    Rhyb - Instructions are in my sig for ordering

    Anna - If you want to try liquids the green care is ok I think. I am about to try the ecostore. I have tried the Aware a few years ago and I found it didn't wash anything very well, but they may have improved their formula since then.
    Do you still have the bag your Peapods came in? You can use that as a wetbag for short trips and if you have more than one then you can keep them in your nappy bag and always have somewhere for a few nappies.

    Em will go back into cloth today since I have strip washed. The tea tree smell is gone from all the nappies so I think all the residue is gone from the nappies. I hope that is what caused it!!

    Gigi - Nah not nesting, My parents are coming up just after we get back, I need to get the spare room cleaned out so we can put the futon in there for them to sleep, and the cat is coming up around then too so she needs the laundry all set for her. I have so much washing to sort and put away!!

    PP - they should be easy to take in, just undo the seam and sew it a few more stitches in if it has side seams. You can tack the excess to the front or back so it doesn't get in the way.

    With TTing - It is much easier when they can let you know, and even if they have already done it, put them on the loo as soon as they tell you. If you are not sure if that is what they are telling you, put them on the loo. They will soon figure it out. Have a mop and bucket ready to go at all times, and keep the potty on hard floors. If they want to play with it then let them, Sarah used to put her toys in it and push it around. Have access to both potty and toilet for them, sometimes they prefer one over the other. Let them watch you use the toilet. And dont pressure them, accidents happen, if they are getting stressed about it, stop for a few weeks and try again. Most of all, Make it FUN!! Kids love toilet paper!!

    WOTB: Sposies, next change will be something cloth!!

    Anna - dont worry about a wet bag - Ive got a spare jam tots one here for ya

    Ali - oh we are to much in sink with thinking me thinks

    gigi - Im one of these mum's who doesnt try to control the whole TT situation. I just let Vy take control...in my eyes it is her body, not mine so I have no idea when she needs to wee or pooh for that fact. I NEVER make a deal out of wetting herself or missing....I just clena it up whilst satying..oh next time we'll get the potty wont we with a smile. I put a potty in the bathroom and she takes herself when she needs. I let her walk around bottomless on any given day (helps with her still bad scabby bum and front bum) and if I see a slight wiggle to the needing to go kind, I just say - go potty babe. She has now upgraded herself to the big toilet and had left the potty just to do pooh's in. She's also discovered the joy of toilet papaer and has to use it everytime ...Ive done it this way with all 3 kids but in saying that it might not work for someone else. I get worried about back lash expecially with Wilhelm so I have never tried pushing it. I as an adualt dont feel comfortable being pushed, tricked and blackmailed with treats into something so why would I do that to my child??

    anywho...are big thing atm is keepign the night time nappy one...we've beent aking it of and throwing it on the floor through the night...only one accident so far *fingers crossed*

    Daddle doo had nickers in her store that are lined with bamboo for training...i think thats a fantastic idea.

    ok off to wrap some pressies before I hit the post office tomorrow...I can see me spending at least $100 in postage

    OH and Jed now decideds he wants to go chriostmas shopping with the kids NEXT SATURDAY :OMG: is he for real!!!!!!

    Maz - We have that issue too with Sarah's nappies, and sometimes Poo paintings . Try putting the potty in her room for night time when she is taking her nappy off. She might want to use it which is why she is taking the nappy off IYKWIM. It does help with the sleeping nude and reduces washing Put it on top of a waterproof table cloth or some PUL to help with messes too

    I had better go do some sorting and get this place ready for visitors.

    do you think you should be putting them in training pants? or is cloth nappies enough?
    i have to lift DD on the toliet anyhow so i will be taking her nappy off?

    but do the pants make a difference?

    also i would say 48hrs for buy4 baby? i usually say this is the timeframe for my auctions to be contacted or the item will be relisted. saves the stuffing around.

    well DS did a mega poo today so the bbb inserts are a soaking!!! ewwwww

    hmmm yeah, i always try and contact seller immediately but i have been waiting a week with no response for two auctions. annoying. Anyhoooo....

    I thin kthe idea of training pants is that they can easily pull them on and off themselves..... but i am no expert, we are a long way from there! lol

    your little one isnt that much younger than my DD falguni! and DD is starting to show signs now

    I might pop out the shops and buy some normal undies for her tomorrow and give those a go.
    I mean she knows how to get the nappies off anyhow (as i find them on the floor! lol)
