rach i love blueberry nappies o much so i have 11 of them!! best thing was i got them buy 2 get one free ages ago from the US that was before they stopped shipping to oz!!
yep as katones said just get a sample lansioh or go to the toy outlet at brandsmart and get the madela lanoline cream it cheaper!!
I actually sell the medela purelan to my wool customers, you can use the purelan on your nappies and your nipples !! 2 in 1 :)
there should be instructions on how to lanolise in the booklet ..
oohh BP wet bag noice !
Eeek Gigi Bendigo! I love it I wanna move there and am planning to just dont tell Xp :lol:
Fluffy mail!! I just received a purple minky dot cover! Oh I lubs it :dance:
In other nappy related news DS's welts are gone!! :dance::dance: Now I have happy cloth bum! And at playgroup today other mums were very interested on WOHB as he was the only one in cloth! Yay!
WOHB: green peapod
what fabrics is your nappy made from?:
are there any decorative bits e.g applique?
what colour is the inner and outer?
who made your nappy? Cherub's Kiss, Pookey Pockets, Possum Pouches etc?
WARDYGIRL - i think that's lucky you can blame the blueberry purchases on your DD! take some heat off you! Which blueberry did you choose? the OSFA aplix pockets, the side snap sized pockets? do they make aio's too? any wraps? and what colours/prints did you get? They're a good width in the pocket too, so you'll be able to stuff them with a variety of things e.g other brand bamboo trifolds.
RHYB - what were ds' welts from? (you've prolly explained b4 but i forget).
wotbb: big commotion to get a nappy on bilby, after most of today in knickers. she held on basically from 9am to 4pm, then wet two pairs of knickers where she stood. Then wanted to sit on pillows NAKED, all i could think of was "you haven't pooed yet today, no way jose!!". so big fight to get her to lie down on nappy, for me to do up. every nappy fight, she manages to hit my newly stitched finger multiple times - i dread it.
just before the two pee times, she had a whale of time trying on knickers on Monkey and Teddy, which translates to her jumping up and down, asking ME to put their knickers on, repeat in 20 secs, so teddy and monkey got to try on EVERY pair of knickers she has. and in my search for small enough knickers, lets just say, there were plenty of changes. sigh. she's fine, as soon as dh walks in, i open my mouth, like a real dill "How was your day" "i'm exhuasted from changing plush toy's knickers!".
Gigi, my parents have a spare room if you needed Melb accom for a short while to visit your mum, feel free to email me if that becomes an option for you.
I can't believe I still haven't bought a blueberry.
thanks for the kind offer Nelle, everything is so up in the air, i don't have any definites right now. We're going on daily phonecalls to the hospital in melb.
but just so i'm crystal, it's me, dh and bilby. (not just me and bilbs) - in case that makes a difference.
You have time to get a blueberry, Silas isn't TT-d yet, and even if he was training, they make trainers too!
Is the weewuns near Bendigo? or Melbourne?
closer to melb really. You'd be closer to Darlings Downunder.
I know, neither Riv or Si are TT'd, I'll have to check their budget.
for those interested massive savings at
booroi.. closing down 25% off most stock....
did some1 mention they like the ecobub wool pocket earlier? wt r they like? since booroi hav a sale, im thinkin of tryin it :)
blimey, booroi have 259 items on special!! pity i don't need anything they have! but some great bargains for people starting/building a stash.
anyone after watermelon pink Bum Genius osfa pockets, they have some at v.gd price (since the recent price spike on those). Even the organic ones are on special (in more colours).
sorry teru, can't give you a personal recommendation on the ecobubs pocket, never tried them. I have a feeling, someone on this thread might have said the pocket opening is at the front? or was that a diff brand? unsure.
i was interested in the ecobubs at one stage, them being a sidesnapper. but i emailed a seller to ask the crotch width, adn that decided me against them. (too wide for bilbs).
they are machine washable, due to small percentage of synthetic in outer. i think they would be fine stuffed with bamboo trifold etc.
Gigi I had no idea. They were bleeding and weaping but he wasnt bothered :dunno: My dr said just to use pawpaw salve and its finally cleared up! :dance:
Fingers crossed it doesnt come back.
WOHB: BBB and pul cover
Kat, if you PM me your email addy I can send you the cherub's kiss care instructions - I've got them here (that is, if it was a cherub's kiss).
Gigi - hugs hon. It's all going on for you right now, isn't it? How come your finger needed restitching? Sounds really ouchies. I'm sending you big healing vibes sweetheart.
Rhyb - good to hear A's little butt is better.
Um, haven't gone back to check all the pages - so hi to everyone I missed.
Here's some more photos of Euan in Auriel heaven, it's a different one this time LOL. Blue/green marbled minky. Mmmm. Between them and my Beetlebums I never want to put another nappy on ever.
Here and here and here.
I gots fluffy mail for ME today - my Outrageous bamboo velour mama pads from the GD stocking. V noice indeed. Now all I need is a reason to wear them :rofl:
WOHB: night stuff. Really gotta post more during the day LOL.
You could 'test' them out Suse haha Bet they are lush... I am thinking about taking the cloth mumma path... still undecided.
Well we are up because I forgot to put Ashtons night nappy on, so he thinks it is a good time to wake, need a change then want to play :rolleyes:
I love this thread, I am soooo over everything being a bite... can't say anything without someone taking it as an attack or whatever... bah stupid. Tihs is the only 'safe' place.
Well taking munchkin BACK to bed in the HOPE he wants to sleep...
WOHB - BBB & shorties
PS Suse that minky is LUSH!! how cute is ur man!!
teru - i love the eco bubs . they are wide, but because they are so soft they really contour to baby's crutch.
i have ordered two more from booroi, thanks for the heads up ness!
also ordered 3 magic alls ( havent had any minkee ones ) and 3 organic bum g's, so cheap!
WOHB - bubblebubs
aaarrgghhh.. who told me about the sale? now I have to hide another wetbag, some bamboo wipes, and 2 minkee magicalls from DH..... he he he :o
was someone in here after a cow print wet bag recently? there is a HH one on booroi at the moment for 25% off
WOHB - sposie (she is still sleeping, and I still dont have any night nappies :cry:
it was ME looking for all things cow related - and Beatrix not only pointed it out on Booroi, she encouraged me to buy lots of stuff that we probably didn't need but are rather cute (those wool pants and beanies are gorgeous!)
*rocking back and forth* must not look...must not look
Ness - you are such a anughty girl bringing that to our attention...oh how much longer until your in your own place too?
We had compression leak yesterday in a IB delish....anyone else get that with them? mateauz was sitting in the seat of the trolley and blah wetness
its so muggy here...bb's hanging in the breeze to keep cool
Beatrix - you shouldn't have told me about the sale at booroi. But I'm being good and not buying anything - even though I could start buying larges for Ty cause he'll be needing them sometime. :)
Gigi- I got a zebra print, 'sapphire' blue side snapper and a green camo. The wetbag is the same print green camo. And that blew $130 without postage! I didn't really ask her about any other products sorry. I was a bit distracted by the boys - particularly Tyler - dipping her remote in a cup of water, and then trying to crawl out the door cause the kids were all playing outside. I just knew if I was going to buy anything it had to be minkee and seeing everyone kept talking about blueberrys, I thought I'd see what the interest was... oh and they are interesting! :D
Last night was Ty's 2nd night in cloth. :) It feels really good that he hasn't been in a sposie since Monday night. I imagine he'll outgrow being in just a BBB but for now it's working fine for him.
WOHB: Chocolate D'Lish
Gigi theweewuns is out the other side of Melb, not far from me :) Emerald if you want to look it up.
With lanolsing, if you want a no fuss way about it go the sheepish grins stuff. The wool wash contains lanolin and then you get the spray on stuff too to boost it. It smells oh so devine :D Bit pricey though but it lasts for ages.
Sale hmmmmm...wanders off for a look ;)
who else apart from weewuns stock blueberry?
I had a look at the sale this morning, after DH hogged the computer all night last night. SO inbetween looking for a laptop for me, I checked it out! Looks great and tehre are a lot of things that I was looking to get, I hope theres still some left tomorrow when I've been paid!!
Does anyone know what payment methods they accept - can you do direct deposit?
pretty sure it said direct deposit on the check out - i paid via paypal though...
the only other Aust. stockist seems to be baby blossom:
or you could fly to the US and buy it there! good excuse for holiday methinks:D
WaDRYGIRL - i love the Sapphire blue colour! noice! Congrats on having Ty in cloth so long.
dh is not best pleased about me and bilby flying over to melb, even when i pointed out the Virgin sale ($50 one way, dearer flight to get back). Now bilby is over two, have to pay for her as well. So nothing is booked, i would like some firm dates asap.
rayray - hope the stuff you want is still there today (at booroi), some excellent prices. Look down the menu on the left, there will be a link about "contact us" - use that to find out payment options.
Suse i didn't express my self well, i didn't get my finger RE stitched, it was stitched up ONCE after an accident with a knife. Supposedly the bit of finger that was reattached, has "taken" and healed ok, but it still feels so bizarre, like something, the weight of a false fingernail is sitting there on my fingertip, i am still not using that finger, feels too weird.
Rhyb - those welts, did they look a bit like "burn" marks? bilby got, several times, these burn marks, from "acidic teething poos" - the poo would literally "burn" her buttocks, immed she pooed. it was always at teething times. only thing to do was to watch her like a hawk, and change IMMED she pooed. never quick enough, so she got these awful burn marks on her tush. awww, poor petal.
Suse - those photos of the emerald auriel - very lush - and your little model is such a honey!
wotbb: i'm not even sure, dh did last change, but she has possum's pouches soaker on top, so must be wearing a fitted.
whether to attempt TT-ing knickers today? hmmm. or just put a gazillion pair on teddy and monkey? teddy was so good, when bilby wasn't looking last night, Teddy did a wee in the potty, dh and i came over, noticed Teddy's achievement, gave him a rousing applause, made a big deal of taking potty bowl to loo, tipping it in, offering bilby flushing honours, then washing teddy's paws. Such a clever bear.
Hehe Glad you girls are enjoying the sale!!
just think of all the money you are saving!!!!
I got my friend who is due for baby soon a HH cow wet bag and nappy...
going to get her some CT on monday too from the sale there, Im so glad i convinced her to do cloth!!! YAY
Sitting on my hands to stop myself from buying anything - aaarrrgghhhhhhh .......
I think I need help. I have this strangle compulsion to constantly wash nappies so he can wear my fav's like the IB's! :rofl: I plan outings around his nappies - hehe at the mo they are just sitting in the cradle he doesn't sleep in and I put the ones aside for going out, night time etc... and then if one is dirty that I love I am tempted to wash it just so he can wear it again! I need HELP I tell you.
WOJB: WC and Maz cover - I wish I had my camera - thank goodness DH is back tomorrow, my phone photos just don't do them justice!
hmmmm i did a dumb thing last night...
got jack ready for bed put Jack in his NN 'sweet dreams maz NN' and dressed the rest of him WITHOUT putting a cover over it....DIDN'T realise till this morning when i was dressing him for the day....and yep it was damp but not soggy...OOPS :)
WOJB ~ blue IB
i will NOT go and look at the sale.....hehehehe
Tan, me too! Whenever I wash I sort the clean nappies into piles for home, going out and sleeping. Then I have a huge debate about where to put the ones that fall into two or more categories. I've also been doing more frequent washes lately as DS had a bit of heat rash last week so I've been putting him in just fitteds or prefolds without covers, but I've only enough to last one day so I'm doing a wash every afternoon for the next day's nappies.
Totally NOT nappy related but....
Ashton is sitting!!!
I am so proud
YAY!
Ok nappies... well how annoying is it when you change them into their night nappy, and they poop in it straight away? Well you know what, it's double the annoyance when you change them, they poop so you change them again and then they do it again! And you only have 2 NN clean :rolleyes:
Glad I'm not alone Eugenia!! I also have a friend coming over later so have the red IBput aside for just before she gets here! :rofl:
I'm so pleased that both the BG and GK are working so well overnight - pretty full in the morning with boosting but no leaks and his bot is nice and clean. :) We went to the pool yesterday and I had him in cloth for the first time for a long trip like that and he did a MAMMOTH poo in his cow HH! I mean EVERYWHERE. As I was trying to clean him up it was on his hands, feet and legs, not to mention on me -I had to use so many wipes! My makeshift wetbag of pillowcase in plastic bag worked ok though!
Kat - Not dumb - just hormones and baby brain! I did the same thing with the WC I had the first time and he soaked it through!
tell ya...I was looking at the HH cow nappy but alas left it be..it has micro inserts which are a no go with me. BG if our worried about skin sensitivies be caresful of micro fibre cause it react's with my kids really horribly.
I am so turned of BG after fixing so many of them for people. The look of them is lovely when they are new but they remind me of a used shopping bag when their older and I dont think you should have to be fixing elastic in something that has cost so much money. Id say ive fixed about 20 - 30 of them for people now and that is the biggest turn of for me. That's just my opinion though..give me fitteds and a cover any day
Mel - I get the same prob with Mateauz...shiats in a NN and then the second one after that..must be making some more for him I think
waiting for fluffy mail :)....a yard or 6 of minkee :) I cant wait to roll around in it
WOMB - WC NN - just got up and a maza fluro green dog cover
Aarrrgghhhh! I can't keep up with this thread.... and all the nappies I have to keep going to peruse!!
I don't even know what I was going to say when I replied anymore!!
Ummm... no Maz we don't get compression leaks in our IB, but sometimes the booster pokes a little out the leg hole and then we get seepage!! Nothing too bad though!
Yesterday I put Jett in to a Medium IB and discovered that I really can't adjust them right yet, on one setting they are just too tight (I can barely do them up!) and on the next setting down I discovered that all the wee goes shooting up his back!! Hehe :lol: Think I will have to stick to the smalls for a little while longer!
Gigi, the reason I need a low rise for Jett is that he has his fathers ribs - they kind of flare out at the bottom. And then his tummy sticks out ET style, so it pushes all the higher rise nappies down to his skinny minny hips where we end up with a massive gape cos it was adjusted for around his tummy! And then the result is the same as above!! See my issues? Big tummy and ribs, tiny hips, bum and thighs.... if only I could say that about myself! I don't have a problem with pockets, just DH likes the simplicity of grabbing a nappy off the line, in the drawer etc and just putting it on. With pockets I run the risk of not having them ready!! But willing to give them a go!
Ok I got sucked in by the sale too.... ended up purchasing a BG Organic and an Ecobubs to try.... wide crotches though so we'll see how we go. Jett tends to lose all movement in his legs when I put him in a wide crotch nappy! Keeps him quiet though!! :rofl:
WOHB: Rockmelon IB d'lish in SMALL!!!!
Maz my dear - i shall be sending you a parcel today (when iget myself showered and dressed - i'm too comfy in my jim jams!)
hoping for fluffy mail today - going to po on the way to mum's for dinner - will get her more interested if she sees more mcn's...
missymoo - ooh I can't stand it when bubs does that! Especially when he's normally a regular first-thing-in-the-morning kinda kid...
Tan - we had a huge poosplosion in a HH a couple of weeks ago, at the same moment our borrowed car broke down on the side of the highway, after a hot day at the beach. Poo everywhere! Hired car seat too... It was 38 degrees and I only had a few cloth wipes left. Thankfully my mum keeps wet wipes in the glove box. The only time I've been happy to use them!
Big surprise here yesterday - DS did poo in the potty! He has been trying to pull his nappy off a lot lately, so I just took it off and sat him on the potty to see what would happen. Gave him a book to look at, and bingo! One less nappy to wash!
WOHB: BumG, but he's pulling at it, so off to the pot we go!
Maz - I wish I didn't have so many BumGs now... but I lived in a tiny apartment with no sunlight when I started out with MCN, and it was a big priority that our nappies would dry quickly (also used lots of flats). No probs with the elastic yet (it's only been 6 months or so, tho) but they need a strip wash NOW. I hate that they get full of lint in the tabs, and the lycra pills.
Awww no Maz - well at least I know where I can get my BG fixed when it packs it in. ;) I can't get my head around fitteds and covers - I use the ones I have but the pockets and AIOs are working so well for me right now, maybe I will change my mind as he gets bigger.
ETA: The HH held up beautifully with the mammoth poop it was just the process of changing it that we had issues! :rofl:
damn i cant find the one i want! a medium blueberry, pink on choc.. mmnn yummy
wohb - bling
grats ashton on sitting :D
ok chickies, need a lil help. so im thinkin of takin adv of the booroi sale to get the ecobub wool pockets BUT im going o/s in march for a month so most likely not going to b doin cloth. so would it be wise to skip medium & just get the large for winter?? oh and i love those wool pants too
gigi- check tiger airways, they might b cheaper cos melb-adel $24 so for return tickets for the 3 of us is $156.
one of the elastics has gone in my BG and its only 2 or 3 mths old , i will be getting it replaced before i decide to to put them on B4B as they are size large and dont use them now DS is in undies !!
i checked out the sale , so happy i didnt get any thing as i prefer rolled leg casings and from what i saw none of the nappies there have it.. or do baby kang gas have them ???
Tan - if you were to ask me what nappies i like best , hands down its a fitted and a cover !! were all different :)
wt does rolled leg casing mean?
eta- jst occurred to me. if im allergic to most wool, would baby be too? if so i better not get the wool pants JIC...
does any1 wanna swap a L BP for a M BP? jst realise that he might outgrow M by time we come back
