Cloth Nappies #173.

[1MOREPLZ]

We got our teething necklace from America....less than $20AUD including free postage it NEVER comes off!!!!! it isn't too long either... quite a nice fit

hmmm nappy related.... hmmmm it is a sad day here...i think all of our medium IB's have to be packed away...they are just too small how sad....Fluff is going to be sitting collecting dust

[NaNa]

ok, quick question that's not at all fluffy... what kind of nappy bucket do you use?
Reason I ask is I have a couple of Infa buckets someone got for me (DP or dad, can't remember, I was still pg). The lids have broken on both of them (overuse? or just cr@ppy plastic?). I need to replace them asap. Cheap and cheerful suggestions please?

fluff-a-holic - can I be fluff-o-matic? Maybe when Jack's up and walking, the medium ittis will fit again? I was about to retire the BPs we have but since DS is cruising and almost walking, he's gotten a bit skinnier.

NaNa...hmmm quite possible...BUT the way this boy is eating he will be needing extra large nappies!!!!!!

I hope my bubblebubs arrive today!!!!

He He, I don't use a nappy bucket perse - I use an old protein powder bucket, they have relaly good bendy, sealable lids. I think you can get the same sort of bucket from Bunnings and Mitre 10 for concrete and paint etc if you want to be an el cheapo like me.

Really hope my Bamboo Boosters get here soon, DD wet through her Couture last night in only 6 hours and was none too happy to be stripped at 4am, DH actually woke up and came and checked what was happenning she was objecting at me so loudly - and that's saying something.

DH then heard our damn mouse that won't die besides having 4 traps in the kitchen with tasty treats in them and tried to kill it with a broom (he has great dellusions about his speed vs a mouse, sigh - think I am going to have to get the old fashioned snap traps, this mouse is too clever and won't crawl into the no see or humane type ones) That's not really nappy related, but hey, I should only have to clean up one little creatures poop NOT two, especially when one is a terrifying little disease carrier.

Am wondering if the bamboo fitteds from Baby beehinds with both boosters & a tri-fold booster and wool cover would work for a good night nappy? WHen they eventually get in that is, I like the BBH Hemp, it seems really good quality, so am keen to get the bamboo one's. The NN's are really expensive!

NaNa - I think we have the same nappy buckets as you (from BigW, the white ones?). I have 3 going at once - one for River in his room, one for big lads wet nappies just inside the babygate at the laundry (so Ds1 can put his nappies in the 'wash') and one for big lads poop nappies in the kids toilet where the LS is. Seems excessive now I think about it but I have 3x nappies including one very poopy newborn and by bedtime 2 of the 3 buckets are overflowing. Maybe I should buy a big wheelie bin or something Sas's idea is a good one though, Id go check out Bunnings.

Urgh got our power bill in and nearly had a heartattack even though I knew it would be big being core-of-the-earth hot up here so the a/c's get a workout - now I feel naughty for even thinking about increasing the River-stash but I am so sick of madly washing and hanging up BBHs overnight then having to run them through the dryer anyway to get them soft and fully dry just to use them and do it all over again the next night *sigh* I thought b'fed babies werent supposed to poo as much as ff'ed babies.....Thankgod I bought my Widdlewuns before the bill came haha

AnnaT hun...personally....BF bubs poo more than FF bubs!!!!!! Jack when BF was pooing EVERY nappy change...since being on formula...is every 2nd/every day....but only once a day...

Hmmm got a heap of nappies to wash....best be off to get them started...

I gave up catching up on all the chatter when I hit p3, just too much for my little brain atm...my last 2 weeks have been hell due to multiple family matters on all fronts. at least dp n I have worked things out now, but there's still my mums husband (refuse to call him anything else cos he's so full of it) and dad n dp...tbh I'm gonna start breaking down but at least I got dp to back me up now. Having a lack of friends means I depend on him for most everything n when we have cracks I'm a lost cause iykwim.

amist all this dilemma I have a crawly clingy Monsta to keep my mind at bay thus I'm hardly online anymore. he's been my alarm clock every morning crawling all over the bed then an hr later he feeds n conks out lol.

Anyhow I really need a fluff fix to make myself feel better. After meeting Gigi the other day I think I'm gonna look into some narrow crotch night nappies n flongies/longies. I know its been talked to death before but I would appreciate if I can be told where to look as my time in cyberspace is somewhat limited n restricted to my phone too (as my Monsta likes to play with my lappy)...

This is what I'm after:
* narrow crotch night nappy (not too fussed abt pattern) preferably pocket
* Monsta is just short of 7mths n is 7.3kg
* he's not a huge wetter (using magicall atm) but JIC he decides to change overnight

Not quite nappy related but how would minky fair as pillowcase n mittens? Monsta's eczema is still not quite settled so need something soft for him to sleep on n also so he doesn't do night attacks on his face (hence the mittens)

TIA I've gone blank so much lately that I have no idea where to look for things no more

Lea, it's funny but my MIL keeps itching to get her hands on my nappies to wash them! She doesn't understand I only wash every second day so every time she's here I have to specifically tell her not to touch them. I just don't trust anyone with them. Sad, I know.

Teruteru, I find that the Genesa Forge nappies have a fairly narrow crotch and they are great night nappies. I'm a big fan and the fit is good for my girl who needs narrow crotch nappies.

I haven't been around for a while and I won't even try to catch up with what's been happening so hello everyone

[NaNa]

thanx for the bucket tips! paint bucket sounds good an' cheap, and a lot sturdier than my broken ones!

teru - the GF NNs aren't pockets, but they're fairly narrow in the crotch and customisable!

[alioops]

Anna - I have 3 buckets too. 2 Roger Armstong ones from Target (they are bigger) and 1 infa one for daycare. It works well for S to know exactly which bucket he needs. With the power - The AC's are on the tarrif aren't they? Much cheaper to run them than the dryer we found that if the dryer gets used lots our power bill is double, even with constant use of the AC's. So definitely worth building the stash to avoid using the dryer.

Kellie - Try putting a silk liner in, or you coule even try turning over the mini booster and having the bamboo against her, but keep an eye on how wet she is because it won't draw away the moisture.

Can't remember who asked but the MPM does have a thread and makes jewelery. She has decided to make them a regular range and said they should be about 2 weeks, depending on how much her new bubba sleeps.

I got an update from Greenbeans - my parcel is already on it's way!!!

Sas - What is it with guys thinking they are quick enough? Mine did that in our old house too!! We lived on a vineyard so the place was crawling with them and they wouldn't let us have the cat

Eej - I have a boohoo room thread about my appointment *mutters something about fuddy duddy Ob who is too lazy to see his complicated patients*

Well BBH Bamboo was on yesterday i used it for 1/2 hour and DD was crying and pulling her nappy. The wool cover was reacting with her skin and started getting welts on her her. it wasnt tight so i know it wasnt rubbing so i will get rid of the cover and see how she goes with a different one. has this happened to anyone else???

Ordered more BL... thanks Mel... Naughty enabler... always so tempting...

Thought i would have received my Lou lou today but nope... of well fluffy mail next week too... this week has gone so fast...

When i got my IB i looked at them and thought OMG i gotthe wrong size... then saw the tag,,, LARGE... i start thinking gosh DD must be big... put them on and Gorgeous fit... i think they are a new fav... Loving the strawberry patch one... and the moo i really need some matching BL have them on layby... hehehe

[Kitt3n]

HGL - i havent had that happen hun - has she worn wool before? she might be an extra sensitive bubba?

ali - you can get roger armstrong at target?!!>!>!>! the reason i havent bought another bucket and have just been using my wetbags is cos i wanted a matching roger armstrong one, but the stupid shop wanted $30 for the bucket and $11.95 for the lid, i told them to go jump!! must go to target

wohb - blueberry sidesnapping pocket with silk liner

[briggsy's girl]

[maz]

We dont have a nappy bucket as such...i bought a swing top kitchen bin for $14 from Kmart...works a treat and i dont have to lift the lid and be blown away from stencth everytime I put a nappy in it...I just aim for the lid and 'swish' its in and best of all...it sits on my laundry bench and doesnt look odd. Holds 2-3 days plus x 2 kids worth of nappies too

Went moo goo shopping this morning.....have run out just as Mateauz starts getting red again he had 2 molars thorugh and another 2 that are about to break through

BBL have 5 kids today so will be back later
