CONGRATULATIONS Katones!! Euan was 4.2kg too, he was in special care for three days and was twice the size of most of the other SC babies. Hope you're enjoying your lovely newborn cuddles and getting to use your cloth nappies for the first time.
Mel(bel), hope you're OK honey? If you are in recovery mode, just make yourself up a big plushy pile of cowprint minky and relax back in it. Like a big minky beanbag. Mmmm.
FJ - . I don't think that they actually use the cows in the moogoo... do they?
Kaz - being the resident moogoo ambassador, is moogoo non-liner MCN friendly? I'm thinking of getting some, pawpaw just doesn't cut it for the really nasty rashes, and I would love an alternative to sudocream for when it gets really yukky.
Heidi - :hugs: sounds like you're having a week like mine. Hope next cycle is the one for you babe.
Nelle - I feel well and truly basked in your radiance. (Oh wait, or is that just the UV ). I am feeling very blah at the moment so understand the need to get into the outside world. Oh, BTW - I finally had my hair cut on the weekend - it's now fire engine red baby. Hee hee.
Jols - in a front loader I use the Aware sensitive powder. 'Tis good.
I am officially over my BumGs right now. I've strip washed, stuffed more, stuffed less, etc, etc, and yet they still leak out the back. There are two in which the leg elastic is almost well and truly shot, but these don't seem to leak any more than any of the others. It seems that if the insert is a millimetre off perfectly centred then it leaks, to the point where we are having to be so ridiculously pedantic about putting them on E, who wriggles like an extremely wriggly thing and squishes the inserts up anyway as soon as he starts moving around. But they only leak every now and again, it's not every change, I'll have a few days or a week where they don't leak at all, then all of a sudden three in a row will leak, and I just can't figure out why. Grrr. It's really bugging me.
Maz, a while ago you posted a really good method of redoing leg elastic in BumGs, I can't find it, can you remind me please? What sort of elastic should I use?
WOHB: Bamboozle and Sugarpeas wool cover. And nothing else, it's bloody hot up 'ere...
Maz thats quick!!! Will you use the soaker? If not you can pass it on... its a Shannon soaker too small for Jovie now. I thought the dress might be a bit big, but that red would suit your gorgeous girl!! Matilda's just grown out of it.... only just.
Suse that stinks about your BumG's. So strange how some of us have favourite nappies & they don't suit others? I just find that random. BumG's are still the top nappy used in our house, but since they are easy they are used at day care mostly. I only get to use them on the off chance I have some clean & JJ isn't going to day care anytime soon.
WOHB: Sposies she woke up with a horrible angry rash, so I sent her to FDC with sposies and cream.... couldn't be bothered explaining liners etc.
Im not sure that katones has listed her announcement yet.
We got a txt in the october due group!
Suse - i hear you on the BG elastic. It is shonky! i have repaired one twice already... actually have it on DD bum atm... hoping no runny poo lol...
Christy - Mmm the soup is divine thanks so much!. Called Liz today too - i was a little slack returning her call but she understood HOw is the organising going?
SKittlebub - i found the best way to treat DD's rash in mcns was water and flannel and then Dry throughly (this was the trick i think!!!).. and then plain cornflour. If i had a liner (fleece) i would use bepanthen and it would be gone in 2 nights HTH
WOAB - BG
WOEB - Sposie
PMSL, No its not the use of the cow in the moogoo, its the use of so much cow MILK in things. LOL
Skittle, No don't use that with out a liner in your nappy. Its horrid **** to get off your nappies! I was using it with fleece liners & I just tossed the fleece liners after use as I can't get the stuff off!
Suse honey - easy as...get a safety pin..cut little slits were the elastic is now...feed elastic through from one slit to the other...with the sewing machine securily sew on top elastic and then stretch elastic as much as you can, thens tart sewing until the bottom slit.
If you cant get your head aorund it send them to me to fix babe. I did Jol's fo rher.
Fiona HUGE package has landed and the pinnis are to die for.
Christy - I think we'll use the soaker for night times..its so cute and thank you honey...you didnt have to send me a nappy for me but how can I resist a BBH expecially in purple MAUWS!!!!!
Mel - dont know about amazing...tired yes
Sammi - rainbow spider has landed....hehehehehe
Question time...its about labels on nappy's, covers ect.....would people prefer a 'label' that sticks out or a hidden one (cant reveal to much )
I like the labels that are over the tabs or on the back (cause I love showing off!)
Can't remember who .. ahhh KK - they have the size as the label on one tab, and the name on the other (or do they use snaps with the sizes?)
You know you're addicted to MCN when ... the postie comments he hasn't seen you for a while, you make the comment "fluffy mail!" and he not only replies "it certainly is" but also asks to see them, and you have a discussion about cloth vs sposies! And he pats the fluffy mail!!
Ummm yeah, I got fluffy mail - widdlewuns funkywuns with matching singlet. Need to wash it and hope that Saturday is a warm, warm day so I can show it off! And a gift widdlewun that's gerberas, for a friend of mine. She needs a lift, as her partner left her and she has limited funds but loves cloth.
woHB - still the same zappy (getting more worried here)
