Hi Girls,

oh oh ill have to stop in there then :D Thank you :D
Normally Amolin does the trick with him but not this time :( Damn stupid toothie pegs!
On another note, im completely shocked to find Shelby 'miss i can wee through just about anything' had one of her rather long day sleeps today in a dlish thats only been washed twice so far and OMG it didnt leak! Geez it was heavy though when i changed her heheheheh
Just wondering if any of you girls know if the the owner of the wee wuns store is on holiday or something? Just i have tried to email her a few times over the last 2 weeks without any reply and now sure what else to do.
mmmmmm i emailed her on wednesday and got a reply! weird perhaps phone if there is a number!
Antheia - are you emailing her with your store email? sometimes they can be put striaght into the junk emails bin as spam, thats all. try another email addy
Psst.... totally lazy I know, but who makes the training pants? I may sell some nappies and aim to get training pants.
christy i use the ones from kmart and add a booster!
Woot sounds like a plan.
I dont use them, I just use undies full stop hun...sorry
christy i usually use the small ones from the BB, works!
lucky duck maz!! miss V trained so quickly!
she ahd her first accident today and was so heart broken about it. BOys had a school fete and I took her to the toilet..she did a huge wee but then got over excited at the mini golf...she tried holding her woo hoo but it kept coming. She sat in the pram saying yucks over and over and crying
awwwww poor poppet :(
Im using my hotmail one that i always use and get a reply from.
AJP, which email did you use of hers?

OUR VANDAL ATTACK LAST NIGHT - dh rang insurance last night - got put thru to Indian call centre! THis morning, insurance company (in our city) told him a tow truck would come to get the car, tow it to their assessor - unsafe for him to drive it like that. Assessor worked out, the YAHOOS drove down our street at 80km an hour (50 km zone, quiet street opposite cemetery) and for TARGET PRACTICE, and they must be VERY good aimers, at 80 clicks per hour, someone leant out the car and AIMED at dh's back window, and threw a HOUSEBRICK!!! So, target practice i guess. I wish they could have just played basketball if they wanted to throw somethign at a target!!!
the assessor found the housebrick below bilby's car seat! We thought the damage was ONLY the back window of the hatchback. but no, the force was so great, the front passenger seat, and the back bench seat will have to be replaced too, and the consoley thing in the middle.
dh had a denim jacket on the back seat, the tiny bits of glass are even INSIDE the closed up pockets of the jacket.
the police had ELEVEN reports of this kind of car vandalism just last night. it was not just us. So eleven people are majorily out of pocket.
WOTBB: Large Lotus night nappy - the dragonfly one with mulberry inner.
:dance: Most of the nappies are dry!!!! We are back in cloth tonight!!! :dance:
If only Sarah would go to bed!!! Bed time was 2.5 hours ago and she is still up playing and refuses to stay in her room, and she knows how to open the door. :wall:
Christy - we use undies here too. Sarah really didn't take long enough for anything I ordered to arrive in time for accidents :lol:
Maz - Vy is doing really well! the way she reacted will help her!! I doubt she will have too many accidents! WTG Vy!!!

Hi all
Arimeh - sounds like a chaffe (sp?) burn, Ari would get them in her bubblebubs and sometimes her bum G. I would put some bumps and bites cream on them from Healing Hippo but I think any healing cream would work
Kaz - I got some beautiful covers from Maz last year for Ari and my nephew Sebastian and Sam at The Nappy Bucket used to have some embroidered Berry Plush ones but not sure if she still has them up?
OMG at the temps you guys have been having! I have been reaching for the covers here as the temp drops down towards the 20's hehe
cloth for us? We have having huge night time probs, last time she soaked a wild child before midnight? Her GNST lasted longer but she still doesn't seem comfortable?
Christy - trainers we have some Blueberry but I prefer the side snappers, some super undies (by up size) and some Bumwear nappy pants. The super undies are nice and trim but I bought a small size and I need a bigger pair so will be onselling (what size do you need ???) So far my favs are still the Bumwear nappy pants as they are trim, pocket style so i can boost them and they have the side snaps for when she doesn't make it in time.
Gigi - sorry to hear about your car, hope you get it fixed up soon.
opps someones awake
Grrr Gigi more boil on bum vibes for them :angry:
Antheia does she have a message generator on the contact us page on her store? Maybe use that! You could always try PMing her on NC too. He username over their is Tish's mum (or something similar.
Jols the pawpaw ointment you use is the red tube one isn't it? I saw some on the counter at the chemist yesterday and was tempted to grab a tube but wanted to dble check first.
I'm thinking of getting some training pants for C too. He's driving me mental running in yelling "wees potty" but when I try to get the nappy off him he screams and says "no leave me alone" :rolleyes: so I'm thinking they might be easier for him to pull down instead of a nappy. Saw some nice imse vimse ones at the PBC expo and almost got some but had already spent waaay too much.
BTW thought I'd add that the toilet seat I bought is fantastic :D It's called a lupi lu if anyone wants to have a gander!
Re the training pants for Christy...dont forget minkee and her dont mess so anything that ISNT minkee would be nioce :)
Sammi - have to tell ya....Vy sat ont he loo but idnt sit far enough back and wee went all over the floor...all I heard was oh shiat form the toilet...:ROFL: like mother like daughter
BBL - kids need feeding
:rofl: Maz!!!
Thanks for the list... I will troll about and have a think. I think if I get the Kmart brand for around the house, and then some noice ones for day care/nights we may have a goer. She has absolutely no interest atm, everytime I encourage her to sit on the potty she stamps and screams :NO!: so there ya go!
Ive just only today gotten my hands on a training pants pattern...might need to make a few for you girlies ;)
WOMB - last nights lamb cassarole squished into a CT
:
The NB is abit on the small side for the 'blob' but is ok for now.. i am going to try the infant size one today with the snappy....
LOL, yes, well He wasn't exactly a tiny NB now was he LOL
Gigi - so sorry to hear about DH's car. Bloody little hooligans. Why can't they be hooligans without destroying people's property? Grrr.
Sam - the paw paw salve you want isn't the one in the red tube (that's the Lucas brand, it has a petrochemical base). The one you want is in a yellow tub or tube, it's the Simmons brand. It's a non-petrochemical base! Bit harder to find, but it's available in some health food shops. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll pick some up for you (that's if my health food shop has any in stock, they're a bit hopeless with remembering to keep things that I like in stock grrr) :)
Kat - your little Jack is so cute in his white dot minky. Just seeing how little he is compared to the change-table (unless you have a SUPER huge change table lol) really makes me realise just how much E has grown in 11 months!
Maz - :rofl: at Vy. I can just picture it. All you lot with your TTing bubbies, we'll have to call this the Undies General Discussion soon the way it's going :nahnah:
Sorry, haven't gone back more than one page, so anyone I've ignored, sorry...
I ordered my GreenKids yesterday, a red Anytimes and a zebra Minkytimes. Whoo Hoo. Sasha is just super lovely to deal with - she's awesome! And I've got a few other fluffies in the workings, so I'll have some really good fluffy mail on the way.
We've had a bit of success with changing lately. It's much easier when DP is around, because then one can distract/calm/restrain whilst the other changes. When it's a wet nappy, I change him standing up. Some of his AIOs can go on standing up. Others, I lay him down just at the very end and give him his music box to play with which keeps him amused. If it's a poo, I lay him down and give him his music box, which distracts him just long enough to let me clean his bum in peace, then I let him run around for a minute once he's clean before crash tackling him again to do the nappy. If all else fails, I have to do the pinning him down and torturing him routine, but today I haven't had to resort to that yet. So we seem to have reached an uneasy truce, it could all change again in a minute, but so far, it's not toooo hideous.
WOHB: Cute Tooshies and Sugarpeas wool cover.
FJ i put another NB Jack on him but without the little booster inside.. and it fit alot better.. so we shall see...would doing that be OK?? God he has a huge butt now :) i love it....

Hi All
I just DO NOT have the time to catch up on everything so I skimmed the first and the last page!
GIGI: So sorry to hear about the damage to your car! I hope it all gets sorted out soon for you.
This will be quick - despite the fact that I've been missing in action for awhile... BUT I'm enjoying a child-free Saturday and I'm trying to make the most of it. DH had to work and was able to take DS with him and they were making all sorts of grand plans of what to do and where to go after they finished up the job DH had to do. DH just rang to ask a question actually (and I was short on the phone with him which I feel quite bad about at the moment) and they were at an aquarium looking at new fish for our fish tank (not that we can afford it right now but still something fun for DS).
Anyway, my real reason for popping in here was to ask a question.
I have a Green Kids nappy (I think it is a Fun Times - it has drangonflies on it) and it keeps leaking. Are they OSFA? Or are the sized and it is getting too small for DS? My medium peapods leak horribly and I've chalked that up to the fact that he needs larges. I stuff the GK with the GK boosters so I don't think I'm over stuffing them! HELP!!
Not much else to report - just trying to get ready and organized for my trip to the states for my sister's wedding. I can't believe we are leaving in less than two weeks!
WOHB: no idea - hopefully daddy has changed it by now since they left the house at 10am!!
Heidi - nah they are a OSFA. Maybe the PUL needs resealing? try whackin it in the dryer.
hello to everyone else - maz - vy is a little charmer isn't she.. pmsl.. just waiting for the day DS turns around to me and says FFS mummy....lol
K, it should be, the booster is more for longer stretches. So you should be ok as long as you remember the booster isn't in it & may need changing earlier.
The booster is exactly the same size for the med and large peapods so unless you have issues with the fit of the cover being too small then maybe an extra booster will be enough.:
Suse thanks for that! Will so check out my health food store that that one :D
ROFL Maz ;)
I found Isla needed to be in the lge peapods. I bought a med & it leaked heaps bad every single time.
After speaking with Alax from peapods all we could put it down to was her shape. Even though she is probably still in the weight range for mediums she has been in lge for over 12 months.
I had to add extra snaps to thelge to avoid wing drop & so I could cross over the wings.
She has a peapod on now actually & only just now have I not crossed over the wings. although around the waist is probably still a bit loose.
Heidi - maybe a strip wash? I read somewhere that will help with PUL
Us - well just as I returned upstairs from getting rid of the poo from yesterday's CC nappy (poo from hell) and DH let me know Pip needed a nappy change .... OMG it was groundhog day. The same poo in the same nappy (blue BBB) and it was a shower job. Of course, DH wouldn't get in the shower with him, so I had to.
Least its good nappy drying weather!
LS update: still not attached.
WoHB - BBB with soaker. He's asleep.
Thanks FJ.... i ended up today trying the infant sized nappy on him... it fit great :D but not long after putting it on him.. he did a huge pooplosion!!!:
WOJB ~ sposie :(
I have had the worst afternoon ever!! i finally cracked it with Jack not sleeping last night & today he drains me at EVERY feed and i am constantly feeling 'empty' and that i don't get a chance to 'refill' he just wouldn't sleep... so i made a bottle up.. he guzzled it.. and as i was feeding him i cried....made me feel like a failure as a mum....hubby asked me how he went with the bottle and i cried some more...
So does anyone think it would be OK to try a small peapod on a NB???
Hey Kaz -were did you get that teething necklace from babe? Ive found a site called inspired by finn that has them but its US and I preferr to leave our $$ here in Australia
Took Bertha in to get fixed at the sewing machine shop today adn stummbled upon cow minkee for $16m....ringing monday morning to double check with a sales person who knows their materials rather then the old bat there today who had no idea.
Ive lost an IB....my aqua blue one..dame it!
WOMB - raw hide - has teething rash
Vy is now our resident streaker..she's not like me AT ALL!
ETA - Katones honey big hugs for you babe...you can only do what you can babe...try not to be hard on yourself
maz - darlings downunder ;)
How much is minkee usually Maz?
That's an awesome price Maz! Just make sure it is real minkee and not a cheap knock off before you go forking out for it though...I have seen quite a few cheap and nasty chinese imitation cropping up of late where they look and feel like minkee and even though the density looks okay when you make it up etc it doesnt hold wees in very well...... I know one of the bigger nappy companies got stung with stuff like this a while back.....just a heads up. one way to check it is that the bolt should have a label on the end and should say either benartex or avlyn or minky delight even if it is the real stuff...if it is a no name bolt it is probably the chinese stuff. And by law now it should at least have a Made in...... sticker somewhere so you could check that also......
Kat - you can only do what you can do honey. :hug: It's a difficult job this parenting caper!! oh and i can't help you bout the peapods cos i don't have any. I'd give it a go - the worst thing that happens is a leak!
Kaz - I was going to ask you a moo goo question - but for the life of me I can't bloody remember what it was......
WOAB: Ecobubs
WOMB: Errr a fitted nappy & wool cover of some description
Kaz - about $35 a yard (90cm) but I only buy my minkee from one person :) cause she's got the right goods ;)...havent ya Mel and honey thanks re the necklace...going to get one now.
Mel - wasnt going to buy it for covers...thinking more along the lines of making matching pram seat covers for the kids cause its universal AND cause I love cow things so much :big grin:
In that case...go for it!!!!! You could do covers for the carseats too!! and cushions and blankets and.......
Maz, they sound loverly!! I am thinking about getting a sheepskin for this bubba's capsule and pram. Something that is better than the fleece cushiony thing that is in Em's pram. Hope the IB turns up soon hun! Have you checked the drain hose on your WM?
Em has been back in cloth for a day, and her butt is healing nicely!!! The blistery spot is healing over and the bit that looked like a friction burn is gone! I love MCN.
