I found the perfect change table at babies galore today. Pity about the price. It had 4 drawers - Big enough for our stash and a change top. I think we might end up just getting a solid tallboy from a furniture shop and putting a mat on it DH knows I really want this one though, and coz it is scratch and dent stock it is around $400, from around $600. I really want it and I know where to put it too.
I have decided that the change table is going in one of the main living areas of the house. The nappies can't stay in any of the bedrooms because whoever has them in their room will be asleep when someone else needs a change.
Ali - we did the tall boy/change mat thing & I loved it.... I had little "pockets" or like shoe boxes without lids for liners, lotions, wipes, snappies, etc etc... and I liked it that way.... IKWYM when you find something that is perfect just a bit $$.

We have a chagne table in the spare bathroom and everything set up there for both kids for that same reason. One common area to go to - if it was in a room then you need 2 of everything.. and if you only have one then - you disturb a baby if the other need a change iykwim
Well girls dont be dissapointed in me but..
I have given up on nb cloth. I just cant do it.
DS seems to react to the magicalls, and i find the other mcns too bulky for his little frame.
He screams and cant bend in them and then is settled in a sposie!
With the 1 hr of screaming after every feed - the thickness around his belly doesnt doesnt work... so i have to give them up and go to sposies until he is a little bigger.
So if anyone knows of anyone looking for NB MCN's or covers pm me and i will let you know what i have.
Mel - i will have to post yours back to you, unless we have our cloth meet soon?
Ali: I have a change table like the one you described and it is AWESOME! The best part of it was that it was given to me FREE by a friend who had her SEVENTH child three months before DS was born and therefore no longer needed it. I use it for DS's clothes though and keep all the nappies in the cupboard nearby! I also have it positioned near a shelving unit which holds the wipes, nappy rash cream, etc. If you really want it and can't rig a tall boy to do the same job then I say splurge and buy it! Or check on ebay and see if you can find a used one on there! I've seen a couple now and then.
Pink Palace: Don't feel bad about not being able to do cloth on a NB! You gave it a shot but if DS is more comfortable in sposies I say go with them. No sense in making him uncomfortable and stressing yourself out with his crying! I have GRAND intentions of using cloth full time on my next one (and NO I'm not pregnant MAZ *grin*) but if it doesn't work I'll keep the little one in sposies until cloth full time will work for us! You will get there!!
Poor DS has started sneezing, coughing and he has a VERY runny nose! We leave for the states a week from tomorrow so I hope he comes good SOON!
WOHB: unique nappies pocket stuffed with LOTS of bamboo

: forgot some stuff
Oh yeah I forgot about Maz's pregnancy vibe. I think I know who it is though. I think there has been a few slip ups in posts in other threads that lead me to think who I think.....
Well I'm definitely not pregnant - need to DTD for that to happen.
PP - don't feel bad. Soon E will be big enough for the BBB's. I think I started Miss M in them when she was about 7 weeks??? But I've had an easy time cos of all the newborn and really small nappies I got from FJ (god love ya woman!)
Its hard to do a newborn in cloth... (although putting them in the nappy is easier than a toddler on the run!!)
I dont' know when our cloth meet is supposed to be? or else I could just come down to your place and hang out and the kids can play...
Had an incident today - DS came over to us (wearing his sisters IB) and said.. yuckkkk.. poo poo.. and me and DH were like.. hmm.. he must of done a poo cos the stench was incredible.. then we notice his hands.. hmmm.. covered with something.. ****.. GROSS.. he had reached into the back of his nappy and yup - it was everywhere.. of course I freaked a little (cos he had been walking around touching everything) and going yuck yuck .. gross.. ewww... yukkoo.. and he started freaking out.. lol.. I laugh about it now.. he's like.. mummyyy... mummmyyyy.. MUMMMYYYYYY.... nearly crying.. poor bugger.. well thats my news..
PP - I don't suppose you'd consider flats? I used flats with a couple of maz's covers, a motherease rikki & a bbh wrap & it really worked for us. Janie will tell you too how that 'old school' stuff not only works (imagine that!!) but is easy too; so easy that when I got a decent stash of MCN & started relegating the terry flats to 'emergency only' my darling DP rebelled; "I don't know how these work! I only know how to fold a nappy...!!". Just a thought, if you were dissappointed with the NB cloth experience.
Plenty of time PP. I'll second or third or whatever the flanny flat/prefold with cover option. Much trimmer, the Baby BeeHinds didn't come out til 4-6 weeks here, at least.
Do whatever you need to do to survive though, if it's no longer fun, then walk away (just for a little while, then come back and try again).

Pink - hope Ashlee's mystery condition gets worked out soon.
i wouldn't go judging POCKETS in general, by two brands, there are so many more out there. i send bilbs to childcare in pockets, if they wicked, the workers would have complained by now. I put her in pockets to go in the car, and whatever MCN can stay waterproof for a car ride - i consider bullet proof. That said, i know if i stuffed the pockets incorrectly, or not enough for bilbs, i would EXPECT them to wick. Like if i said a car wouldn't go, but you knew i didn't put petrol in it - you would tell me to put petrol in it.
Arimeh - three days of temps - yikes.
Christy - i hear you, the week will pass, and you'll be back in cloth.
Katones - a nb prefold with a microfleece liner on top, in a snug cover - that's all you need. i just padfolded, didn't even use the snappi (in leg gusset covers). without leg gusset covers, i think snappi-ing would be good.
ALioops - changetable sound excellent - will it fit in your bathroom or laundry or living area?
Nelle - i thought of you today, when i saw the GIRAFFE and safari new funtimes!
RAVEN - where are you hon? having a baby or something???
WOTBB: yes, the ubiqitious night nappy! my daily digest to this thread arrives in my email box late each evening - that's why she's always in a night nappy when i post.
Peeka boo...
Hey.. Seems this thread is still crazily busy... Zy's in cloth ofcourse, Indah's full y TT... I havent bought a nappy for a year atleast... LOL Zyon doesnt complian whilst wearing pink or floral so I jjst put a tuff cover over it! Welll sometimes he has on a andy pandy bummi's... LOL
I can hunting for any news on Raven, but I saw she still has a little way to go, a very little way!!! Yippeee!
gigi- well i am trying them out got 3 on the way - will see how they go!
i cant judge can it because i love my hautes/bg lol!
QM - Nelle - We used the prefolds as flats if that makes sense. I have bamboo flats too which i love but i think i need to simplfy things until he fits the bbb. hooo hum!
Ashley looks better today - hoping the drs have her results today too
I have a new love - Sugarpeas wool cover - omg.. its brilliant - not only does the Medium still fit DS - but it also went great last night over Miss M's BBB for the entire night - no leaks!!
I'm loving it I must say....
Tired now though - DS still has his temp - 4 days and counting. Docs couldn't find anything wrong so I just have to keep giving him panadol. Yay. What a solution.
WOAB: IB (but a large size now its got another snap on it - thanks FJ!!)
WOMB: IB (just for something different)
PP don't feel bad at all.... you tried the MCN with a NB it didn't work out... just have a rest from it for a while and when he gets abit bigger then go for it!!!!
We are 1/2 in cloth & 1/2 in sposies... they just seem alot easier for me (lazy biatch) at night....
