Maz, I really like the GreenKids pockets. The velcro issue is only an issue at naptimes, when pretty much any mischief that can happen, happens, because mischief is preferable to sleep for a toddler.
So I just put on pants for sleep times.
I'm at work - apparently the monster yukky poos are still continuing at home... DH is doing a SAHD thing today with DS while I work... (and yes I am working -on lunch!!)
He is using the flats - i showed him how to fold them last night - and then he did it this morning, and DS knocked it over and he couldn't remember how to put it back the way I showed him.. haha.. was pulling his hair out apparently!!!! hahahahahahaha!!!!
The poor man.. This is after a huge fight with me this morning and me storming out of the house.. haha!!!!
WOAB: Flat.. hehehehehehe
WOMB: BumG or MD (daycare)
DP never could figure out how to fold flats (I even printed diagrams) and he refused to use our flats on the change table anymore because they're too scratchy. I agreed, and since they started falling apart within a week of using them I emailed the company and they're going to replace them! Reverse fluffy mail... I send them my not-so-fluffies and they better send me soft, squishy fluffies in return.
Arimeh - lol! love your wicked ways!
well I have done 2 pretty much full days out in cloth & had NO leaks or anything. I think I had at least 2 poos I think a sposie would have leaked with so im pretty happy.Emailed itti bitti & she offered to send me 3 more lges at the "seconds" price. so gonna grab those.
I havent used flats sucessfully, probably because I dont have very many decent covers. Do you use your fleecies and woolies on a flat? And we had a refluxy bub in Em so they were always covered in spew when she was little.
Just changed an Em pooplosion. I have no idea what she managed to eat but that was one huge poo!!
Never dismiss the power of a flat - 3 hours napping - and no leaks.. he must of put it on ok then.. lol
Going to list most of my PUL covers I think - just not a fan of any PUL cover that isn't a motherease!!! I'm spoilt I know.. (for some reason - all the others leak on me - I'm just a spaz at putting them on me thinks.. )
Then I'll get me some more motherease.. a christmas present.. just for ME.. hehehehe
FJ - are you happy with that offer from them? they just replaced mine with the ones that I had ordered (and chucked in some boosters I think?)
Gotta get back to work - so sick of this new invoicing system - make it easier will it boss? YEAH RIGHT MY FAT BUTT ITS EASIER... grrrrrr...
Anyhoo...
WOAB: STILL A FLAT!!! MWAH HA HA HA HA
WOMB: BumG or MD - still at day care - cos I'm still at work..
Hello girls,
Geez, I can't keep up with you. You're such a chatty lot! So please forgive me if I forget to comment on some things.
Gigi, you're so not an ungrateful cow. You are reacting the way most people would. You are frustrated and irritated. I have been much more ungrateful to DH over much less... I also know what you mean about the photos. I'm usually the one taking photos, so most of them are of DD and DH. And if he does take a photo of us, I usually look horrible (one eye half closed, looking kinda stoned, looking down with 4 chins,... he never thinks to tell me to change something and then take another shot. He thinks they are good photos..)
Alioops, Maya never does roll-off poos. i wish she did. They are always creamy in consistence. Sometimes downright runny. And she's almost 18 months (still BFed).
Heidi, congrats on your pregnancy!!!
Was it Ness with the lovely clean kitchen photo and the gorgeous girl sitting on the counter??? I'm jealous of the clean kitchen and your daughter is jsut sooooo adorable.
Talking about clean, on the weekend, I finally cleaned up my home office. It ahs only been about 1 1/2 years. There were things piled so high on the desk, I couldn't even see the desk anymore (and it's a big around the corner type desk). I can finally see the desk and the floor!!!! I'm so excited. DH tackled the spare bedroom which had become a dumping ground for him when I went to Germany recently for my brother's wedding (my family lives in Germany). So the place is really getting there...
I can't remember who made a comment about my mum coming to stay... But the thing is, when my mum is here, I'm not allowed to pay for ANYTHING anyway. She insists on paying for all the groceries, etc. So saying "if you wanna use disposables, then you've gotta pay for them" just wouldn't work, as she would do that anyway... I just had really hoped to get her support with the whole cloth thing and maybe even convince her that it's a great thing and very cute,... but that will be hard to do if it's so smelly. But now that it's not raining so much anymore and not so humid, it doesn't seem quite so bad. I can leave the door that goes from the laundry to the backyard open, with just the screen door closed, so it gets lots of fresh air and it's not so smelly. I have only jsut made my breastpad contraption, so will tell you how that works out.
I have another question: I think you girls were right, Maya is teething. She seems to have very nasty poos. Her bottom is so red and a little swollen. I never used to struggle with nappy rash apart from once, when it was really bad and persistent. I have a "miracle cream" my friend sent me which worked well back then. It is pretty lotiony, not a barrier cream. Can I use it sparingly with cloth nappies? Would it be safer to get flushable liners to protect my nappies?
Also, I have noticed that Maya's bum gets red if she's been in cloth over night (BBB with wool cover). Should I get microfleece liners to keep her bottom drier?
WOMB: nothing exciting, pastel green Peapod, but will need a change soon.
