OMG we have the worst nappy rash ever - coincidence that it happened after putting the cheap sposie on his butt yesterday?? I THINK NOT!!
Poor little bugger... put TONS of bepanthan on it last night - thanks to the lovely Kaz I can do that because of the liners.... poor little thing cries when I wipe his butt with wipes to clean off the poo... poor bugger...
DAMN YOU SPOSIES!!!!!!
Isn't bepanthan one you canuse with out liners?
Ah crap Mel...we had the same with Mateauz...one night of sposies cause of a blister on his ballbies and bang oh its everywere!!! Yes I use bepanthan on him and it doesnt effect his nappies :)
So good to have you back ALi..have to pm you about some hugalugs im after
On a different nappy related note...Vy fell asleep with a magical on last night..Jed put her to bed with it on and she was nearly still dry with it this morning. Its only boosted with one of my slim boosters but **** is this the end of nappies for her :(
Willow - I chuck everything in the one wash....normal cold wash it all but once a week I warm or hot wash it. i dont have time to sort out everything (Im very jealous Gigi) so with a little pray I close the lid and hope for the best.
doing a load now and had an aweful night (for the first time in months) with Mateauz..thenits off to target to buy a new bike for a little boy who isnt so little anymore :(
ETA - were the hell is Nelle these days....gone into hidding???? NelleI hope your ok hon pwease come back soon
Oh good then, Im not the only using the bepanthan without liners! It has lanolin & almond oil in it.
I don't have a heap of liners on hand & to be honest once I have used one over a zinc based cream I just toss it. I really need to buy some disposable liners.
Recommendation please..
Isla still has this weird rash thing.
Its like a spotty pimply spot. Some days its just a little red & rasied, others its looking like it has a head on it (white head sort of) then others like this morning it looks almost ulcer like.
Its not spreading but its not getting better either. Not sure what to do or try next. Its right on her fanny too so not a spot I can stick one of the optiflex things on.
Iv'e been using a combo of bepanthan in the day & that fungal zinc cream at night.
WOHB - the same iish fly mateauz is sporting in Maz's ticker!
Vic girls, i couldn't help but notice, for Reusable Nappy Week 2008 (9 - 13 October) there are HEAPS of Victorian events being put on, including workshops. Go to modernclothnappies website, it ends with a dot org - all states included, i just happened to notice the LONG list of Vic events.
beyond belly site (closing down) is now at 30% discount, no code needed.
Thanks FJ for letting me know that Bepanthen is not a petroleum based cream.
have you taken Isla to see a GP about her spot? sounds like it is really worrying you.
Maz, to separate nappies in the wash, i'm sure it helps to be obsessive about such things! i just can't help myself!! You're prolly much saner and relaxed - which is a good thing!
WOTBB: mazalicious Apple Mac cover with whatever fitted dh put on her underneath.
Really you can use bepanthen - the nappy rash one - without liners?!?!? I never knew that - I much prefer it over sudocream... seems to fix it better..
Maz - I've been washing mine in warm water - whoops - am I supposed to be using cold?!!?!? i could never remember when putting the load on, so just went warm - I usually do a wash that includes the nappy rinse option on the washing machine and use detergent, and then do an extra wash (cos sometimes poo isn't all washed off in creases of the IB's..) without the detergent - both in warm/hot water option....
Should I not be washing in warm? I'm all confused...
OH, and I never separate mine either - I'm with Maz - I just close the lid and pray...
No trip tot he GP yet. I will give it a little longer. To be honest I would feel like a bit of twit I think goin gin after 3 kids & saying I can't get rid of this nappy rash issue. Surly after 3 kids I should know!
To be honest I think its not getting the chance to dry out. It always looks worse in the mornings after being wet for so long. Even with fleece liners to keep her dry.
I think I might need to roll up the rug on the floor boards & let her go nudy rudy for a few days straight, Just keeping out of the carpet area's of the house will be fun.
So Disposable/flushable liners anyone?
I was also going to ask about the disposable liners FJ.. am very curious...
glad bepanthen is OK to use...was looking yesturday at the pawpaw salve...
what are you asking about the flushable liners FJ?
Gudie - i wash at 60 degrees all the time, other people wash using cold, all the time, some people wash mainly with cold but do a weekly hotwash, there is no actual rule - it's about "what works for you" and what you have access to/choose to do. but your MCN will survive hot or cold. If you're in any doubt (particularly about nappy warranties, it always pay to read the care instructions.
e.g if the care instructions of a particular brand say DO NOT WASH ABOVE X DEGREES adn you wash above X degrees, then if anythign goes wrong e.g elastic, your warranty will be invalid.
if you think you will forget what the care instructions are, and say you have 12 nappies of one brand (so the warranty is extra important to you), you can always print out the care instructions and blue tac them to the laundry door, so you don't forget.
The "separating out the nappies to wash them" thang, is a personal choice and more likely to be done when you only have one child i am guessing! cos it's one more thing to think about. It was drilled into me as a kid, money doesn't grow on trees and look after your things so they will last (and it will help the re-sale value). Plus linting and snagging of the MCN really irk me (see, personal quirk). Plus i really like black nappies! black attracts lint!
How many Ittis do you all have?? and what are your fave colours???
gigi, I want to get some but haven't a clue what brand to get.
Ah Gigi..I wish I could seperate them...maybe I should but I wash them normal and my machine is a full load when I do wash them...Im a sparrow with water for washing ;)..which reminds me...i must go through my minkee and make some Apple mac inspired covers..but I have to wait
WAHMnaps is doing a big hoo haa about reuseable nappy week if anyone is interested :) go and suss it out just dont click on my link cause my store is inactive atm...ive run out of stock

THEN i just need a bum to put them on .... not long now... 14 days and counting.
Thanks Gigi....I'll just keep doing what I'm doing if its not wrong!!
Anyone want an 8 week old? She's not particularly cute at the moment (ie. screaming and very velcro like) but she's free to a good home.. *grumble grumble*
Kat - is it bad that I don't know how many IB's I have?? lol...over 10 for sure...
***** there she goes again.....
:hug: Mel. She's hard work atm for you. I HATE newborn phase (is that terrible to say outloud?) but I do. Both of mine have been extremely hard work in the early weeks up until 12 or so... Matilda was hard work until.... nope we haven't reached the end of that yet ;)
I just put a nappy & cover on Jovie & she can't even walk properly... she needs more narrow nappies and I know the IB's are perfect for that... if only I could get some not in Minkee!!!
WOHB: cuddlebuns & mazalicious moo cover
Christy - yeah she's been unsettled for about a week now - day and night - feel like my eyeballs are hanging out my head - and DS has been acting up today too - no wonder I have grey hair...
We are taking her to the pead chiro - think it could be silent reflux but we aren't sure. Just want her to either (a) sleep, or (b) stop screaming. I'm not fussy - either one I would be happy with....
nappy wise - hmmmm - had DS in the nappy i got from canada for 4 hours this morning (whoops on my part) and it didn't leak - I was amazed. Well worth the $15 they are...actually I haven't had a leak ever with those....
WOAB: wild child
WOMB: blue IB d'lish
Gigi, can you pm or email me your addy for those SB's? they dont get used here and Bilbs is a perfect fit.
Maz, I am in the inbox in my sig now hun ;)
yes, where are the regulars?
:
Dont you dare laugh but I was thinking...what the hell is Ali on about????:o then the light when on and I remembered :ROFL:
Dont hate me girls..I miss the NB stage....I didnt really get to share Mateauz as a NB with him :crying: cause he was covered with tubes,wires and was in the humi crib for so long. Ive told Jed although I defently dont want anymore babies i feel like I could still have one to fix that need.
ETA - Christy - you could always get an AIO IT hon
Maz - I'll post my next one down to you ;)
thanks hon...you just made me cry.
I'm here, sorry guys. :) Just been a bit meh, you know. Very tired lately, and Rans slowed the internet for the rest of last month and I didn't have the patience to wait 4 hours for a page to load. :p (okay, I'm not evil or angry, as that smiley might suggest.)
Just felt like a small BB break, for no interesting or controversial reason at all. :)
I hear you on newborns (I understand you too Maz). I can't get enough of them when they belong to someone else and I miss them once they've gotten older. I've been very fortunate to have heaps of friend and family support with mine, and even then I found it difficult.
Christy, they have PUL Ittis, you know that right? Have you tried a Lotus AIO, not sure if any are in stock, but I've been told they're really trim too.
:
Oh ***** I'm sorry!!!
Took Isla out of her nappy & we have had no accidents yet & 2 wees AND a poo in the potty.
wow all these kids TTing!!! I have yet to discover the pleasure (and don't want to go there, want to keep using my nappies!!!)
FJ - just thought you might be interested to know that Miss M is STILL fitting into your nappies - at 8.5 weeks.. pretty good huh!!!! :)
Nelle - Hiiiii...
Arimeh... i can't wait to use our FJ nappies.. they look and feel SOOOOO SOFT!!!!
hmmmm now what nappies do i purchase??? i am waiting on 2 more Ittis.. but want something different...
really, cool. I was sitting here thinking I need some more bigger sized nappies for my man. I have a heap of fitted NBs I have made but thinking I needsome infant size ones. I will still make more infant ones anyway but its good to hear im not likely to seen them in the first month at least LOL, I have been making AIO's aswell.
Im so confused as too what to take to the hossy with me. I packet all my fitteds & prefolds but now I am thinking its too much
Kat - got any widdlewuns?
No Arimeh i don't have any widdlewuns... shall check them out....
My my what a chatty bunch you have all been this afternoon ;)
Our itti bitti list is:
1 orange minky snap in L,
2 d'lish snap ins red and turqoise L,
1 fuscia pink d'lish sewn in S,
1 boo turqoise L,
1 boo choc M,
3 boo pink, turqoise, lilac S,
Think that's it :redface: Also got a few spare booster sets in large too.
Hiya Nelle! Rans deserves a poke in the eye for slowing your internet ;) I hear you on needing a break. Sometimes the wheels of the universe enforce one on me, like the time I paid money into my mobile instead of the house phone and the house phone got cut off cos I ignored the warning letter as I thought I paid it. My mobile is STILL in credit :lol:
Katones how many nappies are in your stash now? You are more prepared than me I reccon!
HUGE :hug: for Maz and Mel.
FJ woohoo for Isla using the potty.
Christy you can get ittis not in minky. Go look for the funked up ones. They are made with a PUL outer!
WOHB magicall.
I meant to say earlier Gigi that I thought a strip wash with the detergent etc WAS for stinky-ness - no wonder my BBHs still stink it up, will have to try the bi carb one... DOH!! Also, I wouldn't have even thought to use an empty pocket as a swim nappy - what a freaking awesome idea!! Just laybyed a cute swim top for the Punk today that will go awesomly with a particular bumwear pocket... so thanks!!
I'm with those of you who chuck 'em in & pray... minus the pray bit lol. That's why I hate H&L - inevitably forget to use the laundry tabs.
Itti action - I only have 3!! I am particularly jealous of your IB stash Maz!! I have blue & white sewn ins & a yellow snap in. AM GOING TO REMEDY THIS at the expo however. :lol:
Newborns... hmmm... just born new I likes, after that... *remembers with horror* not so much. ;)
Glad you're back Nelle, now, where is Cookiemonster & Limeslice?!
Hi Girls
IB's i have
1 sml boo lilac
1 medium blue
3 large dlish in white
3 large dlish in blue
FJ - i would just take your prefolds. And leave your fitted for home. I am planning that what ever i take in will be sitting for me at home unrinsed lol.... so not taking any fitteds!!
i am sooooo tired today. SHouldny have had that 2 km walk. payin for it now!
On a good note - just finished my shorties for ashley. No more knitting - cant feel my fingers... i am wondering if it played a part in my numb hands the past 2 weeks :)
WOHB- BBB + Wool cover
But the fitteds are so much cuter LOL
ummm Oh thats right, sustainable hemp products is having a sale, go have alook. there are some 3 pack NB nappies for $30, some longies for $29, pads cheap too.
Raven ~ i got rid of all the Green bums i had bought as i decided against them.. made my money back so that was ok... i have:-
HEAPS of flanny flats
4 PUL BBH covers
3 maz fleece covers
4 FJ nappies
7 Ittis (and maybe more not sure yet)
1 BBB fitted
I've only got the one itti bitti - red snap in. However, I have just made good use of the GDUNH code & ordered 3 more! A peppermint, turquiose & Rockmelon! All D'lishes.
I've also ordered some mama pads (my first!) and another BumGenius (butternut) at another store.
Looking forward to my fluffy & mama mail!
Me thinks we'll need to do the de-stinky wash soon too. However we don't have hot water connected to our machine so I might take a trip to the laundrymat... :p
WOHB: Orange BBB & wool soaker
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?
