Kitt3en put them right in front of the window. North facing ones would be better but any will do. If there is no room for the airer then just the stained ones on the windowsill or hang from curtail rail

NaNa and Arimeh, i have cancelled xmas this year, so i'll join your club.
How old does a baby have to be to have the necessary jabs for Africa NaNa? i hope you get to see your inlaws soon.
TERUTERU - places to buy elastic for sewing MCN?
i'm a learner sewer of MCN, i'm sure the proper sewers will jump in and correct the bits i get skew whiff (i hope)
- spotlight sells 6 and 9mm braided and woven swimwear elastic
i can't remember now which one you need, the braided or the woven.
but the SWIMWEAR elastic is crucial, cos mcn's get washed alot!
- mcn supplies websites have both the swimwear elastic AND the FOE (fold over elastic) that you sew on the edges of PUL (leg holes, tummy). Many PUL covers are made like this. The swimwear elastic is sewn in (hidden). The FOE is exposed.
sites include:
- bubba earth
- tiny toosh
- nappies covered
- nappyworks
- fairy fabrics
- greenbeanz (in nz)
- baby delight
well, those are SOME of the MCN supplies sites.
Kitt3n - i dry our mcn inside, on the clothes horse, no sun at all. we don't have stains. i Little Squirt the nappies as soon as they are taken off, between that and the BabyCycle on the washing machine, no stains when they come out the machine.
(I don't have access to an outside drying place and i can't get to the window easily, cos of dh's one tonne recumbrant exercise bike in the way that he refuses to move ANYWHERE ELSE grrrrrrrr - so unusual circumstances - if you CAN get access to sun, all power to that, i just can't).
KATONES - the washable wool Ecobubs side snapping pockets
i've been told the insert opening for those is at the FRONT
i once emailed to ask how wide the crotch is, can't remember, but it was too wide for my child (who suits narrow crotch nappies).
i would give teh ecobub insert a miss, and buy a bamboo trifold instead, to put inside it. mazalicious sometimes has bamboo prefolds/trifolds, or booroi (in three sizes).
wotbb: at childcare, so swaddlebees PUL pocket with organic velour inner
bilby now has size 2 -3 knickers (big sizes from bestnless and coles)
where do you find SMALLER knickers? size 2-3 was the smallest they had. She's in size 1 dress today.
i got her:
dorothy the dinosaur knickers
wiggles "
purple "
i am going to practise putting knickers on her, for an hour a day, shut all the doors in our skinny long place, have her and i in the hallway (lino) to play in the hallway ONLY, so any accidents will be confined to the hallway.
am i meant to keep the knickers, as an inducement to TT?
or put them on her to TT in?
she will not let go of the TAGS that the knickers came with (pictures of Dorothy and Wiggles of course). SHe clutches them like trading cards.

good luck to all the people hosting xmas at their home, i admire your bravery.
xmas can be pretty stressful, good luck to all of us, to get thru the day. i got dh to print all these photos out, bought cardboard and ribbon, to make xmas cards - didn't get it done, been too absorbed researching rental ads and trying to work out how to leave dh.
i'm annoyed with myself, that i didnt' contact some charities earlier, to find out how you go about being a volunterr (to cook xmas lunch for homeless people). That would have been a good distraction (to get thru xmas day, remembering there are plenty of people doing it really tough).
Tomorrow bilby will be in her xmas pinnie i made her, with a tshirt, at a playground, with me and dh, wearing a lovely xmas bib that nessa gave her for her birthday, to eat her sandwiches and banana. oh, in a green pocket nappy, and then a red pocket nappy. to match the pinnie. see, i made it MCN related.
Queen - are you off the air cos you're moving? GL with it all, HUMUNGOUS job to move house.
