Anna - Woohoo on getting mail through today!!! I was sure they would have the mail blocked!! They must have a decent snorkel on the postie's van.
We ended up with Maccas :redface: Em can have a hamburger cos there is no dairy in them, I checked.
I spoke to DH tonight. Haven't admitted to the nappies yet. But he is stoked about the dog!!!
lol yes bg, i kept looking at it every dayn for a while but i forced myself to refrain! wish i got it now, might see if they can make one for me
i love elephants you see
there was another heffalump one too - not sure if you seen that - i got it in my first order...
i have family that are heffalump mad - they will love seeing pics of Gremlin with a heffalump on her butt!
well, we have everything home again now - so all the nappy stuff that just got thrown into a box to get it out last week has to be sorted tonight - it will be like getting the fluffy mail all over again! woot!
wow that's interesting LS. I knew you shouldn't use it on girls but I thought the pure cornstarch one was ok. Oh well I will keep using it cos I am 100% sure it wont hurt Ashtons fallopian tubes :lol: and it really is working on his bum. No more red since I started using it :)
Well I think I made an error. I have a bits for bots, and I thought it was an AIO. Actually i am pretty sure the person I brought it off said it was and it's always leaked but I am thinking it's a fitted! It's all fleecy and there is no minky or pul there. Anyone have any ideas?
I just remembered something I have been meaning to ask people in here.
A few weeks ago I put a fleece cover over the top of my BBB fitted nappy which I use for night nappying. I must have done it up a bit tight on one side cos when I took it off the morning after there was a red ring on the outside of one leg. That mark is still there.... it has faded but still I thought it would go in a couple of days. Is this normal?
Secondly, are there any covers that can prevent this from happening again? I don't want to scar the poor boy for life IYKWIM!!
mummytummy i have done that afew times to Jack...he still has marks now over a week later on both legs :( i think i have done it once before aswell...now it is done up loosely (but tight enough)
WOJB ~ purple magicall
oh really ;) thats interesting to know :think::
Mummytummy and Kat - loosen your covers babes :) you dont have to have them so tight...I have issues with chunky thighs atm cause his IB are doing the same so I just loosened the setting and hey all gone.
Ive got a wiff.......someone's pg again................:fertilise:
Thanks Ali :hug::
Aricyn is in most mediums as well at 2 years...... *sigh*
ETA - Maz - DEFINITELY not me thats pregnant.
Kitten - seriously no rush for those nappies here, I'm not due till July! Just trying to sort out (in the most economical way since I've been made redundant :wall:) what I'll need to get etc so I've got time to build up my stash.
Hmm well Kat has a secret at the bottom of her sig, maybe?? Or Lets send STICKY VIBES to MelBel!!!
Gogo Mel, In HH's the tabs meet in the middle on Em. She is very skinny. I think she has had a growth spurt without putting much weight on, considering she runs everywhere now.
Kitt3n, I have a gorgeous Mommy's Touch pocket with elephants all over it. I dont know why I dont use it all that much. Would you like it?
Ali - yeah the tabs meet in the middle for Aricyn too - they must be built pretty similar.
mel - delay..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am hanging to know!!!!!!!!!!!!
should go hang some nappies up
Thanks Maz & kitten, I will investigate the mats.
What does any/everyone think of the sckoon nappies, has anyone used them?
VERY disappoint with my first peep-o experience!
Placed an order of some covers and a medium nappy...a beautiful annpy too! Called "faded blooms" - what a top name for a nappy! lol
Anyway, placed the order fine, and then I get an email from her saying that the nappy was oversold!! WTF?? I know it is a cart problem, the nappy had apparently been sold hours earlier and the quantity had not been changed - apparently. She didnt even suggest another nappy or let me know when any more nappies would be available (as it was pretty much the only medium left)...not happy jan!
Thankfully the iishfly order went through properly, so the afternoon wasnt a complete bust! lol
OK, rant over now! :)
I know :(:
I'm sad too
*sigh*
LS- i dont think she'll have any more nappies available as she's closing shop & jst selling the remaining of her stock...at least thats what the email i got earlier said anywyz
just popping in to say a Belated happy Bday to Maz...
sorry been flat out ladies... busy time
That is very disappointing news Rhoda!! :(
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAZ!!!
Willow - congratulations!
Nana and Maz - i totally understand the travelling in the heat thing, i would have loved to have met you too
Anna T
with night nappies, it's jsut like day nappies
a fitted nappy needs a cover (cos on a fitted nappy, the outer is made from non-waterproof material)
a pocket nappy already has a waterproof outer, so no cover needed
a all in one already has a waterproof outer, so no cover needed
day or night, it's the same thing
Alioops - how typical the cyclone warning comes, AFTER your dh leaves!
Us: we spent Sat/Sun and Mon in Melb, visited MIL each day, so strange to see her plugged into so many tubes and machines, she hasn't eaten for so long, she is literally skin and bones, looking like an anorexic teenager, no strength to even move. going in and out of reality, but she was happy to meet bilby, said to me "you must be so proud of her". We have no idea whether she'll leave ICU (for rehab) or not.
I got to meet the lovely Wardygirl and her three gorgy kidlets, i think Wardygirl gave me enough hugs for ALL you Melb girls! she is The Cuddle Queen! we had a lovely airconditioned time in a pub with a kids area, just a smokescreen so we could have cheesecake and cold drinks LOL. Wardygirl spoilt us totally with two lovely blankets with BILBIES on them, absolutely gorgeous!!! Screenprinted by a wonderful arty person who drew the bilbies, cannot get over this! Tried to take photos of bilby and Wardygirl's DS2 but they kept on crawling/running away, so i got Fluffy Butt photos instead ha ha - totally appropriate for this thread!!
I am still smiling, remembering our Meetup of Two, it was so cool to meet WG. I know if the weather was different, and i had been able to give you all more than two seconds notice, i might have gotten to meet a whole lot more of you.
Melbourne had a thunderstorm on the Monday morning, so dh and i raced bilby out to stand in the rain, SOOOOO exciting to see adn smell rain. bilby giggled, she has seen so little rain, i dont' know she really understands or recognises what it is.
BRIGSY - what happened with the fire?
is your house ok?
are you ok?
RHYB - glad you're out of hospital and that's great your grandma is there to help you. i know you want to do mummy stuff, but you will, just a bit later, when you're feeling more up to it.
QUEEN - we lurve the Foggo bottles too, the sippy cup and the toddler bottle - keeps the water icy for 12 hours! no more hot water in the car! bilbs adores it. well, she drinks it happily, so i join the dots LOL.
RHODA - MiZ Peep-o is such a nice person, she must be having a bad day, not like her at all. i am very sad to hear that Peepo is closing down.
BEATRIX - are you moving house?
MISSY - fleece or minky outer nappies, can have HIDDEN PUL layer. (to make it waterproof).
a FITTED nappy would not have a polar fleece outer, but it could have a micro fleece INNER.
go to the bits for bots site and look at the listings, maybe you will see something similar to what you bought 2nd hand. if not, email the bits for bots website, describe what you got, and maybe Donna can help you out.
market place
anyone after minky ai2's that are trim in the crotch - have a looksee on the Dragonflymagik site
anyone after OSFA aplix clsoing pocket nappies - seconds up on the ozebaby site, under Greenkids. good deal, it's two pockets and two inserts.
Kitten - like you, i only used the baby powder (cornstarch) when bilby had three rolls of fat on each thigh, the "creases" seemed to be permaently wet and sweaty, so i put powder there to dry it out.
but very interesting to read your explanation Limey, i'm glad i didn't put the powder anywhere else on her bottom.
wotbb: KK AIO
all in one night nappy
so it doesn't need a cover, cos AIO's are sewn using a waterproof outer.
the only ones that need a cover, are the FITTED night nappies.
hope that helps you AnnaT
Ok, the stash not including cotton prefolds and terry flats currently stands at 65 in the house. Some of that is smalls, mediums, larges and bamboo prefolds. But mostly OSFA. I know there will be more to come, there are new prints in the second week of march provided all is well so i will be buying them!!! And I am stalking Blings at the moment.
welcome back Gigi! so glad you had a nice weekend (albeit it VERY hot) in Melbourne!
will just update here on the fire situation - it hit the outskirts of town last Friday only a few hours after i left (pretty much as DH and my bro and SIL got out) - it was horrible. 30 homes lost between here and the next big town along (not that it's big kwim) - about 70 sheds, 10 cars. it is just a wasteland. the two fire fronts joined just before it hit town, so it was huge, came up through the plantation land that lays a bit over a km behind our house. crested the peak of the hill out the back, and took out all but three houses on the road just outside of town (i see it from my back door) - the houses on either end of the street are still there, and one in the middle - everything else is just completely gone. the front halted just outside of town (like maybe 600m from here) when it hit the creek/wetlands - the front just had no where to go. embers flew everywhere and we ended up losing a large patch of our bottom block (prolly near a quarter) from a spot fire - no damage to fences or gardens though.
another spot fire caught in bushland near our cemetary - i think they must have waterbombed the cemetary as not a single plot or plague is damaged even though there was grass fire out there. that fire came to within 15 houses of our place, but was kept in the bushland and no homes were damaged at all from that one.
the fire bugs still haven't been caught, and yesterday lit yet another fire locally - thankfully everyone is being hyper vigilant and it was located and extinguished quickly. as of last night, the fire was listing as contained - the total burnt land is 6385 hectares.
on a nappy note - my big bro and my DH decided to get all of Gremlins stuff out when they were evacuating, so everything was taken to my bro's house for safety - their thought being that our stuff is replacable - they knew i'd feel blah and not go looking for nappy stuff again if her stuff was destroyed! so very cute!! it all came home again today, and i got all teary! it was amazing to feel so overwhelmed by having it all back at home again
good morning ladies!
maz, i wonder who your wiff is? exciting stuff
bg - nice one on ensuring all gremlins stuff is ok, i probably would have done the same! have you seen the starbunz cow aio? too cute
ali - nice count, i am stalking blings too. i'd be absolutely stoked to swap for anything elephant! I have a small pink peapod, would you like that?
gigi- welcome back, this thread was missing a beat while you were gone! so sweet to know bilby saw rain, i have a fmaly friend who's son is 5 and he has never seen rain.
rayray - i havent used a sckoon nappy but i too am curious, the blue one looks preeeeety
willow/mel - i have mels stash in an envelope, clean and ready to go, someone just confirm where you want them posted? it is a greatlil nb stash willow :)
sticky vibes for melbel????? please explain???
I emailed iish to see if she will do that elephant nappy for me, i really hope she does
matisse wore her pop n over night, and did a massive nb poo in it this morning before i had a chance to change her, all contained!
going to order some bling, might see if i can get hubby's business logo, then its a tax write off woo hoo!!!!!
and a q - last night little laa did a very bubbly, almost like soda poo, followed by a jelly like poo not long after, is this normal?????
done that now maz...must have been a night of bubba brain...coz i never do them up tight..just those 2 times...:
DEFINATLY not me preggers unless a little spermie has figured out another way round to an egg...coz my tubes are blocked (surgically) and Jack was an IVF bubba...
thanks for all the positive thoughts girls! the heat and broken sleep was probably the cause for it being up on monday, but back again next tuesday to make sure its still ok!
I better not let DH see this thread and find out how many nappies you all have, he may change his mind about going cloth lol!
Hmm..
DS has the WORST rash I've seen - blisters.. poor little man... slathered on the moogoo - so hopefully that will start working soon. Poor thing. Must be those damn teeth.. stupid molars... sooner they are out the better.
WOAB: LOTS of moogoo and green BumG
WOMB: Purple IB
Yeah Gigi but this one has nothing but 2 layers of fleece. There is no pul in the middle. I think that means it's a fitted... silly me! No wonder it was 'leaking' :rolleyes:
LOL missy now you know why it is leaking
BUT correct me if i am wrong..but if you put 2 layers of fleece together it will leak won't it?? it will repel the water and not soak it up..as a fitted would...
Anyways...
Mel i hope the moogoo starts working soon for Aricyn :)
WOJB ~ BBB / Longneck minky cover
I missed 4 in the count last night. make that 69 nappies.
Kitten last time Maz got the whiff of a pg it was Melbel, but sadly that angel was too perfect for this earth. So I am sending sticky vibes before I know that it is her ;)
Well Em is rashy on her thighs again. She has been weeing a bit at night and it is where her thighs rub the outside of her nappy.
Best go and clean the house, got a valuer coming today.
I tried out the moogoo MSM last night. DS was playing at my aunty's house and went for a tumble on the grass. He gets rashes from grass (not sure if its an allergy becuase they dont seem too severe, but he has really sensitive skin, esp on his face) so one side of his face was covered ina red rash from the grass. I forgot to have a close look this morning but i didnt notice it, so I think it has cleared up pretty nicely - its normally 3-4 days before it goes, so I will check again tonight.
Yay I got another preloved Sandman for Ripley! Planes and trains this time.
For those who've MCNed the under 6mth-ers, what did you use as a night nappy? Did you buy one thats specifically for nights or because you usually change them when they feed do you just use normal nappies and/or covers?
AnnaT we use a sandman on Jack (have for a fair while now) and a special NN from a special someone :D he is a BIG boy and fits easily into the sandman...other than that i use a BBH bamboo
More miscounting, missed the bag that got returned yesterday and can use some extra AI2 insters in normal covers. That brings it up to 77. Hmm considering I started with 2 I think I did well!!
Anna - I never used cloth until Em was 9 months or so, but I am planning to use a fitted with extra boosting for Leah, or a CT with extra boosting, coz that is what we usually do for Sarah and Em. We only have a couple of dedicated NNs.
Well I better get on with it, the Valuer will be here in under 2 hours. I have just put the outdoor setting back outside and I need to clean the lounge and kitchen.
Anna - I change Miss M at 10.30pm into her night nappy of a BBB....
Anna, i use BBB with wool cover or a pop in
guys i need some help - i won an auction (well two) on B4B and the seller quickly sent me invoices, but when i sent her and email to ask about combining postage the email addy was wrong - so i sent her a message on b4b (my first auction win so dont really knwo what i am doing there).... how long should it take to get a message back, do they get back to you on the site or do they email you?
I don't know kitten.
Kat it has a booster too lol And stuff in it but i mean the top and bottom layers, the shell basically :)
K - they should reply either way. When you post a message they will also get an email notification of the message. So just keep checking your inbox as well as the site message board. If you dont get a response shortly though adn the email that they have as the contact for the site is wrong or not working I would also contact the site with your concerns and that way if you miss each other and she thinks you arent paying or something, someone else will know what is going on :)
Well done on your first auction win though!!
Anna - we used flats and covers until about 3 months then after that I used sposies for her overnight. she was too small for a NN anyway and it was so hot in Perth that time of year I thought they were too bulky. It also meant that by that time I was sleep feeding her largely, I didnt have to change her so often over night and wake her up iykwim.
Ali - how did the valuation go? Good stuff on all the cleaning you have been doing, cant have been easy
Just made my first Twinklwlily purchase yay! $40 AIO so I hope they are good! lol it is a lot of money, but it was just so gorgeous I couldnt resist.
Twinklelily are about to begin stocking on Nurture Nappies too for all those interested
Tried Charlotte's new BBH on her today - and she pulled it off!! lol she is loving her nappy off time atm....keeps weeing without her nappy on and seems to be waiting for a nappy free run before doing a poo in the corner of the bedroom...pmsl it is like a dog!
WOHB: after finally getting the BBH to stay on by putting a skirt on over it, we are now back in a sposie :(
sende a piccie of it missymoo..i am intrigued...
my poor lil man has been constipated AGAIN!!!! am over ALL the constipation probs this kid gets!!!! his poor lil bott...
i am awaiting fluffy mail...5 nappies due to arrive...
and guess what...my hubby said if i get the KRudd moolah..i can buy nappies!!!!!!coz he was checking out our stash..and asked which are the new nappies....BUT there are NO new nappies :p
WOJB ~ Lime IB and moogoo
Limey, yeah it was fine, He just needed to check what was already in the house and take a couple of measurements. Maybe the prosepctive buyer will buy it but not fussed if they don't, not like it affects us either way.
I have to go make a sandwich for Sarah, she had a huge lunch so I am not doing a massive dinner tonight, just sandwiches.
WOEB: Blue BumG
WOSB: Sunny Side Up CT
I got fluff! 2 beetlebums AI2's. Very, very noice. Am again impressed by the quality of them. In the wash can't wait to put them on the little munchkin!
Kitten-I have had probs contacting a buyer on B4B, but they eventually checked their message board and got back to me. I'd give it a few days. ;)
