Must file away that paw paw ointment tip, we have the red stuff but might buy some of the black stuff instead.
the yellow tube or tub (Simmons - available online at ecobabe and i see it IRL at health food shops, organic baby shops too sometimes

the black tube - i can never remember the name of it

the red tube or tub (Lucas) that's the one i avoid, as it's petroleum based.

enjoy your fluffy mail ANna!

now Kitten3 - i'm sure there was something exciting you posted recently, that i wanted to comment on (congratulate you on, something good like that), and now i can't remember! (i've had internet problems last day or so, so have read many more posts than i've replied to). Brain is on holiday to Tahitit. Wish all of me was in Tahiti - anywhere in fact than right here.

I cannot believe WILD CHILD site has a section for BABY BLING, and ANOTHER section for OOAK (one of a kind), SPECIAL nappies! What else are baby bling is not super spesh? If i see a cow bling nappy, uless it's pink, would you like me to buy it on your behalf Maz, and you fix me up later? i'm going on the law of "if i don't want it, my hyena skills might just fluke it".

FJ - your gecko one sounds great, hope you post photos of it, action shots etc, when it arrives. Are you a WC consultant now? (your signature).

PINKPALACE - when your bub fills a nappy with pastey stuff, that doesn't seem to budge, try LEAVING the nappy in the nappy bucket, come back to it a few hours later, and try again. (maz or nelle, or someone very experienced in the Affairs of Poop, told me this most excellent tip, yonks ago. Sometimes i find, in this time, the liquid in the paste has evaporated, adn the stuff is easier to move, even it kind of peels of in a thick "skin".

i never had to scrub or soak the nb nappies. Just little squirted the prefolds, (used microfleece liners too) and into the dry pail.

oh and RAVEN - what you said, about Itti bitti, being narrow in the CROTCH but fuller coverage in the BOTTOM, that makes alot of sense. i had obv not put that all together, so thanks for articulating that for me. I nominate you as The Voice of Reason.

off to see to a squealing banshee, formerly known as Tiny Bilby, she may be up for swaps too ( my ears are ringing ).

damm xmas shopping, did it today - first time i had been xmas shopping since 2005. 2006 i gave up, 2007 was too hard, 2008 - doing a pitiful amount four days before xmas.

i now TOTALLY get why some people buy WAY ahead of time and even wrap ahead of time, they are so smart - to AVOID the xmas kafuffle. the noise of the shopping centre, all the smells, chemicals, so much perfume, beeping going off everywhere, all the mobile ringtones - blimey - talk about sensory overload, god knows what little kids make of it, no wonder they hate shopping, i do too. i got so stressed, i'm not even sure that i bought the right things, just wanted to get OUT of there.

wotbb: minky pocket and cute dress that JUST covers the nappy, so much peek a boo the nappy going on, for one so NOISY, at least she LOOKS cute!

where is Queen Mabel? i hope she's not having internet isthoos where she's moved to. If you're lurking, you are missed, Your Royal Highness.

AJP - how is your "work in progress" going? thinking of you, being pregnant in the heat.
