CHEEKY MONKEY - omg that cow costume is just off the wall! that's fantastic! and the bumble bee one is wonderful too. how gorgeous for the birthday photos to have the kids dressed up like that.
MELBEL - happy birthday, if you're lurkin hon!
Happy First Birthday M and Happy Birthing Day to you Arimeh.
wotbb: blueberry trainers and longies (she's been dry at night for around a fortnight now).
Happy Babes have got a great baby socks special on at the moment.
caddie - not a fan of GK too wide and too big all over on DD .
Sweetpea- ittis and BBH are my faves they work the best , ittis for day and BBH at night , with the BBH fitteds , i use longies as a cover or a MAL cover (if its a singlet and nappy weather) BUT the BBH and other covers i have tried are all too big on lil tiny tush ... so PUL covers are my back up , other wise im pressed to find a good cover .. a small BBH cover is a good fit on DD but i dont have any left (cept whats in my demo kit)
if anyone can reccomend a good cover ??
I can't help with any of the questions - just popping my head in.
Gigi - Since it's so hot here I tried to make the costume a bit lighter. The bumble bee was home made as well by the little girls grandmother.
More stripwashing for me today. Slowly getting all the nappies packed away now just one load at a time on days where I don't have mountains of other washing to do.
Can someone give me ideas on what to make for DS's birthday party costume. It's the day before the wedding so I need to get it done now. Pirate theme. I've got some ideas just looking for more inspiration.
Hi girls! Aagh I went back to work today! I missed my baby girl soooooooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!Came home to find DH had used sudocream with the cloth tho..grr. How do I wash them to get it out?
Caddie my favs are ecobubs, CTs, BBH magicalls swaddlebees, minilala and I am happy with BumGs too and i like all the other nappies I've got!

Hello Girls
i cant believe how quiet this thread is!
who else hates snaps rubbing up on bub? it really annoys me.
her swaddlebees OSFM are now on the largest size - a little high on the rise but that's the only way to ensure her tummy is snap free!
wohb - aforementioned SB and maz cover
:nahnah: im here.....
Mateauz is out wetting every nappy within 2 hours lately and OMG his wee STINKS :sick: checked in his mouth and hello...top eye teeth have broken through.
have got a major cause of that cant be farts!
WOB - doopey auriel
Gee it is quiet in here , i need to be cleaning and doing worky things but im just soo knackered and tbh prettl lazy :lol:
something that gabs has eaten has reacted with her and shes rolling out the worst poos ever .... :sick: and the little squirt is getting a work out !!
Wogb - BBH hemp - no cover :)
thats all for now i need do some work :(
Well I am slowly building my stash.
Waiting on 4 parcels to arrive, my first fluffy mail.
I have 4 bbh magicals comming, 2 bbh fitted and wool cover, wool capris, wetbags and totsbot cover. All second hand but hey that all I can afford. And hoping on getting more itti bittis next week to.
WORB purple itti bitti, she is asleep hoping it does not leak, been on awhile.
hi ladies :) Just thought I would pop in and say im still about, just busy :P
I posted my stash on FB if you wanted to see ;)
for anyone from Perth, Nurture Nappies is advertising for people to help on their stall at the Perth baby expo next weekend, just check the NN website and email them if you're interested.
Hope you had a great birthday MELBEL!
Maz - i googled "mazalicious breast pads" last night and only got refs to forum posts, not to anywhere that sells your bp's. hmmm. cue twilight music.
wotbb: boring knickers, wish it was MCN!
that's a bit confusing to read Lea, can you clarify for me:
first you say
"the BBH and other covers i have tried are all too big on lil tiny tush"
then you say the opposite
"a small BBH cover is a good fit on DD"
so i'm confused.
A "good"
cover depends on a few things.
what you need it to do (shortwears e.g daytime, or longwears e.g night)
what it needs to go over (prefolds, fitteds or flats)
what crotch width suits your bub (from your post, i'd say narrow)
what rise suits your bub (you need to measure your bub for that)
what closure suits you and your bub (you would need to tell me that)
any aesethetic choices e.g do you need plain colours or want purty prints to show off?
what do you have already, that is working? (e.g you mention the Maz covers fit her well, so i'd keep going with what works also).
lifestyle/family factors - e.g how much time you have in the laundry, out of home alot, home alot, whether you need to aim for easycare (PUL and fleece) or can manage the handwashing/lanolising of pure wool. or a mixture.
there are SO many good covers out there, it's more a matter of working out "what are MY criteria? what do i need them to do?" and narrowing the field from there.
when you first mentioned "tiny tush", straight away, i thought "has she tried any NB sized covers" is the SMALLS are too big? but it depends WHAT nappy is underneath them. e.g a flat nappy is bulky and would need a SMALL cover, more than a NB cover.
so without knowing what your specific needs are (for miss tiny tush), hard to say.
i had a Miss Tiny tush for the first four months, i remember doing lotsa research on tiny covers too! i had a 10x a day runny explosive poop kinda gal, and i'm telling you it came out with AMAZING force, so MY criteria started out being "what looks cute" and QUICKLY changed to "what stops volcanic eruptions style poops and is leakproof 100%", within a very short time of tiny bilby being on this planet.
Those little chicken legs! hard to get "leg seal" without the right sized covers. i had bought ONLY small covers during my nesting time, so of course, we had leg gape galore and it was leak city EVERYWHERE until i bought her newborn sized covers. then the leaks stopped - it was like MAGIC. wot a relief.
Gigi - maybe check my actual store..there are links there :)
MissMoo - nice snatch..i mean stash :ROFL: I cant help it...when ever I see stash I think of snatch.
Lee - I am so lazyyyyyyyyyyyy..i barely use our LS any more :( roll aways are the bomb :)
Sweatpea - thats exactly how I started my stash...second hand and little by little I built it up. WTG hon :dance:
Im miffed :( I put my nappies in the dryer to decrunch after bieng outside..and my only second hand auriel..my turtle one is f'curried :(...the front snap got caught in the dryer lip and from turning round and orund it cut through the fabric and has made the biggest mess....I could cry but as Jed said thank god it was that one and not one that we paid full price for.
WOMB - raw hide...yea ha~~~~~~~ and can someone please tell Mateauz that nappy free time does not mean scrotum in hands time :rolleye:
gigi I read that as BBH being the nappy not the cover :) I could be wrong though.

AFM - i'm feeling rather happy today - a friend found out yesterday she's going to be a grandma early next year - her first question to me was "so, when you bringing some nappies over so we can convince the kids to go cloth?" i was so happy! i've never really mentioned MCN's to her so i'm assuming between the photos on FB and the comments on the funky cover at E's baptism, she's converted herself. she was looking at some on Ebay last night but I asked her not to buy til she'd checked with me cos she might end up with dud's. the ones she was looking at were pretty uninspiring (bushpig nappies or something - the name put me off!) - so i said we'd look at them together - and i have to go visit when her son's GF is there so we can talk to her and show some nappies off. i'm impressed!
E is mostly in flats and covers at the moment unless we go out somewhere - i just figure for a few more days after her rotavirus vac, we're better using work horse nappies that i can wash and dry in a hurry
