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...
