Sorry hate to stalk but only because i have info!
I have coeliacs disease so i have a gluten free diet. Womans weekly have just release a new book on gluten free cooking. I got mine from woolies but it would be sold at major newsagencies.
Thanks Gigi, I wasn't too worried about it. It's way too cold and he doesn't get a red bum normally so it's not something I am stressing over. Prefer him to not have nappy free time then freeze lol As it is they only bath once every 3 days because of the cold and also the older boys eczema. Nights have been getting down to 1 degree!
well I give up with the Zada. Ashton leaks through it every time. I think it's too big for him. Can't wait to try my whizz kidz. He's growing out of so many nappies, but I am hoping he slims down to fit in them again, since he's only put on 500gms in the last 2 months but is still at 11kg. he's almost out of BBB fitteds :| The hemp ones still have 2 snaps, but the bamboo ones are on the last snap!
yesterday he did 2 massive runny poos, and they STANK. I am hoping it's teething and not a tummy bug. He seems fine today though, and from memory tummy bugs are usually lots of watery smelly runny poos?
I'm proud to say that I haven't dried the nappies in the drier for the last 3 loads This coming from me who dries EVERYTHING. I've just had them hanging on the clothes horse in front of the drier while I am drying clothes
WOHB: black BP, first time I've used a large on him, love it!
Nappies in the washing machine
longies drying after being lanolised
soaker airing after night time use
DF thinks I'm nesting. I'm on a mission to clean the house top to bottom today. I can't believe how dirty my kitchen was - when it looked clean to begin with. HMM!
Oh and this talk of diabetes. My niece wasn't diagnosed with type 1 until she was 9. No sudden weight loss, no extra wee-ing etc. but her eyesight went fuzzy and she was always sleeping and lacking energy. She's 17 now.
WOLB HH Cheetah print soon to be 10 dollar bargain bin cheeky butts NN that rocks ass. Would get more but even with 1/3 of my stash at my cousins AND a strip wash of all my usual nappies this morning, I STILL have plenty left over. So no more nappies for me even if they only cost 10 bucks......
im still around. have nothing exciting to talk about lately so havent been posting...
did my 1st ever stripwash yesterday, have no idea whether it was 'successful' or not though. they still kinda smell the same
waiting for more nappies, need to re-home some. bleh...
Ashtons wearing some super cute woolly feet things though. Think I want more, if I can work out what it is, got them second hand yonks ago and they fit perfect now and are so so so so soft!
I talked my cousin in to trying some Itti D'lish - she got a trial pack and now says I am gunna send her broke and she plans on highjacking a delivery truck - her bubba is 4 months old - so I have converted one person hehehehe.
Sami, I used the morning fresh method.
Do the' big' wash on your machine (y'know the prewash setting) and at the very start put a couple of drops of morning fresh in. (I actually put in a small sqirt) then just let it do its thing.
I think it worked, my nappies are kinda squeaky, its like any build up of oil/detergents are gone. Microfibre-ey is kind of how they feel....
Used hot wash.
I was actually downstairs strip washing nappies.
I use the dishwashing liquid too, little squirt - I know some ladies only use a small spot though.
Got to go hang them all out now.
Hmm how many night nappies do you all have?
We have 3 sandmans and 1 LL
Because DS isn't wearing many nappies at the moment I've been leaving it 3-4 days between washes. They're only ever tiny dribbles of wee if he hasn't reached the loo in time and I've been rinsing them so no stinkies. Just means my night naps aren't dry in time and I don't want to wash any more frequently it's only ever half a load as it is.
shell- i did a normal wash. then a hot wash with a squirt of dishwashing liquid & extra rinse. they turned out smelling like they normally do out of a hot wash with nothing put in. mebbe thats just the way they should smell? dunno...
Bonjour!!
Anyone remember me? I don't even want to look at however many threads I've missed in the last two weeks since I was online...
Still doing part-time MCN on holidays. It was hard in Lebanon because the water was doing scary things to my hair and skin, so washing nappies was potentially destroying them! Also, the pollution was stinking everything up when I hung them on the balcony to dry. But still managing every second day in cloth.
Now in Nice, the water is hard, but we have an awesome washing machine to use, works like a front loader but is a top-loader. Has a hatch in the barrel thingy. Also works as a dryer, and is only half the size of a regular washing machine. Don't know why we dont have them in Oz... Wish I'd brought more MCN and less clothes. Don't need much as it's hot and sunny and we're at the beach every day! Oh well. All that chatter about how cold it is, I'm really starting to freak out about coming home now. Don't have a dryer, and haven't experienced winter in our house yet as we only moved in last Sept. Guess we'll find out on Friday when we get home and back to my Little Squirt! Seriously, I miss that thing... one time I didn't use a flushable liner for DS, and we didn't have the travel potty handy... erk!
Have had loads of comments on DS's amber necklace. Seems everyone knows about them here, but I haven't seen any other kids with them.
It would be absolute hell for coeliacs here. It's hard enough being lactose intolerant!
Maz - I wanted to take pics of the Pot Of Gold in Monaco, but there was really nothing there to stop for, so we kept going to Menton, near the Italian border. Also wanted to go to Italy for a bit and take pics there, but it hasn't worked out that way. Sorry!! There's one on my facebook page in front of the sign to Italy tho!
Alors, back to reality in a few days... and hopefully some good news about the 13 BumGs I sent back coz the elastic was shoddy!
WOAB: sadly, a sposie. It's 11pm here and he's sleeping. But there's a tidy little pile of fluff ready for tomorrow!
hey nana ! i love travelling your making me jealous!!! its my DD with the gluten intolerance and it sucks , its hard enough finding food in my town let alone abroad !! well done on the mcn usage .. and that washer sounds like a hybrid
thanks caddie will pop into the newsagents today ! its hard because dd hasnt really got teeth and is still on pureedish food , maybe i cant make it and mash it
DH forgot a NN on DS and the poor fella wet the bed , not sure what time it was but we had a visitor hogging the bed for the rest of the night ..
and there is a sposie on DD's butt soon to be a woddle bots , as the sun came out yesterday long enough to dry some nappies ...
we have a photo shoot for DD tomorrow , do you think i should take a spesh nappy and get pics??
but what nappy ??? my fave is a whizz kids but its 2nd hand and the minkee is looking a liitle old
i do love WK but the are a bit puffy on Gabs .. maybe coz of her tiny giney
eeewwwww DS just told me he "bompit" in his hands .. but it was a huge green lugie ... groosee
I got given an Iish Fly from the lovely Mel yesterday, and X promptly christened it. Ewwwww. 4 poos in one day ugh! Also got a Cute Tooshies to try for overnight.
I bought a Snoozywun, GF and Wildchild last night, can't wait to get more fluffly mail!
haha candice its always the way, something new gets the crap test. I still haven't unpacked my bag from yesterday - I'm a slacker. Can't be stuffed doing it today - was NOT a good night here. *yawn*
WOTB's: Still night nappies. Have to change his and she went back to sleep. Or should I say, she went TO sleep finally
We had a bad night. Oscar peed through not one but 2 ecobubs.
I really dont know what to do with him, they are too tight around the middle, but legs gape, so going up a size will not necessarily help.
This is the same with quite a lot of nappies - atm the only ones that fit OK are widdlewuns - though small are now too small, and IBs but there again hes had to go up to medium for around his middle, but legs are skinny.
So nothing fits properly without a cover, and we've been most living in IBs with cover or BBBH
DH lost my favourite SB pocket, which also fit well
If anyone knows where I can get some WWs in medium let me know.
And that newish second hand site where I've seen lots of familiar names, if someone could PM me the url that would be good.
ray - yikes! Sorry to hear it hun, but check out nappy chic or buy for baby.
We tried using a night nappy last night (super boosted GK) and not changing X when she woke up for feeds. It worked well, she didn't fully wake up and went straight back down. For the first time she slept 5.5 hours (that is the longest EVER for us!). But when she woke up in the morning she had two red raw welts on her bottom (actually, not near the exit hole, closer to underneath her legs if that makes sense). Dunno why? The nappy was only on for 8.5 hours.
WOXB - Fuschia itta and a smothering of black pawpaw ointment
This coming from me who dries EVERYTHING. I've just had them hanging on the clothes horse in front of the drier while I am drying clothes
So no more nappies for me 
even if they only cost 10 bucks......
- her bubba is 4 months old - so I have converted one person hehehehe.
