Cloth Nappies #176

[Gigi]

Happy 9 months old today little Emily.

Charmlea
longies too big is not as bad as it sounds.

a hand sewn hem solves the length and means you might get TWO winters out of that pair, instead of ONE.

the waist is adjustable with the drawstring inside the waist on LJ

the hips being a bit too big means you can use them over night nappies as well as day nappies.

Marlene
i have same problem, need new dh to make my nb dreams come true. Nb fluff is so gorgy!

Could Jack be having the "acidic teething poos"? bilby had those, the SECOND the poo comes out, they get what looks like a BURN mark on their buttocks, it's really painful for them, as in a SCREAMING come help me quick cry. Great the moo goo helped - which one do you use for nappy rash? i have a few moo goo moisturisers and a soothing cream too.

Brigsy's girl - lovely to hear all about darling little Emerald, enjoy those nb cuddles, i know you will. You don't take anything for granted, when you've had to wait that long and try so hard, to meet your little girl.

Safe travels and non-traumatic suitcase packing, to those of you about to hop on planes.

Nana must be somewhere on the other side of the world by now.

Teru - did the moogoo excma cream help Monsta?

how exciting to hear all about the woollies you have got coming, hope you post pics of MOnsta modelling them!

who asked about narrow crotch fitteds? was that you Charmlea?
did you know apart from Swaddlebee FITTEDS, and Swaddlebee POCKETS, there is ALSO a Swaddlebee FITTED POCKET. the inner and outer are both organic velour, and you put a sb insert inside (like you do with a pocket), the diff being you then put on a waterproof cover over the top. Very very absorbent. and narrow crotched.

itti bitti boos too.

and daisy doodles - yowsa, if only i could have had a stash of those! all made out of bamboo velour (like cute tooshies) except SIZED. nice quick drier too.

Hailey - nb stash building is fun too - very different from mcning an older child (to me). it made a huge diff to me, to have NB sized stuff. whilst pregnant, i could not bring myself to buy nb sized stuff, thinking "what a waste of money when they grow so fast".

But one week of putting my nb (3.79kg) in smalls, showed me how vital FIT was, to the success (pootainment) of mcn. So i changed my tune, did a 180, in the space of one week (changing my entire clothing many times per day, scrubbing couches, baby seats you name it, it got pooped on.) As soon as i got nb sized stuff, pootainment happened. big sigh of relief from me!

I think it was more a case of him being in his pooey nappy for such a long time hasn't had any more red bum since, so that's good!
I use the MSM Soothing Cream...I also have the double cream anti ageing face cream for me and the lip balm


Jack slept through last night for the first time EVER!!! About bloody time, he's 13 months now! He went to bed at 7pm (usually wakes anywhere between 10:30 and 11:30 for boobie) and slept straight through till 5am, I gave him a quick BF and back to bed till 6:30...yayyy!! If only I had of went to bed early instead of sitting up till 11"30 waiting for him to wake.

Marlene - Yay for sleeping through!!! Did he leak though?

TK - I think you might be right. But they are still on FB so DONT FORGET TO SAY GOODBYE TO US THAT HAVE TO STAY HOME!!!!!

BG - Her name and the reasons for it are just gorgeous. Mr C is so sweet!!

There are some nappies in the dryer. DH has just gotten home and FIL is about to head home. Mum will be here on Sunday night so tomorrow the girls are in care and DH will be back into doing it all himself for a couple of days.

[Kitt3n]

BOOM BOOM BOOM! just to make some noise marlene !!!

That load of washing that got rained on has been brought inside and is still very wet. In front of the heater now, so glad I have a back up stash!!

It has been very quiet in here today ladies. Imagine what the weekend is going to be like with everyone at meet-ups.

I'll be here, posting to myself.

Ali - if you need any help at all while FIL is gone, just let me know. Even if you just need me to go buy your bread and milk and drop it around! I'm only in Condon so it's not far for me.

No fluffy news here.

DS wanted nappy free time, which I give him lots, and was so distracted playing with daddy that he weed on the floor. Then he goes and hops on the toilet... after the wee...

I'm so hanging out for more fluffy mail. Don't expect any at all now since everything has arrived. I've been buying nb and smalls in preparation for a baby that I haven't even conceived yet lol Oh it's wonderful receiving all this little fluff. Going to put on a layby for some CT's with Ali's wonderful discount! Yay for fluffy friends.

Umm I think that's all I have to waffle on about at the moment. I shall return with more mindless chatter later.

Waiting on one pair of monkey longies from somewere over the clothiebumz way and my knits for knots

[Arimeh]

Thats all.

[tk1999]

My mum is a dear - I asked her a while ago to knit me some soakers etc in preparation for bubs - just so we can have it down pat before bubs gets here - and she has already finished the first one! Go Mum!

It looks too big though... it is apparently the smallest size - but can a clothie bum really be that big??????

[teruteru]

BG- emerald is gorgy love her name, esp nevaeh

gigi- will surely do nodnod

never knew so much decisions there is for a custom, its doing my head in...

LOL Gigi,
I am under NO illusions about pootainment!! Despite Finn being 10lb4oz and full of fat rolls his poos were watery BF and ROCKET powered (complete with rocket sound).
He'd poo every feed between boobs and I'd have to grab him under the armpits and carry him straight to the change table without touching the bottom area or poo would be up his back and almost to his head!

So I'm ABSOLUTELY in for MEGA good fitting covers! I've got 1 NB and 6smalls, expecting another 4.5kg+ baby. If later scans show a smaller bub I can quickly buy a few more NB size.

I have been waiting on 2 bamboo delights from a trade for almost 2 weeks now.. I'm so scared they are lost in the post... my first lost post ever and i'm devastated... so silly, only 2 second hand nappies, but something for the NB and it' HURTS. I really hope they just turn up soon.

tk1999- I've knit one woollen soaker so far.. it doesnLOOK a bit big, but once I put a nappy inside it fills out ( I did small not NB size) but there should be lots of stretch if you use a good pattern and big is fine. A handknit soaker isn't going to give you any pootainment, so it is fine if it's a bit big.. and it will fit longer. Once I know sex I'll probably do another 2-3 soakers/shorties for bubba.

Wow Maz on the Auriel.. I was really wanting to try one right before Finn TT'd. Never got to in the end. They do look cute.

[Marlene]

Marlene - Yay for sleeping through!!! Did he leak though?

Nope, no leaks. Didn't even make it to the outer snap on booster on the GNST. He's only a light wetter. I don't think I needed to even buy night nappies, LOL. But at least they don't have PUL I suppose....better for his bum all night.

I'll be here, posting to myself.

I'll be here CM....I wish I could be in Melbourne though, sounds like its gonna be just too much fun!!

[ezymay]

I'll be here too!!! SO jealous about the meet up it sounds like so much fun! But Maz (marlene) I'll see u on the 17th hopefully!

I am getting fluffy mail soon!!! 2 lots my Maz stuff has been posted and an order has been placed for some CT basix and one of their new wetbags!!!!

[Cheeky_Monkey]

Quick question

Does everyone here wash their wetbags after each use? Do you air them out on the line after each use?

[ezymay]

Cm I wash mine each time! Usually cause its had a poopy nappy in it.
