co-ordinating nappies with clothing?

Yes, you'll get alot of "sympathetic nodding" when you mention that one! we know it well.

by the time i was fully in the swing, of going out with bilby, i had a stock standard six "going out" nappies, that were always reserved for the nappy bag, so they were always available. all six nappies were in plain shades of minky, to match the colours of the clothes she was often in. So if i dressed her in blue/purple colours for an outing, i made sure i had say 3 nappies that would look right with blue/purple, in the going out nappy bag. I looked a wreck, but bilby looked great.

i think the first part (nb stage), she was in prefolds and covers, with a muslin baby wrap covering her up anyhoo, so it didn't really count then. it's more when she was crawling and toddling around, that i paid more attention to the matching, as it was on show then.

i also had my stash of "easy to get jeans over these" type going out nappies. The PUL ones. slippery enough to get clothes on over very quickly.

then we went thru her "fitteds and woollies" stage, when it all came down to "what matches her longies?".

some people swear by matching babylegs (a pair for every nappy)

(i could mention the "matching wetbag" addiction, but you may pass out, so i'll save that for another day. I didn't get that addiction myself, but i have noticed it happens.)

(i may have had the 'matching breastpads' addiction, if only Mazalicious breastpads were around when i was using bps. i had them, but they weren't as groovy looking as the ones you can get now.)

another cheapie nappy sale right now is the Mandy Mac bamboo nappies, owner is moving house so they are going out very cheaply right now. at the MM site.

plus Daddledoo nappies are on sale all of October, due to Ms Daddledoo giving birth in the near future. (she sells pocket trainers too, brigsy, that was for you).

there was something useful on sale at Happy Babes the other day too, now i've gone blank.

reminder for all newcomers
Cushie Tushies
different brand to
Cute Tooshies
tis easy to get their names mixed up

cushie tushies make the CT basix, the CT couture (aio's). they specialise in front snappers and do the "turn and topstitch" sewing method, so no leg frills. they do not make fitted nappies (the ones that need a cover).

cute tooshies make the CT OSFA fitteds that need a cover e.g the bamboo delight and the CT OSFA minky ai2's. they specialise in side snappers. and leg frills elastic (you turn it IN for the nb stage). the way the leg elastic is done, makes the crotch narrower than many other brands.

MAZ: i wonder what has changed for Vy? is she drinking more before bed than usual? the long booster in teh nappy knickers looks pretty absorbent, i'm amazed she's outweeing that. but i suppose an entire night is a long time. i havne't had to change bilbs over night for so long, getting a bit spoilt here. Lucky really, she sleeps in MY bed from 2am onwards (and i'm too stupid to put a brollysheet in MY bed), so if she DID wet, my bed would be wrecked, not hers (which is well protected by a brollysheet). My commonsense is very unbalanced obviously.

i thought the wetting overnight would return, cos bilby has had rotten cold/cough for last week, but it just struck me, "sick but still night trained", maybe i really can sell off our night nappies now. i've been kieeping them "JIC" she regresses. WHEN do you let them go?
