Has anyone done a canestan rinse for their nappies? I haven't personally done one, so just wanted to know at what stage of the cycle of wash you added it in, and where you added it (like, in the fabric softener dispenser??) and how much you used. I'm willing to try it to stop my shredding problems
Um what else nappy related. Nope - got nothing. Haven't brought anything so can't brag about that.. LOL
- DPs mum has done the nicest thing and offered to start pre-washing my nappies and the clothes we have recieved so far... that is a great and wonderful thing right...
Then why is it that I can't say "thanks, that would be great - here are the washing instructions and things you will need"
I can't describe how I feel about it properly but part of me is TERRIFIED she will do something wrong and my precious, precious fluff will be ruined before being pooped in... last night she was mentioning she would get some napisan and bleach, I quickly responded that I would provide the things needed as MCNs are quite different to other cloth nappies.
A couple of questions for you lovely ladies:-
* can she wreck my fluff if she follows the directions?
* if she decides directions are not required and does her own thing... will I be strip washing for the rest of my life?
* how will I know if she hasn't followed the directions... I suppose when there is wee and poo everywhere in 3 months time?
DP thinks I am overreacting and I think I might be too... but I did want to do this myself and am now being bagged out my DP and his family because last night I said "thanks but it is ok I am going to do the prewashes on the weekends" - this was shot down with "mum is retired... and she wants to help - just let her help".... and that is when my anxiety started - thanks for reading my vent
kitten- i got 3 FBs, 1 for me & 2 for the goatlady. but i finally get a nappy in the choc/blue bubbles minky which ive been dying for (1st it was the actual minky,then it was the DM stocking) think i might still get the minky & make it a set, pretty sad i know...
mel- i use canesten in every other wash in the fabric softener dispenser. depending on how much nappies i have in the wash but it varies between 1-2 capfuls. I think usu i use 1 cap when i use detergent & 2 caps when its just straight hot water
tk- bleach & napisan is really unneccesary & can wreck mcn from what i know. mebbe tell her to just do hot washes no detergent?? dw abt the anxiety attack, im like that when the ILs come back for visits. Im even scared to let them change monsta as what if they do it too tight or too loose (there had been issues with loose nappies when he was in sposies)? im sure MIL means good so maybe just tell her the nappies dont need anything extra as they r new?! and oh...babies are sensitive to detergent & chemicals so only a teeny weeny bit will do. maybe they will take it easier as its for the bubs good? hope it goes well.
I got fluffy mail woooooooooooooooooot!!! GF, Wild child and snoozywun .
X and I went to the shops, she peed through her magicall, and clothes, and my close carrier, and jumper... so i put her in the carseat and she pee'd through that. It's been a great start to my wedding anniversay . But fluffy mail makes it all better!!!
