    Mel, IIRC someone said Bepanthen was OK for MCN. Am I right?

    Nessa, If I didn't lie about the date of my last period then my due date would the tuesday. But my earliest scan said the 3rd So I was happy to stick with the 4th as what my dates would be seems my cycle wasn't down to 28 days (whichis why I lied).
    But I doubt it. He is still to mobile in there to be getting ready to come out IMO

    luckily, the only trainer on my list that uses minky, was the Blueberry.
    so note to Christy, IGNORE THE BLUEBERRY REF!
    the ref to the cowprint minky trainers was roolly and truelly aimed at you Maz!!

    Raven, i have seen the Simmons paw paw salve online at ecobabe
    THat Lupi Lu seat looks Da Bomb, i'm dying to know how much cheaper it wsa at a baby expo. i found it on a site called The Product STore, plus a video demo on youtube. Looks like it would stop little people like Vy from missing! poor little love.

    Katones - were you asking about nb sized pockets? i had a bub with skinny legs at that stage. we had success with fleece pockets but not PUL pockets, at that age. So i would suggest, when you have your trial run, be at home, not out. Have bubs lying on the "nappy free time" mat, so if there is leakage, you can just chuck the mat in the washer.

    Hope you get some shuteye soon hon, sleep deprivation - WE know why it's such an effective form of torture don't we?

    Dh's car is in the upholhestor's (sp???) lockup over the weekend. Hopefully next time we see it, it will have new back seat, new passenger front seat and new back windscreen. i am still worried that they won't get all the little bits of glass - YK - bilby travels in that car and i can't help thinking about that. silly to obsess i'm sure.

    i'm worried, in the haste to get it all done, teh upholestry will get done first THEN the back window will be smashed out, putting fresh glass all over the NEW seats, ready for the window to be done. If i knew the order it was being done in, i would relax. DH wants the car back ASAP cos of the drive to get to work.

    KAZBAH - what do you mean by a shower job? does that mean a nappy cleanup that CAN"T be fixed with a few facewashers?

    thanks for all your commiserations on the vandalism, i have no idea who actually did it, so i can't blame "young kids" or "druggies" or anyone, cos i didn't see who did it. We have fifty year old neighbours who CONSTANTLY play really loud DOUFF DOUFF music, it's taught me not to generalise about which age groups are the most painful neighbours!!! Everyone i know assumes it will be young kids and they look real shocked when i tell them how old the offending neighbours are!

    Beatrix - don't worry about the sposies, your MCN will be waiting for when life settles down somewhat.

    when does teething stop? is it worth buying a teething necklace for a two year old, or is it mainly over for them at that age? i wish i had bought one when bilby was a nb. thought of it and never got around to it.

    Maz - Kathryn Shaw on ozebaby has bf-ing jewerelly, maybe she might stock teethign jewerelly also. The stuff on DDU looks nice.

    ALIOOPS - that's good that Em is healing well.

    MELBEL - i love your ideas for Maz's Cowprint World! Just put cowprint covers on EVERYTHING!!! it's a maz, maz, world ha ha.

    i went to a Steiner school Spring Fair today. At one kids wear stall, there were knitted nappy covers. ANother stall was for Eco-tots, a new locally made nappy and i talked with the person running it, who designed and makes the nappies. She was so relieved to talk to someone who was already using MCN i think. I can see her dilemma, making the nappies here, paying Aust wages, her nappies are more expensive that Chinese made nappies. Her product looked well made/thought out and she had one on a Barn Doll (toddler sized dolls) which was effective. I don't think it would be easy to be a WAHM.

    Lil P - OSFA nappies - some bubs don't fit them at the start (newborns), some bub s don't fit them at the end of the range (nearer TT-ing stage). I think the term "one size fits most" is a more accurate way of describing it.

    Greenkids are sold as OSFA for sure.
    the FUNTIMES (prints) are reccomended for day time use only (shorter wears).

    have you stripwashed it? (in case it has a build up of wash detergent, or petroleum based nappy rash cream).

    Put it in the drier on hot to reseal the PUL?

    how is the fit around the legs? how is the rise?

    WHERE exactly does it leak?

    WOTBB: night nappy wot dh put on her, his fave the KK AIO, i fell asleep after our day out at the fair, fed her to sleep mainly asleep myself.

    Morning!

    Gigi - yeps, facewashers weren't going to do the trick, it was horrid. Really I think that putting him over the loo and LSing him would have worked! (think ... clay consistency...)

    Would you believe he slept until 8:30am? 4:30pm until 8:30am. Wow . And the nappy/soaker lasted.

    Lee - what size/colour/condition? Have you tried the classifieds here?

    WoHB - BBB and soaker

    Hey Kazbah! I can't do the classifieds here because I'm not a PM. It's a medium (black fleece or 'charcoal', red sherpa). It's in very good nic I would say, DD has probably only worn it less then 10 times. But I do find find that with washes it doesn't take sherpa long to look a bit daggy. Is Buy 4 Baby easy to use do you know? I'm off to investigate it more!

    Kaz - is there an emoticon for a green eyed monster. That's a fantastic sleep. Euan slept from 11:30 till 1:15, then took nearly two hours to get back to sleep, then woke again at 7:00. I am shattered. Dunno why either, maybe more teeth are on the way (Noooooooo).

    Lee - I've only been B4Bing for a very short time, but have noticed that you can get a better price on harder to get items like WAHM stuff. Although I saw a BP (shell/cover only) that was up to $20 + postage the other day, which is just stoopid considering how much they cost new.

    Gigi - I'd be a bit worried too about glass in the car, you're not being silly or obsessive at all. If they do the seats before the window, they'll cover everything with plastic sheeting first though.

    Oh bugger, I've been fakking him to sleep for the last hour, put him down and he's looked up at me with big blue cheeky bloody wide awake eyes. It's gonna be one of those days, I can tell.

    WOHB: BP

    Gigi I paid $80 for it. I think they had them for $89 but as it was the last day we got a bit more off.

    Maz that crow is about again hey...?

    Gee Kaz what a huge sleep! Were you tempted to give him a prod?

    Lee I think sometimes B4B is a bit hit and miss. Things will always sell I think but I guess you have to be prepared to not make much. I have never expected to get back more than half of what I paid for them.
