I definitely wouldn't say no to a loan of nb/small stuff. And yes, I'm in Sydney for whoever asked?
I had MCN for DS as a newborn but to be honest, I had a bit of post natal anxiety and it took me about 12 weeks to get into cloth full time. My brain just wasn't in my head enough to deal with the washing etc.
For the new bub I'd have:
10 BumG OFSA pockets
3 BBH fitteds
2 BBH small covers (on loan to a friend but i"ll get them back)
3 mandy mac fitteds (ditto)
2 small peapods (ditto)
2 baby kanga OFSA pockets
These are mostly nappies I currently use for DS but I will get him some more IB d'lish and that would do him I think.
I also have 4 white BumGs that i was going to sell for a friend but might keep them for myself. They do need the elastic replaced though, I might ask FJ if she could help me out again, she did some peapods for me a while back.
I was going to get rid of all of my BumGs because i was having issues with stink - but I think I've finally sorted that. Not using detergent at all in my nappy cycles now and lots of time in the sun and it seems to have done the trick over time. Thank goodness I held onto them!
This seriously doesn't feel like it's really happening....
anyhoo.... can you use lanolin with MCNs? or do you need a liner?
poor DD pooped overnight and has a red roar bum, moogoo has helped but it needs something to keep wee off as its aggrivating it.
i've got some organic lanolin on her now but put her in a sposie just in case, her butt is so small boohoo!
Willow - If its alright with Cat - she can drop off the newbie stuff (or you pick it up - whatever) I let her borrow off me - you can check it out - see if you want to borrow any of it, if not, we'll work out a way to get it back to me.
missymoo- cant tell u abt the ecobub yet. its waiting for me at the PO hahaha
kerrie- hope everything goes well, natural or c-sect? we'll definitely hear more frm u soon!!
forgot everything else *sigh*
im hardly using my magicalls cos they take awhile to dry, so im jst going to keep 2 of the 4. Do u think i should trade them for other nappies or jst sell them??
no liners, but I could just cut something up and put that in there, one of DD1's old fleece jumpers or something.
Hate sposies, her wee smells in them, took me 10 mins to fish out the bounty bag for a huggies sample lol
LL80 - definitely no lanolin (or anything else creating a barrier) on nappies hon. Unless you want to use them as covers LOL. They'll repel moisture instead of absorbing it, and there's not much that will get lanolin out of a fabric (easily) that won't trash your nappies. Definitely use liners!
Is there anything I can use that acts like powder? Obviously powder is prob a no-go but anything natural like cornflour etc? Or is natural creams the only thing?
I use johnsons baby powder, the cornstarch one with no problems
Also there is one called bottom balm from natures child. I LOVE it! I use it all the time and it smells wonderful and you only need to use a tiny bit. I have had my tub for about 3 months Almost finished so i need to get more which Ill be doing soon. Can't harp on enough about the stuff!
I saw the bottom balm, and also the black tube paw paw at the naturopath tonight.
Lots of natures child stuff - has anyone used their MCNs or their wipes?
ray ray - i have their wipes , i want more . they are alot bigger than normal cloth wipes but so much softer DD sucks away on one most of the day ..
ummmm im gone blank ..
err ummm ...
oooh Powder - i use mineral powder on DD with no probs , its natural and safe .. cornflor stright out of the pack is good here too , but cornflour can feed NR if its fungaly kiwm .. if its just rashy then its ok ...
cna you use moogoo on your face ?? cool .. i lvoe it but was worried it was too thick !!

I had a lovely catchup with Saram today, she made my first kids free daytime in 4 months quite relaxed and happy. I also managed to finish the red tape for the Daewoo, so now I can sell it!!
Day care were fine with Em's nappies, but I forgot to send the wetbag . They rinsed off the pooey one for me, so I need to do the washing when Em is in bed tomorrow, even though the new CTs I have already put in the rotation without a prewash - I know - Naughty Me!!
I am thinking about putting all this rain in a few buckets and sending it south for you girls in dry places, We are very soggy and a bit over it for now!!
I am as far South as you can go hun and please I don't want your rain lol it was cold and wet today Bring back the sun! I totally agree with you about the peapods. I do use them and haven't had a problem yet but if they had more snaps they would be a lot better.
GoGo Mel - I keep foretting to let you know, Em is only in medium size, and she is nearly 18 months. Sarah is in larges.
Em did a poo on the toilet before they had their bath tonight!!! I need to get into the habit of putting her on the potty while I fill the bath though, every time I take her nappy off while I fill the bath she pees on the floor.
good thing DH hasn't seen them all, I have to stop now, as soon as I have paid you Lea
