Cloth Nappies # 175

[Livinthedream]

Yeah SMOZ, same shop. I dont know any other IRL shops in bris. Are you going to go to the baby expo?, I dont know how to PM links but am pretty sure someone here can help cause you can get a free ticket from the site.

Yay for meeting up wif Maz. I can be chief picker upper and driver if you guys want to organise time/place. Could go down to Sanctuary Cove, close for Maz and lots of good licenced resturants/coffee shops.

Mel, have PMed you

I started the Bi carb from last time it was mentioned... i use bout 2 teaspons for my daily wash... also for things u use softner for u can use vinegar. ( i was told)

Since the lastest formula tin with their added bits we've had dioreah issues. My poor bubs must have such a sensitive tummy... I have just gone and brought 4 tins of the older ones so hopefully we wont have the issue for a while until i can find another solution... Damn my bloody BBs for failing to nourish her longer. this formula crap is driving me batty... Why dose every brand affect her... And all with different side affects... Grrr...

Sorry not really MCN related... But its an issue cos her pop is staining the naps... the sun isnt taking the stains out either... Anything i can do???

[Arimeh]

Keep sunning them jess. Oh - and have you tried goats milk formula? More gentle on tums. Wouldn't use vinegar on nappies but - bad for elastic (so i've read)

Kitt3n

Teru - I could hyena for you if it wasn't on a work day? So if its not on a friday should be cool.

Better go do some work. otherwise the STUPID MOLE will come in and do it without any AUTHORITY to do so.

pfft.

Sorry - still pretty peeved here!!!!!!

OOh - and one of the girls is getting fired today - at 4pm. Should be .. uh.. interesting. Boss wants me to stay out the back with her while she shuts her computer down incase she decides to delete any files or whatever on the server.. bwahahaha... I'm on back office duty apparently.

Should be uh.. interesting. Might need a nappy for myself if things look to be gettin nasty!

[Je$$_84]

Oh Mel that sounds like an aweful position to be in...Hope things go ok.

Its been raining here for few days so not much sun. hopefully next lot of big sun should get rid of it... (fingers crossed... )

Oh and Yeah no vinegar for MCN's was just saying for like towels or sheets u can use it for a softner

[1MOREPLZ]

Not much happening here nappy wise...although..i have a MOUNTAIN hung on the clothes horse...Jack looks at/stares and gets all excited!!!! looking at nappies.....see my boy does have good taste

not much else happening..

oh i do have a question...

Jack can't for the life of hime wear his medium IB's any more (well they are like speedos on him so he can get into them) soo we have been using his large IB's....BUT...we are getting horrible horrible wing droop..snaps are meeting in the centre...and still a tad biggish around the legs..BUT if i put him in his speedo IB's he out wets it in like 5mins....all up the front of him....what should i do????????????

WOJB ~ ivory IB

[maz]

hmmm

maz could always bring a snap press with her to the melbourne meet up and put some extra snaps in for you

OH Mel...wish I was a fly on the wall...make her feel really uncomfortable hehehehe
jess send me some rain PLEASE

[alioops]

Jess - That sucks hun If it is one of the gold ones try going to the standard version.

Mel - Yeah Fluffy Fix sounds good with the day you are having

Maz and Katie - The only Cute Tushies we own are bamboo delights, so I write CTBD for them. Otherwise it is a Cushie Tushie for CT when I write it.

Nana - Just pull on them really hard every day, they will go by the time you go away Mwahahahaha

FIL hung the nappies in the sun!! They should be dry by tonight, the drawers are empty. He might have to go check on them when Em needs a change next. I get the feeling the dryer might get used for a few today. I discovered some of our pockets have some grey stains, but not too fussed, it is the first nappy I ever bought (the blue elephant Mommy's Touch) and the BumGs so not my regular rotation.

WOEB: CTBD with MAL Cars cover
WOSB: Dorothy night nappy

[Kazbah]

OK. I now am armed for nappy rash with:

* Ghia powder
* Moogoo excema cream
* Some pharmacy concoction (not MCN friendly) but is OK for nap times
* Pinetar wash (that I'm using as a wipes solution)

Also I have ... a giraffe toy for Pip and a cowprint sippy cup (OK, I'm a sucker!)

He fell asleep during lunch, very cute, and is still sleeping!

[maz]

and kaz...dont forget a salt bath at night either hon.

Hey limeslice has cow spoons and fork sets that moo ...i gotta get some I think

Ali - you just reminded me.......I gotta hang up a load

[Livinthedream]

Tell me why napisan is bad for my cloth?.....

[~Saram~]

It can break down the PUL and the elastic and it can also cause build up on the actual nappy itself - I have occassionally used it as a direct paste on a stain I wanted out that wasn't budging but usually sun gets most of our stains out.

IRL shops in Brissie - quite a few nappy stores have demonstrators in Bris too

[MrsC_Aussie]

Kaz - hope all that helps!!!

Maz - where abouts in vic are u again? were u out mooroopna or was thaty someone else? just thought it was ironic i'm gonna be in shepp the long weekend visiting the inlaws and u'll be in melb for the meet!! also...ur fleece covers...i saw a lot of them on nappy bucket and i was wondering... can u use them over prefolds or just over fitteds??

going to an IRL store sounds fun guys!! hope ya'll haean awesome time!

[*charmalea*]

Hokey smokes batman, hope it wasn't some cruel joke and you wernt the girl getting fired Mel !!
My mum has the kids to tonight while I accompany dh to a pi$$ up , oops I meant work function! So as long as there is something on their buts I don't care!

I'm on a train ATM so I'm bored and missing my babies, ds came up to me saying " I miss you I miss you all the time" LOL I think ( hope ) he meant he loves me all the time as that's what I say to him! On an exciting front ds has. Not had a ty accident for ages and this morning woke up dry ! He will eve. Get off his bed a do a poo In the toilet !!!

[Livinthedream]

Thanx Saram, havnt used it, will do so sparingly on selected ones only

[AmandaJ]

Lea have a great night at the **** up, ah work function, lol.

I've been lucky this week and got 3, yes 3 lots of fluffy mail, but that is going to have to do me for a while. We are looking at moving soon and I have to save my pennys until the move is over , but on the upside I'll be able to spend at the baby expo in June, so that's one thing.

On a sad note I washed my new BBH magic alls (minkee) an I have a black one and some of the black went onto some of my other boosters, hmmm not happy, but what can you do .

[teruteru]

Teru - I could hyena for you if it wasn't on a work day? So if its not on a friday should be cool.

id love to take on ur offer.
not sure when the stocking is though.

im goin to the footy tonight with our lil monsta he was a darl at cirque du soleil the other night. was intrigued by all the lights in the 1st half and conked out in the 2nd half after the intermission, but not a squeak from him

just did a quick nappy count. cant believe ive got over 50 now! but im cleaning some out as they're just not doing us justice no more...

[Kazbah]

Well we're using sposies still, I'm slathering the pharmacy unguent on at every change. And I'm changing every 2 hours (usually change around the 3 hour mark) which is really helping. I think also the pinetar is helping as the wipes wash (although DH has an idea that cloth - flanno nappy as a wipe - is more scratchy than disposable wipes with nasty chemicals - even the nurture nappy ones - i mean, really!)

So we'll see what happens!

[ezymay]

Hi Girls,

Just a quick one from me before bed! I haven't posted for a day or 2 I have been busy and caught up in a friend drama. OMG it was like being in high school. SO over it!!!! It has made me so angry and upset so I am going to cut her away.

Anyway nappy related I got my minilala from nappy chic! Its so pretty I love it! I think I like it more than the one I got from the lottery!

I hope everyone is well!
