Wahoo Missy, I am so glad it went well for you.
I think the PUL cover might have had a crease at the point where she got her red marks. Oh well, lesson learned.

could she be reacting to the elastic? is it where the inside of the nappy was or where the nappy was sitting?
Just wanted to update you on the dave issue since it is good atm
Had mediation today. Was so stressed about what was going to happen, dreading a fight with Dave about visits, but I had my proposal and my fingers crossed that it would go ok. It went fineDave agreed to what I put on offer which is good, last thing I wanted was to be running back and forth to a lawyer and court fighting him on it.
He agreed to 6 contact centre visits. They will happen once a fortnight on the weekend for 2 hours. Then I said after he's done that I will be happy for him to have him for the day but NO overnight visits.
He didn't realise we had moved, I had to tell him that and he didn't sound very happy. Oh well. He sounded very shocked when the lady was saying "do you know where Ashton is living right now?" lol
So in about 4-6 weeks visits will commence, then it will be 12 weeks of contact centre visits, and I will be more comfortable with Dave taking him since he will be older and hopefully not so relient on my milk
So yay for us, yay for me getting what I wanted, he didn't even disagree with anything I said, he just kept saying "I just want to see Ashton". Think he might have missed him since his last visit in April? LOL idiot! The lady prompted us to talk about what Ashtons doing with milestones and anything new and Dave was floored that he has 6 words that he uses reguarly, has taken 5 steps and is a smart little cookie!
Nappies... well I've just changed him into his Bizy bee halfie :P

PrincessXanthe- what was your user name before you changed it? Or have I got you confused with someone else?
How long do you leave lanolising things in the water for to soak?
Also, is it only the V2.0 BumGs that have the problem elastic or all of them?
Finally, DD soaked through a wool cover last night???

I was oscaroscar
. Was the wool cover that she soaked through lanolised? Sorry I don't know how long to soak it for, perhaps overnight?
Registered User
I soak my wool covers for about half an hour to lanolise them. And apparently most of the bumg's have the elastic problem - I have had elastic go in about 3 of mine (I have about 15 or 16) and I've had them over a year, using constantly. I think I've got a pretty good go out of mine!! I'm getting the elastic replaced (there are people that will do it for you for really cheap) because there is nothing else wrong with them.
Missy - glad you are sorting something out
Registered User
Thanks for the explanation PX and Arimeh re BumG.
Well it is lanolising now but wasn't when she soaked thru it as someone told me that the wool on BBHs was so thick that it didn't need the inital lanolising but she wasn't to know how DD soaks everything!
Registered User
I always lanolised my BBH wool covers - and then I ended up getting rid of them anyway

Mel - could you PM me about this when you get a chance babe? I need some of mine done too but FJ did my last lot and I don't know of anyone else who could fix them for meI'm getting the elastic replaced (there are people that will do it for you for really cheap) because there is nothing else wrong with them.
I'm such a slacker, I realised today that I haven't prewashed any of Boo's nappies yet!! I keep forgetting about it. Today would have been perfect, nice and sunny but I've now got a line full of clothes...maybe tomorrow.

Hi ladies!
Rayray - with the ecos, do you snap them up in different positons, or both at the same place? Because with laa, i usually have the tummy snap done one tighter than the leg snaps so that they give her a good fit.
mel - glad things are working out for you hun
katie - oh!!! sorry babe i didn't realise! in that case yes give them a lanolising
our nappy news - ANOTHER night nappy has holes. could it be acidic teething wee? its only the night nappies - can pee be that strong that it will chew holes whilst its on her? she doesnt wake up with a rash or anything.....?
wohb - the newly re visited itti's - they really didnt sit nicely a little while ago now they are great!
OMG what NN babe? one of mine???
Elastic is easy...ive done it for a few girls in here.....If I lived closer I could teaches ya's all

Hey Girls
Not much to say except that I'm jealous of NaNa.
Umm nappies drying on the line.
DS went the whole day in undies, even trips to the shops for hours - NO accidents at all. Such a good boy, but makes mummy sad and happy at the same time.
Hope you're all basking in the fluffyness tonight girls.

OK...what is this??
Was folding DSs IBs this afternoon and one of them looked all weird and wrinkly on the front...on further investigation it feels like the PUL is all stuck together under the minky??
Any ideas ladies??
Registered User
Willow there is a bit of that happening. Contact them about it. I'm about to about some of mineThey are sounding very crinkly.
Registered User
Willow I have heard that happening with a few itti's. I think others had to send them back.
Registered User
oh yeah the good old delaminating.... sigh...
I am having the same problem again with the new ones I just got sent as replacements! Just can't be assed dealing with it so i'll just put up with it.
Kids are all in bed thank goodness. I am exhausted today, don't know why. Nappies are all washed and in my room with the 2 baskets of clothes I washed in the last week and have been TOO LAZY to foldwaiting for me... yay... I bet your all jealous hey...
On a good note, I have managed to not use the drier for ANY nappies for a weekNow this is a big thing for me because I dry everything in winter! But I've been hanging them on the clothes horse in the laundry and the drier is going with clothes and they get dried fast. Or dragging it out when Ashtons sleeping and sticking it in the window in the sun.
Sold my VHC nappy

Tummy snap one tighter than legs? Im not sure what you mean. I have them done up in different positions, but the top and bottom snap line up, not always left and right are even though. I fine this on all the side snapping nappies, I do the first side and then the second side is uneven, but if i change it they're both uneven
I have used the ecos with success before, i think maybe he is just growing our of the small size. He was in a medium bubblebub today as well
Registered User
Kitten- Actually can't really remember who it was as it so doesn't matter but I am sure it wasn't you! Couldn't get the darn thing dried in time (only got my very first one last week) to put on DD tonight so she is in a sposie which will leak anyway so tomorrow night I will test it on her!katie - oh!!! sorry babe i didn't realise! in that case yes give them a lanolising

Do the leg snaps up first, both ones, then do the tummy ones up as tight as you need. You might find that the tummy is on the tightest setting, the legs are on the second snaps out. This is the joy of side snaps. I always do the legs up first because you get a better fitTummy snap one tighter than legs? Im not sure what you mean.
