Cloth Nappies #157

[wardygirl]

Is it wrong that I can't even remember what I've bought today?

I know that I've got two of Maz's Swaddlebee's. I think I've got the last one of Mantarays... BBH? I think that's what it was. I've ordered 3 from Genesaforge and 3 from Bits for Bots.... and now I can hear iishfly calling!

Oh and I ordered two of Maz's covers from last night's stocking, only to wish Mateauz happy birthday. It wouldnt have been wrong of me not to celebrate with him!

ETA: 3 iish fly nappies fell into my cart and Doh! I pushed the wrong buttons and now I've bought them.

You girls are evil putting me onto all these new nappy sites. *sigh*

PM sent Maz

now, a question about baby beehinds - i know i have read somewhere the differences between BBB and BBH - but which ones are going to be better for a girl? how does the sizing go on a newborn if they're one size fitteds...

[Freya]

I have a bunch of one size hemp fitteds for this bub BG and they snap down in the front and then snap all the way in. I thought they might be a tad big but I spent an hour snapping and resnapping them. They snap down to a pretty small size and newborns tend to grow a ton in the first few weeks so she should fit them fine in no time (if not from birth depending on size and shape!)
I think bamboo's are more absorbent but take a bit longer to dry, which is why I got hemp ones. You can boost them too if need be.

Im trying so hard not to buy nappies............this is a real bad addiction to have

[Visitor7]

bg - I have used bamboo fitted on both my girls and love them. No problems with gaping, drying time etc. But then again I live in Cairns where we always have sunshine

kitt3n - of course you need to buy more nappies from me

[briggsy's girl]

my DH LIKES this addiction! he can see how it will benefit his bubba so it's fine! i'm trying to be a good girl - but it's really not working!

i have heard good things about babybeehinds, and want to get some (for home, i think fitteds or flats with covers are going to be more appropriate than AIO's.

will see what everyone comes back with in regard to what they like (esp those that have girls!) - if it's balanced i might get a couple of each...

[Freya]

Hey Jodi, you use the BBH/B on the girls, do you find they fit Nina ok? Jett and Nina are similar in weight and size so if they fit her fine they may just fit my two well. I could always just buy a few more of them for the boys and ask Maz nicely if she can rummage up some large covers for moi....... then all my boys will look fabulous

[christy]

I use BBB & BBH. Personally I love them. I loved the hemp ones, but they do get stinky & need strip washes more frequently. The bamboo ones are very absorbent and fantastic. I still have 6 BBB that I use with Jovie. She's almost outgrown them and is over 2 yrs old and about to start TT.

[briggsy's girl]

awesome - sounds like Bamboo might be the go (though i might grab a couple of hemp as well - i'm becoming a bit of a "try everything" girl!)

i'm gonna hve to keep an eye out for bling - i NEEEED cow bling!

[*Efjay*]

BG I would get 2 or 3 BBB's. they wont fit a new newborn but should fit from about 3 or 4 weeks.
OMG are you having a girl?? I so thought it would be a boy. Im always wrong though LOL.
The rule I think all new nappy buyers should stick to is to only get a couple of each thing to try & then buy up big once you know it suits YOUR baby.

Im looking at the new beetlebum carriers but I think DH would kill me if I spent $160 on one. But then I am also thinking, what he don't know won't hurt him LOL

eta - I dunno if there will be any cow bling for a little while, last time I spoke with Michelle the cows were killing her embroidery machine.

Pink, funny you should say that about your water, I have noticed that we seem to be doing well on water use & being on tank water we have to take notice. But I thnk my new front loader is saving heaps of water so I am happy.

[Kitt3n]

Is it wrong that I can't even remember what I've bought today?

PMSL!! I love that feeling!!!!!!

BG - I have a cushie tushie's cow print, in minkee, it gorgeous but too big for the baby just yet. Maybe Beatix or Ali can get you one on back order? Oh and Matisse has been in BBB's from about 1.5 weeks in the newbornfold, girl bits are all good! LOL. I just take out the smaller booster for now. Congrats on the girl factor too!!!

Jodi - LOL yes I know, pming you ...... i think, oh god do i really need them? I have 2 friends who i am trying to convert, i am sure they will, i'll see if they wanna grab some too first

Aricyn - WOW happening birzday! Now just to make it to 21 without sending mummy bonkers

Eugenia - i looked at GF too but ws able to refrain myself. Still dreaming about the "just hatched" one I saw on bubblebubs though..... should i?

FJ - no, what they dont know wont hurt them. Imagine if half our our husbands read throgh this thread? They would think we are all a bunch of loonies and send us off to MCNA meetings (MCN annonymous) ..... or cut all internet banking access!!!

Question - Cushie tushies - is there a secret fold for medium, or just like the BBB's for when they outgrow the newborn fold? Also, has anyone seen the new steam washing machines? Not that I need a new one, but gos its so cool, but wondering how it would go with MCN's? I have decided its my next one... better win lotto first though, $2,500.00!!!!

wohb: magicall - cant believe it, 2 magicalls have done her overnight!!!

[Visitor7]

2 magicalls overnight kitt3n, that's great! As you know, I have heeeeaps of bbh to spare I've been adding more AIO's to my stash with Emily, so I can spare some.

I've already said it to you, but HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY ARICYN!! Be good to your mother!

Imagine having to go to a mcn annonymous meeting. It would be so much fun. I think it would be worse than coming in here

gigi - thanks for that. Mostly Nina insists on wearing undies to bed at night. And considering how stubborn she is, she usually gets her own way. But we haven't had any accidents yet
I have Nina in 2-3 size undies, and one particular brand are quite small and don't fit her too well. When she's awake I'll have a look at what brand they are let you know.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the breastfeeding top.

[briggsy's girl]

okies - another vague sounding moment for me!

booked in at hospital yesterday and was given a list of what we need to bring for baby - when it came to nappies, the nurse said no nappies except what we need for the day we leave as they provide cloth for monitoring output, but she did say we need snibs (which i'm assuming are the little snappy things and i already have a few of them) - but she also said to take waterproof covers. when SIL had their kids at the other public hopsital locally, they provided them with a platic covers sorta like prefolds that just wrapped around like a nappy - but i've never seen them anywhere - any ideas on what sort of waterproof covers we should use. obviously i have a few (maybe more than a few) Maz covers and was sent some other newborn covers just recently - but i'm not sure i want to use them in hospital. what would you all do? would you take the "good" covers (DH will wash while i'm in hospy, i know that) - or find an alternate in case they go walkabouts? DH has said we'll have some of the yummy covers for visiting hours, but he's not sure about the rest of the time (esp seeing they were HUGELY hectic yesterday!)

[wardygirl]

Briggy's girl - they're called Snibs and I'm sure I have a packet of them somewhere. So before you go shopping t o get them, let me have a look please. Cause I dont' need them any more. No more bambinos for me, and Ty's way to big for them. I never used them on him but bought them cause I thought I might. If I can't find them you can often get them at a good chemist.

For those want to try BBH !!!!

im doing a JAN specials .. they are groovy and you will love the gifts !!

also doing coulored wools for $17 ea !!

I think BBH rock because the absorb soo much , and BG for a girl they are great .. during the day Gab is in a fitted with the small booster and nap time is the large booster folded up so all the bamboo is right under her hoo haa so when she wees it drinks it up straight away , i also fold the frills around the legs inwards so a pooplosion cant escape... here is a link to a NB fold on Gabriella

she is about 6wks in this pic (i think ..) but i do agree and inform the mamas that they can be too big for smaller birth weight babes .. i used prefolds for about 6weeks

[*charmalea*]

BG - SNIBS are the plastic over pants that do up like a nappy , like you said snappies are the clip thingys that do the nappy up .. kwim..

snibs you can get from chemists .. try googlieng them ... i jave never seen them irl .. but heaps of ppl tell me they are onlie (online chemists or in chemist stores ...
hth

[briggsy's girl]

will definitely order some before the end of the month Lea - just has to get through today and work out how much money DH is leaving me with - finding out the color BEFORE going to the baby shop today might have been a VERY bad idea... Daddy was scoping out the colored teddy's last time we was there


ETA: thanks Lea - will have a look at the chemist warehouse online and see what they have - i hate going place to place!

[briggsy's girl]

damn, nothing at the chemist warehouse online

found reference to snibb on the eenee website - and they do have them - but they're $10 each! anyone know of another place where i can get them online - but maybe a little cheaper (i have no issue paying that if it's the going price, but seeing i have NFI about pricing i'll throw it open to you ladies!)

[*Efjay*]

bg I have a heap of snibs that are new & unused that were sent to me free. if you like I will pass them on to you as I never actually used them all.
