I am due to go back to work in April.. and the few times i have left Jack with his nanny (yes she is an old goat!!!) he ends up in a sposies!!! NOW i refuse to buy sposies..BUT DH says we are going to have to buy sposies for her to use...thing is..i don't want him in sposies at all..how am i going to do this??? AND.....she has a thing with CURASH cream!!!! spreads it everywhere!!!! I AM SOOOOO SCARED
any suggestions??
My mum is like that too - well not as much anymore - but she was shocking. I always said that if she wanted to use sposies - she has to supply them cos I'm not supplying them when we have perfectly good nappies there to use. but I gave her bumg's and other easy pockets so she just feels comfortable with them. Although, she did say to me that she would be happy using the old style cloth - weirdo!!!
I supply bum cream to everyone with strict instructions to not use anything else. I took all the creams away from my MIL so she couldnt' use anything but what I provided ..lol
a while back,mum said something about having sposies at her place when i go back to work (she'll have granma day once a week) - i said i wasn't paying for them, and why would she want to waste money when i'd supply cloth and i'd be the one doing the washing. this was when i was about 6 weeks. fast forward 14 weeks, and now mum is not only keen on using mcn's, she sat with me the other night asking questions, scoping out sites, and "helping" me to order nappies! i think she's had a bit of a turn around since seeing some of the stash i'm building up! she even asked what spesh washing requirements there were in case bubba were having a bad day nappy wise... mentioned having a stash of flats and spare covers just in case - talk about a back flip!
i know she'll respect me and only use the creams i ok as she raised me with my super sensitive skin and knows that even simple stuff that is "normal" for a bubba may not be appropriate for my baby
it's been a big turnaround - and i'm kinda glad - i wouldn't have argued with her on the sposies front, prolly just wouldn't have let "granma" day happen - given my dad is a night shift worker that sleeps most of the day and wouldn't get out to my place, without that one day a week, he wouldnt see his grandaughter much - their loss...
Anna I have 3 NN. 2 Sandmans and one Mirabai which I love love love. The Mirabai is my favourite Gorgeous bamboo velour and with a wool cover we haven't had any leaks or wet throughs, It is so thick and thirsty. Def reccomend and it's cheaper then a lot of NN too
Kat simple, tell her your the parent and she WILL use ONLY what you supply or find another nanny. That is rediculous!
Its funny how these people think that sposies just make their life easier....how? When you explain (especially with AIO) all they have to do that is different is keep the nappy for you to wash rather than put in the bin, how hard can it be???? Most people I have explained that to, you can see them thinking and then suddenly the penny drops and they are keen on finding out more! And if you supply everything they need, wipes, solutions, creams and wetbags they have no excuse but to follow your wishes for your child. If they don't I'd be seriously asking why and revoking their visitation rights!
I have a question for all those experienced MCNers out there. Jett is in small nappies, little skinny legs, little skinny waist and hips, but I think their may be a chafing issue. He keeps getting red raw spots on the top of his willy and just next to that on his sack. They are the same places every time, and sometimes he gets it just above it all where the nappy sits. He is in mainly IB but I have tried other nappies and natural fibres and it seems to happen with all of them. At first I thought heat, then maybe strong wees, but I think it may be a lack of crotch room.... what do you all think? I tried snapping the nappies a bit looser but they threaten to fall off...just a little too loose! I tried Medium IB but the fit around the legs is a bit dodgy. He's only 6kgs! It all clears up with a night in sposies and the zinc based nappy cream our local chemist makes up, but then we start again.
