Cloth Nappies # 153

[suse]

Hi movers & groovers...

Man there seems to be a lot of gastro going around. It's weird, but I've never actually had gastro. Like, ever. (*Knocks very, very hard on wood*). Hope the sickies are better soon.

Hmmm nappy news... Now all three of my natural bamboozles are falling apart. The coloured ones are fine, it's just the natural ones. So I'm really baffled now. I thought it might have been because one ended up in the wet bag with towels and togs after swimming once, but it's not. I'm confuzzled. I'm also running out of nappies And no, that's not an excuse to buy more LOL.

WOHB: an undoubtedly very very wet by now keester kovers AIO (he fell asleep before I could change him and he was due for a change. Oops)

[Arimeh]

thats weird Suse - are they a bamboo? Cos my ib's are still doing weird stuff (holes etc) and I think its the wee - or something. or the cats.

And lucky you that he is sleeping. My boy child has decided that he doesn't NEED a nap today. And unless I hit him over the head with something heavy - I think my chance of getting him to have one today is pretty much buckleys...

Woot woot got my BBH fitteds and they are currently going through wash #2

Now if only my itti's would hurry up and get here so I can put the boys in cloth full time

I am jealous of all your BBH i think i need to buy more hubby will kill me though!!!!

WOJB ~ i have no friggin idea!!! hubby changed him

What did you get Anna? Was it the hemp & magicalls?

Bummer the magicalls don't work well for you guys Kat & Mel. I love them. Emily had a 3.5 hour sleep in one the other day and no leaking. But I'm thinking maybe I need some girlie colours as most of the ones I own are blue and green lol

Emily had a shocking nappy rash this week, which is almost cleared up now. Poor little chicken. I've never had to deal with a nappy rash before, thankfully I had a sample nappy rash cream

mel (arimeh) - I have 2 itti bittis that are starting to fall apart. It's very weird, considering I only bought them about 2 months ago.

Just the fitted hemp Jodes.

Itti sent me a msg saying they shipped out my fluffy mail on thursday so hopefully theyll be here tomorrow yayeeeeeeee!

So now Im just waiting on my Cloth'd Up nappies and an exciting parcel full of Maz's lovely goodies! I think they are what I am mega excited about lol

[Arimeh]

oh no jodi - not yours too!!!! must be a teething thing!!!

Mazzie - two sharp smacks for you missy - jodi dobbed ya in

i am not a fan of the hemp.. i found they are a looser fit than the bamboo, and our bamboo is NOT saturated in the morning..it is wet but not sopping..where as the hemp was SOPPING!!!

oh no jodi - not yours too!!!! must be a teething thing!!!

Mazzie - two sharp smacks for you missy - jodi dobbed ya in

But it's all good, I explained that you HAD to tell me, otherwise they're be no xmas present for you!! haha

anna - let me know how the hemp goes. I only have the bamboo, so can't give advice on them.
The ittis are devine, you're going to love them. And Maz's covers are fantastic! Which is why I own about 12 of them, just for Emily And yes, I do need more.

[Arimeh]

I have the hemp one - I use it for day naps rather than any huge length of time.. I find its stiffer than my bamboo one which always stays nice and soft.. but still a good nappy

And yeah Maz, me still loves ya

We're pigging out on popcorn at the moment - me and Mr Cranky Pants...

WOAB: a lovely PINK haute
WOMB: errr.. can't remember.. some WAHM one I think?

WOJB ~ cloth'd up bamboo / maz minkee cover

Mel...good to see your son can get away with wearing PINK....

[PinkPalace]

kat - are they velcro? they look comfy on him!

welli have 2 buckets of nappies to wash but couldnt be bothered rightnow. will do in the morning i think.

i think ashley is getting too big for her large IB! oh no!! LOL NAH Ill make them fit! hehe.

i too have a hemp BBH and not a fan donating that one to a friend

[teruteru]

how often should strip wash be done? i think our nappies r due for one...how do u do one??

WOHB: magicall on trial LOL (hope they dont leak otherwise they're been shelved for a lil longer)

[Visitor8]

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

[Nelle]

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.

[alioops]

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.

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?

WOEB: Black old style basix CT

[1MOREPLZ]

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

WOAB - Blue haute
WOEB - green wonderoo
