I'll be in massive trouble if it's me Maz! So here's hoping it's someone else. :p
Um, if you don't need that nappy, it'd be fun to borrow, but honestly...we're hardly having a nappy shortage in the McNelle household...:redface:
well well well.. we do have a lurvly blue BBH minkee in small :D
so that is what is on his butt now :D
Ahh der maz https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...hp?photo=10233:
**** look at your belly....I WANNA A PG BELLY AGAIN!!!!!! wait I have but minus the baby :ROFL:
Sorry OT... Sewing-lady-types - how much should a new sewing machine needle be? Mine broke today & am looking online...
a few dollars foor a pack of 5. I wouldn't expect to pay mor ethen $10 for a pack of. But its been a while since I needed to buy any. And Im pregnant so have no brains
Thanks FJ! Looks like it'd just be easier to go to SL, but then I'll buy more than just needles!!
well.....
the BBH minkee held up for the wees.... but as Jack was laying on the change table he decided to let rip.. and we had a pooplosion.. obviously these nappies were dezigned for littlies with chunkier legs :) and there was poo everywhere out of one leg....
guilty mummy moment...
Put a hemp Bubba J nappy on DS at about 12:30pm...
Got home from playgroup and shopping at 3pm and totally meant to change him the moment we got home - especially because I was going to wash a load of nappies as well.
However, got distracted and he didn't get changed until 7pm and his bum was BRIGHT red!
I gave him lots of kisses and cuddles and apologized and then slathered his bum with cream!
WOHB: Abby Gro nappy heavily boosted for the night
Kitten - glad you are enjoying your MCN prepping time
Katones - how did your peapods TRIAL go?
Arimeh - how is the nappy rash situation??
Maz - so Mat also can't handle synthetic next to his skin? ala bilbs. i now have a good quantity of flannelette and also cotton velour liners to put inside all the nappies, it's really helped heaps.
LilP -you're human hon!
WOTBB: dragonflymagik night nappy
bilbs had to be taken out of CC early today, due to temp, all she wants is booby juice.
Gigi, poor little Bilby. Hope she's feeling better.
Gigi... didn't manage to try the peapods yet.. i shall put it on my to do list for today :D:
am just a tad tired :) but i will give it a go today ...
Don't know if anyone mentioned this already but Cheeky Tots have a bit of a nappy (& other stuff) sale on atm... who uses Baby Kangas? Are they alright? I really like the look of the red one with black snaps...
Gigi - Hugs to Bilby, Punky & I are sick too atm... it's sooooooo horrible! :(
I meant to say yesterday about magicalls how ours ALWAYS leaks, no matter what I do, it's the one with the main sewn-in part that you can add the booster in pocket-style. It's relegated to the cruddy emergency nappies in the corner.
:hug: Hugs to the sick ones, I'm feeling a bit erk too, hopefully that means I'm fighting something off, as opposed to coming down with something! So home with Si, while mum takes Riv to playgroup to burn off energy. She's good to me.
Think I'll pull out some more mediums for Si, it's so exciting him being on solids, I don't have to be quite so militant about brilliant leg fit.
Don't stress Heidi, I'm the queen of forgetfulness, I thank God regularly that my boys for the most part have butts of steel (apart from teething times, especially teething poop, which is steel corroding). If I've left a nappy on longer than I should, I often just chuck bub in the bath for a bit of a soak. And a nice slathering of some cream, be it nappy rash cream, or baby moisturiser with healing ingredients.
Don't stress about the poosplosion Kat, newies can explode out of pretty much anything I reckon. I think some babies actually take a new nappy as a personal challenge to poo out of it. When Si pooped out of a cloth nappy, I just thought to myself - what if it had been a sposie with no elastic at the back!? Ick.
we have already pooed up the back of afew sposies :) quite the pooing machine i have!!!
Gigi - the top layer from one of the blistering bits has started to come away - so I'm guessing its getting better? He is noticing his bum hurts now when I put cream on it :( He is asleep in my arms at the moment - with his dummy and toy dog - my god my arm is dying cos his head is so heavy.....:
And we had to take him out of CC yesterday too - his temp was 39, and 40 by the time I got him to the doc.. and I don't even have any booby juice to make him feel better! :crying:
thanks honey...guess what im making today now :) I took Mateauz' nappy of this monring after 1/2 an hour due to doing pooh number 2 for the day and his 'sack' was stuck to the booster and took skin off :o so have dugged out the velour and will work on making him liners.:
Ive started washing my nappies in jsut water...no soap and Ive found that to help abit. I hear Alexis at the IB stand say her girls have really sensitive skin and she doesnt use detergents with her nappies so thought I would try it. Here's hoping it has the same wonderful effect for us.
i hope that Bilby is better honey and that your gotten some sleep ;)
Vic - dont gforget to take your needle with you to Spotisville babe..I always forget which bloody needle to get.
Bloody hell Mel - is he alright today? crapola!
I have a bark and a half today....its killing me and now Vy and mat have got a runny nose. mateauz is in bed now...poor bugger and tooth number 2 is cutting through. I heard him a few times through the night but couldnt get my head of the pillow so Jed tended to him.
I think I have to spray disinfectant on my mail out orders ;) so I dont contaminate people
BBL need to be a mummy :)
well we are in the trial and error period again :)
WOJB ~ tan peapod
oh sweetie, i hope i didn't come across as HURRYING you, i just knew you were goign to do it AT SOME STAGE. i know you are under the pump so much already, truely, whenever you get round to it! don't hurry up on my account, i didn't mean to add something MORE to your list of "stuff to do".:
you're exhausted - some things will just ahve to wait - i bet just getting the Essentials done right now, is PLENTY for you to do.
hugs to you Katones.
Does anyone know why my nappies are getting really stiff????
I don't have them out in the sun that often - hasn't been the greatest weather - but all the inserts turn really stiff!!!
I don't think I'm using too much liquid - but maybe I am???
Maz - he keeps asking for cake - but I don't have any... at least he is sitting up now - been lying down all morning...
LOL Gigi.. i knowyou didn't mean anything by it. i wasn't having a go at you (hope you don't think that!!) :D and of course you weren't hurrying me.. and me saying adding it to my list.. well i just never seem to get everything done in a day if you know what i mean??? i was very surprised yesturday.. that i actually got dinner cooked for hubby :)
the peapod "i" think fits good.. so we shall see how it holds up.... he has gone down for a sleep....
Mel do you have a top loader or front? I found that my friends who have top loaders have softer nappies than I do. When I use the lower spin cycle mine aren't as stiff. Also I do an extra rinse, and then I sometimes add bi-carb soda to the final rinse to soften the water. HTH!
well the Peapod held up :) nicely infact... Jacks legs still need to be that bit bigger and nappies will fit alot better.
WOJB ~ FJ fitted Jack / Maz-a-licious minkee cover
Christy - top loader. plus i make the spin not as fast....maybe they need chucking in the dryer or sumpthin?
mmmm that would work I think.
kinda defeats the purpose of being enviromentally friendly though ay...lol
Mel I found that a strip wash helped with stiffness, Even my BBH is softer than when I got it (2nd hand) and that is still quite scratchy, but it now folds where I want it to!
I need to buy some NR cream. Will have to get Bepanthen tomorrow coz I doubt that MooGoo would get here in time. Poor Em is all red, Darn teeth!
WOEB: CT - Cant remember which one - maybe dalmation?
WOSB: Cute tooshie with Loch Ness Madness cover
I looked at the moogoo website but am very unsure WHICH cream i am to buy?? none say for babies bottoms??
Kat - its the soothing cream.. so click on the first option (I think) on the left hand side, and then scroll down - you'll see the cream..

here is Jack in his BBH blue minkee yesturday
Thanks Arimeh....
well.. i am quite chuffed with myself today.. we have been in cloth ALL day :D and NO explosions or leaks :)
WOJB ~ purple BBB / white BBH PUL cover
yayyyy for cloth all day!! i remember that feeling....
now its a tough decision for a night time nappy for her.... she outweed the BBB and thru the soaker the other night.
:rolleyes:
And of course my snoozywuns are too big for her!!
Damn this child sleeping 12 hours at a time ;)
kat - how much does your boy weigh now?
i find bbb are still too big :(
what do you all think of the peapods ?
Mel, do you have an extra booster or prefold you can put beween the BBB and the soaker? just to give her that extra bit of absorbency.
ooooh... prefold... never thought of that... ta Ali *mwah*
:
PP.. last time he was weighed (last week) he was 4.1kgs :) this week.. hmm i don't have an idea.. i want to take him and get him weighed but i can't drive yet :( and hubby doesn't get home til late during the week.
i shall take a piccie later to show you the size of the BBB on him.
the peapods.. well i liked the fit (except for my boys chicken legs) his legs just need to be abit fatter and the fit would be perfect :)
My boy has the chubba bubba legs so peapods are awesome for him. Unfortunately theyre all Ive tried so I cant really compare...
i think i am in love with BBB :D great nappies..... need to get more i think....
thanks girls
i have been offered 3 peapods for 3 magicalls..... fair swap??
i just dont want wicking being a pocket
