RAYRAY
take a deep breath, you're doing great
Covers
How often to wash them
you go to change bubs
if it's a wet nappy, air the PUL cover and put on a fresh PUL cover for the new nappy.
NEXT nappy change, use cover 1 again. so you're just ALTERNATING
same for FLEECE covers.
only wash if - it was a pooey nappy change, and poop has gotten on the cover
or
the cover has been used a few times and is on the nose whiffy like
for WOOL soakers/shorties/longies
only wash if poop escapes the nappy and gets on teh inner of the woolly.
air out the woolly and alternate with another cover (inbetween wears).
but you can go for a MONTH without washing a woolly soaker, if no poop gets on the woolly. When the woolly starts getting on the nose whiffy like, THEN it's time to
HANDWASH and LANOLISE the woolly.
so the key principle is
ALTERNATE
don't keep using the same cover for every nappy change
if you see poo - time for a wash.
if your nose tells you "ewww", - time for a wash
(this is for ALL covers)
hth Ray Ray.
LECKERT - the first week i was breastfeeding my new bub, i had foolishly bought only SMALL covers (no newborn sized ones), thinking i was saving money and beign sensible. EVERY feed in the first week, with massive leg gape that i was unaware of, i got leaks of ALL descriptions, allover ME, the SOFA, i was changing clothes MANY times per day, the breastfeeding pillows, you name it. it was not pretty.
some nice patient online MCN people put me straight, i hurriedly bought some NEWBORN sized covers and the hour i started using those - NO MORE LEAKS (gapeage disappeared). bliss! With post c-section complications (e.g i could not bend, or walk without holding onto the wall), i cannot tell you how impressed i was with having correct sized covers. My ideas about "saving money" were re-assessed with the opportunity cost of scrubbing poo multiple times per day (i had a child who was pooping minimum ten times a day, more than that in first week).
i remember changing her BEFORE the feed, and then hearing splurty noises DURING The feed, so another change AFTER the feed. she fed every two hours like a clock. So i'm not exaggerating to say she was changed like 20x a day in the first phase. (hmm now i'm thinking 20 nappies a day, if i had been using sposies, that would have meant buying 140 sposies per week!!). Looking back, those newborn covers weren't so expensive after all. ANd i kept using the bamboo trifolds until she tt-d.
wotbb: said child is now 2.5 and toilet trained (sigh), right now, sleeping in blueberry trainers and longies.
sas - yay! you wont be dissapointed, gf's are fantastic. laa is still in the mediums and i think she will get quite a while out of them (has been in them well before 7kg, prob about 6?). LAst check a few weeks ago se was 8kg, but i really think in the last week she has put on at least half a kilo, she is eating so much! I have some larges too - and she COULD wear them now, they would just be a bit bulky, but no leg gape.
rayray - yay on the win!!!!! :dance::dance: i think they are the mocrofibre ones, havent seen them but i do love the originals.
gigi - i understnad the multiple poo thing, laa has only recently calmed down on her bppos, there were 6-12 a day for a LONG time. Now I am using half the mcn that i was before (which is easier, but they are not getting the work out that they used to!)
leckert - lol i dont know hun, but they also know to start crying when mum and dad wanna get kinky. babies are the best contraception i tell ya!!
lea - not sure about them being to small hun. i keep debating to keep/sell my ittis. they fit great one week then the next they are really bad. i guess they are an in between nappy
as for us, i have noticed that some weeks laa can only wear side snappers, then the next week the itti's/abby gros are a better fit, its really amazing how she can change. I think it depends on the chub on her belly!
i am waiting on wrap fluff - a didy ring sling and a girasol wrap.... COME POSTIE!! (you know the stuff you are so excited about that you dont wanna jump in shower just incase he comes??!!)
WOHB - embroidered sea horse widdlewun. LOVE widdlewuns
Ray that is awesome!!! I love winning things! I was soooo over the moon when I won the CK VHC tee from Lesleys blog :)
Kitten hopefully the postie comes soon! I am waiting for some WC fluff, some second hand WC fluff, and 13 pairs of babylegs lol
Congrats Ray!!!
Anyone want a daytime TTed 3 year old? I have one to give away - to anyone!!! She is driving me bonkers!! If the misbehaviour keeps going I might have to refuse to give her dinner!!
If only we didn't have big debts... My tax notice of assesment has just arrived, and the topups for FTB are on my centrelink log in. I want to replace my dying washing machine and buy more smaller nappies for Leah.
Oh, I just remembered I have to go to the post office and pick up 2 parcels. Best be off.

ali - i can offer my almost 3yr old to a good home as well ... he now knows how to unlock the front door and escape out side ... i couldnt find him for about 10 yesterday and he came from some hwere out side ... gave me a huge fright , i had nightmares about it last night ... all i could see was this open door . and it was darkness outside and i kept calling nixons name ... scary !!! grr i hate debts too .. unfortuneatley we just bought a business , and DH has took it upon him self to spend $3500 on tools !!!! hes been spending so much on himself "for the business" but in reality i reckon the business is just an excuse to buy them as i know he wanted them to use at home , so in my mind ... there really just for him :lol: i chucked a wobbly at him and wanted to know where my $3500 of clothes shoes and nappies were ... i felt a bit left out :(
anyway ... im looking forward to the swap ... i can wait to see what we all will get !
im out of down loads (thanks DH ... bloddy torrent pond :rolleyes:) so BB is really really slow and i cant even load FB so i might have to use the iphone to go one there ...
I did a stripwash in the FL yesterday .. it took 3 hrs and 52 mins ! i had a huuuge back log of washing and the whole morning was spent on the strip wash , but they came out nice and fresh so i hope its taken away the funky smell DS leaves in the night nappys :sick:
awaiting on fluff today , lets hope it arrives :)
I am so not looking forward to having to strip wash. Lucky we haven't had to do it yet :)
No fluffy news here. oh yeah I brought some new nappies. Whizz Kidz fitteds, We have 7 now, love them :) The NN are awesome.
Hmm what else... hopefully I hear back from Nikki soon about my customs, pay for them next week, then they will arrive and I can roll around in the softness for a while.
That's all :)
WOHB: Whizz Kidz fitted, woolybottoms pants and longies over the top... it's chilly here today!
Hi I thought I would come in here for a bit.
My friend lent me 9 nappis to trial for a bit to see if I like cloth as dd was leaking out of huggies all the time.
She has leant me 4 small itti bitti's, 2 magicals (don't like them as much), 1 small swadlbee, 2 bbb and cover for night use.
So far been one day and seems to be working. Now to convince dh and figure out how many I will need, thinking of just itti bittis in a medium should do hopefully till she toilet trains. and then a few night nappis.
WORB= blue swadlbee
welcome sweetpea :) I have a 10 month old in large ittis so mediums might not fit till TT ;)
Have you tried the minky magicalls? I love them! The rise is much better and now they make them in a osfm (multifits). Lea (*charmalea* a couple of posts up) on here sells them and can do you a good deal ;)
No fluffy came today :( Sniff... but I did write a list of what I am expecting!
Soaps
2 WC -second hand
Tikki Longies (getting made atm)
Longies and matching beanie
600g of gorgeous Yarn Collective wool (drooool)
2 Whizz Kidz fitteds
13 pairs of babylegs from IBF
1 WC mushie fitted and 2kg tri nature from Wild Child
2 ag's - second hand
3 pairs of HL
2 twinkle lily
VBSN - front snapping
baby soft wraps SS nappy
Can't wait for the fluff to begin rolling in :)
Also am currently getting some shimmer nappies from Sarah (bizy bee) made up, can't wait to get them!
Leah wore the MAL NN last night. it was pretty soaked when I took it off this morning. little miss pi$$y pants. Her butt was bigger than my head too!!
Em has been stripping in her cot too, so that has been wet a few times. Very frustrating.
Sweetpea - sounds like she might be best suited to narrow crotches. Gigi is the expert on narrow nappies.
Mel - WOW!!! Thats a lot of fluff!!
Sarah still wants to be given away. she drew on the walls this arvo :wall:
WOLB: Booroi prefold with ME rikki cover
WOEB: nada, running around the back yard.
Missymoo84, my dd has been in the smalls with space and not out weeting them today, she is 12 months old and only 7.5 kilos. Hence why I am hoping that medium will fit her till she is about 2, my kids a skinny minnies.
Yeah I have got two minkie magicals to try and they are quiet wide on her, they fit but not as trim.
Besides buyforbaby is there anywhere else for second hand nappies, as dh wont fork out for new.
Mel - that's a truckload of fluffy goods.
Ali - for some reason I went to type Leah instead of Ali. Hmm. lol I can imagine Leahs huge NN bum though, so cute!! As for the naughty little one, is she playing up because there are no visitors around now and getting a little bored? I was going to take DS to maze mania or Lollipops soon if you wanted to bring the girls to run out their energy?
Someone had a 12month old in a size small itti? My gosh she must be tiny! Those things are so small.
Aww I want a tiny bum to put fluff on. On that front, not good news. My mum (at almost 50) was just diagnosed with Endo. I have to go to my dr in a few days - most likely the cause of no baby yet. :( :( :( Can I cry now? Too late.
oh wow!! She is tiny :) Well Ash is 11kg at 10 months lol he was 5kg born though so I knew he would be a big boy :)
Buyforbaby, nappy Chic, nappycino and nappy addicts.
Stay away from ebay and those sites, most of the time it's stab and miss as to quality.
Hi Sweetpea. You could try nappy chic for 2nd hand.
Ordered 2 ecobubs another pop in (not the new type) and a something else side snapping (cant remember name) from a certain C bumz site. 25% off yay.
am going back to get some baby legs.
Soooo, am waiting on those 4
2 pocket nappies from the cloth nappy shop
2 spunky butts
soaps
and an auriel.
Yay for the postie....
:hug: CM
