Ray - I don't think you can have too many. As long as you remember to empty and wash them :sick: Might be a good idea to have 2 in your bag at all times with 2 in cloth though, 1 being NB.
Sas - YAYAYAYAY for an enabling DH!!!! I wish mine would enable me, but I think he thinks our stash is big enough, even while he is the one washing it all (and losing bits :wall:)
Thinking I might need to get my wheat bag out, BH in my back :(
DS is day time TT already, and currently in sposies at night but I didnt know they had night time training pants so am looking in to that, any recommendations?
Gigi did a huge post in the previous thread about TT pants ... worth reading that RayRay!
I have 5 wetbags - 3 GK and 2 BB that I rotate through :) I also use them as changing mats when I forget mine :)
Little Man's still asleep, in a starbumz ... doh. Not game to wake him!
Thanks I found it. All the ones I look up say they arent for big daytime sleeps or nighttime, other than one brand (I think it wasHH, cant remember) will wait and see what i hear back from the online store I emailed
Check out Noonee Wilga site Ray - she does customs and all sorts of variations on training pants, they are fabulous apparently.
thats the one I have emailed, i knew it was a strange sounding name :)
hmmm they look really cool.
tra la laaaaaaa
Helen, i had a many shelved bookshelf next to the changetable. On each shelf, i had baskets. ($2 cheapies).
one basket for fitteds, next to a basket of covers, next to a tray of liners (staydry, natural, silk)
one basket for pockets (already assembled, with flushable liners inside)
one basket for A12 (boosting snapped in, flushable liners inside)
one basket for night nappies, one basket for night covers/woollies
one basket for day woollies
one basket for "going out nappies"
childcare bag always packed with same "childcare nappies", unless they were in the wash.
a set of stationery drawers to have the inserts,boosters, trifolds etc.
wetbags hanging from a hook on the wardrobe nearby.
I did my assembling/prepping of nappies in bulk, ahead of time, cos i needed to have the mcn all ready to put on a wriggly bub. i think it would have stressed me out too much, to be searching for stuff, and assembling it, WHILST bilby was on the changetable - but i do get anxious pretty easily - we're all different.
my home is like a bomb hit it, but i had the mcn organised, cos that's the only way i could cope. Not super neat, just grouped so i knew where stuff was - one less thing to stress me out. So it might sound super organised, but it wasn't obsessively neat or anything.
i went thru 19 months of bilby being awake every two hours - i was a walking zombie - so i had to make it super easy for myself.

mcn of the moment seem to be:
bundle of buns (or something like that!)
fluffy bubs
genesa forge
pop ins
mini la la
i know nudding - i just listen to what everyone else is having fun putting on their bub's butt
ARIMEH
wot a man, wot a man, wot a mighty mighty GOOD man (channelling salt n pepa) you so crazy, i think i wanna have YOUR babeee
LIMEY
we had a matter of DAYS on the potty, before bilby decided that the TOILET was the only way to go. High step stool and toilet insert is what we have gone with. But she did need a potty to gain her confidence with, first - before transitioning. Bilbs is so short, even with an extra high step stool, her feet still dangle from the toilet! hence many accidents falling off said toilet.
potette is good for when you r somewhere w no loo eg beach/park.
alioops - i saw your link - that site has no amber necklaces in stock - but thanks for the link hon
katones - woot! blueberries 4 jack! have fun!
rayray - depends how much output he currently does, overnight.
Some training pants come as pockets, and you can boost those appropriate to your child's needs - which is what i would use if bilby was wetting overnight.
Some training pants come as aio's - so if they are NOT enough absorbency for your child overnight, i suppose you could lay in a booster, but that might move about.
If your child wakes during the night, i would be giving them a potty opportunity then.
We have a brolly sheet on the bed (so don't have to change sheets if she has an accident). Bilby is sleeping in blueberry trainers - but i haven't had them tested yet, cos she's been in them overnight for maybe 2-3 weeks, has not wet overnight yet. i'm sure it will happen at some point. but she goes to bed late, wakes up for 2am feed, so is not sleeping for 12 hours etc. every child is different.
some pocket style training pants:
happy heiny
bumwear
daddledoo
starbunz learnerz
(all of these have staydry inners)
another reason i use the blueberry trainers, is that they have the feel wet inner. apparent from wanting bilby to know when she is wet, her skin reacts to staydry inners. So you buy what suits your child. i was so over enthusiastic, i bought some that didn't suit her at all. (redface).
Imse Vimse cloth trainers - says it's not for naps or sleeps.
We have some noonee wilga for daytime too. i got them with feel wet inners.
wotbb: blueberry trainer (AIO style night nappy) with feel wet inner (cotton velour). size small - says it goes to 13kg, but bilby is 12kg, and i'm not positive she will still fit them at 13kg - we'll see.
Well so far so good and I feel like I am keepin up ;)
Today is an exciting day -
WOZB - his very first MCN - Choc & Blue stripe Ecobub pocket -gorgy .......
Sami - yay for first MCN!!! And such a lush pocket too ;)
Gigi - thanks for that song - I started singing that straight away....lol... I used to freakin love that song!!! Not as much as "push it" but I'm old ;)
No nappy news here. DH asked me this morning where all the nappies are cos we usually have heaps of them made up ready to go. And I'm like... ummm ... well some are in the dryer waiting to be put together... and I just sold about 15 ittis... soooo... uh... we don't have as many as we used to....lol
WOTB's: night nappy for her still - no idea for him.
Gigi - She will have them up in a couple of weeks. I am waiting ever so patiently :D
We have the highest step we could find too, and for a while it was still too short to put herself on the loo.
Mel - :lol: these days it's me asking where all the nappies are, coz I get a basket full of bits that dont match so half the nappies that had bits in the last basket I have no idea where DH has put them.
WOEB: Red Moo Moo CT (ancient and the velcro is dying) I think it might be the 1st CT we bought so a whole year with that velcro and now there are no more velcro ones.
:
Babe I'm so sorry, the damn batteries are dead AGAIN!!! buying more today!!! Sorry hon... damn camera....
c'mon pretty butterfly!!!!!! lol its all good i know when you are ready you will take a piccie!!!! no worries hun :)
Gigi..i can't wait to help Karen out at the expo!!!! ahhhh more fluff!!!! told hubby and he just rolled his eyes....and said kewl...
Fluff I'm helping out at the Cushie Tushies stand at the expo but on the Saturday! :doh: Well hopefully...I'm hoping I can get a sitter tho cause DH is going away for a few weeks.
Nothing nappy related here at all boring really!
ETA Wait I do have nappy news! I have received a quote for my BoB custom! Its going to be pretty exxy for only a small design but for something special it's worth it.
I have the older 2 kidlets on that weekend eej...and i don't think they would be very co-operative if i took them to the expo...on saturday...I am helping Karen out on Friday... at baby blossum :)
Hmmm.....i think another tooth is on it's way for Jack....HORRID poos!!!! oh my they are yuck!!! poor nappies....me thinks i should use liners right now....so he doesn't ruin my precious...fluff
Well my hubby has become an enabler too LOL
Today he rearranged my laundry so I have a bucket next to the sink, cleaned it, put in a new soappump, and moved my washing machine so I had plenty of room - what a man!!!!
He was quietly very amazed that when I took the first MCN off Zander after 2.5 hours that the inner was dry and lovely, and the insert had done its thing and trapped all the wee :rofl: ...
Just curious - why do ppl buy all different brands/manufacturers? Is it a try thing, preference, to have variety - and do you tend to stick with the same type eg fitted and covers or have a wide variety off all of them?
I have some a couple of IB's and a BG and BBH coming - to try them out before I decide what to go with - but worried I am going about this all wrong :wall::wall::doh:
Sam - for most of us I think, having different types and brands of nappy (after already finding ones that work for you) is 10% trying something new and 90% the desire for variety of fluff and gorgeousness! lol
If my hubby had his way we would own 55 IBs and BGs and nothing else...lol But I like the variety.
I also find that some work better in some situations and some in others - we live in WA so I very rarely have ot cover her nappies with clothes, so having pretty ones is a want for me :)
When I do cover them with clothes, I like trim fitting nappies...DH prefers Fitteds and covers, I don't...
lol...so I think the rule is buy as many as you can afford :rofl:
But be careful - with such an enabling hubby you dont want to take advantage and turn that enabling to credit card banning ;P
