Cloth Nappies #148.

[rhyb]

I dont know anything about Magicalls but peapods are only at most $19.95 and work best on chubby bubs thats my advice there.

With the moogoo, here's what I use:

* daily @ childcare - skin milk (in tube not tub)
* nightly @ home and also first change of the day - full cream udder cream

And when we have mega-redness or blistering
* soothing cream

Despite my best efforts, we still get blisters, but only once (teething!) and that's cleared up in under 30 hours.

Maz - nice warm weather up your way, time to test swim nappy soon!

Hoping all sick bubs get better soon

woHB - zappy with PUL cover. Waiting for the after-tea poo before bedtime.

LS status: still waiting. DH advises that our loo fills from the bottom not the top which makes it interesting. And has made me promise not to do it. (why did I agree?)

Kaz - I've only got the one in the tube - but I *think* his rash is clearing up... fingers crossed anyway, its been a hell one. But the blisters are dissolving and skin is coming away so I think thats what happens when it gets better... isn't it?? LOL

*maz goes to find moo goo* soothing cream...ah thats what we've got but NR is that bad here, that Mateauz skin is peeling of down there.

just rang Inlaws to organise mateauz birthday party at their place I cant wait

Peapods - We had a peapod for DD when she was first in cloth but it was the first nappy she outgrew so I was a bit annoyed - I think we only got maybe 6wks out of it before it started leaking as it was too small.

Magicall - had one of the earlier ones with velcro and didn't like it but have got one of the new ones and it isn't too bad, the minky ones are really nice too.

Ali - give us a buzz if you need nappy rash cream I have a tonne here, healing hippo and mother earth naturals.

Off to post some pics of Ari in her pink and orange slushie abbygrow at Xanders party - so cute

Pink - what is it about pockets that make you think they will wick?
As long as
- the pocket isn't so old that the PUL has stopped being waterproof
- there is sufficient absorbent fabric in the pocket cavity, for your child's output, only you as their parent will get to find out exactly how much absorbent material they will need per nappy wear
- you put an appropriate size insert in the pocket cavity (if you put a very narrow insert, into a wide crotch pocket, that will wick. if you have a wide nappy, use a wide insert. if you have a narrow pocket, use a narrow insert.
- the nappy is not left on too long
Follow those guidelines, your pocket shouldn't wick.

i notice on the pocket brand websites (like greenkids and happy heiny) they put the plain colours for ANY time, and the prints only for short wears e.g DAY time, so i think that is a subtle hint that block colour PUL is a safer bet - if you have to choose btwen print or plain PUL.

WOTBB: kester kovers AIO

bilbs is still on the baby nurofen and making very loud noises struggling for air as she feeds, but perked up a bit this arvo. She played with a pile of boosters for 15 mins on the change table, then took them to the flip out sofa, played with them for about 30 mins there, then put the boosters in the push truck (that holds blocks) and wheeled them around for another 15mins. All that fun, out of nappy boosters!!

her fun is to make piles of them, patting EACH one as she carefully puts it down!

dh thinks she is imitating me sorting laundry (!!!).

Beatrix - how are the paint fumes hon?

FJ - are you drinking raspberry leaf tea, or holding your legs together?

Arimeh - i dry MCN in the shade (indoors actually) and put the stiff ones (fitteds and inserts) thru the drier for three minutes. Do you think three minutes is bad for the environment? i've been telling myself, "it's only three minutes". WDYT?

Katones - great your small peapods worked for you, did it pass the Poo Explosion test? I am SO impressed you cooked dinner!!! wow! i am still not at the stage TWO YEARS later. not kidding. you are a STAR katones.

Gigi's market roundup - mandymac website has just released their new night nappy.

Oh and i've started seeing "sets" around, YK matching singlet and nappy, matching pinni and nappy, that sort o thang. wish i coudl remember where i saw them! cute as. oh well, if you surf ozebaby, wahmnaps, minicuteture, wahmania, i'm sure you'll come across them on your travels.

KAZBAH - thanks for expanding on the various moogoo creams, they have a lovely website, but it involves ALOT of reading and understanding to get to know enough to know wot to order for nappy rash. your explanation was very helpful. i bought the soothing cream and the udder one too.

[Arimeh]

Gigi - nope, I think three minutes is fine
