[Livinthedream]

Sweet, thanx for that Mel. x
Will put em in the drawer for later. Would kill me to sell them for 1/2 price when lots of em never even been used.

[~Raven~]

Keep them Shell! Unfortunately they will fit wonderfully soon enough. They grow too fast *sigh*

Well no fluffy mail here today... well not that i can think of... LOL... just started a spread sheet to keep track of my buys... last week i couldnt remember ANYTHING i had brought. Looking forward to paying for my layby it will be the last purchase for a while... with DP's birthday on the 15th and then DD's on the 29th... (my baby is growing up too quick) i will be broke paying for presents and parties etc... so please help me not to buy anything... (hmmmm no doubt i will regret this later especially with all the sales on... )

Q- i thought i read hot water washing was no good for MCN's?? am i mistaken??? Can someone clarify for me... DD woke up with a rash this morning... Our 1st ever in cloth... i'm thinking maybe teething... she is so sooky rubbing ears... Off to order some moo goo... do i just google Moogoo??? or does anyone have a link??? Marlene did u say u got it from a chemist??? Is it selected chemists only???

Better yet can anyone send me a link for exactly what i need... no time to google now... DD has just tipped breakie everywhere BBL....

hi, i'm another one who stalks this thread but hadn't posted yet!

i'm still researching before bubs is born, but i've been reading some great reviews on here of the mother-ease covers & was just wondering if anyone had feedback on the mother-ease nappies? specifically the sandy's as they're sized.

sorry for gatecrashing - just thought it was better than starting another thread

Hello

I just wanted to share that I'm getting into the cloth nappy thing too..

My DD is 5 weeks and I have now worked out how to get the nappies on her and using covers and boosting and it all seems to be going swimingly. I need to build up me stash though as I only have enough at the moment for part time, but thats better than nothing, huh?


My faves are the BBH & the MotherEase...What should I try next?

TIA

i would suggest

• a MandyMac (OSFM fitted pocket that does up with a snappi),
• a Cute Tooshies bamboo delight (fitted OSFM) and
• a bear bottoms fleece cover in small (nightweight).

Working out how to use MCN is a learning curve, so good on you for getting the hang of it. Part time IS a great start.

Do you have a LIttle Squirt (to get the poo off), wetbags for going out, a mattress protector mat (for giving nappy free time each day, on the floor)?

Welcome Winter

looks like I might need to re-assess my stash...woke up to a Monsta half-way down our bed (he crawls all over us when we're sleeping) in a pooey BG HALF DONE UP! not sure whether he worked out how to undo the velcro or it was just coincidence as he was only wearing a singlet. Lucky no poo on our bed thou.

Just when I thought I could get away without getting any nappies for awhile, he decided to b a Monsta. If only he showed himself before adelaide *sigh*

my midnight post from last night

HGL/Jess - i got purple baby legwarmers, Huggalugs make one called HYANCITH (prolly spelt that word wrong but). it is a different purple to how it looks to me online, but still lovely purple. i like having some plain baby legwarmers to go with patterned things (used to be mcn - now it's jeans/trousers etc.

hot water up to 60 degrees is fine to wash the nappies in.

if your baby has gastro, the advice is to wash at 90 degrees, (incl two weeks AFTER baby is well again), but this is only to be done with NON ELASTIC mcn, e.g prefolds, trifolds, flats, contours etc.

Many of the posts i read, from people saying they have a problem with smelly mcn, they turn out to be washing in cold water only. So if you wash in cold, i would suggest you do a hotwash, at least once a week (IF you have the nappies go smelly).

i washed bilby's mcn in 60 degrees for two plus years - the nappies were fine. i only had to do a de-smell wash once. (really bad teething wees).

EEJ = how many times did you pre-wash the mini la la? i would imagine it is chokka blok full of bamboo, which needs three washes to work up the absorbency level. if you don't want to do the pre-washes, just make sure the first three wears are AT HOME, so it doens't matter when it leaks.

i love the moogoo anti ageing cream on the backs of my hands - that's where my skin is getting wrecked from constant handwashing. i love that stuff, gives my poor hands some pain relief.

CHARMLEA - thanks for the magicalls experience on your little one. good luck for sleep school, that didn't work out so well for us. don't let them bully you.

You could take MCN camping with a squishy big wet bag too, not just a bucket (which has a rigid shape). camping in a sports car - interesting LOL. never dull where you live ha ha.

MARLENE - petal, love, pet, we knew you were busy with Jack's turning one, you WERE missed sweetie!

wotbb: blueberry trainers

it finally happened - the tt-ing regression - on the 3rd day of her being ill with a cold, three accidents - just when i was thinking of retiring the little squirt! lucky i hadn't done that yet.

[Pretty Butterfly]

Well its time for night nappies for Harmony..... She has finally wet through her normal nappies that I was using for night, like pop ins, bizy bee's, cute tooshies and covers...

She's almost 4 months,( )so she's done well.... and I can get mediums instead of smalls too, so get lots of use... *sly look in Maz's direction, awaiting a stocking*

Kane is getting absolutely pedantic about his baby legs, even insisting to wear them under everything, like jeans and sleep suits!! What have I created??!!

Well Ad and I have almost decided to send out e mails and see if I can get this mcn idea off the ground... I cant do well if I dont try!!

woHb.. IB classic pul
woKb.. ib cow ..cow b/l

I re-arreanged and re-labled the change table drawers, now it is neat enough for FIL to easily be able to find things, and they are labled correctly. I think I might do up some 'Using MCN' instructions to put on the side of the change table in the hopes that we dont have any more rather 'interesting' combinations.

DH did a nappy load last night, not sure if FIL has hung it out yet but the back door looks like it has been used (solid door is open) so I think it might be out on the line, which means I should have some nappies to fold tonight and they are all finally being done in one hit so I can get them sorted before they run out.

Jess...just google Moogoo and it will come up. Go to their stockists link and you can check if anyone stocks it locally. (scroll down the page for NSW syockists) My local Amcal chemist stocks it, but not many do. My Amcal had run out of the Soothing cream so I ordered it online and got it in 3 days.


WOJB...Starbunz cheetah

[alioops]

Jess - Google 'Moogoo MSM' and it should come up quicker, otherwise there will be a heap of chinese food in your list too.

Sorry to be so slack in here lately. I've been reading, just haven't got the energy or enthusiasm needed to post most days.

Ali sounds like you have control of the household even from your walking frame. I sometimes wish that I could be put on complete bed rest for a week or so...so I could show DF just how much I do around the house that he doesn't notice or appreciate. Any ideas how I could do that? lol

I'm feeling really good today, after a 5-6 month absence AF has decided to return again so we can get in and do some baby making soon. Hope my body is back in a good rhythm again now

Been dyeing some singlets and shirts today. Was supposed to do them weeks ago but I've just not had the energy. See a pattern here? No energy Been so tired and lethargic for the past few weeks, it's getting old now.

Nappy News? Threatening rain all day today so they're hanging on the clothes horse inside. DS has been nappy free almost every day for most of the day so not many nappies to wash.

[SamiH]

Well I got mail today and now have ..... 3 nappies - however, I am awaiting about 10 in the next few days I also got my first lovely wetbag (surely a better name could be created than wetbag??).

Hautes - ppls thoughts???

My 2 x IB's should be here tomorrow so very keen for that

[Je$$_84]

I found a FB ad for issy Bear Nappies... OSFM Pockets like the Green kids... R they anygood... they have an ok trial pack and awesome material...

Thnaka for the Moogoo advice... Off to order some now.

Did a warm wash today with teh night naps... No more stinkys... yay...

[Freya]

Just when the boys decide to poop and wee themselves stupid it bloody rains and gets cold (and I use the term 'cold' loosely as its not cold by the rest of the countries standards lol), so a whole load of boosters are in the dryer.

Sami - I dislike hautes. We have some haute pockets I use as daycare nappies for Ds2, they are not a good fit for chubby babies imo.

Feeling a bit down and out so off to wallow in my own misery..........and maybe fluff shop...........

[Arimeh]

Haha Anna - fluff shopping makes everything all better

Sami - Hautes - I have three - I have the snaps, and I think I would prefer the velcro. They aren't too bad though, not that much different than bumg's and cheaper - so thats a good thing. However, my babies are long and skinny - so could be why we don't have a problem?

Thinking about putting in a custom order with bundles of buns for two nappies since we've been "Stimulated" bwahahahahah

[teruteru]

haute- ive got some snaps, some velcros. u get abit more wear out of velcro as u r not restricted. i think they r slightly smaller than BGs. i still have 1 more row of snaps on my BGs to go, but my Haute has no where else to go. not my fav nappy but they r better than Happy Heinys
