Cloth Nappies #177.

[teruteru]

well, i use bepanthen on monsta's bum & havent had problems yet.

lansinoh is fine to use. To lanolise (cut&paste frm OCN):
•Hand wash if necessary in a little soap. Covers can be lanolised either wet or dry.
•Melt a small amount of lanolin (about pea sized) with very hot water in a jar. Do not shake the jar! Then dilute the melted lanolin with warm water. Some people add tiny bit - just a drop or two - of wool wash or baby shampoo to help disperse the lanolin.
•Pour mix evenly over covers in a bucket, topping up with warm water to just cover them. Many people find it useful to turn the covers inside out before lanolising.
•Soak for at least 15 minutes (overnight is OK too). Remove cover, do not rinse, squeeze excess water and hang to dry out of sunlight.
•Be sure to dry your soaker fairly promptly. If it dries slowly, it may develop a musty or sheepy smell. Also, keep it well out of reach of dogs!

Anyone help with itti's question? I am stuck between getting medium (6.5-12kg) or large (10-17kg) for my 18 month old. She is 12 kg and 84 cm tall. I am looking at the d'lish but not sure if they are big cuts or not. I want them for her now! TIA

ETA- is it worth buying extra small nappies (2.7-5.5kg) for newborns or stick them in bamboo prefolds with covers? (They are not Ittis- just cheap 2 for 1 Bum gs)

I use bepanthan onthe kids just make sure you use a liner cause i have discolouration from it.

i use spray on lanolin from bubblebubs Kat...Im to lazy to wash them ect

Katie - Vy is 12kg and in larges....dont foret its not just about the weight but the rise to

as for xsmall nappies...I would be happier using flats for hte first few weeks until I could work out what shape my baby would be

Its quiet in here........the joys of a cold winters morning

willow/mel - is that the love hearts one or the yellow one? i remember it

Neither? Roses.. the one I'm talking about has roses over it? I think? Gawd I'm so confused. I have to go through my smalls again.. lol

Leckert - welcome

Katie - are they the small bumg's or the newborn ones? I had the smalls and that did DD from birth to 6 months - so was a great investment on my behalf! Mind you, I did still prefer my prefolds and covers and I have got more prefolds now ready for the next one.

Anyone know what effect (this is not nappy related, but could be eventually) that off apple juice has on babies bums? I accidentally gave the kids apple juice yesterday that had turned - and DS did the grossest poo yesterday afternoon, and then DD was up at 4.30 today screaming like she had a sore belly. They only had a little bit and I didn't realise it was off (distracted by toddler screaming I would imagine) until DH took a sip of it last night and nearly threw up afterwards.

Mel - the most it would do is give them the cha-cha's and an upset tummy. Shouldnt last long though if they only had a little bit.

[Willow]

Mel - You're right, just went and checked and the nappy I have is a Very Baby and has bright pink etc hearts all over it.

Hope the apple juice ramifications don't last too long! I gave DD off yoghurt once (obviously not realising it was off) and the poor little thing threw up all night....maaaan did I feel BAD!

*waves* hi everyone!!
so hard to keep up at the moment!!

I have a quick question re liners.
Which ones are the best disposable liners?
What about re usable ones?

[Olive]

has anyone used the natural womem foaming Baby Wipe Solution????? i used to use bubblebubs but its getting too expensive!!

ll80 for disposible liner i have bummis, tots bots and another one cant think of the name, for washable pop into spotlight and grab some microfibre and cut it up!!

[Maruschke]

I have flushable liners from Happy Babes, disposable liners from coles, and reusable liners (microfibre) cut up from spotlight. I prefer the washable ones .

I just got back from having my 6 week pp checkup at the GP's. He was amazed to see a mcn on DD1's butt! Haha he thought the idea was brilliant but too much work.

[Olive]

thanks maz will check them out!

[Freya]

We got Mazalicious goodies too - our THC and Bear night nappies. Ds1 was more interested in the strawberry scrumptious smelling soap and is now stomping around the house sniffing them singing 'Fruit Salad' song

I had to bleach some of my boosters for some of the older two's nappies because they both did exploda-poops that stained EVERYTHING. No amount washes got the stains out, it was so gross. But a bit of a bleach soak worked a treat so now Im strip washing them and hopefully theyll be good as new.
