Cloth Nappies # 178

**alioops** · June 23rd, 2009, 03:21 PM

Alioops - weren't your first two girls petite? i don't want you putting pressure on yourself, to watch the scales constantly for Leah, maybe she's just a small build and nothing more sinister than that? Sounds like you have more than enough milk for her, i'm so glad for you.

They were both over 3kg, and Em's issues only got noticed because of continuous losses. She was born 2.96kg and this mornings weight was 2.58kg, which is a bit more than they like them to lose. She has hardly any fat on her so I am feeding her and then topping her up with a syringe and then expressing, every 3 hours. I end up with about an hour to an hour and a half between finishing all that and starting all over again. I am not going to give up easily though, I will go supply line before bottle if I have to.

Sami - Have you checked the bin? JIC someone thought they were being 'Helpful'.

WOLB: Old style Magicall. Should check it but Sarah is cuddling her and does not like handing her over
WOEB: Something else, she has been changed again thanks to her constant nappy removal.

Gigi - We were gone three nights 4 days and the only facility at the camp ground was a toilet and a small tap which people used to wash hands, dishes etc. I didn't think they'd like me washing stinky nappies under it. We didn't want our first camp with DS to be really isolated but next time will be

All the nappies we took are still on the line sunning, but doesn't look to be ANY stains - hooray! So yes the bucket stank to the high heavens, but nothing that a good wash in the machine didn't fix.

Oh and we had NO room in the car for the "wash cycle" in the esky lol The nappy bucket only just fit!

Thanks for missing me Gigi, seems no-one else did

I did!!! Just slightly busy at the moment and spending WAY less time online!!! We still need to work out a meet - something that is free, coz I am seriously broke - for before Anna leaves!!

**Livinthedream** · June 23rd, 2009, 05:14 PM

AWWW CM- I would have posted just to hear ya come runnin, but I knew you were away

I read some where that some people just hold thier nappies on the inside of the toilet bowl and flush, it would polly work for mcsquirty poos. I tried it on our plasticine 'log' poos and it sorta worked. But we only get 1 a day at best and its kinda a peel off and a 2 second rinse type. So I dont bother.
Mebbe wouldnt wanna put my preciousnesess in a public dunny anyway......

Yay

Fluff for me
A hot pink, purple and orange itti sewn in seconds.
Ray bummer bout yours

I got a bit worried when I read that, but mine were the right ones.

Hi Girls,

I am new to the land of fluff and already I am excited and getting kind've hooked. I've been lurking in here for the last few days but I need some advice. Lara is almost 8 months and a bit of a chubby bub, I was wondering if any of you could recommend good MCNs for her. I know it is all trial and error. So far I have ordered one Bum G pocket nappy (it arrived today can't wait to use it

), Itti Bitti D'lish trial pack and also Cushie Tushie trial pack. I'm thinking out of all these there should be something that works for both Lara and I. Out of the ones I have ordered for her are there any that are better than another?

Thanks

Aww Ali you get a special exclusion because you've got the beautiful little Leah to keep you busy at the moment. Let me know when you girls want to meet up, I'll try my darndest to be there.

Shell - I knew you'd miss me, well at least miss taunting me with the "PING! - NEW POST" hehehe.

Hmm not much to say today except that I'm snowed under with washing from the trip away, re-stocking the cupboards and fridge of edible stuff, generally getting the house back in order and stupid in-law dramas. Ugh.

WOPB: Nothing, he's back to pooping and weeing in the toilet today. *sigh* Actually a relief with all the washing I've already got piled up.

**Cheeky_Monkey** · June 23rd, 2009, 05:58 PM

Oh and sorry Leigh, I didn't have DS in nappies at your LO's age so I really have no advice. I'm sure that one of the old timers in here can help you.

hahahaha old timers hahahaha
oh you girls love me don't you...

**Smoz** · June 23rd, 2009, 05:59 PM

I WANT TO CRY

for several reasons but mostly because im an impulsive do do head.....grrrr

I've wanted a CGR for a while now but never have the money so i have stayed away from her website all together....as it was i was at the expo with a budget to get a sling, didn't have the sling i wanted there so i happen across the nuture nappy stand and see a gorgeous small CGR and think what the hekc ill get it...

now correct me if im wrong but aren't all SMALLS $30 on her site? well i paid $40 for a small wich i wouldn't of minded but IT DOESN'T SUIT HIS BODY TYPE wwaaaahhhhhhh so i will have to sell it on

so on top of that i come home and mum has found my new B4B cow print and put it on Tallon for his midday nap (wich he always poops during) and didn't do it up properly so not only did he do a poosplosion in my nice new nappy but it came out everywhere cuz it was done up 4snaps too loose grrrr

WOTB: other new B4B giraffe print

**Ryatha** · June 23rd, 2009, 06:00 PM

Fluffy mail as well!!!

I got 2 IB snap ins (yellow and green - yes I am being conservative!) and they are the ones I ordered. Ray I hope you've called to see if they can change it...

**Smoz** · June 23rd, 2009, 06:02 PM

Hey Leigh! like i said in our other thread the BumG's are a good workhorse nappy for us but very bulky on my skinny mini...i love itti's

**SamiH** · June 23rd, 2009, 06:53 PM

Hiya Leigh!!!!!! How lovely to hear that you and little Lara are doing so well - doesnt the time just fly past!

I only started Zander around 7 months in MCN's - hun I love Itti's too - the cushie tushies I have I have had to put away cos he has chubby thighs but not around the waist and I cant get them to snap so they dont leak after an hour. I have one BumG and it is fine so far I think. It is a little bit of trial and error.

Another favourite of mine is the Ecobubs - these ladies are probably sick of me banging on about them - but they are lovely with side snaps.

I havent gone into the world of stockings and custom made nappies yet and am trying not to whilst my credit card recovers from building up my stash the last couple of months so cant comment on those

**ezymay** · June 23rd, 2009, 08:33 PM

I just read Lesley's (Cherub's Kiss) newsletter. Does anyone else get it? It sounds like she has had a (or some) dodgy customers and is considering never doing customs again and has had to change her payment terms and has the right to refuse to sell to anyone. Sad

**suse** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:02 PM

As members have expressed an interest in having a thread for swapping cloth nappies, we have set up a Cloth Nappy Swap Noticeboard for you here. Please note that the thread is for listing items for straight swaps only, there cannot be any monetary exchange. Items for free may still be posted here in the general discussion. Happy Swapping everyone!

**Visitor8** · June 23rd, 2009, 09:55 PM

yes at first I thought maybe Lesley was doing it because of all the B4B auctions, one of them is mine so I was starting to worry that maybe in HER eyes auctioning them was a bad thing. But I can't see how it can be that. That is what B4B is for. So I am thinking maybe someone has either brought straight from her store or got customs and stuck them on B4B which has upset her.
Sad really ... but nothing can really be done about it. Can't believe the prices of Auriels though. I am not going to complain, I need the $ right now since moving and the bills are piling up... and at the same time someone can have a VCH auriel that I don't use

Ashton has peed a lot today. Very out of character for him but good. I was starting to worry that he wasn't getting enough fluids but apparently he is when he can soak through every nappy within 3 hours! Usually I can take one off after 4 hours and it's only a little wet.

WOHB: Sandman... he's in bed, hopefully for the night!

**Arimeh** · June 23rd, 2009, 10:04 PM

OMG. DS just outwet a GF super nights - in 3 hours. So now he is in our bed.

**Doing my best** · June 24th, 2009, 06:45 AM

LOL Mel, well it was cold last night.. it's amazing what they will do to sleep with us

(maybe he put a glass of water down it like in the Huggies add on tv).

***charmalea*** · June 24th, 2009, 07:31 AM
