Ryatha - E had a teeny bit of nappy rash - we used moo goo on it and it was gone over night. it's fine to use with mcn's... smells divine too - and when E is in a good mood after her bath (most of the time now!) i use the moo goo to give her a massage/moisturise her as well
Ok so nothing to post - but very bored so I'll post anyway.
We all know frogs go...
i got 1/2 fluffy mail today :p

i got fluff today but im sad...i received a GF AI2 and nappy knickers BUT it doesnt fit!!
im so sad have to sell it as it doesnt fit...the nappy knickers...well had to do some adjustments as the original snap positions werent really working.
as i dropped the bamboo fleece to Kat today, she help me with some nappy troubleshooting. She added extra snaps on the sandmans to hopefully stop the wing droop & added new snaps on the knickers so now they sit better :D
waiting on my 2nd FB...

. . . they all go gloomp gloomp gloomp!:dance:
Maz - why are you sad about Nickolas turning 9? that's it's gone so fast? or wot? tell Auntie Gigi all aboot it.
Yeh, the weewuns is where i would go to look for sized, fitted swaddlebees too.
Ryatha, are you after covers to go over WHAT?
what size is Grace in kg?
If the covers are to go over prefolds, i would suggest covers with leg gussets (bummibrites, imsevimse, bambino mio, thirsties)
If the covers are to go over flats, i would suggest a small baby beehinds PUL
where are you postcode wise? in the east near city, is Rainbow Tree
south near city is Nature's Cradle at Goodwood, plus their Somerton Park store further south.
if that is a hike for you, for the cost of the petrol to get to those places, there are online websites that do flat postage rate (costs same as you spending the petrol, if the stores are far from you).
For nappy rash - nature's cradle has their own brand of Hemp healing balm, little jar, last forever, brilliant stuff. it's natural, won't stain your nappies either. i found it a great preventative, use a little when you see the first signs, we rarely had to keep using it.
Simmon's paw paw salve is good too, in yellow tube or tub (online or some chemists, some health food shops).
Rainbow tree has the black tube brand and also the Weleda one - both nonpetrochemcial based.
wotbb: yet another night gone to bed, having eaten ZILCH dinner, in her blueberry trainers, and woollen longies. i did not weaken when dh wanted to give her weetbix at 9pm. i feel like such a meanie. She is so determined NOT to have even ONE mouthful of dinner.
i have a button on my computer keyboard that brings up a onscreen calculator (including translating a number into a different currency). that overcomes my maths!:
the weewuns has (right now) swaddlebee fitteds SIZED and swaddlebee fitted pockets SIZED. (reduced too).
i used the fitted pockets, and really recommend them, found them easier to adjust the absorbency, by stuffing the pocket (compared to the purely fitted version of SB). Just like the Mandy Macs and the tots bots fluffle, it's a pocket that needs a COVER, a fitted pocket (made 100% of absorbent material.)
there are quite a few sized fitteds on the market to suit wide crotch, but not many to suit narrow crotch, so the Swaddlebees fill this gap, well. (sorry, that was a completely unintended pun, my bad).
(cannot get Justine Clarke songs out of my head, and we haven't played her cd for the last week! my brain is tuned to toddler music!!).
hehe at the pun ;)
i love justine clarke , we are goign to see her at the end of the month as playschool is on tour !!!woot!! Dh likes her too ;)
looked at the wee wuns on the iphone last night i wanted to buy sooo many but dh and i were on our way to a business meeting so i had to hold back .. off to browse on a full screen now !!
they also have verybaby in side snap but it says for tall thin builds .... are they wide crotch?? should i get front snapping then ???
there is a huge possibility that we are moving very soon , and we are pretty much homeless untill we make our mind up ... now im packing it about the nappies , if we move in withe PIL it will be ok , but if we move into the house where our business is ... well im not sure where to hang my nappies :(
its basically an oversized office so im thinking a stack of prefolds and covers untill we move into a home .... where/what ever that will be :think:
Well!!! I put DD in a sposie for bed last night due to her blistered babootsie so she'd stay as dry as possible on her skin, and I shall not be doing that again. This morning she had done an enormous pooplosion which had come out the side of the sposie and to make matters worse she'd somehow managed to kick open all the buttons at the bottom of her onesy and get it all over it as well. Now, I've never had THAT problem with the BBH's. Ech! I thought bubs were supposed to poop less with age . . now it's 4/5 times a day - must be because she's been eating and drinking like a horse.
Thanks everyone for advice about canesten - It's clotrimazole cream and it rubs in clear, I've used it for years on freaky recurring rash I get whenever I'm stressed and have noticed it seems to dissolve with water easily so is prob no worries to use without a liner for that reason - barrier creams do not cut it if the skin breaks. But if I use good zinc barrier cream over the top I will use the liners.
Everyone seems pretty enamoured with moogoo, is that just because it can be used without a liner and smells yummy or is there something about zinc cream that I don't know?
Charmalea - That's unfortunate about having to shift unexpectedly. Hope it's with the PIL if it's going to be that cramped for you - wouldn't catch me moving in with my MIL without someone cattle prodding me tho.
Maz - DD is 7 months and I sometimes cradle her in my arms and can't believe how big she's gotten already and dread the day she'll be off to school let alone 9 - it all happens too fast.
Lea - I hope the big decision and the move goes well hon. I'm with Sas - there's no way in hell I'd move in with my in-laws. NOT EVEN if you were caddle prodding me! There's no torture worse than living with them. But yours are probably much better rofl
Sas - I don't know what's wrong with zinc creams. I used them right up until I started MCN but yes I'm a moogoo convert now. I use it on more than just bums though we use it to moisturise and all.
Gigi - Stay strong woman. Bilby will eventually cave-in before you do. How are her nights going, dry? I remember you saying a while ago she was going through a bit of a nappy/wetting stage again.
Maz - Each birthday is a tear jerker isn't it, to know they're not babies any more. Well Nikolaus hasn't been one for a while, but he will always be YOUR baby hon. Don't forget that.
To all the ladies that got ecobubs - JEALOUS! I'm not allowed to buy :(
Well DS wet his night nappy last night so we aren't out of nappies all together yet. Gigi - what did you do to night train Bilby? He's still perfect during the day and will tell me when he needs to go.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall...
i dont want to move in with PIL either , thats why im pushing for the house where the business is :pray: that we can have it ... NOT PIL as its stressful just visiting and she doesnt know how to cook steak :lol:
i can not decided on my fitteds purchase arrrghhhh
lea- hope something works out with your housing situation. I would hate to live with the ILs too, but we kinda have the ideal situation atm. we live in the ILs house but they r interstate most times on their farm. so they only ever come back for short stays. Any longer I would lose it esp when i cant communicate with them (they dont speak english!)
nappy-wise: what is Gab's build like? im guessing she's skinny & long...anyhow VB r narrow crotch. i'd second Gigi on SB fitted pockets. they dry faster than other fitteds. Ive also found cute tooshies to dry pretty quick too, their sizing is pretty generous though...what r your choices which you are tossed between atm?
i think ive got my stash to a happy size: 40+2. im gonna try stick to looking but not buying. besides i should b making nappies soon-ish so yeah :D just so i know, whats a good size for 2 in cloth?
fluff- im not religiously practising EC on monsta, i do try when i can b bothered. But the main reason i got the nappy knickers is because there are times when he wouldnt stay still long enough for me to do up his nappy so figured id give the knickers a try. its much easier to put them than nappies when he's standing...now i just gotta figure out my version :D
Sorry only a fly by...kids sick blah
but if I could direct you to this thread I would be kissing your feet muchly :)

My boy is still sleeping. Well make that both boys. Oh the life hey lol
Going to complete the quilt i've been making for my niece today. Just have to sew up the opening and all done! Then on to some bamboo prefolds I think. Oh well that's after I do my niece's flowergirl dress for the wedding.

woeb: kissaluv contour prefold thingy and maz tiger/zebra cover (and mummys foot print if she doesnt settle soon!!! jk!)
charmlea, bilby wore some very baby fitteds and they suited her too, and she was never long. the aspect that suited her, was the narrow crotch. she started out tiny chicken legs, turned into Michelin baby with three rolls on each thigh (from 4 - 11months), then crawling started and she lost the rolls. always at the bottom of the height charts and sidesnappers with narrow crotches have always suited (regardless of the skinny or chubby thighs). and she has had the buddha belly for ages. This is why i am so impressed with the sidesnappers - the flexability of the fit, even when your bub changes so much in a year like she did.
cheeky monkey - we went back to night nappies when she was sick, as soon as she got better, we went back to trainers. She seems to wet about 2 nights in 7. i didn't do anything to specifically NIGHT train her. She can physcially get herself out of bed easily and walk to my room (for booby juice in the night) but she doens't take herself to teh toilet (day or night). and even in the day with a parent there, she has to be "reminded" alot, to take her clothing down (even when she's BUSTING to go!!). So she's not at the stage of independent toiletting yet.
I am trying to boycott doing the clothing for her (it's so tempting to do it myself, she is so slow), so she develops that skill more and learns some confidence in managing the clothing. It's probably a good thing she doesn't go alone, due to her being short, the step being a big step, and the whole balance thing, i would be nervous about her going to the loo, alone, right now. She really does need to be taller, to do it safely alone, in the day, let alone the night.
even if the worst happens, the brolly sheet saves the bedlinen, so i'm not stressed about nights.
so one step at a time. She is one of only two at her childcare that's TT-d, and heaps of them still use a dummy, so i try to remind myself of that all kids are different, every time i get down about her lack of speech, not wanting to eat etc. they all develop at their own pace.
i've forgotten how to find the Gallery on this site.
Yeh Maz, what is up with the classifieds on this site? seems to be dead as a dodo.
wotbb: Monkey Bar Knickers by Rio - the smallest shop bought knickers i could find. good ol' bestnless.
Gigi - What size are Bilby's best and less undies? I can't find anything smaller than 3-4 and they stay up but are still big KWIM? lol Bilby is doing fantastic with her TTing so like you said, even if she is a little behind with other things she is still way ahead with that. Plus you've said she is good at miming her wants and needs so it's all communication no matter how she does it!
Maz - I haven't even STARTED the flowergirl dress yet. It won't take long though I just want something really simple. I was thinking of making a really easy reversible pinny. Beautiful white silk one side and something pretty on the other so she can wear it more than once KWIM? And a purple sash around her waist. Maybe an applique of some kind down the bottom corner. Not too sure yet. Better get a move on though.
The wedding is in 6 weeks exactly!
Nervous yet? lol YEP there's still so much to do.
Shell - technically you aren't working when you're posting on BB!
cheeky monkey - just before we STARTED toilet training, i went out and bought one of HEAPS of brands, of size 2/3 knickers. In boys AND the girls underwear sections, of big w, kmart, bestnless, target, coles, woollies, everywhere i could think of. Franchised and plain. that was more like February, and we're in July now. None fitted her in Feb, the only ones that fit bilby now (July) are the monkeybar knickers by rio, and a pair of halfpints i had made at noonee wilga (custom made) - actually they fitted in Feb, as they were custom made to her exact measurements.
we've been using day trainers, like imse vimse (the 11-14kg size) for ages PAST when bilby actually needed them, purely due to the fact that at least they fit her (would have used starbunz trainers too, trim fit but the synthetic inner didn't suit bilby). so finding knickers that fit has been a trial for us too. I won't have to buy knickers for her, for AGES, we have so many for her to "grow into".
the smaller sizes of knickers, are not always available, esp in the monkey bar knickers. i got to the stage, i felt like a toddler knickers stalker! i was in those sections so often, CHECKING for the right sizes to be there.
wotbb: aforementioned monkeybar knickers
some good bargains on the ozbabytrends site atm for anyone after workhorse mcn. My friend has tried out the OSFA fuzzibunz on her narrow crotch bub, and found the fit pretty good. She has the red one with the daisies on it, very funky.
You can never have too many pairs of knickers/undies Gigi! ;)
DS picks out his each day and sometimes wears a few because he tries to pull his undies up before he's done the "shake shake" lol
Maz how does he go with velour? I got my snap-ins velour lined as I dont tend to like mf against oscars bum either.
He he CM :)
I know, and I should have stayed downstairs working. Lil Man was awoken by some clients picking up thier saddle and instead of putting him back in his swing,( he has his day sleeps in a motorised swing thingy in my "workshop") we came upstairs and tooled around with computers and stuff. Big mistake. A tired Lil Man is an angry Lil Man :(
Wow, the whole VHC auriel thing has gotten way out of control hasnt it?
I would luve to see one IRL just to see what the fuss is.
BBL, gotta feed my kid
Am I the only person never tempted by an auriel? A nappy is a nappy if you ask me. I understand Maz loving them for the way they are helping Mateauz though.
Shell - Obviously you have something to do with horses lol Oh how I miss my pony riding days as a youngster :(
So bored. So, so bored. So very bored.
My mother is taking full advantage of her surgery and having to "rest up". Oh I sound like such a b*tch saying that about her, but my god she isn't as bad as she makes out to be. Milking it for all it's worth lol
If any of you ladies want some AG's let me know and I can get them at the markets for you ;)
Here is the link for the gallery. I bookmarked it coz I could never find it either...
No nappy news... DS was going better with the ECing while we were on holidays, but now it's so cold, it's such a hassle to get all the clothes off him in time. Still only a couple of times he's pooped in a nappy tho, so it's ok.
Still didn't receive the over-stretched BumGs back, so I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing...
I haven't even looked at Auriels. Not gunna!
WOAB: GF super NN, "cheeky monkey" pajamas, and soon to be a straightjacket if he doesn't stop climbing out of bed!
CM, Yer, I am a saddler :)
You got cabin fever? A week ago you were soo excited she was arriving :lol:
I was going to ask you if you would play hyena for me at your markets, I have heard good things about the AG's. Adam even mentioned how we dont have as many nappies as normal since the boy started getting bigger.
I dont have time to be frantically refreshing on stocking nights.
But I am curious to see what they would be like on my very generic child. (pretty much everything fits him)
WOmy grizzly in bed baby'sB swaddlebees pocket thingy
I don't know if it's cabin fever. I am very happy that she's here - I missed her heaps as we're really close. It's more that I'm sick of her being so dependant on me. She's worse than looking after another child. She's putting it on more than anything. She can do things perfectly fine one minute, then the next when she doesn't feel like doing something "oh it hurts" lol It's growing old!
I would be happy to get some nappies for you chicky. The next markets aren't on until 7th of August but I'm pretty sure I should be able to go to them. It's 2 weeks before my wedding so I will want time out IYKWIM lol Send me a PM if you like.
ahhh what a day! DD refuses to sleep through the day unless she's just fed and is in my arms. heaven forbid i should try to move to be more comfy or put her down to go to the loo! love her to bits, but i need some time out! DH shouldbe home tomorrow for a couple of days, but we have so much to do before the baptism that i'll be in the same position cos i can't afford for him (and his muscles) to be out of commission holding her! sigh...
nappy wise - went through her stash and grabbed out the smaller small nappies (as opposed to nb covers and things) - time to start experimenting more. they're pretty and i wanna get more use out of them!
WOEB - Panda baby stars nappy. PB got mixed reviews (just after i ordered them d'oh) so we'll see how they go!
Swoit. Thankyou, I will PM you.
I just found a "lottery" on 2nd hand auriels (would you believe) so I have entered, cause I really wanna see why they are so good. And cause I have a whole heap of work to go out this week so I will be cashed up :D
Hope your mum is feeling better soon, all you need now is for DF to get himself a dose of man flu - now that IS hard work ;)
Prolly should go to bed....
Night xx
DON'T wish man-flu on me - he's bloody horrible when he has the slightest runny nose.
BG - I hope little E settles easier for you soon. She might just be a mummys girl ;)
