Cloth Nappies #156.

ive pmed you eugenia :)

Hi megan what a great stash for a newbie lol that bub will be the envy of all cloth newborns hehe.
You can definately use your BBB for nights.

DS sometimes wears them with both boosters and woolies (i prefer them for night). he is 3 months 6 kg
and
DD often wears them with an extra bamboo booster inside and a trifold on the outside and she lasts the whole night (11kg).

but yes i use woolies.

Only comfy to use them after about 6-8 weeks when DS started to wiggle in bed before then he would get compression leaks though.

Megan - welcome! I'm new too and I am sure by the time I type this there will be loads of experience chickys giving you some great advice! :)

I got my bubblebubs bot wash in the post! Yay smells like cinnamon - Im going to want to eat him up - wake up little man I have dried fluff waiting to be played with!

tan DD still fits into ittis medium and is 12 kg!!!

Yay! Thanks! Now just to wait and wait!

Thanks PP. I better get looking at some wool covers as well!

I need to get some liners and wipes as well. What do others use? Flushable or cloth liners? As for wipes, I was thinking of just going to spotlight and getting some material and cutting it up? What material would be best?

Thanks Tanstar :) I was looking at the bubblebubs wash the other day. So many yummy sounding smells.

Megan - we mainly use microfleece liners.
I did just that and cut up material from Spottys. I think 50 cost me about $3-4 lol.

I have just bought flushables (imse vimse) ones to try for out and about and DD has been having toxic poos and i hate carrying the sloosh around for hours... and sick of throwing out my MF liners lol.

I have wool covers and dont use them very much, i prefer shorties and longies. I love llamajama ones. They are such good quality. BUt i have also knitted some myself - if you have the time (i did them while pregnant to pass time lol).. and used 12 ply wool and they also work a treat!

i would suggest upsizing a little with your wool covers for the newbie as esp over night nappies can get a bit bulky and you find the nb or smalls just dont reach all the way over. day on less bulky nappies are fine though.

HTH

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPUNKY MATEAUZ, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOOOOOO (yodelling very very croakily and out of tune but with gusto).

To a very special little man who delights and amazes all who meet you, may you have much happiness in your life, and continue to bring tears of joy to your incredible mum. You have so much to be proud of Maz.

Right, back to sailing down my river of snot (*wails* will it ever stop?). LOL, can you tell I rarely get sick - I haven't had a proper cold in years and years and I'd forgotten how cruddy they are. Whinge whinge, moan moan. You'd think someone had cut my arm off or something.

WOHB: a lovely, soft squishy NEW KK in olive windpro. I couldn't wait until night-time. It has a sort of chequered texture and my DP said that it looks like one of our teatowels. Hmph. (Although I didn't tell him he's right LOL)

Eugenia - i did the best i could with my little model in her bubblebubs large lol
This pic is with it on the tightest setting . You can see it comes well up above her waist.

and this pic is at the largest setting... i am not stretching it in this pic, i am just pulling it so the front is flat on her belly so would still have stretch in it. Sorry i couldnt get a better photo lol but everytime she ran it would fall off hehe.

She is 11 kg :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DEAR MAT!!

And happy birthing day to you Maz! You truly are an inspiration and I hope that despite everything you have been through this past year - you are able to relax and enjoy your little boy's special day!

i have a large bubblebubs for sale in the classifieds if anyone is interested!

How many mcns do i need if i only want to wash every 2 days?
In melbourne, in winter.

Hi Megan, welcome! Wow your PG is flying along :D
Psssssssssst FYI theweewuns store is in Emerald ;) Look, pat and save a bit on postage :)

rayray about 30-40 allowing a day or so for drying. I really try not to use the dryer as it defeats the purpose when you end up with a huge power bill.

EUGENIA
If your DD wears LONGIES in winter, you won't have to worry about clothes fitting her nappy!

Have you heard of FLONGIES? they are long pants made out of polar fleece, with a hidden shorts layer made of microfleece. Like longies, they are also half clothing/half nappy waterproof cover. that is sewing on the sewing machine, not knitting. Another idea for winter, for you. There are patterns at Fairy Fabrics - or you can just fold a pair of her size 4 trackies in half, lie them on fabric adn cut around for your template.
do it a second time, but the length of shorts, for the inner layer.

what size is your DD in Happy Heiny?
i will look up 16+kg nappies for you.
Fuzzi Bunz pockets,
Kester Kovers AIO XL (custom)
and Happy Heiny XXL
is all i can think of, from memory.

and XL bear bottoms for a fleece pullup cover (over fitteds)

PINK PALACE
good on you for working out the cause - that 's half the battle isn't it?

i stood in the supermarket laundry aisle looking at wash liquids last night, trying to remember which ones you use, Green Care had very little info to go on, the other two Amolin and ?, both said "some fragrance".

are you wanting thr mandy mac for Ethan or Ashley? if it's for Ashley, i would check the RISE before buying.

MISSY MOO - glad the getting back together thing is working out for you

MUM to Squidgee
- itti bitti's aio are sold as a trim, day nappy with a low rise
- we've had night time success with bulky, high rise night nappies (no leaks)
as bob says
"you need the right tool for the job".
GL with the carpet! Please tell me it's NOT white carpet!! we have white carpet in the bedrooms, my worst nightmare is bilby pooping on it!
Tell dh a facewasher under or over a dodge mcn, can help you get them to the toilet room safely. sometimes i just grab an old cotton prefold to do this (and i'm only walking over crummy lino, i just hate clenaing up poop!).

FALGUNI - got any action shots of the mini la las? i wanna see a la la on the lu lu! i thought you would lurve their fabrics. Have you looked on twinkle lily lately? :wink:

BRIGSY"S GIRL
cowprint nappies?
blueberry have them in wraps, pockets and trainers
happy heiny do a polyPUL pocket and a cottonPUL pocket (buy the poly one)
i'm sure i saw some farmyard wetbags recnetly, even featuring cows! if only i could remember where!

MAZ - what PERFECT timing for your cow bling nappy to arrive!!! no time to wash it, no way.

TANSTAR - weight wise, mediums sound right. what is his rise compared to the rise for a medium itti? If you're ever unsure about what size to buy, email the site, tell them your bub's measurements adn they'll advise you which size to buy.

wotbb: lavendar Swaddlebees large pocket w velour inner

Thanks Gigi - how do I measure his rise hun?

WOJB: Brown Hautes.

Thanks for the pics PP. Unfortunately, and I hate to be such a fusspot, I've found hook and loop just doesn't work for her. There is always a big gape around the tummy. In her side snap nappies we always do the tummy up at least one snap tighter than the legs. Oh well, there's no hurry at the moment. I'll have a look around and see what some of the WAHMs have to offer.

OMG Raven - a STORE with CLOTH! Only 30 mins from my HOUSE! OOOHHH NOOOOOOOOOO....I thought online was bad enough but now that I know that I MIGHT have to drag mum there! :rofl:

I need to be bent over and spanked because I just got an auriel on ozebaby for Ruby. Size 2 so it won't fit her for about a year but I couldn't leave it there being red and all...DH is going to go nuts :rofl:

Tan where do you live?

I'm in Burwood East lovely! The Auriel sounds lovely! Just checked them out I haven't seen them before, man I'm such a noob.

oh bugger Eug - perhaps try the other ones that Gigi suggested then?
I love my bubble bubs. lol

Gigi -Looking for ashley . Atm she gets away with a boosted BBB and some other WAHM Night nappies (which have a much higher rise on them) for nights. To technically i dont need any more lol but hey it doesnt hurt to look.

Yeah i dont use amolin, the other one was purity. And yes green care has hardly any info., For now will stick to my soapnuts i feel :)

Thanks :) It is flying along now. I'm sure he'll be here and I still wont be used to the fact that I was pregnant!
I actually bought some prefolds from the weewuns a few weeks ago. I put in the order as pick up and she called that afternoon and delivered them to my door instead! Talk about service!!

Yes, Gigi, that's one reason why I want to learn to knit better as I want to make a few longies for her to wear in winter. THere's some beautiful ones out there but I'd like to try to save some money by making my own (at least for stay-at-home-in ones) plus it will give me something to do in the evenings whilst watching TV. Flongies also sound great, I'll have to look them up.

She does have XL Happy Heinys but they aren't the best fit, good enough for wearing around the house but, again, a big gape around the tummy and the crotch is too wide so I don't put them on her until all the others are dirty or on the line.

GL whenever I change DS, because he does huge nb poos, I always lay a terry flat down first, that way when I'm done I just pick up the four corners and throw the whole lot in the bucket. No mess.

OMG I'm so sick of reading "Snow Bears", Sophia loves it but I've been doing it all morning :wall:

oh eugenia!
Your girl might be the one i am looking for lol.
I made some 12 ply shorties and unfortunately i did them too big.
They are quite big and would go over a night nappy for sure.....

pm me your dd's measurement and if they fit they are yours! :)

BG Swaddlebees also do (or did) a cow print.

WONB still sleeping so the same prefold (boosted)
WOSB Mother Ease AIO (good size, side snaps but soooo wide)

No Way!!!! Why didn't someone tell me??? Is it a proper shopfront Sam? Can you just rock up? I tried to google it, whitepages it and look on the weewuns website and it's not listed. Can you please PM me? Ta.

OK. so I decided to call IB cause I'd put in two confusing orders, and I find out it's cheaper to get a 6 pack. So I did instead! God I love nappy shopping!

I can't find any out there of either, Kitten. I can only find swaddlebee AIO. Can you point me in the direction of who might sell them please? Ta.

What are Mandy Mac Boo's like? I'm thinking I might try them. Anyone?

weewuns has swaddlebees fitteds, not sure if they are the ones you are after...

rayray, I could only find the $44 ones, and wasn't going to buy them. but now I've found more. Thanks.

wardy
the swaddles be often have different nappies in their us outlet store
Postage is $$ ($40 I Think) but you can oftenpick them up for $12. SO if you bought 4 + post it would be about the same as getting 2 in aus ??

if that makes sense

PP I've PMd you.
