Cloth Nappies # 159

[briggsy's girl]

bugger at the headache Maz! that's just not fair - and i can completely sympathise! given it's been hanging around for six days, i would be getting something done about it - have you had your eyes tested lately or been to chiro/osteo? my chiro has been on hiatus since xmas and i have been in pain - he reopened today and was booked out by the time i got through - five minutes after they opened the phone lines - so i'm off there tomorrow!

looking at moo goo site - think i'll wait a couple of weeks to order - want to get the moo goo that everyone uses on baby bum, and it's out for the moment - i also have been having more dermatitis on my scalp lately (and refuse to use the tar i used to use - it stinks!) so i'm gonna give their shampoo and conditioner a go. it looks exxy when you look at the numbers, but it's no more exxy than your average shampoo in the supermarket!

DH about to go and check the mail - hopefully i'll have a box of Itti's waiting for me! hoping hoping hoping! i want fluffy mail! have been envious of all those that got orders delivered early!

Maz or Melbel or anyone really!- Do you know of anywhere that custom PUL laminates small amounts of fabric. As in a few meters. A friends asked and i have no idea but thought you ladies might know..........

What animal makes the noise, 'oink'? A....

Annoying but mildly amusing as well.

FJ - I agree I might have a slightly better chance with a new thread!

Suse - GORGEOUS photos hun! I love the necklace too, I wanted to get one with Izzy but never did as she didn't teeth too badly in the end. Maybe with the J man!

My mum ordered some Moo Goo soothing cream for herself and gave me half! James has terrible eczema so I'm using it on that for now as well as on his bot if he needs it. Anyone know about the Aromababy one?? I just noticed in the ingredients that it has Cetostearyl alcohol which is waxy I guess and also Beeswax.

Gotta fly - 2 kids need to go to bed!

[Gigi]

MAZ - sorry to hear about your week long headache - ouch!

BRIGSY - congrats on finding out you're having a girl!

TAN - why fitteds and covers?

- two lines of defense to get great pootainment value - when the poo is runny, explosive and goes in all directions - wonderful for the nb/small phase, in our case, lasted well into the medium stage too!

- easy to boost, when your child outwets the nappy, and then you try to boost INSIDE the fitted, and then they outwet that, THEN you have the option of OUTER boosting as well, another thing you can do with a fitted, that you can't do with other styles. AThis is a big plus with fitted night nappies too.

cos if you add TOO much boosing INSIDE the nappy, you get leg gape (leaks). so you boost OUTSIDE the nappy, but INSIDE the cover. that's outer boosting. avoids the leg gape issue.

- in summer, at home, once you are pst the runny poo stage, you can put your child in JUST a fitted around home. As soon as you notice they need changing, you change them, so this is another way to help them get ready for TT-ing (and avoid nappy rash too).

- when your child has nappy rash, a higher proportion of fitteds (than other nappy styles) have no stay dry inner, so fitteds are a good thing to put on a child with nappy rash, to help them get over it (to avoid synthetic fabrics against their skin). There are exceptions, fitteds that DO have staydry inner though.

COMPUTER GLITCHES - last 24hours, i've been getting the message "you can't post your message cos it's too short", when i go to post my message - which as you know by now, IS NEVER FIVE WORDS OR LESS!!!! LOL. (i'm on a Mac, using one of the OSX, using Firefox as my browser).

ALI - that's great you have a daycare place for Emma too. Will Sarah and Emma be in same place, at same time? I fit a childcare day's worth of mcn easily in a baby beehinds wetbag (for one child).

Saram sounds very busy.

I was without tv or stereo for the last week. ended up buying a clock radio for bilby's room, have got it on radio national for her, hoping the classical music will calm her for sleep. At first i thought losing tv and stereo was AWFUL, but then i realised, i got more done, i felt calmer, i played more with bilby, and most important change, on the weekend, we went out both days. SPent most of Sat at a commuity pool (went in three times) and on Sun, late afternoon, i drove us to a playground at the beach (Semaphore, Ali and Beatrix), bought fish n chips and i sat down on playground grass while she rode her three wheeler scoot along thingy, around the playground. So having no telly and stereo for a week, did me the world of good. I still spent way too much time on the internet i'm sure!

dh arrived back midnight last night, first thing this morning, had "fixed" the telly, stereo (he has them set up so diffifcult, he is the only person who can work them). Put on four hours of Charlie adn Lola for bilbs. Argh! he doesn't understand moderation.

frog again - Im on IE on an IBM and don't have a quick reply option anymore - odd!

Kitten - I know I am a noob but I use the single insert on the BG for James during the day folded to the front and at night I add the extra booster. He is on the medium setting though because he is a boof. Getting weighed on Thursday - my little man is 3 mths old already waaaaaaahhhhh.

WOJB: 'raffe GK.

[briggsy's girl]

oh dear - stuff missing from IB fluffy mail - bugger - have emailed - hopefully i'll get a quick reply from them (damn that phone phobia!)

[ll80]

in my bumg i've been using a bamboo prefold wrapped around the smaller insert, i find it works really well.

Who prefers sewn in IB's? anyone?
I'm glad I brought one to try cause Elise is getting leg gape in the snap ins but the sewn in is all good, no leaks or poo down the legs.

[teruteru]

ali- thx for the heads up, now jst gotta convince DP to let me use cloth in adel (not like he's doin the work anywyz!)
kitten- i only used the nb insert until i got leaks thats when i realise what the other insert was for (idiot i know) i use the magicall bamboo insert if i need to boost it
tan- dragons on the medium setting too!!
gigi- thx for explainin abt fitted as i nevr saw the reason behind it...mebbe i should look into gettin some for summer then, but the smell...

moogoo user- need a lil convincin before i go buy some. DP has really bad dermatitis on his hands, would it help? he's on really strong cream (novasone if u were wondering) but does hardly anything, think he's immune to it...also all the info is too overwhelming and i mustve missed it but which would b best suited for the bottom end?

not really nappy related but where does every1 get their amber from? im lookin at gettin it frm the states but am i gonna b payin more in the end cos the exchange rate? im not too familiar with paypal but is the FX rate on that reasonable?

...ive nevr had any random qn, they sound pretty funny but must b annoyin if u get it all the time

[Junglemum]

hmmmm BG you might be onto something i only ever use the quick reply button and i'm on a regular laptop using ie as browser.......

Thanks for message Mel, will let you know asap.
