TT is very doable with just undies on. At daycares for example, when they start tt children, they put them in undies and take them to the toilet every hour. They have them sit there for as long as possible. You do get quite a few accidents, but you have to be ready for it. Unfortunately there's no way around that. They need learn what doing wees and poos are, and a lot of the time they need to do one in their undies, or on the floor to realise. When we started tt Nina, she did poos on the toilet just fine, but wouldn't do a wee on the toilet for about 2 weeks. It was a nightmare, as there were lots of accidents. I was persistent because she was showing the signs of being ready, but just too scared to do a wee on the toilet. Once she did her first wee on the toilet, she never went back.
Each child is different. Just wait until you feel she is ready. Don't worry about her age, she could be 3 and still in nappies, that's ok.
Gigi - I allowed for 6 nappies per day + a few emergencies, but I found i gave him quite a bit of nappy free time cos it was so warm so we didn't use all of them. We took our 20L nappy pail and put all the dirties in there. The bucket did smell a bit ripe when lifting the lid but it didn't smell at all with the lid on. We were mindful of space as well because we had the dog with us and very limited room in the car but it all seemed to fit well. All the unused nappies were in a suitcase with Jett's clothes and mine so it all packed away quite neatly! Oh and congrats on your little calendar girl!
Jodi - It's a real sense of achievement when you manage to go away and continue to use your MCNs as per usual. It really does show that they are just as convenient as sposies.
Raven - about 'facilities'!! One way of putting it! I hadn't thought about a Myer sack, but I did think a giant wetbag with a zip closure would be a good idea. I just don't own one and not sure if they even make them. I think they need to seal well judging on the fermenting stench coming from inside the bucket! Especially in the heat.
I think 4 days would be my limit before they need to be washed!!
It sure is mummy tummy. I was very proud of myself for taking them. It was absolutely no hassle at all.
On our way home we stopped in at Townsville for some lunch, and a lady approached me asking if the cover on Emily's butt was a maz-a-licious cover I was shocked, and very proud to say yes indeed it was
Ahh Well done Mummy tummy!! thats a great effort camping!
With regards to TT i am finding th nickers a bit big on annika as well , thank god they dont need to contain anything LOL
As for us.. we are back in Cloth woo hoo, missed the big bum
On a pooh note, i didnt get my night off last night, ex couldnt handle Mj for longer then 3 hrs.. so put a screaming halt to my plans for the night ...
thank god that my parents, they are willing to help me out so i can get out and enjoy myself.
Just out of curiosity, what is the do-ability of nappycakes?
Seems a little out of place as we mainly use cloth, BUT what if it's directed at cloth more-so than sposies?
Just something that crossed my mind, but would like your honest opinion.
pp- i dont know much abt them, just came across them when i was lookin up something. thought it was mainly sposies but could wrong...but wt if u included really basic mcns & kinda make it a new mother, mother2b starter package with nappies & other bits n pieces??
Big rant! In the past week 4 of my nappies have gone! Im so mad I have checked everywhere and sadly the last place they were was on the line! I cant believe it! Grr vent over
