Cloth Nappies #146

[*Efjay*]

Hey maz, whats your thoughts on me going this weekend? Still thinking that will be the time?
I have no idea, but Im not feeling as though anything is going to happen & DH thinks it will be well after the 10th of Nov (due on the 4th mind you lol).

I have so many little nappies its not funny. I am thinking I need to move onto making medium size ones LOL. Maz are you serious that Mat has out grown the med itti's? Thats just amazing. Isla can wear a med!!! On the second last snap but still!

I want to make something but I don't know what... I need to make more bassinet sheets, pram insert thingy, ummm curtains for the car... wet bags..

Actually anyone know where I can get those draw sting toggle thingys?

hmmmm I knew there was a reason I just needed to go to spotlight LOL

gigi everytime i look at powder/liquid it never mentions using in front loader, what do you use again!!

kaz off to check out the moogoosoap!

I just went and looked in the laundry at ours

the Planet Ark Sensitive box says in big letters, bottom of front of box SUITABLE FOR TOP AND FRONT LOADERS.

cos we have a front loader, i always look for "suitable for front loader" on the items. several weeks ago when i did a survey of several brands in the supermarket, i DID notice quite a few for FRONT LOADERS, but i cannot remember it all now. will look again (hoepfullyu i will rmeember next time i'm there).

and i know you can get Omo Sensitive for front loaders. we've swapped from using Omo S to Planet ARk Sensitive just recently.

i'm pretty sure the EcoStore one was for front loaders too. But i'll need to read the Amolin, Purity and Earth's Choice bottles/packs again to make sure.


The moogoo soap is great, goats milk. lovely.

gearing up for Reusable Nappy Week on Friday, i'm helping out at our local event, going to take along night nappies and woollies to show whoever is interested. maybe wetbags too. wish i coudl take the LIttle Squirt! LOL


MELBEL - i hope your thumb heals well sweetie!

FJ - has your nesting included making "nappy free time mats"? you mentioned everything else! you are SOOOO well organised woman!

KAZBAH - good on you for contacting Sunrise. woot. I hope Pip's temp goes down.

ALIOOPS - got any photos of Em in the cushie tushies?

MAZ - using normal clothes detergent on all the nappies, that could possibly contribute to Vy's rashing. (have i got this right? it's Vy that has been rashy, not Mat as well?) it could be her skin reacting to the normal strength washing powder next to her skin. There are sooo many reasons and factors why bubs rash, but the washing powder one pops up time and time again, as the culprit (for many clothies and their bubs). Just a thought. The normal wash powders (for clothes) have enzymes, fragrances, optical brighteners. The sensitive powders don't have those things in them.

WOTBB: a night nappy combo that i put in the NIGHT NAPPIES BASKET all ready to go, that's what dh would have put on her.

gorgeous photo FJ!

Well we finally had a wet nappy - the zappy after his nap! And then BBB dirty. And BBB wet.

But he's definately lethargic, and his temp is rising. Was 37.6 and then 38 2 hours ago, just now 38.6 so have given him panadol, will check again in about an hour and unless its going down, we're to hossie methinks.

would you believe the Brisbane thing that was on today was on Dad's street? He phoned up to tell me about all the women with babies and cloth bums at the park.

WoHB - snoozywun

[*Efjay*]

I have never taken my kids to the hospital over a temp. I guess its always been managed with panadol. But the idea of sitting in emergency for hours just makes me shudder LOL. HAte the day that I actually need to do it for a temp I can't get down!

[Kazbah]

its more that I can't take tomorrow off work as well as today, my boss is starting to get really grumpy. i wish we had family we could dump him with in times like this.

[Beatrix]

Gigi- what event is one on friday? i have the day off form kiddies! hmmmm might go google

[MummyTummy]

I have two questions for you lovely ladies

Firstly, when Jett has his IB d'lishs on and does a poo it leaks straight out the sides. If it is just wee it gets all soaked up. So there appears to be a rather large gape around the leg. I have tried doing them up extra tight and just comfy but the gape doesn't change. He is in size small. It is almost like the trifold booster and hourglass booster bulk up the nappy too much between his legs so the nappy can't wrap around his legs IYKWIM. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to try next? I love the sizing and the trim fit of the design otherwise.

Secondly, I've heard you talking about wing droop.... what is it?

WOHB: Haute pocket

[Beatrix]

MummyTummy- sounds like the sewn in rather then the snap in dlish may be more suitable for your bubs... you can remove the 3 layer bamboo trifold and just change more often,.. or you could make a smaller bamboo insert youself if you know how.

as for wing droop, its when the under snap/velcro layer sag down from the wings.. does that make any sense , so its being held up but you have two wing type shapes sagging down either side

[christy]

Kazbah I totally understand, I had the Family Care GP out on Sunday to our house because Matilda was up all night coughing and it was a matter of having them out or going to the hospital. She's still sick today with a temp and coughing but nothing else. I had to have today off work, and it was supposed to be my last day!!! It would be so much easier with family around... I take that back, it WILL be so much easier with friends/family around.

Jovie is laying in DH's arms atm, she's woken up with a temp as well *groan* another one bites the dust.

[MummyTummy]

Thanks Beatrix, I do have a sewn in, but he keeps wetting that one rather than doing the explosive poo! Maybe he is trying to tell me something! I might try making a smaller bamboo trifold....where do I get bamboo from? I know Spotlight doesn't have it!!!

And thanks for the wing droop clarification, I thought as much but just wasn't sure!

[Beatrix]

bamboo is brought online

nappies covered, tiny toosh and snaps austalia sell it.

Hi Gals,

Had so much fun at RNW today, lots of older ladies so excited to see us out there! And only about 3 snide comments :-)

Ali it was great to catch up with you today hope to see you on Sunday!

Melbel - ouch on the finger hope your back on your feet soon.

Maz - can't wait to see your tags! I know it's late but from a sellers perspective I LOVE outside tagsbut I can understand how the tags could be annoying for others.

oops got to go
