come stay for a day or so with your littles in summer!! Spend time at the beach with us.

WOHB: I can't remember the name of it, but a beautiful fitted rainbow that maz gave me!

eta:

Christy - do you get frizzy dry flyaway hair? what can you use that is paraben free for that? the only thing i've found that works is Fructis milk smoother or somesuch - and it has PARABENS in it!!!

Gigi... I always have fizzy dry hair.... I have some Aveda product my Mum bought me that is called "Be Curly" that is wonderful and stops it, but its like $45 here in Australia, and thats like 2 nappies!!! ATM I use MOP c-system shampoo & conditioner once a week in the shower with an alchemy mask. Than for my after product... I use Organic Instinct Natural baby conditioner (really I do!!!) as a leave in product daily.... if we are going somewhere noice I use mop c-system curl defining cream but I don't like it... when it runs out I'll venture out in my search of a "good" product for frizzy hair!

Cherie told me about no-pooing and its using vinegar and bicarb?? Or something like that for hair... I have yet to try it. Too scared, but she has curly hair & has sworn by it.

Mel- Lu swam in the ocean in an itti once and it is fine, just rinsed it well.

I seem to be converting friends left and right at the moment, not even trying, they just like the look of Lu's nappies! Noice.

Maz- i have a happy baby swim nappy. Great for pootainment. Made of a thin wetsuit material. Not as cute as some but very functional. Got it from DDU, check em out.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUELLA!!! (Falguni's DD)
and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNIKA for tomorrow (Beatrix' DD)

i seem to have read that quite a few clothies, put their bubs in the pool with covers or pocket nappies (without the inserts in) on to swim.

Did you get the Splashabouts Ange? they look a great design

Raven, there was something in the Alchemist shampoo that didn't agree with me either, forget what it was now. Christy, i found parabens and perfume mentioned in the list of ingreadients, of a Aveda hair product i bought, i was so surprised. I had been told they were a paraben free company.

Raven, my dh LOVES any excuse to use the LS!!! PMSL. i swear he thinks it a water toy, don't care, just glad he uses it. He agrees with me, that if we went on a holiday, LS would get packed too!!!

Maz - does vy go in the potty or the toilet? Can she take off her own nappy, to go? or is she getting lots of nakey time, so she can go when she wants (without having to struggle with clothing/nappies?) And if you do nakey time, how does that work? i am petrified if i give nakey time (free rein over the unit), bilbs will poo in the sofa, the carpet, the bookshelf, in the lego, all sorts of places that would be an absolute NIGHTMARE to clean up.
Did you wait until Vy was happy to sit on the potty/loo?
i am so puzzled about TT-ing (and a bit anxious, can you tell???).

Nappy Hunt will finish soon, but i'm not panicking this time, to get to the next level. I passed one level, that will have to do for now, sick of cryptic clues that i don't get. or sites with no starting clue on the home page. don't have the time to click on every link they have on their site. the ones i got, were fun though.

next stop on the MCN calendar, Reusable Nappy Week 9 - 13th October. check out modernclothnappies website to see which events are planned for your city/area.

WOTBB: dragonflymagik all in two night napster with rainbow legwarmers and booties - i hope tiny bilby dreams of being a FlashDancer.
