Cloth Nappies #158

I agree Kitten - they are a pain! James is a bit the same as far as wetting goes, as I mentioned a few days ago, he has had nights where he has woken up almost dry (hard to tell in a Huggies :rolleyes: but then will have loads of big wee's when he wakes up. I'm trying a few different nappies I have overnight to see how they go. The BG seemed ok and last night he had a boosted GK and no problems. It was really full but not leaky thank goodness and that was from 8-8!

Has anone used the Aromambaby barrier balm? I have a huge tub of that and was wondering if I can use it with my nappies? What nasty ingrediants should I look for - it is all organic and natural which is why I got it in the first place! Ok off to MG now and not turning on the computer until tonight. Well that's the aim - will see how I go in reality!

:hide: Mel - that certain person...lets see how I should put this.....is not a very pleasant person in the MCN world....I try to stay an individual as I can without ripping on deisgns from famous labels and other WAHM's. I dont want to go to court like some ;) but then I wouldn't get away with it like some....read between the lines here babe.

there's a code of ethics and unspoken rule's between the MCN community and some people think they are above and beyond that

I HATE THIS random question thing

good morning nappy nuts!!!

as for Little squirts...i was just going to buy the cheaper on that someone mentioned the other day...is cheap enough with express postage....thats why i asked about the 'fixed' supply pipe to the toilet... as this mentions 'must have a flexible supply pipe to the toilet'
Got a whole heap to wash today..must do it soon..so they get on the line earlier and have time to dry :D

ahh thanks Maz ;) I got a BBmail :D I feel in the loop now. And I totally agree :) *go Davina*

What random question thing?

ohh I wish it would warm up! My nappies were on the line for 2 days and are still damp!!

WOHB: Beetlebum pocket

i don't get the random questions??? Now i feel like i am missing out! :p

Got a couple of itti's. At 15 months DD is still on the tightest snap setting of a medium, not crossed over, so i got more M, but wondering if i should have got L...... hmmmm oh well, just thinking out loud really!

Maz...hun elmo is in the house :p

WOJB ~ BBB / maz blue minky cover :p

Do you reckon Id be right to make my own washing liquid for the MCNs? I have a basic recipe thats pretty neutral I think so it should be ok to use on the naps. What are the thing I should avoid ie softener?

Hmm no random question here either!


ahhh been MIA for a bit, had a big big sat night and well needed to recover on sunday.. hrmm wont be doing that again for a while.. was a GOOD time though lol


Kat- so the cheaper squirt doesnt have to attachemnt the LS comes with is that right? does it work out any cheaper then?

Annat- ahh sorry hun, i did get the last sms you sent til like late last night, for some reason my phone is having some spastic thing where it doesnt recieve some sms at all ir others not for hrs.

Maz- gigi actually pointed out anothe rcode of ethics break a person did, quite disgusting actually... i was shocked.



as for cloth well night tim eonly for Annika, and bloody Mj teeth is killing me, so she is still in sposies with a odd MCN here and there, just lethal pooh and panadol bum

my dad said won't be more then $10-$15 for the extra pipe/hose and the actual squirter is reasonable....

Off to put nappies on to wash.....

IWardygirl - Your stash is great! Im a bit jealous! My 15 nappies pale in comparison to to them!

Tan, don't be jealous. This is my 2nd foray into MCNs. Last time I tried to do it with 13 nappies and it was hard. It was also autumn and I was in 1st Tri so I didn't last. This time I decided I wasn't going to hold back. I've got twice as many nappies as last time (or more!) Uncle Kevin (Rudd)'s money has helped gather my stash quicker than anticipated.

Gigi, thanks for info on pawpaw ointments. OMG at your medical history. I had no idea! I hope you have no ongoing issues from it.

Random question thing? No idea

grr damn questions! why are they happenng, surely they dont need to come up for platinum members FFS?

are salve sprays OK to use on MCN without a liner?

are all wildchild nappies the same cut as bling? cos bling fits her peeeeeerrrrrrrfectly....

i dont get the whole random qn thing but excuse me if i end up postin 1 up. sorry for my ignorance in advance :redface: plz point out to me if i do ask 1 & i'll try not to do it again

all this talk of LS, im starting to think that mayb i should look into it too. ive only had to deal with bf poo so it goes straight into the machine.

we'll b flyin over to adel for a long weekend in feb for mil bday so am thinkin whether its feasible to do cloth for 4 days. my main concerns are:
* what if it doesnt dry when we leave, then we'll have wet stinky nappies
* will the soiled nappies stink out the rest of the luggage?
mebbe we might have to do sposies for the 2nd half of the trip, but i dont know...mebbe i should find out whether the caravan park we're stayin at have a dryer then my problems will be zeroed :pray:
on top of that, im still contemplatin whether i should take my nappies with us overseas. it'll take up considerable weight so mebbe not :wall:

finally took my nappies for their 1st time in the sun at our house, so glad to see stains gone. Pity they dont see much of it due to the road works near by...

teruteru - when the upgrade happened on the weekend some members were hit with a weird little glitch that has them asked a random question (what color is grass kinda thing) before they can reply... isn't to do with random qu's in here! i think all qu's are worth while - i'm learning a lot from others piping up and asking stuff i didn't realise i didn't know!

now a q from me - with moo goo - if you were doing an order to start out, would you get one of the sample packs first to scope it all out (have done this with gaia) or is it something that it's highly unlikely will react with bubba's skin? i'm wanting to get some stuff in advance (as you do) and am actually considering using the shower wash stuff myself (i read it wasn't scented) and maybe handwash - seeing i will end up washing hands a thousand times, and i have sensitive skin myself.... has anyone tried the stuff other than the soothing balm? recommendations? advice for or against? as a rule, i tend to use aromatherapy washes for myself, but i know they are relatively strong smelling and i don't want to overwhelm bubba...

Wow Wardy my stash is probably the same size as yours and DS is 8 months :o You dont waste time huh?
Thanks Gigi Ive decided not to stress about it Ill try but if it doesnt happen it doesnt happen.
Well Im officially over this rain hey I think I should send it to somewhere in drought so please raise your hands and Ill send some rain your way :lol:

WOHB: orange blueberry

they are out of the soothing cream at the moment :( (moo goo) was going to buy some for when i go back to work...have everything ready....

Mel you may find stuff about her if you do a search on NC. Those threads tend to go missing though ;)

Kitt3n Ruby is the same with wetting more after first change than overnight. So was Caleb till about 12 months.

Forgot to bring in nappies so I hope they don't have bugs on them. Being wet is the last thing on my mind with this weather :)

thx bg. whilst i was pg i sent some email to request samples, mayb u could do that if u wanted to try it 1st? so now ive got little satchels of stuff here & there, good for travellin thou :D

Time for a new thread HERE
