Cloth Nappies #160

[1MOREPLZ]

MM i wasalone stuck with Jack ALL day/night yesturday while DH went to work then to the cricket...and today he hasn't done much with Jack..won't even change a damn nappy!!!! and now he has gone off to play table tennis!!!!! i just don't get a break!!!!!

me thinks i might just have to spend some more money on nappies.....

[~Raven~]

Mel my DH works those hours and sometimes more. I'd tell him to pull his head in if he was cranky at us

Anna I would say bamboo for absorbancy

Mel me too. I'm a stationary weirdo. When I was at tafe I'd go walk up to officeworks on my lunch break and buy pens. I have still have too many pens. More pens than nappies

We had Caleb in jocks for a while today because he wanted to wear them. He wet himself and was so upset. Screaming WEEEEEEEESSSSS and crying. DH has taken the boys out and he flipped out getting a nappy put on. Hoping this is TT this time. Had a couple of attempts but he went off it.

i think i need a maid!!!! it is too hot to walk outside to the laundry to get the load of nappies i just washed and hang them on the clothes horse.....

[Arimeh]

Hmmm Missy Mel.. I understand the walking on eggshells - my EX-husband was like that.

He's my ex for a reason. I couldn't live like that ya know? I found I was judging what mood I was to going to be in on his moods - and I hated that feeling.

[1MOREPLZ]

well i finally got the load of nappies hung out and folded up the stuff that was already on the clothes horse.....
Hubby has Jack now..so some 'me' time..not for long i bet....

[Eugenia]

DH took Sophia out today and left me to supposedly have a bit of 'me' time. I spent the morning doing housework and in the afternoon DS didn't want to sleep. I finally managed to sit down and start some quilting only about 1/2 hour before they got back home. Oh well, better than nothing I suppose. I complained to him that I spent the morning doing housework and he said that hanging up nappies didn't count as housework. I didn't argue with him because if I did he might get narky about me buying some more. It's been such a muggy day that all my fitteds and AIOs are still damp despite hanging up outside all day.

[teruteru]

eek u guys reminded me abt my nappies in the machine...

[alioops]

Hey!!

MM - I know what you mean!!! My puffer always expires before I need it though I really should get a new script for it.

Sammi - for Caleb he will get there!! I hope it doesn't take him long!!

Kat - I need a maid too. Or a dishwasher!!

Anna - You are welcome to come and fiddle with my sewing machine hun. I hate doing the buttons too, I got to the point that it is always DH's buttons that go so he sews them together himself now. I am soooo tempted to buy too but I need to check our bank balance and make a payment on my car.

Hi All!

I've been MIA but I'm back!
I think I'm WAY behind - I've read the three pages for this thread so far but won't go back to closed threads!
I read something about a bunch of people leaving??? Something big must have happened while I was away! And now I'm wondering who all is leaving - guess I'll find out over time if no one wants to/ or can share!
DS wore his first sposie in nearly 2 months due to my pregnancy brain - just didn't stock the nappy bag well enough!

So glad the heatwave is over for the time being. Pregnancy and 40 degree heat just don't mix! Hope everyone else in the Sydney area found ways to stay cool.

I'm drooling over some nappies on B4B but alas I'm broke!

I'm exhausted and not really discussing nappies well so best head off to bed!

WOHB: BBH bamboo and Tots Bots fleece cover

[alioops]

Check out the messages forum Heidi. I can assure you I am not going anywhere for a little while, I had my break over christmas / new years.

Maybe I should look on B4B.

[Pandora]

Three pages in a day??
wowzah.
OK for LS/room setup, change table will be in bubs room. If I have the LS in the ensuite, the nappy bucket and lid, with osme nice lavender oil or something, will be in the ensuite as well. And then I'll take it to the laundry when its time to wash.

If its in the other toilet, then bucket will be in laundry. I guess Im mostly concerned that DS will play with and/or break it if its in "his" toilet.

[Nelle]

Lol Heidi, wb! I *think* it's one person leaving, one taking a break, and one drastically cutting back her BB time. And a good dash of commotion, curiosity and confusion in equal measures and you get a Mass Exodus.

Riv's still in sposies (except for the nappy or two after poops). His poops are AWFUL. (Jols can testify, if she caught a glimpse) I thought it was teething, but it's been far too long, so he's off dairy, wheat and grapes, and I'm hoping things will settle. Can you give toddlers yakult?
Cruising along nicely with Si and cloth though.

That's tough Mel, I hope you and your dp can find some time together to try and see eye to eye on things.

[Arimeh]

Nelle - aricyn's poops are foul too - we started on the oat milk and rice milk today to see if that makes a difference....

[alioops]

Nelle - Try Inner health Kids, It is dairy free, so if it is an issue with lactose that will help. Sounds a bit like what Em's poos are like with Dairy. You do not want to get anywhere near those!!!

I have just spent quite a bit on nappies . A few pink nappies, some PUL covers (including ME rikki) and some extra boosters. I got a 6 pack of pink Bamboo prefolds though.

[Gigi]

Okay, am gunna ask this one again as I couldnt find a reply, but I may have just been having a dumb one.
Do i need a LS if I am going to use liners (flushable)

i answered you, very thoroughly, in the last thread shell. you weren't ignored, petal!


Charmlea - for your four trip
i've been told "night nappies" for a plane trip (on the Nappycino travelling with cloth threads)

for your four month old, i would take "whatever you get pootainment in, with"
for Nixon, i would take pockets and ai2's that you already know suit him.
if you are going to buy mcn specifically for this trip?
suggestions:
double layer bamboo trifolds, maybe the 2L size bamboo prefolds on sale at booroi might be the right size (length) to stuff pockets for Nixon?
quick dry bits for bots ai2's (front snaps, microfleece inner)
greenkids pockets and bumg pockets (if suedecloth inner, aplix closure and OSFA suit Nixon)
happy heiny either sized or OSFA fitted pockets, get the solid colours, there is an option of snaps AND aplix on the same nappy.
i'd avoid fitteds for Nixon (due to drying time) i agree with you completely
if you gotta take fitteds for your nb, so be it. unless you using prefolds + cover, cos they will dry faster than fitteds. Pootainment is the most crucial thing in nappying a nb, so if you make any exceptions, i'd make them for the nb.

i understand why you got the m/l KK AIO - such a bargain price! it's worth it, waiting til she fits it better.

ALI - aw, you make me feel all clucky, you find out you're having a girl, and today buying pink fluff, that's LOVELY!!! so happy for you! pink prefolds :smile: (just cos i'm not a pink girl, doesn't mean i can't be happy for you, nesting for your wee gal.) those booroi prefolds are a subtle pink.

MISSY - very early in my internet life (2001 i started), i got an email from someone, with a link to this article called "NETIQUETTE" - obviously i was being told to pull my head in and learn "how" to be, online - i was so embarrassed.

TERU - night nappies are all about observation. whatever you put them to sleep in, if it's working - fine. it's when you pick up a drenched bubba, see wet sheets, baby has rash from long time in wet nappy, thats when you reach into your "mental mcn toolbox" of - what can i try now? - to increase absorbency. You do it, as you need to. I would say, for RIGHT NOW, the magicall is fine for your bub. every bub is different. all you can do is observe your bub, and keep repeating what works.

there are excellent threads on nappycino regarding "travelling with cloth" from camping with no laundry, to overseas trips where you are at a different place each night.

i have no clue who has left/is leaving BB lil precious, so we can be "in the dark", together!

whoever got to see "Australia" (was it Eugenia), i hope you had a great night out, i'd love to see that film too.

good luck with TT-ing Caleb Raven.

WOTBB: KK AIO with babylegs to keep the darn mozzies off my bilby's delicious (to mozzies) little legs

Kitten - are you after any more natural/organic mcn ideas? i went down that road when bilbs reacted really badly to synthetic inners, last year. happy to share with you.

do you have a sugar peas cover? to snap in that sugarpeas $12 snap in insert into? i used the right words, but it really doens't look right does it?

waves at Beatrix!

[Freya]

Errrrrrrr an Iishfly fitzsall nappy just randomly made its way into my shopping cart. You guys should have warned me that it happens

Its so cute, is blue with a VW kombi on the bum. Jett is going to FLIP when he see's it, he just loves kombi's and Filmore off the movie Cars

ETA - oh and I have a ? for cloth mama's re cloth pads. Whats the deal there? Seems a bit icky to me but I was thinking of getting some as "backups" for those first weeks of PP bleeding as I always get paranoid and double up on the maternity pads.

*Mod hat on*

Hey clothies!

After quite a few forum guidelines breaches in here over the last few months, the mod team has put together some guidelines to help it run smoothly and for you as members to know what is and isn't permitted.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know there are no new rules involved.

We have used the existing BellyBelly Forum Guidelines and summarized and adapted a few points that are continual issues for this section.

You can find the Cloth Nappy Forum Guidelines HERE or stickied to the menu in the Cloth Nappy Discussion thread.
Please read them and if you have any questions you can PM or email myself, Tanya or Suse or our Admin Christy.

This doesn't replace the BellyBelly Fourm Guidelines and rest of the guidelines are still applicable. The BellyBelly Forum Guidelines can be found in full HERE

Thankyou!
