Gigi - don't worry, the number of times I've gone out with out nappies and wipes, you know a bottle of water and a singlet can do an awesome job of cleaning up poop, as can toliet paper, McDonald serviettes, tissues, the spare change of clothes we keep in the car (which she has always outgrown by the time i need to use them!) I had a similar situation to yours with nappy at the beach and Ari sitting unexpectedly in water! Have no idea what i did. I remember once when DS was little he ended up going home wrapped in a blanket as he had pooped all over both sets of clothes and the 3 nappies I had (sposies -thus the pooexplosion) Ahh it's awesome what we women can do under pressure.
Nelle & Arimeh - I did the same with my GNST! Took me a few days to figure it out.
Nappy news - woohoo Ari has slept thru the last 2 nights in cloth and we're making it a third. Bought the most gorgeous minky slushie abby grow from cuddlesncloth pink with orange top - so hard to decide with all those BEWTIFUL colours in front of me!!!
Ali - thanks for popping in and showing us your gorgie nappies at RNW. Today went so quickly and I am completely knackered
Anyway must go sleep while Ari is still down in case we have yet another wakeful night.
WOHB : Bumg with extra bamboo and hemp boosters and Maz cover (finally found a good use for my velco Bum G)
Had a great time at the expo, very tiring though! Got myself a little fluff though, so very exciting! Was amazing how many people were interested in MCN. More were interested than not i thought which is great.
I also got my gorgeous Pinnies from FJ. And not only is the pinnie gorgeous, she gave me TWO!! What a kind, thoughtful and lovely lady you are FJ. Many thanks. MWAH. MWAH. MWAH. (Thanks to my pack horse for lugging all my stuff down too! Shanks Mazza)
Hmmmm i 'think' i used to put my ecobubs on back to front now that you mention it Mel!
Kat- hows bubs bum this morning? por little thing.
ohh them melb girls- glad you all had a great time at the expo...
Ok i have two feral children for giveaway.. its only 7:30 am and they are already at it. Annika is literally screaming the house doen because i told her off (YET AGAIN) for being into my photo albums.. I have no where else to put them and she keeps distroying them.. plus Teleah is having a tanty too cause she was in on it (you would think at 4 she would know better) so any way i have locked them in their bed room til i am ready to leave.
seriously how many times do you have to say no about the same friggen thing? im ready to crack smae ***** different day.
WOAB: lime Dlish
WOMB: ohhh yeah another lime dlish lol (matching bums, as well as matching screaming fits)
Gigi - sorry hun didnt see the wt question lol :P (you know me hlaf a brain). He was 7lb7oz at birth.. not sure now. so that is about 3.4kg???
I might use the bamboo trifolds at night and the flannel during the day.
Does anyone else leave bub in a wet/dirty nappy when they have drifted back to sleep after a poo? Or do you wake them to change them... stupid question i know.
Beatrix - It was a purely cloth night yay! Only had 1 poo explosion out the side of the bummis onto my sheets doh! but The cover is sparkling white again! Gigi was right and they wash out perfectly! yay for Mel!
thanks fj. that is what i have been doing
Same with burping. He will fall asleep on the breast (as we are cosleeping atm) and i think i should burp him... but then it wakes him and i have to put him back on the breast.. and the cycle continues!... but if i dont then he wakes with belly pains!
Well i put E in a small BBH PUL. It s a little big but i think it wil be ok for pad folds during the day and the NB at night with the snappis bamboos... i find the pad folds are just that bit thicker and bulkier in such a little nb cover.....
gotta go.. ashley is armed with crayons and i have lost sight of her!!!!
Gigi ROFL I always forget stuff but I just don't care Sometimes I am thankful that my car is usually a mess because that means I can forage in the boot or the back footwells and find a hat, jumper or whatever. I've put one of Masons jumpers on Caleb once which was hilarious
DH used sposies on Caleb while I was away which I expected. Poor fella had a red little date though
I've also got a bucket full to wash which I totally forgot about. I should have done them on Friday night. Too scared to lift the lid of the bucket
Oh... My... God... I am not really handling nappy changes ATM. Over the last few days E has decided to turn into screaming, wailing, twisting, turning, trying to throw himself head-first off the change table, will not let me put a nappy on him at all costs baby. But this morning was nearly impossible.
Distracting him with a new toy doesn't work, singing to him doesn't work, playing peekaboo with a cloth doesn't work, remaining calm and talking softly doesn't work, I'm embarrassed to admit that completely losing the plot and screaming at him doesn't work (no surprise there, all it ended up with was both of us crying our eyes out), taking him off the change-table and sitting him on my knee doesn't work, the only thing that does work is the two person change - ie: one person to literally and quite forcefully pin him down whilst he thrashes about and screams, the other person to change him. Which probably isn't helping the situation, it must feel like torture for the little guy, it sure feels that way for me.
Unfortunately DP is at work so I'm on my own, I'm scared that if I try to physically hold him down I'll hurt him, and my back and shoulders are absolutely stuffed so I physically can't wrestle with a nearly 11kg boofhead anyway. He's actually too strong for me. It took nearly 25 minutes to change him this morning and by the end of it I was in so much pain it wasn't funny, and E was so distraught by the whole thing he's only just calmed down now. And it wasn't even a pooey nappy, I'm dreading poo.
Short of actually tying him to the table, I really don't know what to do. I know that it's probably just a phase as he is just starting to walk and is hating anything that stifles his ability to run around like a maniac. But in the meantime - PLEASE HELP!!! (lol)
WOHB: a slightly lopsided Cute Tooshies and Sugarpeas wool Cover (and funnily enough, fitteds and covers are actually easier ATM, because they are a little more resistant to being poorly fitted than an AIO)
we're making it a third. Bought the most gorgeous minky slushie abby grow from cuddlesncloth pink with orange top - so hard to decide with all those BEWTIFUL colours in front of me!!!
