Amanda - my preferred insert combo is the bamboo insert and microfibre. Then at night I chuck the booster in as well. But thats the only time I really tend to use the booster.
mel- congrats?
smoz- pink nappies on a boy? well, im just abt to get some girly printed fitted for mine LOL noones gonna see hehe
robyn @ pp- theres a wait on KK, its like till june or something. worth asking anyways, shes very nice
i put my lil monsta in a KK for the 1st time last night, LOVE them. hes on the smallest setting on the M so will last him awhile. im slowly changing my stash to fitteds. cant quite figure out what turned me off them in the first place (mebbe putting a NB in a BBH was a mistake?) now just gotta figure out how im gonna get rid of them.
im under negotiation to get some longies made, so happy
I have one weird BBH booster which goes into the wash it's natural colour - but comes out brown like it's poop stained. I read my BBH care book which says I can spray some stain remover on it, so I do and wash again and it comes out perfect. But then after the next wash it's back to dark brown poop stained looking. What's going on?
Fluff - We miss you but obviously you've been busy with work so that's an acceptable absence. Are you having withdrawls from BB?
I have no recommendations for night naps sorry Jess. Hopefully my sandman doesn't take too long to arrive and I can give you my review on it. Michelle from SHP is so helpful, she's putting in a rush on my soaker so she can send them all together. Bought some dirt cheap NB lushies too (in the seconds/thirds section, but nothing wrong with them just the person that ordered them didn't like the aplix)
Does anyone want an extra 20 month old for the day? I'm sick with a cold and completely drained of energy. He's not being naughty, just annoying the hell out of me when I'd rather be just lying down or sleeping. To make it worse I have to try to keep him quiet as DF is sleeping off a night shift and has another one tonight.
WOPB: zilch, nada, nothing. Having some nudie time, which he seems to do a lot lately.
Mel you changed your sig to the belly bump - teruteru may not have seen the previous announcements!
just ordered a couple of ecobubs - prolly shouldn't have, but DH has gone away to work and i needed something to do to pass the time for a while... done killing time now - time to go do "stuff" - no idea what stuff, but need to feel like i'm achieving something (even if it's just sleep!)
rayray- welcome back! You need to update your ticker! I love that WOOB tagline, BTW... reminds me of some lovely blankies I've seen with the brand Woobie! How goes the NB fluffiness??
Jess - GNSTs are good, but DS can outwet a heavily boosted one on an average night. I don't know why, but it just doesn't hold up as well as I expected, especially with soooo many layers and snap-on bits of bamboo! Sandmans are great, though. And GF (without too much embroidery!).
CM - that staining thing has happened to a couple of our BumG microfibre inserts lately too. I can't think what's causing it since DS hasn't pooped in them, but not being able to hang them in the sun lately isn't helping matters. Bizarre!
BG - sleep, hun! Get as much sleep as you can! Treasure it!! Remember it well! Have some sleep for me, too, yeah??
DH has about 15 minutes left of 'rest time' before he promised to get started on his list - Yes he asked me for a chore list for the day - so we should have some nappies to fold tomorrow evening. He will be busy for most of the day though and then I doubt he will be up later than 9pm tonight. He hasn't had much sleep all week.
I am going to have to join the 'Amber Necklaces ROCK!!' Group. I didn't wear it yesterday, and I regretted it. Got it on today and nowhere near as sore as yesterday. Still need the drugs, but not aching as much while they are in my system.
KatieRabbit - I don't own any BumG's but my guess would be that with pockets you can tailor the absorbency to suit your child a bit better than an AIO. You choose how much boosting there is in the pocket. Did that help at all?
Ali - Your DH sounds like he's wearing himself out a bit, maybe it's a good thing as he's learning just how much goes on in the house that he never realised before now. I wish I were in your situation (although pain free thanks). Could you please PM me the details of the exact amber necklace you bought?
NaNa - I've got no idea with the boosters as yes mine hasn't been pooped on either. It's just the one also. I was purchased at the same time as all the rest of my boosters, goes in the wash with the rest, and it doesn't happen to any others. Weird!
Well I just finished doing some tie dye singlets again. They're hanging on the line drying now. How do I post photos on BB? Do I have an album of my own? How do I link to it without posting the big ugly link? Hmm so many questions, I know nothing
BG - do whatever you need to in order to keep yourself busy and amused, otherwise you'll go stir crazy! If that means more fluff, then so be it!
WOPB: Nothing, and he's sleeping. Recipe for disaster? Hopefully not, he should go to the toilet when he wakes up.
Katie - from what i can tell, most AIO's allow you to add extra boosting - you just need to be careful you don't get leg gape from the boosting being too much for the nappy to handle...
i know i have bought an iishfly night nappy and it has SEVEN boosters with it!
i would be looking to try and find boosters that are nice and absorbant without being overly thick kwim?
NaNa - not much sleep happening here - though i'm about to head to bed again - ti's the most comfy place to sit while i'm doing my cross stitch. so much better than the seats out here! if i happen to feel sleepy, then so be it! i've nearly finished season 1 of CSI which i started watching a couple of days ago...
Back from the expo! A fair bit poorer! I got a green tea CT and a pink basix, and a great 1 nappy wet bag from NN. So pretty! And 3 pairs of baby legs for $30 from IB!
Also a new mei tai hip carrier called an Ellaroo. I tried it on with Em and she loved it. She hates being in the ergo!
So a good day but a little sad its been 6 years today since my brother died suddenly. So have been thinking of him lots. I miss my big bro.

DD can outwet her Maz NN but never through a cover... its very bizare to have 3 changes... and all the naps that were used were all ones i have had for a while now so abroebency should have been good... Oh well maybe cut the night drinks down... lol.
SOOO cant wait to get that CGR designs Nap...So glad DP is willing to accept sexual bribes... lol. he said i could buy as much fluff as i wanted if i keep being so nice to him... LOL.
Mel- Congrats on spreading the word to FB community also... SO happy for you...
So jealous of all these new pregnancies and new bubs and a few almost new bubs...
Can anyone tell me if i'll get a next time???? My body seems to be working OK so far... just hoping that DP will change his mind soon and that things keep looking positive with the PCOS... I am desperate for NB fluff... how devine is NB fluff...
Well i swear my ecobubs booster had a snap on it before i washed it but now there is none??? and there not in the wash... LOL. can anyone tell me if my machine ate them or if i am going nute??? theres a snap right???to fold it in half??
EEJ sorry to hear about your bro, things like that suck. I lost my BF suddenly 18 mths ago. I dont think you ever stop missing them :-(
I have been soooo norty, buying fluff willy nilly.
Am now really going to have to start hiding my purchases from Adam, he's been home lots so knows when the parcels arrive.
Bought 2 GK minkys off a certian clothie bumz this morn, and am waiting for 2 swaddlebees to arrive this week.
Need to get back to work, costin me too much to be a SAHM.....
WOLB bumwares - DP can only manage AIO's that are complete sewn into the linings or pockets, and he did the bath/nappy change tonight.

has anyone tried Baby Safari pockets? they are narrow crotched, side snappers, that were completely off my radar. just heard one good reccy for them tonight, so wondered if anyone else had tried them. i find their website a bit confusing, but they might make great mcn, just not have a good website designer, who knows.
also Gadimals? i've emailed the US home site, to find out the crotch width IS narrow (yeh), they are considered a low rise nappy (like the itti bittis), and they are Side snap pockets, outer is MM fleece 300wt but it's a really furry fluffy one that looks like teddy bear fur. ANyone else tried them?
EEJ = RIP to your brother, that's really sad.
TERU - yeh to getting some custom longies. did you end up getting the sports team ones? Love the new photo of Dragon in your siggy.
Lots of people go in and out of "love for the fitteds". i came to love them again too. Especially after the runny poo stage stopped, and i could actually put bilby in them , without a cover, last summer. So nice to be able to see the attractive outers of them, after covering them up for so long. they're great under longies too.
ALI - is the FIL who does housework, still with you? or has he gone home?
boo to the washing machines that EAT the boosters in ecobubs! HEy Good Looking.

- with ANY style of nappy, if your child is outwetting it, that is a sign to add more absorbent material, or move up to a more absorbent nappy for them. Every nappy change, you make observations, and you customise the nappy to suit your baby, at that time, cos they change all the time (teething, growing, etc).
You CAN boost an AIO, but not to the same extent you can boost a fitted nappy, or a pocket nappy.
with fitted nappies, you can boost INSIDE the nappy, and OUTSIDE the nappy (but inside the cover).
with AIO's, you can boost INSIDE the nappy, but not so much that you cause leg gape. something you can only try and see. if you see leg gape, undo nappy and take some boosting out.
with pockets, you can add more absorbent material to the pocket cavity. Depending on the size of the pocket cavity, some allow enough room to comfortably have TWO trifolds sitting there comfortably.
If you want to boost a nappy a fair bit - put a trifold in (rectangle of absorbent material, folded into three). So say it's bamboo, two layers thick, by the time you fold it into three, you have added SIX layers of babmoo there.
if you want to boost a nappy just a little, put a booster in (skinny pad shape).
so if that's two layers of bamboo, you have added TWO layers of babmoo there.
Trifold / prefold / insert / pocket stuffer - all these words are interchangeable in the mcn world. so don't worry, it's all pretty much the same thing.
Often two layers of bamboo, in a rectangle (or square for nb size), sewn together.
whereas the boosters, are either short and skinny, or long and skinny (you fold that in half, or to suit. like more to the front, for the front wetters.)
wotbb: imse vimse cloth trainer (or knickers with "insurance" as we think of them, as).
