Cloth Nappies # 178

[tk1999]

Leckert, great minds think alike - I was going to post a very similar question this morning!!

[Arimeh]

Leckert - I'm pretty anal, I like to keep my inserts with each pocket - most have their name label on them though - so makes it easier for me...lol.. the only ones I don't keep particularly together are that I do put a green kids bamboo in an ecobubs... or I have been known to put a bumg microfibre or haute microfibre in a green kids pocket if I'm in a pinch.. lol

And hellllllllllloooooooooooo everyone - rainy old day up here on the sunny coast. We went shopping and we were stopped by a nice old man who told us that we had lovely behaved children because they weren't screaming and carrying on like the other ones on the other side of the shop.. bwahahahaha... I'm like.. hmm.. its amazing what BRIBES will do... and plus - the other chick had 4 young kids on her own all fighting over a packet of chips. DH was wearing Miss M in the ergo (finally got it to fit with a bit of adjustment today woot woot!! so excited) and DS was wandering around pushing the trolley with a chupa chup shoved in his gob. Yup. Peaceful. lol

Nappy related. Um. The kids wore nappies whilst shopping.

WOAB: BBB & M/E cover
WOMB: Bumg.

I thought that when you had your own kid, you became heaps more tolerant of other peoples kids......Apparently not

Great buys at the expo!

Mel - ROFL at the shopping, doesn't it make you feel good when you get those kind of compliments?

I'm back on track with my nappy washing, I was a couple of days behind ...

WoHB - bubblebums night (for his day nap) soon to be FB.

I went to the expo today and scored 5 itti's for $20 each. Bargain! Can't wait to cover them with her ferral poo.

WOXB - DH changed her, so it's probably a sposie .

Another newbie to MCN question

Am I hanging my MCNs up right? my photos to check

I'm hanging them long-ways across the wire (of my airers) and then pegged in the middle to hold it on. I've got the inside of the nappy facing upwards.
(I included a link to the pics I took earlier today. I wanted to post them in the gallery on BB but it's not working properly for me.)

Thanks for the photos leckert - that is how I have been drying them between pre-washes as well.

Also, generally how long does it take for them to dry? My boosters have been taking over a day to dry but the pockets have dried very quickly.

Hun you don't have to dry between prewashes

Depending on the nappy and the layers sewn into the nappy AND the weather it can vary. In hot weather I can hang on the line and they will all be done in a day. Now it's cold it can take up to 3 days for them to dry. So these days, unless the sun is shining they all go in the drier on warm.

[Arimeh]

Maz babe - I understand - you know that

I don't think I dried during my prewashes either - can't remember to be honest!! I don't do more than one prewash anymore, just don't leave it on them as long.. hehe... but usually its something that I've been waiting on and just HAVE to put it on them there and then

What else was I going to say? bahhh its gone.

[Ryatha]

Thanks girls for the info re the pre-washes, I've done 3-4 washes now so I've given up, put them all back together and now have my nappy shelves all organised. mmmm might need to get more boosters...

I've been trying to teach DH how to use the MCN's (not that it is hard) but his reply is 'as if you'll let me near the MCN's til you have played with them for a few days' he is so right! of course until i get sick of messy NB poo!

[Kazbah]

Love your new photo Maz! So gorgeous! And ... you know what I'm about to do don't you love .. what we talked about at the steakhouse. Or I talked

Rytha - yes, boosters take longer than pockets. Pockets are usually a layer of PUL and a layer of Polar / microfleece. Once the actual PUL is dry (and the longest part to dry that is the beads of water on the PUL plastic side) then they are right to go - that may only take an hour! Boosters though, well other than microfibre may be 4-6 layers of bamboo / flanno / hemp and may take up to 2 days ... I always have twice as many boosters as pockets ready to go!
