oh my, BumGs at Target in the US?? I still wouldn't buy them again though... I just don't feel the love anymore! Too bad they make up more than half my stash, so I'm getting by with about 13 other pockets/OSFAs, and terry flats for now. Until I fix em up, anyway. I have a couple of BBB around somewhere too. And thankfully DS is getting used to being home again and using his potty.
Gigi, good luck on the food thing with Bilby! My SIL is going thru the same thing with her 2 year old right now. It's tricky, and I wish I knew the answer. DS started spitting his food everywhere if he encountered a grain of rice, small piece of pasta or lump of vegetable in his meal while we were in Lebanon. Then he would refuse to eat another mouthful. Coming from a kid who would happily eat risotto and nothing else, it was a shock. I went to so much trouble to get similar foods for him and cooked up the same stuff he would eat at home, but we had to resort to expensive imported jars of French babyfood meant for 6-month-olds... and DP ate the risotto! Now DS only wants to eat French bread and Boursin cheese, brioche and croissants!
And to make this nappy-related... um... I just can't describe the odd smell of Pampers sposies. They have the weirdest texture as well. So glad to not be using them anymore!!
Ali - I hope you find your HAB!
Oops, kidlet's awake... BBL!

Ladies!
I;ve heard a few of you talk about doing some kind of Canesten rinse? Does that mean I would be able to use Canesten cream on DDs iitti bum without a liner in my cloth. Nappy rash looks soo sore I think I need to break out the Anti-fungal JIC.
-
Found It!! It was on the other couch with all the washing :rolleyes: So she is sleeping on me now.
Sas - I would use a liner JIC (says she who uses hydrocortizone without) but it is completely up to you.
Gigi - really good now. Still get a bit sore near the end of the day, but that is more in my back than my pelvis. Haven't tried lifting Em yet, but hoping to do that as little as possible anyway.
Lea - Em is nearly 2 and has only recently gone into size 1. Her size could be to do with her intolerances.

Sas - I think the Canesten rinse is an actual liquid you put in your wash, that you can get from pharmacies and maybe the supermarket. Not sure... Depending on the cream's base (petrochemical etc) I wouldn't use it without a liner. I wouldn't use any creams on nappy rash without a liner, just in case!
-
Ali- her size could be the intolerance reason , even though I had her at 42 wks, she was sti so tiny even the pead was surprised at her size for such a late baby, maybe it's just her and She won't be Fat growing up, coz I was and I hated it!!lol
gabs is in a sposie I couldn't be bothered assembling nappies as she's still really sick and I will be out late tonight so plastic bum it is
Haven't made up my mind on fitteds yet do SB do sized or just osfa?? Looking. For a sale to justify my purchase lol
-
We're doing a strip wash :rolleyes:....nappies are smelly as hell
out ot hang them in the sun now (we have sunshine :dance:)
anyone else experience delays in getting stuff via mail? Is AP really slow or is it cause its just me?
-
Yep Maz - They are superbly slow. I'm a bit over them these days.
-
AP problems here too. Stoopid AP. Plus I almost ran over an AP motorbike today as he cut me off. GRRR
Hmm not much news - packing away the nappies tomorrow :(
-
AP issues here too. sam posted me something i should have gotten yesterday - still waiting....
WOEB - mummy is a mcn addict ww
-
lea- SB do sized & osfa. which style were u looking at getting (pocket/pocket fitted/aio)?
maz- ive been waiting for fluff...shouldve got it yesterday/today, hope its not lost :(
so much RAK going on atm, its always good to see ppl r willing to help in the times like these. ive now got a sewing partner, no excuse to not sew no more haha except for the travelling time :P
im so slow, only realised bubblebubs & cute tooshies are now run by the same person. took me multiple emails to notice (even thou its her signature)...it wasnt until i was saving her email that i noticed...ive had multiple blonde moments today GRRRR
oh wellz, back to the kitchen i go...
-
and for tea tonight bilby ate NOTHING (again). sigh.
wotbb: blueberry trainers and longies
NaNa, what is brioche exactly?
ALioops, glad you found your HAB, hard to look for stuff when you're in a sleep deprived state (which i assume all mums of nbs and esp those with other kidlets as well, are in.
AJP - hope you got my email about narrow crotch trainers.
DH has ordered my snap press (late Mother's Day pressie) on the Greenbeans sale (free postage to Australia) which is a big saving. so now, after bilby is out of mcn and has all the bibs she needs, i will have a snap press. am hoping it's true what i've heard, that the snap presses are useful for other reasons too.
Saw some lovely rainbow shorties on elly belly (ozebaby store) tonight, if only i had reason to buy them!
Clothncraft are now stocking the Drybees Night Fleece pockets, been ages since they were stocked in Aust.
Charmlea, it's you who looks for CATERPILLAR stuff for Gab isn't it? i saw on babybullfrogs nappy site, under CLOTHING, they had i think a skivvy with the hungry caterpillar on it, applique maybe? Might have been a caterpillar nappy on that site too.
talking of sizes, i JUST took bilby's size 1 tracksuit pants out of her wardrobe, FINALLY she is too tall for them! but many of her size two pants are very loose in the waist, i don't like the elastic waists you can't adjust, no way to make them smaller, cos if i unpick ALL THAT, i might as well buy a new pair.
she must have a long torso, cos for length in tops, size 3's are good. (but need sleeves folded up/hemmed. We have lots of size 2 tops that fit everywhere EXCEPT the length.
anyone who knits, is there a way to learn how to read a pattern (i mean a REALLY simple pattern) without sitting next to a knitter? i can knit and purl, cast on and off, increase and decrease (teach myself from you tube videos etc) but cannot read a pattern to save myself. How do i get to the next step? Would love to knit an entirely PLAIN stitch jumper or vest for bilby, if only i could work out, "how do you learn to read a knitting pattern?". all those K's and numbers, i just go dizzy and blank out. reminds me of maths lessons at highschool (i got U's in maths!!!). that is the worst fail you could get. I need to work out necklines, to make a boat neck or a V, to get over her big noggin.

it's helpful to use a microfleece liner when you use PETROLEUM based barrier nappy creams, on your bub for nappy rash.
you don't need a liner, when you use NON-PETROLEUM based nappy creams (often called salves) on your bub fo rnappy rash.
the way to tell a barrier NR cream
- a solid colour
- cannot be rubbed into the skin
- feels oily
Lucas Paw Paw Salve (red packaging) is also petroleum based (just to confuse you).
Some nonpetroleum based ones are Simmons paw paw salve (yellow packaging), hemp bottom butter, hemp healing balm sold at natures cradle. Weleda, and the black tube that i always forget the brand name of !!! grrr

i did thanks gigi!! will sit down today and read through it again!! thankyou so much :hug:

Grr I always forget what I was going to post!
We had a fun night last night.
DS went to the toilet for wee wee like he does before bed every night. Ten minutes later from his bedroom comes "Mumummmmm wee wee!" so I get up and put him on the toilet. Yep does a wee, great go back to bed.
10 minutes later "Mumummmmm pooooo!" So I get him up and put him on the toilet. Yep does a poo and goes back to bed.
10 minutes later the cycle repeats lol he thinks he can get out of bed lots if he keeps telling me wee or poo. Needless to say it stopped working after the 3rd time and he eventually went off to sleep.
After all that wee-ing though, he still wet his night nappy. First wet one in 4 nights.
No other news here.
Anyone know the best way to store nappies? I want to pack the day nappies up for the next baby just not sure what's the best way. Was going to put them in a large plastic tub with a lid and maybe put a scrap of bamboo or hemp in the bottom with a bit of lavender on it to keep them smelling fresh?
Should I strip wash them before I put them away? I was thinking it's better to strip wash them now rather than when I get them back out again for another baby. HELP! I want to deal with these today.
Gigi - thank-you thank-you thank-you. Reading your post this morning you reminded me to buy a snap press. I've wanted one forever but didn't want to pay the $40 odd postage. I need to make a whole heap of small and medium covers for the next baby. Got lots of fitteds but no covers so the press will be handy. Then hopefully the next baby will be a girl and I can make pretty dresses and tops with snaps lol wishful thinking.
Teru - there certainly are a lot of different RAK's going on hey. I wish I could help out but can't part with nappies. Anyone looking for boys clothes? Got lots of them.
That brings me to another question: Anyone know how I can find details for local womens and childrens refuges? I have lots of baby clothes and ladies clothes that I'd like to donate to them. I'm sick of donating clothes to salvos etc. and then seeing them on a rack for unreasonable prices. I've tried simply looking in the yellow/white pages under refuge - not sure what else to try?
Are there any other worth while places to donate clothing to?
Sorry my post is getting long now I think I'll leave it there and come back for more later lol
