    Gigi what bunch of lousy so and so's! I hope they get big boils on their bums

    Mel do you think it could be a chafe mark from the FOE getting wet? We had the same issue with Caleb which is why we tried fleece covers originally.

    cheeky I would at least check every 2 hours unless bub is sleeping. If not wet or pooey then you can leave it a bit longer. Also depends on how bub reacts to the wet as some really don't like the feeling. I really couldn't leave a nappy on longer than 2 hours anyway due to rash.

    alert!

    morning ladies!

    just put an itti on DD for the 1st time, after taking off a pooey disposable, and what does she do 10 mins later (and after I pat her soft fluffy butt a few times he he), a massive newborn style explosion!

    What do I do????? I couldnt let it roll into the toilet so I tried to get as much off with a wipe as I could. I know your not supposed to need to soak them, but I surely cant put that in the machine with her other clothes can I?

    How do you normally get that type of poo of?

    in this home, we got that off and still do, using the Little Squirt. it's a water attachment gun you put on the toilet cistern. looks like a water hose sprayer.

    You put the nappy low down in teh toilet bowl, aim the Little Squirt at it, and the poo goes down the loo. so then you have a now sopping nappy to put in your "Dry" Pail.

    everybody uses a different method, but that's what works for us.



    KATONES
    he is sleeping for 3/4 hr stints is it OK to leave him in a cloth nappy that long? or should i change him every 2hrs??

    Are his nappies absolutely sodden when you change (at the four hour mark?)

    if they are, i would attempt at least one DREAM FEED. if he sleeps thru it, it's a dream feed. (keep the lights dim).
    If the change wakes him and makes it hard to get him back to sleep, then i would reconsider the dream feeds.

    Do you have a stay dry layer in his nappies (microfleece liners etc?)

    some things are a "suck it and see" type of proposition.

    You never know unless you try.

    Four hours straight of sleep at his age? wow. impressive!

    **** Gigi what little turds!!!! I cant believe someone would do that! We had alot of trouble withour Jerry Springer house for 2 years and now they have been 'relocated' to Melbourne Can you PM me and let me know what you'd like to do in regards to the SB babe....I see now that I did send you the wrong one and I am SO SORRY!!! I do have Organic Velour ones here if you want one but their medium.

    Kaz - add me babe...actually i think I jsut got a thingo from facebook

    Waiting for the sewing place to ring me back...its the shank that holds the embroidery foot that I snapped.....stupid dame temper.

    Sick as a dog atm. I cant even talk properly my throat is killing me that much.

    ive gotten Jed to order me a big pantry for my material stash....i hope to god its big enough.

    Christmas covers.....next week I'll be cutting into some christmas coloured minkee and fleece but I wont be showing them off until end of November.

    Oh as for the cow minkee and cotton...i did hot pink and lime green (well its more grassy) and they look noice. Just spewing that I cant finish of some more now!

    WOMB - black IB and he's sleep

    ETA - Kellie give it a rinse under the tap and leave it until you have a load of MCN to wash. I never wash my nappies with my normal cloths...ick factor for me....dont really like the thought of pooh being washed with my clothing

    Maz - I only have MCN's though so far, I'm still deciding what to buy next! I do have a few of the flanellete nappies to wash that I clean up spew etc with, could I wash an itti with them? or would the fluff from the flanellete make a mess of the itti? Sorry for all the dumb questions!

    Kellie give it a rinse off in the laundry trough and as you can dry pail it for a couple of days you may have enough burp cloths to wash it with on a small load. You could wash it with towels too and if you're worried about fluff on it use a wash bag.
