Does Brisvegas have a baby expo?
Have PM'd u the link Shel
Jess - the WW are awesome arent they! They are prob one of the best fitting nappies Ive seen I reckon. And the inners are sooooooooo soft.
Have looked at Nappychic and buy4baby but cannot see any MCNs on buy4baby, Pink Palace? I may not be looking properly but have done a search and looked through their categories. Where am I going wrong?
KR - I did the same thing for ages with B4B lol - will pm you the link :)
OOOH, sanks heaps Jess.
Will everyone be there?, ie, the companies from interstate or is it mostly local makers?
Any of you fine Qld ladies going?
I wont be there Shell, I am likely to still be recovering and doing lots of physio, and I will be in Brissy for the meetup in August.
:crying: :confused:
I still haven't recieved my Itti's... I emailed them on the 29/4 and haven't heard back as yet so have sent another email today.
Does anyone in Clothland know if the ladies from Itti's are on leave or something? I have triple checked with my post office... only did regular post but I ordered at the same time as Marlene did and I am still waiting
TK - I don't know about them being away but I do know that in my dealings with them it took almost a month to get a reply e-mail out of them. Give them a phone call maybe that might get an answer quicker.
Oh and ladies I still haven't figured out my wild child boosters. Someone help please!
I KNOW some of you ladies have WC Bling, please please please go look at the boosters and tell me how they go together! I would be forever grateful :p
Thanks Cheeky Monkey I will ring tomorrow - when I was ordering they were very efficient via email but now it seems to have slacked off...
tk....they have been having troubles with emails since moving....
although i have NOT had any troubles getting/sending emails to them...recieved an email just tonight about the expo on Friday...
Thanks fluff, I'd rather know that it was just my emails having issues that not being able to communicate with them at all - if that makes sense
Shells - I'll be going to the expo in Bris if you wanted to meet up?
CM - Can't help you with the bling boosters I'm sorry - I don't have any! Maybe send Mel a PM - she's the bling queen.
TK - I haven't heard from itti either since I sent them 5 of my ittis for replacement about 4 months ago. Didn't answer the email that I sent a few weeks ago chasing them up. I've given up :rolleyes:
Mel - darn it - I am in two minds - on one side it is good that it is not just me, but on the other side it is not good that responses aren't given! Will definitely call tomorrow - $$ already transferred but no nappies... :doh:
It is a shame too cause I had heard such good things about their nappies
Double post
I havent had any issues with Itti getting back to my emails... have been in touch with judith and deanne in the last few days about other stuff ;)
They have/are going through some big changes in the office and software issues plus the move so i would try again for sure...
Love the WW Anna- Beautifully soft inner... i think i have to wash more cos it leaked... (but i only washed it once... the booster is rather thin compared to others i have... r they absorbent... they look and feel great...
Jess - they have 10 layers of bamboo - so yeah they are very absorbent. just have to be washed more I think honey.
Arimeh - is it only the Snoozywuns that have the sherpa inner, or is it the day time Widdlewuns that have sherpa also?
i remember researching night nappies yonks ago, and WW Snoozywuns was one of the few brands to offer natural fibre inner (the sherpa), but i cna't remember what their daytime nappies inners are made out of.
(hearing PP talk about the soft inners of the WW).
ALIOOPS - i started to read Maz's thread, but not the update on the surgery - poor lovey - at least she'll get enforced rest - and relief from the pain i hope. poor maz.
KatieRabbit - the main reason for buyforbaby is selling mcn. so i don't think there is a section for BUYING MCN. but there will be sections for buying
- fitteds
- pockets
- all in ones
- covers
- woollies
all the different nappy styles.
it's the kind of site where you can browse a certain amount, but to make bids on auctions, you need to register with the site.
did you check out the ozclothnappy site?
join the yahoo group?
the Perth chapter of ozclothnappies is pretty into meetups, so i would join in, and use that as an opportunity to meet other mcn mums, see their mcn stashes, that way you'll get to see lots of brands in real life.
on nappycino, register there too, then go to the states page, post on the WA page so you can find out who else lives near you, whether they have meetups.
i did this in my state, and went along to nappy sewing meets. i wasn't sewing, but i learnt so much hearing the other mums talk, and looking at what they were making. Hearing about the fabrics, seeing firsthand how they were being used, helped me understand better, what i wanted to buy.
other incidental things happened too, like seeing babies being changed in mcn, at the meetups, and for me, being pregnant, knowing nothing about mcn, and wanting to use it on my yet unborn bilby, it was a real education. The practicalities, of using mcn when out of home, was something i wasn't able to imagine - then i saw it - had it explianed - and realised - this is entirely do-able.
wotbb: blueberry trainer
i had words with dh about how much skill it takes to take a trainer off the clothes horse - he SAID he agreed, it's not hard, but we shall see!
trying mcn on my friend's 6kg five month old tomorrow, not that i have much that will fit her anymore, but gotta start somewhere, to help my friend work out what to buy her. e.g i have a cute tooshies OSFA bamboo delights, i'll use this to try on bub, if it fits ok, i'll suggest a cute tooshies ai2 minky outer, to my friend. we can work out her rise, measure her waist and thighs, try a medium swaddlebees and medium lotus on her, to see if narrow crotch nappies suit her. we have a cushie tushie couture OSFA to try on her too (my friend's first 2nd hand purchase).
so hard to decide whether to give my friend, my little squirt, whether we are really finished with it yet. bilby seems to be toilet trained. but i don't want to be too complacent, then she regresses and i get caught out. Even tt-d kids have accidents, right? or am i an idiot for thinking i should hold on to the LS?
My friend is wanting to change over 100%, all or nothing. i'm not even sure how many mcn she will need, for her five month old, to go fulltime. (she wants to use only minky pockets and ai2's.) i hope the minky magicalls work on her bub, that would be a cheaper way to pad out a minky pocket/aio stash? At that age and size, bilby was in fitteds and covers, most of the time, so i don't have the knowledge needed.
I am in desperate need of a fluff fix...BUT $$ do not allow this :(
so i shall just have to wait until friday..when i will be in IB heaven :D
Poor Jack is back to having hydrazole on his ol' fella.... his foreskin has like a little ulcer/blister...more like a little ulcer...if it isn't any better by this afternoon..off to the Drs we go....it is red and looks sore..BUT he isn't complaining...
shells bells , i will be there at the BBH stall ! were usally pretty busy so if you pop in and say hi that'll be all you get from me :lol: at least im not preggers this year ... (pmsl not a dig at you mel ;) ) it was flat out i didnt get a chance to look at anything !!
Lea - I'm confused as to why it would be a dig at me?
Gigi - the widdlewuns and snoozys are all microfleece inners now.
I've had my fluff fix now - since we got "stimulated" I was allowed to spend a few bucks on getting the kids nice nappies (instead of the heaps of workhorse nappies we seem to have!) so I've ordered 2 bundles of buns, got a CGR on the way (secondhand), a GF nights on the way (shanks Mel!) and my DM that I scored in the last stocking.
So thats enough for the kids. I was going to buy them clothes - but out of money now!! Who needs clothes in Queensland anyway.. LOL
WOTB's: still night nappies. I'm so slack. DD only just got up.
Morning Ladies,
Quick question: I know I can't use my penaten cream on DD without a liner when she starts to go a bit pink, but what about baby powder?? Can I use some dry powder on her itsy bum??
Aw man why cant they have a baby expo in Townsville? I would have happily helped out.
I have to add the Ecobubs to my 'Love' list - I only washed it once, grabbed it in a hurry to put on Rivers butt cause I couldnt find my other AIOs, panicked the entire shopping trip that it would leak..........not a drop of wee leaked out.
WOJettsB - a very very wet LL night nappy but he's quiet for the first time in a long time so Im too scared to offer to change it just yet lol
WORipsB - another very very wet Sandman NN. I can hear him giggling though so time to get him up.
WORiversB - BBH and Maz fleecie cover
Fluffy mail!!! My HH and 2 swaddlebees! I got one medium and one large. the M looks really small. WIll have to try it before I wash it I think.
The HH seems very plasticy...does this ge better over time? I bought it cause it for the fact it was a breast cancer pink ribbon one more than anything.
Gigi we don't mind the magicalls I think they would last your friend a while with a 6 kg bub if they work. They are very wide though.
eej - the swaddlebees are very trim, and I can still get a medium on DS who's over 10kg. They're great, and I'm soooo tempted to get more, especially since weewuns have clearance stock available in medium. I have one in large too, and it seems a little too big still. And the HH are a bit plasticy, but it's one of the few aplix-fastening nappies DS can't get off! Not my fave, but yeh, they're red and black, so that's ok with me! I'm such a fashion victim.
I think I may just e-mail WildChild directly and ask her how to put my damn booster back together. Seems quite trivial but with my current state of mind it's doing my head in.
I really have no idea what else I was going to respond to on here. Sorry ladies.
Just heard from ittibitti - they apologised for not contacting me earlier - busy with move and preparing for expo's etc. Have done the ring around on both ends to check not at another post office near me and they have run to make sure it hasn't been sent back.
We are now starting a missing parcel claim - they said it can be a long process and I said that is fine as bubs won't be here until September so we have some time! That will teach me for not registering the mail!!
you were preg at last years expo too ! thats what i meant .. geddit?:
Ahhh I see..
Won't be pregnant at any others though ;)
Thanks NaNa when she wakes up I'm going to try it on. She's in her ecobus right now and thats a similar size and it fits well on the smallest snaps. I agree I don't think the HH will be a fav but I wanted to support breast cancer.
TK- that's a shame about your parcel. I learnt to register where possible after losing one a few months ago. A complaint was lodged with AP but in my case they could never find it :(
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited about the baby expo this weekend! I can;t wait to meet shell from cushie tushies and check out all the other stands. I'm actually going twice! Sat to help out and then SUnday to look around cause my folks could only watch EM for a few hours (which is all i'd want them watching her)
I'm going to buy some itti's!
nappychic have some cgr's up for sale, nice ones too, shame they don't fit Elise properly otherwise I would have snapped them up!!
I'll be going to the Brissie expo, already lined DH up for it.
time for a dummy question....
can my baby beehinds bamboo fitted nappies/boosters go through the dryer???
I am tired....so very tired....
I am working with the IB stall on Friday will be in heaven..BUT will also be tired as....that will be 5 days work this week PLUS looking after Jack...and working at work!!!!! sounds sad i know...BUT after 9 months off work...it is killing me!!!!
WOJB ~ panda bubblebub
Yeah you can Fluff. Well I do so I hope so lol
Eej, I actually really like my HH pink ribbon. It is crinkly but it fits Em perfectly and is easier to see if the PUL was to start having issues. It is one of the only pockets that I like to use, and it is easy to stuff coz the booster doesnt get stuck on the PUL.
Anna - Next RNW we should do something.
Finally got a useful OB come in to my appointment today!! They still dont want to schedule anything until next fornight, but chances are that she will stay put and they will use breech presentation as the reason for CS at 39 weeks. If she does turn and a VB does damage then I will sue the hospital. Ended up going into appointment 2 hours after the scheduled time though :rolleyes: So it looks like she will be here on the 12th or 15th of June. My BP was ok today too which is good
My Amber necklace arrived today!! It is great!!! The magnets are really strong and Linda was really quick!!
WOTB: Nappies!! Em was in bed when I got home from my appointment and Sarah has been changed since the bumg went on so I dont know what is on her.
RNW Ali? (Sorry my brain isnt functioning today, been a bad bad day)
Real Nappy Week ;)
Ok we're on the same page now lol
Hi again
Funny story
My boy has been in cloth for two days and I have run out :wall: so his last change around 3.30pm was a disposable - until the rest dry and should be ready for assembly later tonight. Anyway, I started to put it on - and he frowned at me!!! It was the funniest thing - like he was saying - whats with the scratchy stuff mum??
Mail today was a red & white striped Ecobub (drool) - they fit so well and dry so quick .... I think I will now raid Mel's store for the navy and white one now :lol: I ordered 2 x Itti's on the weekend so when they turn up I should be nearly fine for a while once I finish with Mel's May Madness sale :p
Also my CT couture that leaked a few days ago went a 2.5 hour sleep today with no leaks - so it musta just been the abosorbency building up - phew! He seems to sleep well in that nappy ..... LOL
Ali glad that your BP was good today and that you have a rough estimate as to when your little girl will be here.
Sami Julian is doing the same thing, he loves feeling the nappies and as soon as a sposie on him he's not so impressed.
When is the Brissy baby expo I went two years ago but couldn't make it last year, will defineatly be going this year with lots of money for nappies.
A few questions:
I looking at going cloth full time, what sort of night nappies are there and what do you recommend?
What sort of cream can you use on his butt for a bit of nappy rash?
Think that's all for now, thanks :D
