Cloth Nappies #179

sigh - i am outta the nappy buying game short term cos DH isn't working much (but having him home is awesome!)

i have just seen some pics of the most gorgeous nappy cover that is in the works - Maz - you're a LEGEND hun


WOEB - ummm a flat and maz cover of some sort - soon to be more of the same and off to bed. poor poppet has some nappy rash - she was so good today while we were out and slept HEAPS but it meant opportunities to change her were not as frequent as at home when she is awake more - lots time in the car and now her little bottom is red tonight...

WOMB - WC and cheetah MAL cover
WOVB - eco stuffed :dance:

morning all :waves: agreed it is cold .. got the heater crankin' its and industrial size one but the stupid thing is in the dining room NOT the lounge where i spend most of my day ..... it heats the dining room and kitchen up and just makes a big noise,so we cant turn it on early in the morning as it will wake the kids ... what kind of idiot puts and industrial size heater in a HOUSE and only in 1 room ???? must have been a male ...

lucky im not a fan of pockets coz eco bubs are cute , but just didnt do it for me ...

well ive been thinking about fitteds lately , ones that are sized and can go under longies .... wonder how much bitti boos RRP for .... hmmm or any other recco's ... Im sick of folding down the BBH's for gabbi , she is still in the infant size but the crotch is too long and looks like she has a huge package :lol:

and as for nappy news ... the fluff fairy is visiting soon and im really sooooo excited .... is it ok to cry over a nappy if its sentimental?? :lol:

another s*hit night here again .... gabbi up all night on the boobie crying when something touched her face (swollen lip and gum from and infection:() and just was out of sorts . 3am nixon had a coughing attack and then wished to watch cartoons , but jumped in bed with us and coughed in my face ... 4:44 DH got up and hocked his gollies and made man noises .... so i got up and gave gabbi a bottle and for the 1st time in 4 nights slept for about 5 hrs .... so dh and i are just moody cows today ... plus the stress of a big decision we have to make kept us up all night aswelll ..... oh well lucky for coffee !!!

WOGB - tiger striped itti ... hear me ROAR .... meow

Boo's are $27.95 hon..but I know someone who has a few that she wants to sell on :)

:doh: some dumbarse left the clothes horse outside with the nappies on them last night so now some of my boosters are crunchy :o from being frozen...their under the heater vent now to defront

phew :sick: someone stinks......... oh that was me :redface:

yeah maz ??? who .. pm me :)

Hi Ladies

No nappy news.
So sad, so sad.

Good news though, DS's grandmas operation went well. Now for all the whinging and "help me with this, do this for me, go do that for me" begins :( Two toddlers to care for, for a while at least.

Very happy though, just bought an easy cook health oven. Very cool. I have a knack for turning DF's birthday presents into things for me ROFL
Plus today I get a mix master YAYYYYYYYYY Been wanting one forever.

I guess something good comes from not buying fluff - more money to spend on kitchen appliances. DF got a kayak out of it.

Lea - you're perfectly ok to cry over a nappy, especially a really sentimental one ;)

Very very very excited, I'm going to be a tester for the very first time ever. Night nappy of course, no need for the others lol.

WOPB: thomas the tank engine undies

Boohiss, DD1 out-pee'd her GF last night, and I think the pee got cold and woke her up. So it was a long up, up 3 or 4 times by the time I fed her, figured out that her nappy (which worked perfectly last time!) was wet, changed her and put her down again. *yawn*.

Mel are you still after donations? I have a BBH & Wool soaker here.

WOXB - BG.

quiet in here today !!

I'm here ;)

... as always lol

I got nuthin to say...

.. as always ... lol

Actually I do - I tried a Rumparooz the other day on both kids, its actually pretty good!! Surprised me it did, thought it was going to be a bunch of you-know-what, but its good, only fault was the velcro rubbed on their tummies, but I'm told that isn't a common thing, so has to be a skinny kid of mine problem I think.. lol

WOAB: Ecobumz - white. Pocket.
WOMB: Cuddlebuns & longies (which are a small, so they are like 3/4 pants - but the rest fit her. haha)

im back from meeting with some of the girls from NA.
i saw a ticklefish, pity im not a fan of velcro otherise i wouldve got it :D
waiting on fluffy mail this week...hopefully they'll come
im done with wipes for now, moving onto other things on the to-make list. DS needs new home-shoes so will get them done this week
off to the airport this arvo to pick up my auntie
ive bored u all with my talking out aloud, so i better be off...

HI girls,

I'm here too have been out and about this morning. I got fluffy mail!! More itti bitti's! I ordered 3 and some bamboo mini boosters. I ordered a baby pink one but got sent one of their limtied edition pink spotty one's didn't realise and I've washed them now never mind it's still nice! DH was home and I told a fib saying they were a swap.

yeah still after donations. Happy for them to be sent here and ill send them all together :) Don't feel really comfortable sending her details out to a heap of people without permission yk.

I brought 2 CKHB off that chick. SO annoyed :( Oh well... stupif B4B. Wont go on there again.

IM here...have been busy with amigo's..went for a walk down to coles instead of driving for a change....cleaned up a bit, did washing, had one of my besties over :) now cooking goulash (traditional way)

Have bought a nioce choco rco from someone (dont know if I mentioned that before :think:) and waiting patently for a my first GF :), knits for knot longies, snaps, fabric, longies form a co-op.

Im thinking I might buy another Eco or 2 for Vy. I had her in IB's but in the morning it looks like her butt is cooked red raw...horrible and it doesnt go..she also complains of an owie jaja :( friggen super sensitive kids! But the last 3 nights Ive had her in IB boo's (after Renee said she used them) and WOO HOO no saying her jaja is sore, nor red bum :dance:

Feel's good to find something working so well after all this...boo's are nice and slim still so she doesnt look rediculous and the eco's are just as good.

SO strip washing a few of her nappies tomorrow :( and off to market they will go.

i'm here! dh has been home sick, laa is super clingy and i am starting to feel yucky myself :(

maz - google bib n tucker - nappies are similar to ecobubs but the leg holes are slightly larger. she is n.z and she will do velour inners ;) the lovely gigi put me onto them

i think i have to get rid of my bundle of buns and my berryplush, just not working (yet oh sooooo pretty!)

wohb - swaddlebees eco

Ok I think my post got lost into cyber land...

...can't be stuffed typing it again sorry girls.

Will be back later ;)

Hey beautiful ladies!!

I had forgotten how much time NBs take from me!! She is feeding 2 hourly at night and 2-3 hourly except for a 4-4.5 hour sleep during the day, so I am pretty knackered!!! But it is working, she is gaining weight and fat wonderfully, another 240g this week!! And those little chicken legs are starting to get some fat filling the skin on them. More of her nappies are starting to fit!! Now if only I could find cheap jumpers in 0000...

Anna should be in Syd now, hope the flights went well!!

Nana - welcome home!!!

Mel - Bugger!! Sorry, everything here is in use or will be very soon. We only just scrape through with 80 nappies for 2.5 in them, washing daily!!!!

I had a visit from a fluffy fairy (Saram) today. She brought the cutest SpunkyButts Small for Leah. It will get prewashed in the next nappy load. And some Imse Vimse organic cotton bibs - which are really good!! She hasn't been sick on them, I've just leaked on one when I let down too fast for her. And the bigger girls got a Play School DVD, which Sarah couldn't wait to open and watch!! MWAHS hun!!

I can't find my HAB!!! DH put it away somewhere and I dont know where. Leah is being clingy and I want my full range of movement in my arms.

I have started using my cup (after making sure it didn't hurt) and I LOVE it!!! I even forgot it was in earlier!!

WOLB: Blue HH OSFA
WOEB: NFI

it is theoretically possible for a baby to wear night nappies 24/7, but this is why they don't (my hunches)
- night nappies have double the layers of absorbency compared to day nappies (the bulky bit), so they usually cost more, often double the price
- the extra bulk is harder to accomodate under day clothing
- takes up more space in the nappy bag
- night nappies are designed to be worn for long stretches, so if you had the baby in the night nappy for a long stretch in the day, well, i doubt you would actually GET the long stretch, cos they would poop, you need to change them when they poop, so then you need another (expensive) night nappy, so you'd need a sizeable collection! ($$$)
- night nappies usually take longer to dry, so are on slower rotation (being able to use them again) - except for night pockets, like the Drybees night fleece pockets.
so there you go, i'm all out of hunches about that theory now, i'm sure other people will throw more in

NaNa, if only you could have had a stop over in USA, where you can buy bumg's in Target! LOL.

Teru - i've listed side snap night nappies so many times, and i showed you ours when you visited, are you sure you want me to bore you again with another list? What you describe, does suggest SS night nappies to me. They're not easy to source, easiest (and i use that term tentatively) would be Cute Tooshies night nappy and Whizz Kidz Nightz. (both fitteds). for covers, i would go the dancing bears and the disana woolly pullups (no closures, great for SS bubs and tired mums).

Maz, are you using large itti bitti boos on Vy as a night nappy? Is Mat still using his, or can you use the ones Mat had, on Vy?

Charmlea - i had the same experience with BBH OSFA, no matter what age bilby got to, they were always too wide, too tall, gave her wingdroop something chronic etc etc. They are a WIDE crotch nappy, and i eventually found out, the nappies that DID fit really nicely, were all SIZED and narrow crotched. Like the itti bitti's - except we needed sidesnaps as well.

Missymoo, sorry to hear you got ripped off.

Hope all the sick bubba's get well soon.

Alioops - lovely to hear you and Leah are doign so well. how is your pelvis now? do you have physio or some kind of medical attention to get it better? hydrotherapy? (i'm trying to imagine a hydrotherapy place with a creche to look after two toddlers and a newborn!!).

Hope you find your HAB soon, so easy to lose "black" things, they just meld into the ether.

wotbb: bluberry trainers and lovely longies

The nonverbal bilby tells me alot with her actions. bilby has stopped eating dinner, i think she has replaced "i will only eat vegetable puree" with "i will only eat scrambled eggs". (Even the night i made a crustless quiche with 8 eggs in it and looking alot like scrambled eggs in consistency - argh!). Am trying to stand firm and consistent by taking away bath toys and night time stories (as the consequence for not eating dinner), but gee i feel like a meanie!!!

she has stopped begging for other food as she has worked out, all she gets offered is the original dinner. e.g tonight, tiny bowtie pasta in tomato pasta sauce. (she would have got her fave, muffin, for afters, if she had eaten the pasta). How long should i hold out for?

she's feeding her pretend knitted fruit and vegies to her toys and enjoying that experience. If only it would translate to HER eating!!

Brigsy, is that super spesh cover for Emerald's baptism? very gorgy.
