Don't lose hope Cat - maybe he's got so much fluffy for you its slowing him down.. lol
There was something I was going to comment on from last thread.. ahhh well, can't remember.
Hey I got replacement inserts for my WC - they are bright red and purple - I held off washing them with the other nappies the other night cos I thought they might run... what do you think? How many times does michelle wash her fabric? Does anyone else have any bright red and purple ones? Did they run first wash?
kitt3n who is Renee?
no fluff here yet..or baby monitor mail...me wants that one especially!!! so Jack can go in his room!!!

Got some fluffy!!! AP dude must of heard me say I was gonna do the pooh slinging thing and came back an abbundance of quilts cottons.... woo hoo for moi
Tanya - leaving her to be at Macca's to meet some of the WAHMnap girls at 12 so will be leaving here at 9.30 and I dont care about Alicia coming....just email Cailin about it but I dont think it will be a big deal personally
Kitt3n - no havent heard from her yet...might email her now though
Maz, I have mentioned it to Wato, but he didn't say anything... so not sure if he is ok with me coming or not... would Alecia be able to come?? She asked, so don't feel bad saying no. What time are you leaving? I wanna come, but all depends on Wato.
Kitten yes I have tried HL. He is actually wearing his red and yellow ones at the moment but they are like always digging into his thighs sooo bad. Doesn't seem to be bothering him though and it's not really warm enough here today for just a nappy... Hope K gets better soon!

haven't read from the start of this thread
just coming in to post what i tried to post last night (and it wouldn't post)
all this talk of baby leg warmers, that's what i have on bilby tonight, it was 28 today, so it's nightie tonight, with her huggaluggs leg huggers. (when it's not quite cold enough for longies). i like that the Huggaluggs are made in Australia, and the fabric composition is very nice. They still look good after countless washes so i'm happy.
about the bbh covers
on different babies, this cover does work.
it's not that it's bad or anything, different covers suit diff nappies and diff shaped bubs.
it's made of sandwich PUL (so two layers of PUL stuck together) so it's sturdy.
they use hi tech 2000 aplix, best aplix you can get, so thumbs up for that
it's not as user friendly for use over prefolds imo, as there are no leg gussets
but it was fine for us, over small fitteds.
because the small cover fitted fine over her small fitted nappies
but it was hopeless over her flats
so i had to work out, WHAT to use it with and when.
bilby had chicken legs at the start, maybe a child with chubbly legs would experience a diff fit.
some of these things, you just don't know, until you try.
i also had some things happen that i didn't bank on
like our fleecy whizz kidz cover, i didn't EXPECT it to work well over a prefold, but it did! so that was great. the baby beehind bamboo foldup, folded into three, fitted into it just perfect and we did get pootainment.
leg gusset covers are designed specifically for use with prefolds
all depends what you are going to put UNDER that cover
what size/shape your bub ends up being
so there really isn't any BEST cover to buy, it's what works best for your bub, that ends up being YOUR best cover.
i'd just use the small bbh cover a little bit later on, over fitteds. i was such a flop at flats, maybe someone else had success with them over flats adn can tell you about that.
it was good to have a range of brands, style and sizes of covers,
so that when ONE cover didn't suit that particular nappy choice, i had something else to try.
PUL covers with leg gussets:
bambino mio
imse vimse
thirsties
motherease (the rikki, not the airflow)
bummibrites
the older style tots bots covers before this current range, i'm not sure aboutt the current range
Alioops, i sent you natural liners months ago, have you still got those? glad you're getting help at home.
maz - your latest fluffy mail sounds wonderful
kitten - LADYBIRD ENABLING - check out Wrigglebots (Melbel on this thread), she stocks the Kidorable ladybug range. i found gorgy ladybug stuff on the annegeddes us site, pity postage is so bleh!
bilby had super backwards tt-ing day today. started off great - another dry night nappy - breakfast in knickers - then we went out (My Fatal Mistake). ALL the three pair of trousers i packed got used. i normally only pack one spare set of clothes. she stopped telling me WHEN, she REFUSED to use the strange to her toilets. as soon as we got home - communication recommenced, toilet action commenced. ARGH!
have now packed
Potette with absorbent liner bags (if somewhere where there is no loo, or she doesn't like the loo)
wipe tablets
three spare trousers
three trainers
folding toilet insert seat (if she will use a loo, if one is available)
in our going out bag
blimey, so much for not having to pack mcn anymore, my bag is just as full for tt-ing!
i think i will take her out next, in trainers, with pullup fleece cover over the top for added waterproofing protection. She doesn't leave puddles with the trainers, but sometimes public loos are a long way away from where she is, when accident happens.
i think out next stage might be "knickers with pullup fleece cover" (going out).
So, home toilet and childcare toilet is FINE, telling me and her primary caregiver is FINE, anythign else - CHAOS RULES!
