Cloth Nappies # 153

[Visitor8]

Thanks girls I will do the bicarb thing once a week since I have such a large rotation

I love hemp...i don't find it too much less absorbent than bamboo...hmm.

Oh no at the nappies falling apart! I'll have to do a good check of my bamboozles, I think they're fine (apart from the elastic on the one I've had since Riv was newborn), but I'll have a close look.

Trust me - you'd know if they were hon. The terry is literally disintegrating. There's a base weave in the fabric and the terry is woven into that, and it is coming out in clumps.

Someone had some dodgy bamboo arrive a while ago with holes in it, maybe if the companies are using the same supplier it is from the same bad batch?

Ali - could be the case with the ittis, but not the bamboozles - ittis are bamboo fleece and bamboozles are bamboo terry.

Teru - as often as you need to. Do a hot wash with no washing deterget and the TINIEST drop of dishwahing liquid, and wash then rinse until there are absolutely no bubbles in the rinse water. If there is little enough it take my machine 4 rinses but soetimes i accidentally put a bit more in and have to do a few more rinses.

PP nah they are snaps.. and they are ok so far.....

[PinkPalace]

i find with soapnuts you dont have to strip wash as often...

they are on sale at the moment... i am weighing up if i buy more or go back to normal sensitive detergent??? i find in the heat they dry up very quick and in stead fo 5-6 washes i am lucky to get 2

PP try putting some water in a sealed container with them and keep them inside a cupboard. The water will evaporate before they dry out.

Sooooo tired....... Em is up to mischeif again. Yawn.

[teruteru]

PP- r u talkin abt the 2 for 1 sale for soapnuts? i reckon even if u do use the detergent for summer, u could always stock up to use in winter?? in the end, even with 2 washes its still cheaper isnt it??

[PinkPalace]

teru - yep tahts it!!

i will try the water trick

i still have about 300gm left do you think if i ordered another 1kg it would dry out or be ruined before i use them?
they last for ever!

hmm tough question...if 1kg is spose to last 1yr then it should b ok? im thinkin if u put in water, it might turn mouldy??
best is if u email the supplier or something...

Well I'm not sure what is going on with DS but he didn't want his nappy on him this afternoon, and would sit on the potty but wouldn't do anything, and then when he got off, I'd try to get him to put his nappy back on - nope didn't want any part of it... so he went outside for a while after he had peed on the rug and then came back inside - still no nappy allowed on... then he peed on the rug again... and we got him on the potty and congratulated him, even though nothing went in there it was all on the rug, and then I was able to get him in some training pants, which he promptly shiat in and it went all down his leg and then on the rug - AGAIN.. my poor rug.. lol

Soooo not sure if this is the start of something... or if he just had an aversion to the chocolate itti bitti I was trying to put on him (See.. I made it nappy related !!)

Maz - its ok - I trust Jodi too - she's a queenslander - automatic approval

WOAB: Chocolate itti bitti - finally!
WOMB: ummm.. itti bitti I think.. had her in a WC before and she peed on me .. its been a very big pee and poo day here today
