Cloth Nappies #147

[Shanti]

girls,

Is that "Natures child bottom balm" for $15 any good? I'm thinking of ordering some... just getting organised.... and it's safe to use on ALL MCN's I imagine??
Do you only use it when they have the start of a rash??

Ren - dunno, depends whats in it. When in doubt - use a liner We use some stuff that is made in Maleny - and it just absorbs into the skin - so I *think* that is safe cos its not a barrier cream. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!!!

Nelle - one word - ewwwwwwwwwww

Christy - so happy you found a place - hope its not one of those $800 ones!! How much do you want for the honeyboy???

Christy

How much do you want for the honeyboy???

Ok ok so I went a little crazy at the expo, but it was fun
We got....
2 itti bitti AIOs
3 cushie tooshies
3 tot bots
1 thirsties cover
1 tot bot cover
and now Im wishing I got more ittis

Went to the Worlds greatest pram stroll on Sunday at Berwick & the flag they used to start everyone off was a flat tied to a pool cue

We had our first Mothers group yesterday & someone needed a nappy change & I got heaps of Qs about her fluffy IB so I have to take in some websites for a few of them next week


Gigi - When I get home from somewhere I empty out the nappy bag & repack it except for nappies and put it next to the front door. Then when Im about to leave I throw in however many nappies Ill need. I have a small pack of travel wipes in the car for cleaning hands etc if we stop somewhere so I can used those if we are desperate for wipes & I dont have any in the nappy bag. Ive also got a small emergency bag with some disposable change mats I got given in it & a couple of sposies. I havent had to use it yet but its there if I need it.

Nelle - eww on the pooey carpet. I think Maddi's caught something coz shes been chucky the last 2 days & she isnt normally.

QM - yep it was the Imse Vimse swimsuits I got, but I already had a MD swim nappy so I only got the top/dress thingy

Ren- Sorry havent used Natures child bottom balm.
Has anyone used the aromababy one? Is it any good? I got 2 little sample tubs with the nappies I bought at the expo

Maz & Sammi - hope you enjoyed your hotel

Hope everyone is well.

I best go hang out some nappies while someone is asleep

The one made with beeswax? Mmmm smells so yummy - you can use it as lip balm too - if that's the one you're talking about, I've got it and it's good. Makes a good waxy waterproof barrier if Riv has an open sore, but doesn't clog the nappy.

Riv's been particularly destructive this morning, so very glad they're down for a nap.

[alioops]

Sal, I hope you got some show discount on those CTs!!!

[Olive]

good shopping sal!!

nelle i assume riv is ok today??? will pm you too!!

[Kazbah]

Hello ladies!

Nelle - erks on the carpet. Not good. Erk. Erk. Erk.

Maz - not a problem, my pleasure!

Sal - woooot!

Us - well my starbumz arrived!!!! DH thinks they're gorgeous. Sammi, I was exhausted on Sunday, no idea how you did it!!!

I used to keep a spare sposie in the car, but when I went to use it, discovered he didn't fit into NBs any more!!! DOH! I do keep a wad of maccas serviettes in the car though, always good. Plus I'll use anything I can find to clean him with. For the "emergency" bag I only use a bandanna as a change mat - easy to fold, squash & wash. Plus works as a wipe

hehe on the ecobubs - I put it on back-to-front first time, but it was too awkward, so thought I was putting it on back-to-front with the pocket in front!!!

Hey has anyone else got an email from KK re some curling inside the stay-dry?

WoHB - flanno flat (CC) and either dalmation twinklelily for hometime or a sposie (DH packed the bag this morning).

[christy]

I'm on the train!! I can't believe I can use my computer on the train!!! Teeheeeheee

Only a little dilerious. My flight was cancelled and I was stressing because I promised Matilda I would pick her up, then I started crying because I was going to let her down & if plans change on her, it is the end of the world and can cause destruction... and the quantas guy said "any luggage?" ummm... "nope" so off you go! and I got on the plane 10 minutes later and I'm in Brissy now on my way home I will be able to pick her up. I wasn't causing a scene but I just sat down & was wiping my eyes feeling so bad and they volunteered help. So good!

WOHB: no idea, but I will know soon

[Olive]

awwww christy thats so nice of them!

[Arimeh]

Thats great Christy - its nice when you get help when you least expect it!!!

Kaz - yeah I got that email. I haven't checked out the insert though - I think its hanging up somewhere... LOL

Nearly had a scare last night - thought i was out of nappies!!!! (God forbid!!)

Put a lovely fresh BBB on DD - she promptly pooed in it - so had to change it.

Put the last night nappy I had dry on DS - lovely snoozywun - he promptly pooed in it too!!!! ARGHHH!!!!

I started panicking cos nothing was dry - then rechecked the line - and decided to go with the standard BBB and extra booster on the outside of it - plus a wool cover - plus the shorties.. pmsl.. no bloody leaks with that combo... hahaha!!!!

I can't believe he didn't pee through it actually - he did last time I tried that - although I only used the BBH wool cover by itself - must of been the added protection of the shorties...

Now... need to find ones for tonight!!!!!!!

I tried to convince DH to let me buy more nappies - cos obviously I need them! - but nope.. not yet.. gotta pay off the CC first cos its up to the hilt..

Lucky I'll be back at work in a week and a half..

sounds like my CC after this weekend.....bugger!

Im gonna have to go through Mateauz's nappies and have a kull...I think 70 nappies for one little guy is way to many and it makes me lazy in the washing department.

Christy - I had panic set in when I read the first sentence until it got to the part of you being able to go home....oh how friggen awesome babe.

have pulled my dame neck out....friggen annoying!!!!!

WOMB - CT and loving it

[Kitt3n]

MAZ - am i reading your sig correctly ..... ???!!!!!

I have been lurking in thsi thread picking up all of your tips everyone

[~Raven~]

Nah Kitt3n I think she is conceiving an idea, not a baby...

[Arimeh]

I'd say Maz's store has a new baby brewing.. not Maz herself....

[Olive]

hehehe reads that way doesnt it!

[maz]

Keeping people on the ball honey's ..heheheheheh no more babies here that shop is CLOSED!!!

Didnt have any luck with the CT on Mateauz bum....he wet through it within 1/2 an hour. Im hoping that it was cause jed washed the nappies while I was gone on the weekend and he didnt let them dry fully before folding them up IFYKWIM...i absolutely adore the print on it (assorted baby animals).

I have a line full of IB's swaying in the breeze atm...ahhh love the sight

WOMB - raw hide = yea haw

[alioops]

Yeah that's what I was thinking Maz, but I was a little sus.

Well, my bloods came back today. hCG was high enough to continue my suspicion of multiples. Dr has ordered a repeat US for Saturday week.

Maz - Which variety of CT was it? I assume it has been prewashed. I sometimes find with my Cushies that I have to stretch the boosters as I hang them out.
