UGH YUCK!!! I spoke too soon :crying: NASTY NASTY NASTY nappy :( Oh well I better go put a hot wash on. Not that it has any nasty germs in it, just some lactose, but EEEWWWW I do not want to deal with that later!! Might as well just do it all now!!

ok come on, who got which nappy/ies @ the stocking?
I got the small one with lions on it, yay!
Rhoda - The part that took the longest is the fuel tank. They had the panels up here but had to order the tank and filler from the spare parts factory.
I behaved and didn't look. Still keeping my eye out for WC announcements on NC though.
That lions one is too cute Ray! Do you know what your having?
nope not officially
I just got an email from her tonight.:
If you scroll down on the front page of her site there is a mailing list sign up, pretty sure that's how I signed up lol, I've signed up for so many lately I can't remember what's what.
daintreedreams - welcome!
virtually our whole stash is side snaps, so i can help you.
side snapping covers?
- sugarpeas (two types of wool fabric ones, ie not handknits, but woven fabrics, and they also do malden mills fleece ones. most are block colours, but i have seen a pattern int he MM fleece called REEF - ocean theme).
- berry plush (minky cover)
both of these covers can also be turned into ALL IN TWO nappies, by buying the same brand snap in matching insert.
- staccinator (wool and fleece) - the wool ones are plain, the fleece ones you can get patterns like snowmen, flowers, etc.
- motherease AIRFLOW (not the RIKKI ones, which are aplix) - pale background with small pictures of animals e.g farm, zoo, asian,
if you want to try non-front snapping/non aplix cover options, there are also PULL UP covers e.g bear bottoms MM fleece covers - they come in night or day weight. very easy to use, i love them in the wee hours of the morning, no closures to fiddle with, just PULL UP and it's done.
sidesnapping aio, pockets i can suggest too, if you are after those.
Katones - was it you after Rumperooz? have you tried googling the word, then click on "australian sites". you should get some refs come up - usually retail stores and reviews.
Kitten, we love the dragondflymagiks too, those inserts dry super fast and are lovely n trim.
Katones - is it you bout to travel with mcn?
i recently had a three day trip to Melb - flying.
this is what i did. it's what worked for us with our
- flying then rental car
- one child family, who is two,
- staying in ONE place, a motel with a bathroom/bedroom that's it. Communal laundry that we didn't end up using.
packed:
small container of Aware sensitive
travel clothesline (from camping store)
laundry wash bags
packed HALF of my suitcase with nappies
used NIGHT NAPPY for the plane flights (tip i read about on Nappycino)
pail liner wetbag - kept in motel room, kept decanting dirty nappies into that
two wetbags for daily use in the nappy bag
tots bots flushable liners (useful if your child does formed/pastey poos)
Nature Babycare sposie wipes
facewashers for changes in motel room
ended up NOT doing a nappy wash whilst away, it was all too quick, we spent most of our time out of the motel room.
so i ended up packing the suitcase with the 1/3rd full pail liner wetbag - this is a drawstring affair only - cos all the poos got flushed down the nearest loo, there was no poo in the wetbag - smell factor was fine.
immed we got home, i hotwashed all the nappies TWICE (they normally get washed once per day, three days sitting in bag, they were PONGY!!), and it was fine.
being prepared, with enough wetbags, made it do-able.
i have
- the day's worth of nappies size - baby beehinds wetbag
- the day's worth of nappies size - nurture nappies wetbag
- the little jamtots wetbag
(these three are zippered)
- the swaddlebees pail liner very humungously big wetbag (drawstring)
for each flight, i used the daily nappy bag, as my carry on luggage - JIC suitcase got lost adn i had to "make do" until it was found. I also stuck a few mcn in dh's luggage, cos i am paranoid about luggage goign missing.
having a portable nappy change mat with me, was useful - not everywhere i needed to change her, was as clean as would be ideal.
where do you live? there might be a IRL nappy shop near you, to buy wetbags at, or buy from some online site that offers express post.
i think maz's idea to take three days worth of mcn, is a very sensible one.
i would not leave the mcn washing for more than three days. so if you went for four days, i think i would plan to wash on day two.
just some ideas, hth
wotbb: dragonflymagik night nappy (love it).
I would also pack stuff that can go in the dryer, like BBBs and PUL covers which dry quickly.
Oh dear, there are some pigeons outside being "naughty" ;)
WoHB - BBB with imsevimse PUL cover.
i just got back from holiday and only used half of the nappies i thought i would !! as i washed and dried in the dryer each night and i found that when i was busy , nappy changing went to the bottom of my list so instead of changing every 1-2 hrs DD got changed every 3-4 . and i used less nappies that way . so i guess i over packed , but if your not washing 3 days and night nappies seems good!
eww at the poo Ali !
i am so over TT .. DS just weed on the floor , he told me while he was doing it and made no effort to move ! then got upset ! he still poos on the floor and wont do it in the toilet !! he used to tell me when he needed to wee , now he wont !! he has been in undies for about 3 wks !!
i dont know !
anyway its a rainy ol' day to day so i can finally get around to listing all my nappies on B4B !!
its takes forever to write a listing .. im not looking forward to it !
quick question:
how do u fluff up bamboo inserts??
my new Gk inserts r soooo much softer than the one i already have. is it something ive been doin that made them this way? they feel so much better fluffy :rofl:
wow so much talk ...
Ecobubs - I would email the maker, WAHMs are usually more than happy to try and solve your issues with their nappies in my experience :)
Maz how exciting, I just looked at your store and there are SO many more than last time. Too bad your stocking is this week and not next :(
Well about the + lol I am not bothered either way :) Will be a much welcomed addition if it is, and if it's not that's ok cos it wasn't planned YK. But we both want more babies so that isn't an issue :)
I am not doing a test yet for a couple of reasons. Last time it didn't show up until I was 5 weeks, I can't really afford to go buy lots of tests this week lol and if it's a negative I will just be waiting anyways because like last time, i wasted about 10 tests before one came up a + and that was at 5 weeks ;)
So if I miss my next one then I know. I don't 'feel' pregnant yet so we will see :)
Nappies... hmmm nothing really lol
i found rumparoos at soul mothers - register your interest
emailed ecobubs, they are happy to send another to the store
