winter stuff comes in March .. :)
omg Bits for Bots have a cool Aloha Ai2 ..
i have a BfB night pocket .. which ive never had a leak in .. has anyone tried the ai2.. i know a couple of ladyeez have some ... so are they any good ...?
Quick - someone inform me! How long does it take for a disposable to break down? I can't find the information!
Gee, I go away for a bit and three threads later... I'm completely lost! And all these new and gorgeous MCN getting hyena'd, I can't bear it! need vs want, it's too much!
Arimeh, I'm soooo annoyed I couldn't come meet up with you while I was up in Qld. My mum's stupid car broke down the day we borrowed it to go to the beach and we ended up stuck on the side of the Bruce Highway on a 38 degree day with a poo-spolsion in a HH leaking everywhere! Couldn't go anywhere for the rest of our stay, so I didn't get to go visit any of my friends. :( I hate Daewoos.
As for sposies... I think it takes forever to break down. Or somewhere close to it. NN website has all that info I think.
So, if I have a moster baby ~ I mean DS ~ who wont lie still on the change table and insists on rolling onto his tummy, is it bad of I put his nappy on back to front?? Just the once? I mean, he just would not stop kicking me in the BBs every time I tried to turn him over, and it's impossible to find straightjackets in size 1 (I've looked)... it kinda stopped him ripping it off so soon as well, since he's figured out velcro now, and it was too hot for clothes that day!
Ooh, and what is it with bubs pooping in night nappies?? Big, stinky teething poops... TMI?! it's gross. And at 4:30am too. Night before last I had to change DS's night nappy twice in half an hour, once coz he pooped in it 5 minutes after getting it on him, and again 10 minutes later coz the ammonia-stinky wee was peeling the paint off the walls. Bless him, the teeth just keep coming one after another.
WOHB: Blueberry
grey minkee...are your gonna applique elephants Maz?
There very few medium starbunz, i did get a ducky but other one I got is in small. I figure its cute and even if it fits bub for a few weeks will get some nice picks and someone with a smaller bub will get some use out of it
mel - i thought they never broke down completely?
Mel - In 1999 it was estimated that using an average of six nappies a day over two and a half years produces around 734 kg of solid waste per child. Multiply that by the number of babies born in Australia each year and that's a lot of disposables taking up space in landfill. In fact, 800 million disposable nappies are used in Australia every year, which amounts to 111,220 tonnes of solid waste. This requires 145,000 cubic metres of land fill area. That's roughly 8000 nappies for just one baby, which can take anywhere from 75-500 years to break down!
Taken from NN site :)
HAppy birthday Wilhelm. :bluecheer: have a great day!
Mel- i don't think they ever break down????? i think i have read 500 years, but how would anyone know..... i guess it is a guesstimate!
NaNa - thanks for the tip to NN - found what i was lookin for *mwah* and thats ok that we didn't meet up... you probably will thank your lucky stars you didn't have to meet a crazy lady with her norty kids... lol
Thanks guys..I just put 500 years down (I'm writing something VERY important ya see - nearly need my reading glasses on.. hmm.. probably SHOULD be wearing them)
Gotta go get baby up.
Why is that toddlers always do really stinky yucky poo explosions in ittis? Grrr.... I think I have to take him off dairy too like his sister.. cos they are FOUL
WOAB: Brown IB (I think this one is safe since the other one is FOUL now)
WOMB: Green IB (still fits into smalls!)
But I like crazy ladies and norty kids! I need more of them in my life. Especially ones that are MCNaholics!
BG - give them a call they are very nice there :) Well they were 3 years ago when I was buying things..
i'll see how i go rayray - i has a phone phobia!
yes, weird for a chick that works in a call centre - but i HATE making calls!
lol me too. its weird huh. i am worse if I get an answering machine, I tend to hang up instead of leaving a message
lol.. I'm a secretary and i hate making phone calls. I like to ring a number that they most likely won't answer (ie, home number during the day) so I can leave a message that they ring me back. I'm fine if they ring in.. but hate ringing them!! lol
Yup I'm weird.
Nappy related.. :think:
Miss M is pushing a spud out on my lap at the moment?
Nah Ray - IM going to make a 2 up cover for my little man...I'll share once I make it but need the materials first :)
Kat - I got 2 yards of grey minkee WOO HOO!!!!!! Gorilla's I liked it but to busy of a material for what i want IYKWIM still searching for elephants
Mel GO GO - hehehe wonder what your up to...heheheheheheh
Nana - good to see you back hot stuff :)
Ang - how you feeling woman???? Did I end up ringing you back? I cant bloody remember
It's funny, I looked at the GD stocking yesterday and none of it really grabbed me, just as well really as I don't NEED any more nappies.
On a nappy related question, I need some help finding clothes that can be worn over cloth bums. I found Frugi (they're currently having a winter sale in their main UK online store so I bought a couple of pants for DS) but I'd like to know if there are local people making them.
Also I'd like a super special nappy or cover for his christening next month. Any ideas?
Thanks
Bahahahahah are you utd Maz? It's supposed to be me that can't remember!! Have phone unplugged atm. Need this feral child to sleep as long as possible! Will call you when there's not a party at your place. ;)
Eugina- Nothing took my fancy either! Lucky as i desperately need to buy some drawers for the new baby and a buffet/hutch type arrangement to put all the crockery in that is currently in the babies room hanging cupboard! So can't really spend much on nappies atm. Just madly stalking ebay!
phone phobia here too !!
flipin hot here .. bout 40 im guessing .. i hung out a load of towels at about 7 am .. and but 10 am they were crunchy as !!
hey do you think its rude to ask my PG friend if shes interested in Cloth ??
not at all Lea - i think if you put it out there - without saying it in a way that feels pressured - it's a great thing
i have no issue talking to people about cloth - hell, i've even got my lazy-ass mother not only interested in the idea of cloth, but she is helping me to shop for it now! (hence the slightly bigger than anticipated order the other night - was at her place!)
i'd probably ask if she's planning on using cloth or sposies, and if she's not sure, talk to her about her options with cloth - if she's dead set on the idea of sposies - well, all you can do is flash your bubba's buts at her and show how cute they are!
eugenia- cant help u on the clothes, but id love to know the same here too!
qn abt pee:
dnt recall his pee havin a strong smell in the prev mths, now its plain stinky. could he b teething or tats wt they spose to b like?
get onto Caddies little wonders....she at wahmnaps and a BB member too....she makes ace clothing that actually fits over cloth bums.
Lea - you gotta educate people hun :)
BG - I WUV YOU!!!!!!!!
DDU sells cow & giraffe pee pee pads for car seats when TT, they look cute LOL
Mazzie babe....do you see elephants???? :p
I just HAD to have the 'flag' fitted nappy last night as hubby is ALWAYS giving it to me about NOT being an aussie...so his little boy can rub it in this way now....
WOJB ~ yellow IB
OH MY FLUFFIES GOSH!!!!!!!!
I got elephant material.......YAY!!!!!! now just have to wait..probably get here before my grey minkee even though is from the states
ETA - Rhoda..do not twist me arm any more...ok of to look :ROFL:
QUIET i is huntin elephants..sssshhhhhhh ROFL....
HMMMM do i need a lou lou nappy??
Yay! My IBs arrived. Now I just need to wait til Ty wakes to make sure they're the right size and they can go in the wash with the... geez, what arrived this morning? Oh Bits for Bots :) A cow print and two dinosaur fleece for my Tyler-ran-o-saurus :)
Sam, I held onto that co-op fleece forever until I decided I didn't know what to make with it and sold it to Nelle. If only I'd forseen that Ty would be in cloth. Oh well. Anyone doing a buy up again?
Do you need a Lou Lou??? Of course you do!!!
NN recommendations puhlease!
I mentioned to Dh about maybe using NN and going cloth just about 100% full time (except for kindy and outings) but that the NN cost a bit but the boys would only need like 3 each and he said no worries!
So I have permission to spend, recommend away :lol:
ETA - RACHEL, did you say dinosaur fleece, where/when/how much? Ds1 is dinosaur mad and would love naps with dino's on them!
hmmm maybe....my hands are abit FULL at the mo'....i have just eaten a whole packet of lolly gobble....ooops!!!
i shall have a looksee....at these said nappies.....
Anna - the best ones for night here are either the BBB's with a wool cover (DD) or I use Snoozywuns or Green Kids for DS... he's usually in a green kids actually...lol Then I don't need to put a cover over it (although technically you don't use a cover with snoozywuns, but I always do) Green kids are good cos the pockets dry really quick and you just stock up on inserts - then you can use them both at night and during the day.
So I dont technically HAVE to buy specifically night nappies?
Snoozywun's are fab!!!!!!! Ive got one and love it although im gonna be a bit worrie idn winter cause I have a big wetter on my hands.
I use BBH's with a fleece or minkee cover and it works a treat
Mirabai are good
WC of course...love my nite nap's from Michelle
sometimes you can get a lotus sandmans on ebay - their a great night nappy
Beetle bums have night nappies now with a cover all in one...bit pricey but if you think by the time you buy a cover and a night nappy its probably cheaper
will get back when I think of more
i loove Keester Kovers !
I got my lou lous yerster day , they are very cute !!
Thanks for the recomms Maz! So basically a NN is just more boosting right? The boys are usually pretty wet come morning in a sposie. Rip has lasted through an Itti with no extra boosting but not sure if that was a fluke.
Anyone bought anything of MCuture? Found a dino nappy in a medium (up to 16kg) that I might buy for J-Bear. Its an Envoy nappy I think?
