Cloth Nappies #165.

Gigi - I found the GF site a bit confusing but after I emailed her you can actually choose minky outer and fleece inner and the insert is bamboo - yes it is snapped on both ends but kinda buckles and bunches just a little - didn't bother ari but looked a bit bulky through the middle but it is a BIG thick insert - so will experiment with them tomorrow and see if I can make them a little trimmer.

Starbunz - backwards huh? Don't think I ever realised that????

Toilets - is there anything simialr different? height, smell, colour, room size maybe? My DS hates narrow public toliets - he always needs help when we use them and up until recently needed help to get on and off them but he has sensory processing/autism and I think the narrowness effected how he felt - does that make sense.

I am up way too late but I am so excited I might just pee my pants.
I found two extreme Icons, both dumb luck, hopefully I can find at least one more hehe

COW PRINT ALERT for newborns
site is called ORGANIC BABE
either
put in search window COW BOOTS
or
scroll to bottom of home page, in the green writing at the bottom, you'll see "australiana range", click on that, you'll see a range of booties, scroll down to COW BOOTS

cushie tushie has a very cute looking doggy print, bit different from dalmation spot minky. the violet colour is very noice too. and the sunflower.

i need another nb to mcn obviously.


STARBUNZ - i worked out i had put them on backwards. i was thinking - snaps at the front. wondering why label would be at front. then i remembered, in the photos online, you dont see the label, or snaps. so that's what twigged me, i had been putting them on her back to front. :bangshead:

i found the GF site confusing too. it must be hard to offer so many choices, and make the site user friendly too.

ll80 - you are a Nappy Hunt Legend! well done. i dont' even attempt the extremes, too demoralising, i don't even get most of the normal ones, let alone EXTREME. i think the extreme is for Extreme Torture in Not finding them.

Ohhhh well done ll80 - that's impressie dumb luck or not.

ll80 - AWESOME!! I havent even looked at the extremes yet - well done hun!

Saram - I am staying up for latest warning too. Dont want to be waking up to the roof blowing off if he does turn. I know it isn't likely but they have been wrong about his forecast direction multiple times today. And of course everyone has been clogging up the network so I spent 3 hours trying to get hold of DH and then he kept losing signal, so we just finally managed our conversation and he has gone to bed. Thankyou for your help today hun, I really appreciate it, and I am sure your DH was happier when you got home.

Gigi - Move up here hun, you can MCN my newborn for me to live vicariously through the newborn fluffyness!! I am sure Anna could use some help with 3 in nappies too ;)

ll80 - unfortunately some of us don't need to be excited to accidentally pee our pants :redface: My pelvic floor aint what she used to be and someone keeps kicking my bladder.

I havent done any hunt for a few days. Just have been so over it with Em's tanties that I don't have the brain power with the huge headache she gives me.

Sarah has used 3 night nappies tonight :wall: She yells that she wants the toilet AFTER she has done it, or she fakes going to the toilet to get out of going to bed and then when she does actually need I say no coz she only got off 5 minutes ago :wall:

I am sooooooo looking forward to next weekend. I need a break!!

WOEB: Cloud CT with extra booster and soaker
WOSB: Some sort of CT, I can't remember which one because she has used a few tonight.

No worries Ali - just need to do my own yard holy smokes it is a mine field at the moment, I didn't realise how bad it was till I got home. We have got nada wind here at the moment and I am staying up trying to do this assignmetn in case we are powerless tomorrow. Someone just needs to fart in Kelso for the powerlines to come down.

:ROFL: at you and your pelic floor

Bummer on the night nappies - Ari used to go through 2-3 every night still haven't found a solution, waiting for some gorgy nappy creations to be released which will hopefully solve my problem.

Maz - loe the sound of your cuddlesncloth! renee is awesome - which reminds me I need to pop in and pick up my new giraffe nap (not for me :-(

Nappy news - I hae two full nappy buckets if anyone is bored and wants something to do.... nope thought not. the joys of haing a million nappies

:hug: to you girls up North. Hope all is well up there ATM!

Sarah welcome :D

Sarahm it could be the smell too. Mason is very sensitive to smells.

Gigi LOL ;)

Wow ll80 well done!

If I'm MIA it's because I'm tidying up for tomorrow rofl ;)

mum is throwing me a baby shower today with lots of family friends i've known since - well forever! she has decided to come up with some games and stuff - one with people trying to change a nappy one handed - she asked SIL for old sposies in small sizes (she has none - her youngest is four!) so asked me for "simple" clothies - hmmm - they're ALL simple - so she clarified - little ones with velcro not snap closure - and they have to be gender neutral as most of these people don't know Gremlin is pink! managed to find two microdoodlez - they better be enough - all the other little sized stuff either has snap closure - or is REALLY obviously girlified!

BG - you could take the girly ones and say you have borrowed a few if anyone asks. Boys can hide pink under their clothes anyway, and you have frinds that have young bubbas.

they'll survive with two! would be a bit too obvious seeing no one out here uses cloth so i'd have to say i borrowed from Melb friends which, given they are brand new, NO ONE would buy lol

Cyclone missed us. I can even see.............SUN yay.

Cruddy night sleep last night, lots of ouchie cramps in my tummy, thought for a min there I was in labour. Very hard for me to walk he's so far down in my pelvis.

But I did have a MCN dream :rofl: I was doing the GDUNH in TOWNSVILLE, racing around to all sorts of places looking for actual nappies (some real brands, some made up). Was silly. See what your all doing to me (and Im not even doing the GDUNH).

Have a great time at your babyshower BG!

Anywho better go and have some breaky get dressed before midwife pops by.

Earthquake last night shook some of the nappies off the clothesline. Freaky...

Anna - The cyclone hasn't missed us. It hasn't moved south enough for us to feel the force of it yet. It's still up near Cairns but expected to be closer to us tonight. It's category 3 now instead of 2 as well.

Well I managed to get all of my nappies clean and dry so I'm happy.

I looked up flongies, should have just googled - DUH.:redface:

I have some fleece here to make some for DS, thinking he won't wear them until it gets cooler though. Maybe I can make short ones?

I don't like my Itti's but I'm finding they're getting a "scrunchy" feeling to them, the PUL I guess?

Hey Cheeky monkey are you in Townsville too! We seriously need to have a Townsville cloth nappy meet up!

AnnaT - That's funny - that's exactly what I want to organise for the next GDUNH and Reusable nappy week, a real nappy hunt in T'ville - like a car rally :-) Ditto on the cyclone still coming, should come through between now and 7pm tonight but is running paraelle to the coast and we will probably miss the worst of it if it continues on it's course, we only hae damaging wind gusts, from Ayr it's destructive wind gusts. Oh and we are suppose to get some flooding too.

Nana - scary on the earthquake!!!!

BG - hae a beautiful baby shower, take lots of pics!

Ali - how did your night end up?

Gigi - trainers were much better without insert! Ari even pulled them up and down herself (a first) She did wee in them and the outside was damp but no pddles. I have cut the insert up so their is only one layer, just need to overlock it so I can use it.

Yep I'm in Townsville too. Guess I should update my profile thingo now that I have 25 posts.

I don't have all the fancy nappies you ladies have, just two itti's and the rest I've made myself. The itti's convinced me it was just as easy (and cheaper) to make them myself, and I keep missing store stockings anyway lol :rolleyes:

woohoo another Townsvillite! Well done on making your own! If I could I would too! I hae some PUL cuts here if you would like them - I won't be using them ever!

:hello:

Hmmmm... :think:

Ummmm...... :think:

Yeah....
