    Question

    Sorry to hijack your thread girls, but as a cloth newbie, would you recommend I buy an AIO or a pocket nappy?

    I want to buy 2 Minilala ones tonight and am struggling to make a decision. Or should I just buy 1 of each?

    TIA.

    Shoegal - Depends on the AIO style. I use mainly AI2, ie the booster snaps on and that is it. I find stuffing pockets to be a pain because it is harder to get the booster flat so as to avoid leakages.

    Nana - I know that most mail from NQ to Melbs takes 5 business days so depending on where it is coming from it could still arrive tomorrow, but if it is not there by Wednesday then it would be APs fault.

    Maz - Can Vy get on the toilet by herself? We leave the toilet door open and the light on for Sarah when she can be trusted to not get up and muck around all night. So only occassionally.

    Sarah and Anna - Sarah is at Daycare on Mondays and Tuesdays but any day suits me. Sarah I have to drop by your place this week with your stuff anyway. I still haven't got paperwork organised yet though coz Yvonne has been run off her feet and we havent had time to sit down and do paperwork. Last night our power flickered in the storm but that was all.

    Gigi - There is no such thing as TTing late. It is much better for her to be in nappies for as long as she needs them than it is to try and TT too early. Sarah literally just clicked and that was it.

    Em is back in cloth!!!! I shall see how she looks after her sleep and hopefully she is all clear!! While she was in sposies we were lathering her in zinc cream so she is much clearer, but still a little red.

    I am halfway through emptying out the spare room. We need to move the futon in there for mum and dad to come up as soon as we get back. I have so many little 000 girl clothes that I hope I never get to use again!! And I didn't realise Em has so many clothes

    Shoegal - if you are just starting out i would buy one of each so you can test them and see what you like.

    I have waaaaaay too many nappies of all types and varieties and it has been good to see what works for one baby and not the other

    NaNa - i am also waiting woolies mail and it has been a week... you just have to it isnt lost somewhere because of the xmas rush

    Ali - woohoo on back in cloth! i am the same with Ashley and clothes.. soooo many it is crazy!

    Mel - dont worry hun (btw i love that aricyn needed a nappy to fart lol). this morning has been a bit of a disaster so might be postponing it anyhow

    Yeah hon...VY can get to the toilet her self but it doesnt help when she has 2 older brothers that go through the night themselves and close the door on her she's only short and cant reach the handle yet

    so tired...need sleep................

    all's good when the mail arrives! I just needed to get things moving, put it out there that I need my fluffy mail today, and 5 minutes later the lovely posty rings the bell! Woolies for the boy and mama pads for me. I still get paranoid about mail not turning up ever since my wedding photos went missing in the post for months (and by that time I didn't want to see them anyway! )

    ok, off to lanolise some goodies... yay! (you think I need to get out more? when I get excited about this kind of thing? hmm...)
