Cloth Nappies #151.

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)

LOL Arimeh.... the only thing hubby uses the flats for is for under Jacks butt when he is changing him....

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!!

Sarah has a temp so she is in nappies JIC.

WOEB: Camo Cord CT
WOSB: Pink Camo CT

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... :wall:

Anyhoo...

WOAB: STILL A FLAT!!! MWAH HA HA HA HA
WOMB: BumG or MD - still at day care - cos I'm still at work.. :lol:

the only flats we have (and i fully intended on using them...but never have!!) are flanny flats.

Rhyb - that sounds like a great deal, as you said, even if it doesnt work out, its only $10! Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

Mel - no worries on the fluff, when you get to it its fine

Maz - great pic!

I only had 1 clean nappy today and it wouldnt fit under the skinny jeans that DD was wearing, but I really wanted her to wear her skinny jeans cause they are so cute, so we had to put a sposie on instead! So hopefully tomorrow we will be in cloth all day, if my other nappies dry.

For those that have bought IB's - how long do they normally take to deliver? I want some fluffy mail!

looks lagit ...

but for some reason i think its meant to have a extra 0... lol.. like 100.00 instead of 10..


i hope she honors it..

hey either way im happy im assuming its been on there for at least 6 hours wouldnt she notice such a massive typo??

yep was a great catch!!!

ooo that is a great catch ... hope she didn't make a typo - I'd be so :wall: if it was me making a typo like that!! lol

Kellie - thanks i still didn't post it today - was running late for work this morning and forgot to grab it :doh:

Tomorrow - I promise

What do you guys think is a good price for 2nd hand covers? I wouldn't have a clue...

Hey i just noticed your DDs name is Teleah My 11yr old sisters name is Tealah :lol:
Ummmm something nappy related DS has figured out how to undo all his velcro nappies! :doh: Hes too smart for his own good!!

Depends what kind of covers they are....

rhyb - ummm... I've got a few bummis... swaddlebees.... Baby beehinds....umm... thats all I can remember off the top of my head (I've got wayyyyy too many covers.. lol)

perhaps $6-8 depending on brand an condition mel?

Arimeh- i would sy a starting price bid wise aroun $8 maybe?

Rhyb- how do you pronouce you sisters name? I say Tee-leah. forever have to correct people who say ta-leah..

Beatrix- Teal-ah she got the funky name of the lot :lol:
Arimeh- I agree with them decent pricing without ripping yourself off

ok thanks guys. Of course, they are all in perfect conditions - they're mine!!!

Plus since I don't like using them - they just sit there.. lol

Arimeh - re selling your PUL covers
i would put the condition of them, how old, used in small or large rotation, condition of elastic, condition of closures, note any stains, marks, rips etc.

i'd put the weight ranges of them in your ad, many people don't bother to look up brand new item to work out sizing - but they do need to know this, so you might appeal to more people if you put the weight ranges of the covers.

WOTBB: night nappy combo that dh put on her - we don't have wet cot linen in the morning, so i think dh is pretty spot on about putting her nappies on correctly.

FJ - that's great, going out in MCN with Iain, and all smooth sailing. anyone would think you'd used MCN before LOL. face it baby, you're a star! only MCN virgins like me, get poop leaks for the first week, until dunderhead-me was shown how to do up the covers correctly!

Arimeh, i reckon part of the MCN journey is sorting the wheat from the chaff. Clearly, the Motherease covers rock your world, ergo, they are YOUR 'wheat'. too easy. it's quite "cleansing" to declutter your stash, of "that don't work for us" bits. although some, i keep in a "holding cell" JIC. or for certain situations. i have some MCN that arent' that great a fit for bilbs on a daily basis, but because of the fabric they're made out of, would be great if she got gastro. So i have a standby gastro stash.

we started off with bamboo terry flats. i was a big flop at flats, took some hilarious shots of my attempts!! They all went to flat heaven and got reincarnated as boosters, inserts etc. fabric too nice not to be used.

and yes ali, you can use any cover over flats, but usually a bigger size, to cope with the extra bulk. i woulnd't necessarily put leg gusset covers in that category though, cos they are designed to be used with PREFOLDS not flats. but maybe someone HAS used leg gusset covers with flats and can update me (cos i'm just theorising, don't know for sure, to be sure - imagine irish accent).

ahhh but i have learnt from your mistakes so its a good thing you had a few misshaps to start with.

OMG i am well and truly sick of spiders who seem to think that my MCN make a lovely home...

this morning pulled out a BP for Annika and in it a huge huntsman.. FFS i had poor Mj in my arms who almost got thrown accrosss the room and there me jumping around like a looney.. i still feel sick about it now...

not good! where do you keep them? Maybe you could pop them all in a basket with a lid or something?

i keep them in a cubboard in one of those canvas type stackers...

im literally terrified now to get a new nappy out and open it, its making me feel so ill..


BTW what should i no do with a BP insert umm like soaked in fly spray :lol: im thinking of a hot strip wash?

nessa - can you get your house sprayed for spiders or something? I probably would have thrown Emily if that had been me!

I'm sick of this child of mine doing poos in the middle of the night :wall: We're going through 2-3 nappies overnight as she keeps pooing. I'm thinking it's the formula.

rhyb - that was a fantastic score!

Jodi- i would but as its for sale not much point, hoping the new house is spider free!!


ahh middle if the night pooing sucks...

NEss - it is the season for crawlies. they will settle down soon! :)
We have had our house sprayed but have heaps of crawlies coming in atm being spring!

Well we survived the storm last night with only our patio roof looking like swiss cheese! the hail stones were huge!

but hot and sunny now for nappies to dry lol!
