I use to hate sewing..couldnt do it for the life of me then one day I just did it...taht was 2 1/2 years ago and i havent looked back.
material I got.....skull heads with blue eyeballs on a black background with roses and vines...really cool and punk looking, cheeky monkey faces and little giraffe's that are so cute.
Anna - minkee fleece lined sound pics have turned out so well...thankfully ive got more polar beer's heading my way
gotta wake a little boy...he's sick atm and has been asleep for almost 4 hours
thanks Kitt3n
i want a grey t-shirt size 0..anyone know where i can get one?? or would it be best to dye a white tshirt?? want it to match a nappy cover
Sarah hasn't even noticed the covers yet, because she has been a good girl and stayed out of the lounge room!! Too much for them to break in there so it is a child free zone.
Kat - Long of short sleeved? I think I have nice bonds long sleeved here.
maz hunny bunny...how are those pot o golds coming along?? huh huh???
nappies are on washing....
My little man is still sleeping and i am NOT waking him!!!! he woke at 9.30am and didn't sleep til after 1!!!! so he can miss his 2pm feed and sleep abit longer....
oooohhhh he is now 8.06kgs
BG - i think sherpa is 2-3 washes, thats what I remember from the Very Baby nappies I had for DS.
And Gigi ( I think it was you) thanks for the info on how often to prewash stuff, now I know why I thought my hemp pocket inserts were cruddy, theres no way I'd prewashed them 7 times.
i am getting a custom fluffy bubs made!!!!
light blue minky with red embroidery saying "GO WARATAHS" on the bum
we are tahs fans in this house (rugby union for those who don't know)
OK so I looked on the GF site, and theres a 6 pack listed as "daycare nappies" ? Whats the difference between that and regular ones for home - is it just that they are plain and no-fuss?
lol Rayray..i am a kiwi...so union is in my blood
and hubby says it is the game played in heaven....i keep telling him he should let go of his old fella...hehehe
i can't wait for this nappy to arrive...then hubby will want to change Jacks bum!!!! mmmmaaaawwwwaaahahahaha
Oh now Cheeky youve got me all upset because I dont remember who you are. Give me a hint?! Ive met alot of people since we moved here, some Id soon forget and some I havent seen regularly.
Im pretty sure Maz is stocking end of March again - that right Maz? Im stalking her night nappies for River lol
Ray - I *think* the GF daycare nappies are a specific colour and just a basic nappy, sort of a just for daycare thingy. I ordered the caterpillar custom AI2 day nappy with all the frills so Im guessing the daycare ones might be a bit plainer/simpler? I use my bumGs for daycare because a) I dont really like them and b) they are pretty self explanitory in the usage department. If they get ruined by any chance I wouldnt be heartbroken, my Itti's or Iishfly's though, now I would be broken and wailing if they did
Am I the only one who's DS doesn't require night nappies? He's 18 months and lucky to have one small wee in his nappy in the morning if anything at all.
I was thinking of getting sandmans as you all rave about them, but thought to myself it seems silly if he barely wets at night. *fingers crossed* he stays that way?
Anna, my name is Ashleigh. We met at MM a while ago. DS is Phoenix.
I'm pretty impressed with WC's Elise had one on for three hours on the way home from dropping DH off at the airport, got home and thought no I won't change her cause we hadn't had a poo yet and wanted to see if it would hold it in when it was already wet.
IT DID!! nappy was completely wet and held a pretty good pooplosion, she's on the tightest setting M/L lol you can't make it any tighter, I thought might be a bit loose to hold in the poo but it wasn't.
I got Fluffy mail
From Robyn at possum pouches/ceejay nappies.
I feel a bit bad though, soooo much stuff for sooo little money. 6 nappies, 1 knitted soaker, 3 boosters and 3 wipes and a wet bag all for $60 and she didnt even charge me for postage. I know she says she does it to encourage mums to use cloth but I dont even know if she could cover expenses for that sort of money. Feel a bit guilty really
Might put a little more in her acc
Think my WC night nappy and bling have arrived at my old house, will go back and look on friday. Hope so
Then its no more bloody nappies till barge a*se gets out from under my ribs. Swear to god he was using one as a trampoline last night
Well ladies, im sad to say i've only got 1 bum in cloth in my house now
Shelby has finally decided that the toilet is alot better than nappies which is bitter sweet i guess
Maybe i should buy seb a new nappy to make myself feel better
Hope you're all well xoxo

ali - did you see my post about the wipes and childcare?
Today bilby was in a creche while i was at community craft morning, and the creche lady changed her, and put the USED nappy, back in the pocket for the clean nappies, not in the wetbag. So after craft, bilby needed a change, and i, unknowingly, put the USED nappy on bilby, not knowing it was not a clean one (cos it looked clean). I was so distracted by bilby squealing, wriggling etc, i didn't even notice the extra weight of it (wet insert).
but i thought, there is no used nappy in the wetbag, and i'd just been told "she has had one change during creche" so i thought - oh no, has the creche lady THROWN OUT our lovely minky pocket nappy thinking it is a sposie?!!!
went back to ask, she explained she didn't know of a wetbag, and we discovered, yes, she had put used nappy in the "clean nappies" section, so that mystery solved.
i was so relieved she hadn't thrown the minky pocket in the bin or something. Yes, bilby had ANOTHER change, this time into a new mcn, she was not best pleased about that.
bilby did her first wee in the toilet at childcare yesterday, she wouldn't do it for her primary care giver, but she waited until i came to collect her, and asked me to come with her to do it. We spent one hour in total (doing pickup) by the time bilby had had a snack, breastfed (complete with all the toddlers who stand and ask a gazillion questions, shown me the little loos, experimented with door and the locks, "DOOR DOOR" and had three times told me she wanted to BEE BEE (It sure is a new challenge, putting nappies on and off her, standing up! ), all the running away when i want to put on her shoes, anything i ask really, results in whining, squealing.
then crying all the way home, cos i had no more snacks for her. one hour and 20 mins and i was ready to give her away. 20 mins of crying when we got home, dh walked in the door, and she had stopped crying 30 seconds before that.
monkey fabric you say maz? how many metres did you get? ooo ahhh ahhh as bilby says (ten gazillion times a day at the top of her lungs!!). i'd love to see a pic (when you have one, IF you take any).
Katones, i love the look of those Ffluffy bubs too, if i had another bub, who suited front snaps, i would def get that one. sniff.
about the monkey doodles, from what i read of the product description, the absorbency layers of that nappy (an AIO, right?) is microfibre. So if the number of layers of microfibre isn't enough absorption for your bub, then i guess the nappy wouldn't suit. i'm guessing they would be a terrific nappy for a light wetter.
a number of aio's use three or four layers of microfibre for absorbency - that suits some bubs but not all.
i found using microfibre for boosting the inside of a nappy, could be rather bulky too, as Arimeh said, causing the gaping. I'd rather use less fabric and more absorbent fabric e.g a bamboo booster instead.
when we used microfibre, i preferred to use it as a pocket insert, like a carcloth folded like a prefold, inside a pocket. it seemed less bulky, and i didn't have to worry about gaping. but then bilby started outwetting it, but early on, it was useful (to have microfibre cloths on hand). 5 for $12 in the car washing cloth section at big w. all depends on your child's wetting style.
Gigi - I did see that, but we are also looking into FDC ATM, so I am just sending them there until the bill is paid off and then changing. If Em gets rashy I will see if they can as part of rash management considering they ask me to provide a cream that is ok for her nappies.
I suppose I should get some housework done but I am rather sore today. I do need to do a nappy load and some dishes, and will try to clear the couches but right now I think getting dressed and collecting the mail is a big enough task!!
I remember you Cheeky Monkey, welcome to BB and the world of MCNs
Really should wash all my fitteds for bub again a couple times before he's born but its still crap weather here so Id have to dry them in the dryer, would that be really bad? They are just BBH and ClothdUp fitteds.
oh girls behave
pics have turned out so well...thankfully ive got more polar beer's heading my way
and has been asleep for almost 4 hours
Need to get me some covers.
