    Berry Plushes can be snapped front or back. I think it depends on the wetter. Tummy sleeper should snap in the front, boys wet more at the front too I think, girls at the back.

    I don't do nappy free time Maybe once a week if Ashtons lucky. Im a terrible mother with that but it's too flipping cold!

    no nappy free time here .. too flippin cold ... gabs shiver when i remover her wondersuit to change her bum and when i put the wet wipe against her but her eyes bulge out of her head and she starts to cry ... winter fashion at our house is a bit crazy .. its a mix match of what ever fits and what evers warm , Gabbi usually has a nappy , siinlget suit , wondersuit and a tracksuit ... its verrrrry cold here !!

    THanks MEL and ALI for the food advice !! maybe no one in ipswich cares about gluten intolerance ...its hard to get nice GF food in the local supermarket and the health food shop is big on supplements and potions but not so much on food ...

    I know its a fair way to travel for you, but if you get off the train at Indooroopilly there are two health food stores within walking distance that do lots of gluten free foods. I'm happy to pm you the details if you are interested .

    OOOH OOOHH Lea, you can still order the expo price trial for the ittis, just put in expo as the code at the checkout. Tho the $40 trial pack stipulates it must be 1 snap and 1 sewn in. I tried to get 2 sewn ins and she wouldnt let me
    Gluten free cake rocks, I prefer it over regular

    On the site, the itii biit discount from the expo says: "The coupon is valid between 06/19/2009 and 07/19/2009".

    I'm seriously thinking of making full use of it - the nappies are so cute and fluffy!

    Thanks Anna I see that code is just for a trial pack I like the sewn ins so will just get some seconds they are the same price anyway not free shipping tho but that's cool. The sydney code was 15% off everything and free shipping over $50 wish I'd used that one!!!

    Hiya ladies,

    I learnt yesterday - DO NOT put bamboo boosters in the washing machine with darker minky MCNs unless one sort is in the lingerie bags that I was using to check that the velcro stuff didn't come loose in the wash. I now have lots of white fluff bits all over the dark minky fabrics of my darker MCNs. It's only the first pre-wash for them both so will do a separate pre-wash later today to try and remove the lint look I didn't notice the same effect on the lighter coloured fabrics so I didn't realise that they would fluff up as much. Mind you I'm still getting used to a new washing machine, I managed to convince DH that we needed to upgrade from a 4.0kg to a 7.0kg machine that wouldn't leave lint all over clothes (opps). At least none of the other clothes have been linted since I started with the new machine.

    over the two plus years we used mcn (now just using cloth trainers and longies), i had quite a "thing" for black/dark coloured inners, and/or dark/black outers, so i learnt to put those ones in a zippered bag, to save me having to de-lint them.

    i was warned, pretty early, to do a separate pre-wash load for all the white/light stuff esp the terry type fabrics - apparently they lose quite a bit of loose threads in the first few washes.

    i had a WAHM tell me, if i wanted to keep my fleece covers in tip top condition, to wash them in a zippered bag each time - that worked well - really good news when you go to sell your stash too.

    with regard to the zippered wash bags, i found lingerie wash bags would only last me two weeks continuous use, then the zip would completely disintegrate. i worked out it was much cheaper to buy dustmite protector bags for pillow cases (they are zippered). Not only cheaper, but bigger and they last for a very long time without the zip dying on you.

    MAZ - 11 Auriels ! wow, you have a gift, woman! that's amazing! Great that you have found something that helps M's hips.

    now who was asking about organic cake? i find that ORGRAN cake mix brand in woollies organic aisle and health food shops. THey also make nice little cookies in the shape of australian animals (ready made) too. all free from the things that many kids are allergic to/react to.

    wotbb: bluberry trainers and woollen longies

    For the nappy free time stuff, whilst babies are non-mobile, having a nappy free time mat really helps (i had a Swaddlebees mattress protector), putting baby legwarmers on them, and having a heater on, for the 15 mins of nappy free time or however long you want to do it. So baby inevitably wees in that time, you just throw nappy free time mat in with the next nappy wash load.

    Days i struggled to give bilby nappy free time, i would instead leave her naked from waist, on changetable, do up the safety strap across her tummy - and for five minutes, fold up her clothes, put them away, prep nappies etc (i coudl do all that and still watch her, be in arm's reach, cos the room is so tiny) - so i figured that was better than nothing.

    MadMel, don't worry about nappy free time, not doing it doesn't make you a bad mummy, i'm sure it's much harder to do it, when you have three kidlets to think of (by yourself), i was spoilt, only having ONE bub to think about, plus bilby has a hands on daddy. i think of nappy free time as an OPTION, not a MANDATORY thing to do.

    i really struggled with nappy free time once bilby became mobile. We have WHITE RENTAL carpet in half the unit - say no more! This is probably another reason we went down the road of more substantial cloth trainers, instead of naked time and undies like many people do instead - i couldn't handle the stress of "the cheap white carpet" and "the rental bond" issues. i don't think it would be such an issue if you had tiles, floorboards, or owned your own home and didn't have to answer to a landlord. We also don't have any suitable outdoor space for me to be able to let bilby loose outside (naked).
