just showed my mum the Twinkle Lily's that i ordered last night - she loves them - said it will be great when she's looking after bub to just be able to say to dad "get the one with X on it" lol
BG - thats great she's all for MCNing! I cant wait to show my MIL all the nappies, atleast I know she'll clue in on how to nappy the new bub so I have someone else able to do it if need be. Just not sure DH will go for prefolds+covers.......I can hardly work snappi's as it is
Are you talking about the longies on b4b Kat? I saw the polar bear ones, so cute but think longies would be pointless up here and OMG they are exxy even on there! Have seen a pair of shorties somewhere though, just trying to decide if I want to buy them for new bub.
OMG KAT i wont go any higher then that. Looks like ive got a fight on my hands for the blue auriel though...
Anna - I might have a pair or 2 of shorties I can pass you way hon...I'll have a sticky for you
Ive just realised that we dont use our BBH bamboo's anymore time t go back to basic's for a while
Does anyone else do that? Have nappies they dont use for a while then go back and use the again and forget others?
WOMB - Mirabai night nappy and running stripes minkee cover
WOVB - white bubble bubs
Kat I always email the seller and tell them about B4B. I had Ashtons photos done the other day too. I had him in a WC embroidered Daydreamer. My pheonix one. It's a gorgeous orange and I had a top that was white and blue stripes with the same orange
Kate I love the minky magicalls There is a store on ozebaby that has a discount and freebies with purchases on baby beehinds over $100. I also like Wild Child and I think the AIO are on sale still
Willow Auriels are usually $40 new I am pretty sure. Seeing all these munch crunch ones go on B4B for sooo much I am so happy that I got the blue one for $20 and the matching top and flongies for $30! Seems like an investment LOL
Ali hugs hun. I hope your day went better. I love Dr Phil. Too bad I am never home anymore. I thought the Dr show had taken over??
As for you girls in rain and trackpants, thanks for taking our coldness away... it's been hot here! And silly me took Ash out for the day in the ergo of all carriers so he was hot and I was hot and bothered. Can't wait to get the Kozy I am borrowing!!
nappy news... well im annoyed that my sister changed her mind about cloth... AFTER I bid on some for her on B4B...
I have a big fluff package coming from WC... 4 blings, 2 AIO and a NN ... And I went shopping at Ollie Rose... I love their taggy stuff, Ashtons most chewed toy is his giraffe!
WOHB - WC fitted and BBH cover, about to become his Mirabai NN and longies...

for those who will have, or do have moo babies
lookee here, at a site called baybeecino.com.au
click on CLOTHING, then PRINTS
and behold,
you will see many cowprint baby things
alas no MCN, but you can't have everything!
Queen - i haven't looked at the buy for baby Auriel debarcle
are they the Hungry Caterpillar ones by any chance?
i think, sometimes a MCN maker makes some spesh nappies, with unusual fabric, gets so busy, she doesn't get the chance to make ones like that again, so it's the old DEMAND vs SUPPLY.
all the people that hyena-ed like mad, to buy the unusual Auriels in the first place, just about wet themselves when they realise, the lucky baby that got it, has GROWN OUT OF IT and the item is on buy for baby. The people realise how busy Cherub's Kiss is, they might have been on a waiting list for what seems like FOREVER, and they see the 2nd hand auriel as Their Last Chance to nab that spesh Auriel.
i agree, if i had not tried a brand before, i woudln't go nuts to buy an overpriced 2nd hand one. For all i know, AUriels MIGHT not suit my child?
but for people who HAVE tried an AUriel, it's brilliant on their child AND they LURVE the limited edition print that is up for auction, AND they have the money, um yes, it defies logic, but yes, nappies like that WILL go for more than they cost brand new.
When you're on a low income, the thought of paying so much for one nappy seems ludicrous. but there are people buying mcn who have a much larger income. i've seen nappies go off at auction on ozebaby for close to $200!!! ONE NAPPY! the demand was there, the hyenas were there, and they wuz cashed up. it's a very very MAAAAAAD world.
found another economical, plain wetbag
by HappyBabes, at the happybabes website
holds similar amount to the baby beehinds wetbag but different shape and no loop, it snaps on itself, so that's how you hang it up.
Have you seen nappy ruffle covers/bloomers on line? the type people put over sposies to cover them up? Please LMK any sites you ahve seen them, if you know of any. TIA.
haven't been doing the Nappy Hunt for ages, the month is slipping by.
It is Falguni's EDD today, can't help wondering how she is doing, is anyone else stalking her (chuckles with wicked laugh).
wotbb: KKAIO
keep taking a dry one off her in the morning. Haven't worked up the courage to night train her.
SHe's been mainly in MCN last two days, due to her being ill. She is not eating much and after all day of nothing coming out, not even wee, had what looked like a gastro nappy early evening. (just when i thought she was better). So no swim lesson tomorrow, don't want to put gastro germs in the pool.
LIMEY - sometimes with a fitted nappy that is too big, you can try putting an extra booster inside, and see if that takes up the slack (gape). if that is not enough, try it with a trifold added to the inside. if that doesn't work, leave it for a few months.
Kitten - yes, an orgasmical load of fluffy mail in that Aust Post box.
Katones - before you buy a night nappy, work out what you want.
- how many layers of absorbent fabric, does Jack wee thru currently? the bbh is a day nappy, night nappies have MINIMUM double the amount of layers of absorbency, that the bbh has.
- what sort of nappy closures suit Jack in the day? copy that for night nappies
- even if Jack is great in low rise nappies for day, high rise nappies are great as night nappies. work out his rise measurement, so when you are looking at NN, you make sure you buy the correct rise for him.
(to measure rise
grab tape measure
START at his navel
take tape down under him and up the other side,
STOP measuring when you get to small of back
That is his RISE
Write that somewhere near your computer
Refer to it each time you look at night nappies.)
Night nappy tips: (for when the THOUGHT of a NN is a bit spooky) aka for newbies:
(stuff to try, what works for one, may not work for another, but it's good to have something to try)
avoid tuck clothing into nappy e.g singlets, pj tops. The clothing will "wick" e.g absorb wee and become wet, as the night goes on
any clothing over nappy, needs to be loose
any clothing or bedding over nappy, in our case, has to be natural fibres that breath e.g no polar fleece onesies or blankets (but using polarfleece flongies works - go figure!!!)
.
bilby slept on a cotton sheet, with a lambskin rug under that, until she moved to a bed, that worked like a charm. Even being wrapped as a tiny baby, as long as it was natural fibres, eg muslin, we didn't get leaks. (i'm talking, as a five day old bilbster even).
change baby if they wake for a feed during the night
high rise nappies and high rise night covers - to cope with all the moving around bubs do at night
avoid PUL and FOE where possible, not for 100% of babies, but for many, this really helps.
(FOE is foldover elastic)
if you can, use lanolised handknit woollen items for your waterproofing - they work so well, even when it's over 40 degrees. I didn't attempt this until bilbs was over the runny poop stage, but many start much earlier, i'm just a wuss.
if you need to be able to machine wash, and need quick drying, low maintenance items, use fleece NN items for waterproofing
if you have a small NN stash, get some night pockets, night AIO's - they dry the fastest
for a tiny bub, night fitted and night cover can be a big help with the runny poop stage - just like for day time. if i had a winter nb, i would put them in nb sized flongies for nights.
bamboo trifolds and boosters are very useful, to customise the night nappy to your child's wetting needs. Hard to have too many of them.
there are some great PULL UP style night covers around, great for when you are changing in low light, or your bub likes to undo closures. (disana for wool, bear bottoms for fleece, and all the flongies i can think of, are pullup style).
if the night cover is wet in the morning, this is a sign your child needs more layers of absorbency in their NN, or that the woollie needs re-lanolising.
if you have trouble, read the "sagas of the night nappy" forum on Nappycino - ANYTHING you're going thru, someone else has been there before you!
So I bought the large ittibitti 6 pack half and half and a new wetbag, infact the exact wetbag Gigis talking about in green and an ANN calender. I ummed and ahhed and well I really wanted it
Was having contractions since yesterday at about 2pm, lost blood streaked mucous plug and everything..........obviously the little booger decided he's comfy for now so Im very mad and very tired Got a midwife appt this morning so Im going to beg for an internal and s&s. My guess is he was posterior and thats why it fizzled. I got so excited thinking of using my newborn nappies
Oh and Im sure Maz will update if I do miraculously have him sometime soon, pretty sure I still have your # in my phone chickie!
just poking my head in to ask a quick ? about an itti bitti nappy.
I only got them last week and have washed them a couple of times and Bella has worn it once, last night when I took it out of the dryer along with 9 other nappies this particular one sounds all crunchy like a plastic bag - I'm really pooed off now cause I had ordered some more.
What u think is wrong with it???
