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.
