Cloth Nappies #160

[Livinthedream]

Thankyou Gigi. I will go back and have a look

Good morning ladies! Matisse is still asleep in her BBB, I wonder what suprise I will get when she wakes? Last night i changed her - and as I lefter her bumb to put the new nappy underneath BOOM! poo explosion, shot out about a metre and went all over the cupboard and the carpet........ lol - our first poo "leak"!! bet there would have been more in sposies!

anna - i have just invested in some cloth pads, i wish i had some before for the pp bleeding, even just to have one on for a little while every couple of days to give my skin a break from the plastic pads would have been lovely, so i'd say grab a few... but get the longer ones .....

gigi - i ordered 3 silk liners to try, I have 9 BBB's, one BBH, 3 jamtots hemp fitteds, and have ordered 2 sugar peas snap in nappies. I am also thinking of ordering some of the Sugar Peas 2 Size Hemp Fitted Cloth Nappy from ozbaby trends (if they are still there come pay day!). I also have 6 wool covers....... I would love to hear any suggestions of other natural/organic fibre nappies you may have found good? and no, I dont have a sugarpeas cover, but the loveybums ones are quite high in the rise, so i think they will be ok over the sugarpeas nappies?

I have noticed that my eczema is flaring up on my hands, I wonder if this is a combination of extra hand washing and touching microfibre? addmittedly though my bum g's are the reserves, everything else gets used first..

AJP - thansk for the heads up on the sorbitol

WOHB - bbb/loveybums wool crepe cover

someone asked about monkey doodles swim nappies...we had 2 for DS and they were great, no problems at all.

[maz]

Ive got a monkey doodle swim nappy and we have never used it ...he just goes free ball and ah im to lazy lol

Kitten - I cant micro fibre and yes had the same reaction as you....all over my hands up to my wrists...BLAH!!!!!

MissMel - big hugs chicki...kick his butt and get him on the right track...thts all Jed needs frmo me every now and then...but yes DH/DP are pains in the rectums..

Anna - I've been using cloth pad's since i had Vy..shiat over 2 years :0 and I have no regrets... admittedly I did have to get use to the difference and there is an 'odour' but I now dont soak mine at all...I dry pail them in a container by themselves and then wash them every 3 days seperate to everything else. I think once you get the hang of it you wonder why you didnt do it in the first place (bit like cloth nappies )

I have a little girl who is saying 'Shiat' all the time atm. I am trying so hard not to react but do you realise how dame cute it sounds 'Oh mummy I did a shiat' and those big eye's looking at me..ah how can I be angry.

Another emotional day for me today......1 year ago our lives changed....friggen depressing

ok off to do the fmaily thing

WOMB - rockmelon IB that needs a new snap (dont ask)

Maz.. hope today isn't too difficult for you

ETA: has anyone noticed how much the Happy Babes nappies (on ebay) look like bumgenius!?!?!?

Maz.. hope today isn't too difficult for you

Ah just lift arse and move on...have debriefed in Mateauz thread so bit better...cried enough for today.

ETA: has anyone noticed how much the Happy Babes nappies (on ebay) look like bumgenius!?!?!?

You know Ive been thinking heaps about this copy stuff lately cause alot of makers are getting their knickers in a twist..and to rightly too. I think its not fair to take away someones thunder and copy the cut and design of a nappy....the make up so to speak is a bit harder to comprehend of some but so should we all point the finger at all MCN makers and tarnish them cause they all have to use swing machines and overlockers to make their products. Its starting to get a bit out of hand..and OMG the jealousy and over all *****yness of some sellers even..god...the MCN is big enough for everyone to have a slice IFYKWIM. were do we draw the line????

OK maz of her big box now

[Arimeh]

I was just making a comment cos I thought BumG's were patented?? (I'm sure I read that somewhere......) They are different in the way that they have microfleece on the inside where I *think* bumg's are suedecloth (aren't they!? I think so.. not sure.. having one of Maz's brain farts.. )

[maz]

sorry babe..didnt mean to come out like a tart

Ive made notice of 2 WAHM nappys having almost the same booster system adn i was pretty sure that one of them has a patent as well.

[teruteru]

I can't remember if anyone answered so I will double check - Will using liners help to avoid Tar stains when Leah is a NB? Or should we just use sposies for a few days so as to avoid Tar stains?

Gigi - I always got mainly neutral nappies before, so unless we have a big change of heart in the next 5 years, I wont be having a boy. I have permission to buy pink now because I am not likely to be using these nappies for a boy.

Maz. I will read Mat's thread in a minute. You know we love you.

Kat - Well done!! I am hoping I can really get into a routine with the girls when I have 3 needing attention and doing the washing and BFing.

WOEB: BumG
WOSB: Red Moo Moo CT

not sure if im in the right place , but my dd is 13 months and we have a range of brands one home made = 10 modern cloth .

i was wondering what you ladies do when your going swimming ? as ill never use the rest of the packet of the disposiable swimming nappies as we rarley go swimming away from home . i wondered what you do .

im talking the toddler pool not dunking under i have mostly "pockets" including two branded "Baby Bloomers" there white Vinal outside and a pink fleece inside , i usualy use a bamboo insert inside , do u think this would work , other wise i have 4 pea pods but thought they wouldnt repel with water off the out side , a princess pod which is simlar to the one bum genius pocket i have .

Sorry to Bom Bard i just wanted to ask the experts

Thanks Cheryle

[maz]

go go mel......can i come out...im so sorry babe..Im having the worst foot in mouth day today I think im gonna run away

i dont know about us being experts Cheryle Ive got a monkey doodles swim nappy (as do a few others) and I know some people just use a PUL cover for their bubs when swiming out

I had the hardest time finding the dame classified..thank god for the search button!!!

Yep have listed stuff in there but not nappies.

thanks for your posts girls but it shouldnt be an excuse for me ..im going to turn of and will return when maz can play nice again

Ali - I was just thinking of getting some old sheets or some bamboo/hemp material from spotlight and cutting it up as "pads" that I can just throw straight out, tar poo and all. Granted it doesnt last longer than a week so you wouldnt need too much. Unless the flushable liners are suitable? If their like normal liners you get from the supermarket then Im thinking it *could* seep through?

go go mel......can i come out...im so sorry babe..Im having the worst foot in mouth day today I think im gonna run away

Tis cool babe.. I'm not easily offended... I still love ya *mwah*

[Kitt3n]

ali - i was so worried about that! but by manner of not being able to wash (being in hossy after the homebirth) dh left the tar stained ones till i was able to wash - the poo had dried completely and it just came off, like dry mud - didnt even stain!

so just let it dry, would never have thought of that but it couldnt be helped and it worked really well!

[alioops]

Wow Kitt3n!! I might just tell DH to let those ones dry in the backyard and I will deal with the poo when they dry!!
