does anyone else wash their nappies with other items??
PP, I wash my nappies with everything a snormal. No fancy loads here. I even washed a heap of IB's d'lish with the towels yesterday.
Ange, you should have time to save as I have none left atm & wont be doing any more till after Christmas probably with the baby being so close to due etc.
I will be closing the store soon too. Going on "maternity leave" LOL
Isla woke last night screaming & hurting & ouching. I got her up we had a breastfeed & then I took her lotus NN off & her poor fanny was red as.
So I lathered like a teaspoon of pawpaw on it, put her into a WC NN & back to bed. All night I was thinking thats it, she can just do sposies at night till she toilet trains. But this morning the inch of pawpaw seems to have helped alot!
WOHB - nothing at all
:redface: i have 9 itti d'lish and 2 boo's.
Saving my pennies for FJ newborns now. ;)
Great to hear the little-un is still a girl sammi.
PP- if nappies arn't too rank i do a rinse cycle then chuck in Lu's clothes. I got this top off Jols so that's two of us that do it! ;)
SOooooo over runny crap. Loving flushable liners ATM.
Due in March FJ, so fingers crossed you feel up to sewing! ;) If not i'll have to stalk some second hand ones. :)
WOHB? ummmm itti i think.
I'm always up to sewing LOL, its more the cost of Bamboo. Im all out of that. Have **** loads of the rest of the material I need, just no bamboo & no money LOL
Well in Feb, i'll have to buy the bamboo and send it too ya! ;) Like buying on consignment. :)
where is a cheap place to buy flushable liners?
I got nurture nappies ones online. Not that cheap, but i cut them in half. (a tip from Sammi ;) )So i get twice as many for the price.
Ok, this is a dumb question to ask you lot but anyway....
Thinking I need a few more nappies after all - back at work 2 days a week and really want DS in cloth at MILs but finding it a bit tricky with the washing etc. Our everyday stash is:
8 or 10 BumGs, can't remember
2 d'lish
2 baby kangas
I also have a few fitteds but am using these at night and pockets/AIOs are just easier to send to MILs.
We generally have 2 days worth of nappies before we run out and have to wash again. So for example if I don't wash on a wednesday, don't get time on a thurs after work then by fri we're outta nappies and I really want to avoid sposies while he's at MILs.
Thinking of getting 2 or 3 more d'lish what do you think?? He'll is very very likely our last bub (:() so not sure if I should be buying more when they aren't going to get all that much use...maybe I should just make sure I wash on a wednesday...but I do have a few friends now who use cloth, could always sell them on...
OK, you've convinced me!! LOL!
I should also pull my finger out and sell all the nappies and covers he's grown out of on BFB...been meaning to do that for months...
Willow he is 11 months so I reccon you'd get the use out of them if you get larges. You'd have to buy sposies for the day you wash so that could add up to more if he doesn't TT till he's 2 1/2 or so.
You could always get some off B4B or ebay. They do pop up from time to time.
Sam he's in larges already, wouldn't even consider medium for him.
Will have a good look at our stash over the weekend and then decide I think.
oooohhhh i just got fluffy mail :D am sooo in love with the royal blue itti and the Jade :) am now waiting on the midnight and a chocolate to arrive :D
Kat - im gonna tease ya babe...guess who's helping IB at the Melbourne expo on sunday ;)
Willow - Id do what Sammi says to babe...go to B4B and get some second hand nappies
ahhhhh Vy is crying again!! dame it!
Maz, make sure you pocket me some freebys ;)
awww Maz NO fair... *stamps my feet
i only want.... a RED, YELLOW & IVORY then thats all the colours (except for the girly colours which isn't happening)
need to save some more $$$$$
Aw wow Maz, yay for you....! Uh, I mean.... whoever do you mean? ;)
That's a great idea Ange/Sammi about cutting the liners in half... I think I need to get some flushable liners too.
i have spied some flushable liners and at what i think is a good price for a 50 pack.... hmmmm do i buy them???
I bought some liners from big w yesterday, not flushable but they are helping heaps, they look like chux cloths LOL, Big enought cut in half so I get double my moneys worth.
I took ISla to the GP yesterday as she has runny gooy eyes. While I was there I showed her the nappy rash spot. she said to get some fungle cream witht he steriod in it.
I went to get it but I didn't have enough cash on me so put it back. Glad now as I have been lathering it up in pawpaw ointment when she has a nappy on & its healing. Its looking heaps better today. Sot hat teamed with using the potty while at home its on the mend finally.
She is good with the potty. She knows whats it for etc. But I still need to take her to sit. So its still me reading her signs of needing, which she is pretty obvious with. She walks around with nothingbut a tshirt on with her legs sort of crossed. Put her on the potty & she wees. She has taken her self a few times & has peed on the floor twice. Oh & once outside when I put her int he boys undies so I could grab the washing with her outside & know she wouldn't get dirty up her wee wee, And she peed in them LOL.
I think she thinks anything on that area means she can just wee. I dare say she will TT well. But will proabbly have a set back once the baby comes as its harder to watch her. But having floor boards might help this time.
Im in nesting mode, last night I pulled the door of the cupboard & pulled out the change table & put the draws in its place. Then I put the door back on, then took it off again & put things back the way they were LOL.
I just sorted out all the little clothes & put them under the change table & now I am trying to work out the best set up for the nappies. I need more draws LOL.
i have been using no flushables when out and about. Cheapo ones that i just throw in the bins at the shops (after dicarding the poo in the loo).. and fleece at home.
Still not sure to get the flushables yet.
Fj - hard to sort the nappies huh!
I have all my prefolds in a nappy stacker hanign under the shelf where the nappies are
then have the mcns in sperate piles according the size.
And covers on the bench.
trying to make it simple for DH - i confused him the other day when i found a size SML pul on dd over her BBB... lol he grabed the wrong pile
ill put up a photo in a sec to show
