Thanks Lea. So have I ruined them then?? :doh::
Just thought i'd add my 2 bobs worth...XD:
I use Ecostore because I get itchy from normal washing powder and it's devine. It has a really soft light smell and the clothes smell so yummy when you hang them out to dry.
Good to know you can use it for MCN's! Now I don't have to track down something else!
Just on a completely different topic... does anyone use the GAIA baby moisturisers and stuff? I noticed my supermarket sells it and I was quite surprised!
ren - we get that colour when we have needed panadol :) stains fade eventually, nothing to worry about
i think i had about one good half hour of solid sleep last night, not that laa wakes up but wriggling and crying in her sleep - those teeth better come through soon! Too nice a day to be sitting around here.....................

Teagz, I use the GAIA products....the baby shampoo and the moisturiser. They smell devine. I really like them, so does bub. Must pick up some of the bath wash too.
They do, I sniffed the moisturiser and thought I might grab some to use for myself haha. I might grab some anyway ;):
Just a query re washing - Blake's had his 2 month vaccinations this morning. How should I be washing his nappies? He had the rotovirus vaccine. The nurse said it could take up to 3 weeks for it to finish entering his nappies. I'm not going to do disposables for that long (haven't put him in one yet since having his vaccs). My hot water service only goes to 50 deg. Is this likely to be hot enough to wash it out safely? I don't fancy hiking down to the laundromat every couple of days to wash nappies at 60deg.

Liz, i don't know anyone, for whom vaccinations, have caused nappies to be different. bilby had the rotavirus vax too (JUST before it became free!) and no-one said anything to me, so i kept her in mcn, didn't notice any diff. But in last year, i have noticed, every so often, there will be a thread in the nappy section of various parenting forums, re "should i put my child in sposies for X time after rota virus"? and heaps of people reply, and the overwhelming number of responses say "no, we didn't and it was fine". Pity i can't remember any of the scientific reasons, all my memory recalls is, was the general gist. So don't worry hon.
Teagz - Woollies and Coles stock Gaia, Coles stocks Avado, and they all stock Ecostore too (for baby products like moisturiser, shampoo, bath calmer stuff etc). They are the three brands i notice, in supermarkets, that look safe for kids in the ingredients list. So many other things SAY they're organic, or "safe for newborn skin", but it's all marketing hype, cos when you read their list of ingredients, it makes a mockery of "organic", "safe for nb skin" etc.
i'm using Moo Goo Milk Wash on bilby for washing her skin, which is also very mild. For the first 12 months, i didn't use any of those products, as my midwife said "just water" was fine for a young bub's skin.
Finding a sunscreen i could use on bilby was a challenge, she rashed up to supermarket and chemist ones that claimed to be "for sensitive skins", "suitable for babies" etc, and now i hunt down the organic ones that are paraben free. Parabens (a very cheap preservative that causes skin irritation in some people) are in SO many products! it's astounding! my skin and her skin has improved so much, since i junked everything in our bathroom (and my makeup drawer) that had parabens in it.

So who is doing the Nappy Hunt? i'm been so busy today, havne't even started yet.
Shanti - lots of people report teh nappy fabrics staining grey after panadol use, something to do with the artifical sweetener in the medicine??? help me out, those of you with better memories. It didn't happen with our nappies, and we used heaps of baby panadol at first, but i did Little Squirt the nappies and do a daily wash in 60 degrees hot water (spot the OCD person here ha ha).
loads of people report being able to "sun out" the panadol stains, so i hope that works for you too. So don't give up hope, you might be able to get those stains out after all. (i could just imagine your sad face, when you typed "have i ruined them!!! - awwww).
KITTEN - hope you get more sleep tonight!
i just used a bbh bamboo with a maz cover last night and it worked yay and he slept 11 hours im so excited lol
thanks for the advice re the vaccs Gigi. I thought that was the case but couldn't remember exactly. I did remember seeing something about them in previous threads but couldn't find them when I did a search.
(Doing the nappy hunt so far so good but some take far too long to work out / find when I'm really tired.)
I'm doing the nappy hunt as well. Found 5 last night but having trouble with the extreme ones. DH was trying to help but he had an op yesterday so he wasnt particularly helpful! A good thing that came out of his operation is that we had to drive to the city for the surgery, and it was only 10 mins from there to one of the only shops in adelaide that sell MCN so I got to rub a lot of fluff! I couldn't help myself and got a pink starbunz puppy dog cover - with tail! I can't wait to see grace crawling around in it.
Waiting on fluffy mail today yay, I think it is waiting at the PO for me, otherwise DH is home all day and can wait for the postie. Just did my first strip wash, I accidentally put too much liquid in the wash this morning :doh: and thought, well why not just then do a strip wash? At least we have some sun today and they will dry quicker!
