Cloth Nappies #180

Rayray - i can understand why the child nurse would be worried about you washing in cold (after the vaccination). Just use MCN but use 60 degrees hot water.

i read an enormous thread on another forum last year, about how to wash mcn when your child has gastro. 90 degrees hot water, and for a fortnight AFTER they have gotten better. and to cope with the 90 degrees, to use flats, prefolds, contours (stuff that DOESN"T have elastic in it, cos 90 degrees hot water would kill the elastic). and stuff without PUL too. so i suppose that leaves you with prefolds.contours.flats and woollen soakers.

i know rota virus isn't gastro, but thought i might as well throw this into the mix too.

LECKERT -
Cushie Tushies - an aio that DOESN"T need a cover
Cute Tooshies OSFA bamboo delights fitted DOES need a cover
i suspect you have a Cute Tooshies, so you did exactly the right thing.
congrats on your first go at using mcn, it DOES take time to get used to it. the more you do it, the easier it becomes.

nappy flat folds need some origami
but PREFOLDS - well if you can fold an A4 piece of paper into three, there, you have just demonstrated the "skill" level needed for prefolds! (they are designed to be used INSIDE a cover with leg gussets, e.g like your Motherease RIkki covers.

prefolds can be THe Nappy for the newborn
later on, they are The Insert for pocket nappies, THe Booster for fitteds, extra absorbency for night nappies, you just keep using them until tt-ing.

Raven - congrats on Caleb tt-ing. What weight is the divine Miss Ruby now? is she up to 8kg?

wotbb: blueberry trainers and purple/aqua longies

we went to visit Beatrix today and with all these other little people to play with, bilby went all shy! Little MJ is now walking about all confident like, as gorgeous as ever. and Leckert, MeganH was there too, baby hasn't arrived yet!

MLM - DS has ponky pee here too ..he wears keester kovers and the booster reeks in the morning .. i need to do a strip wash but i have no idea how to do one in a front loader ..

Raven - Sz 1 fits up to 9kg , i think a sz 2 would be too big on Gabbi aswell (not that id know, can never get my hands on one lol ) but prolly not for long either .. i love med ittis BUT even in med size Gabbi can get leg gape the wings meet in the middle and i can cross them over but the her pudda belly pops over the top and looks uncomfy ..

Gabbi out grew her small magic alls at about 8.5 mths ( starting to get crackage as she grew alot in length that month ) and med MED magicalls are only for night time , the minkee ones are rad for over night for her ... if im usuing them in the day the MA's are over her belly button ... heheh harry highpants .... shes 1 next month and 8.2 kgs ... pocket sized

any one know why my minkee is going dodgy ?? like when you wash a teddy bear and it comes out all manky and stiff .. kwim ????? am i washing them wrong ? any one else get that ??? its anoying me alot as i have to put them in the dryer to fluff them up .. but id rather not ...

raven, i know what you mean about the auriels, there is a HUGE difference between size 1 and 2 isnt there? I think they should make a 1.5

who was talking about nappies fitting and then not? my abby gros were a shocking fit not long ago, now they are perfect again, as with the ittis. I think there is definately a need for "in between" size nappies! ittis and abby gross seem to fit that perfectly!

i am waiting on a very special fluff thats all i am going to say lol!!

her BB iso's fit like a glove - but i am just going to wait till her mediums are all over with before i put them on the shelf, i figure larges are going to be on the shelf for a much longer time

wohb - sb's ss fitted (leah did you end up getting some? they are fantastic)
