Hi to all
2 lots of fluff arrived in mail yesterday....magicalls from BBH and some more ittis after i picked up a few on clearance. I got the moo cow print, very cute.
Verdict on the magicalls not so good for my skinny minnie. The minky ones, well the crotch is waaaay to wide for DS and leg gape issues, even on the small so no good here. The smooth ones though are better, so i'm hopeful they'll be ok.
Anyone using BBH bamboo OSFA fitted? What covers have you used with the most success?
Poo weather here again in Adelaide so things taking yonks to dry. baaaaaaaah.

Ummm... I'll have to have a think. Green Kids are pretty cheap as pockets go, they just don't have the inserts with the price, but you can make your own if you are so inclined!!!
Have you looked at secondhand ones? There are always people selling their OSFM pockets and stuff..... other than that, the cushies and pop ins are pretty expensive unless you get them on sale.
Or you could look around for brands that have a HUGE range of them in their mediums - for example, widdlewuns go from 7kg - 15kg for their mediums - both of my kids fit in the mediums. The rise is starting to get a little low for DS in the mediums, but he is getting close to 3 and I've used them on him since he was 14 months, so I've had a pretty good run. Now DD is 14 months and they can be passed on to her

My fav covers are mother-ease rikki and maz covers. Any other cover and I get leaks - they just don't fit properly on my kids (they have the skinny minny gene I'm afraid!!!)

Hi girls!
I got fluffy mail today which has so brightened my week since it has been so shiat!! Might post about it later. And thank goodness for 2 beautiful BB girls who cheered me up today. So fluffy mail...I got 2 mini lalas. to go with my other 2. yep I know they don't last as long but they are so devine. and I love the hair clips she sells to so got a set for Emily. I jsut wished she would keep them in her hair!
paid for my ittis today so they should be here next week. I was tricky and am having those sent to work!! DH didn't notice the min lalas which was good.
Lea I hope DS bowel issues get better. Grr for Docs not helping!
J with J are u near Melbourne? Cause there is a baby expo down there in the next weekend or so and often the MCN sellers have awesome specials. At the sydney baby show a few weeks ago Cushie Tushies were selling their's for $28 instead of $35 and even cheaper for their basix range which now comes with a snap in booster instead of sewn in.
Hugs Maz.

Hi guys.
I've been lurking around this thread for a while - hope you guys don't mind me joining in.
I've only recently been converted to MCNs and have a little stash consisting mostly of Pop ins and a handful of other brands. (Gk, BumG, CT, GF, Widdlewuns.) Need to expand heaps before I have my little one.
Sadly no one I know uses MCNs and even though I've tried to share the love, so to speak, I get the 'are you crazy' looks.
So I was hoping I could join you guys to revel in the awesome that is. (My DH still thinks I'm weird. :s )

Utterly agree. It is an addiction. I'm only up to 9 because new to MCN and getting a new house that needs furniture soon so a lil low on budget but I sneak extra orders inTam - it is awesome - totally - and we understand

Welcome to MCN thread!
Has anyone tried out the new baby beehinds multi fit? Are they like the Magicalls?
WOHB: red itti bitti
BellyBelly Life Member - Love all your MCN friends
charmlea - do you mean a Starbunz nappy or a Starbunz trainer?
i bought a Starbunz trainer to try on bilby, fitted her really well, but her skin couldn't cope with the synthetic inner. (i had to find trainers that had natural fibre fabric for the inner instead). Silly me for not reading the product specs closely enough before buying. i got swept away in the buying of them.
arimeh - if only i knew you were after KK AIO's! i have had two sitting in a cupboard for months now, only sold them two days ago. Congrats on the DM's (dragonflymagiks), they were one of our faves (i was lucky enough to score two). Come to think of it, i still have a DFM night nappy in the cupboard, i'm finding it hard to part with the mcn bilby doesn't need anymore and hasn't worn for months. it's like parting with "old faithfuls!". the good nappies that never leaked, that fitted her so well, etc etc. i feel a loyalty to them as crazy as that sounds. After i read of the mums who wash bedlinen EVERY morning, deal with horrible leaks all the time, so they see that as normal. i never had to do that, and i think it's because the mcn worked so well (once i worked out how to use them, in teh beginning, do them up right, buy the right ones for bilby's shape etc.) i had my own learning curve to go on. thank good ness for the patient mums who taught me, on nappycino, ozclothnappies and here at bellybelly, on this very thread. They were my University of Fluff Lecturers!!! and i was the sleep deprived, very new first time mum who kept forgetting everything.
fluff a holic - i hear you on the Fluffybubs, they migth be front snappers, but i think because they have a double row on the tummy and it's slanted, not straight, i think that's why they work. My friend has a bub who suits sidesnappers too, but the Fluffybubs (and the Kester Kovers too) are the front snapping exceptions, for the reasons i've mentioned. Clever design. It's the single row of snaps, like on the ittis that were not a good fit on bilbs either. but if it was an itti bitti FITTED nappy (the itti bitti boo), and had a sidesnapper cover over it, THEN it worked for bilby. Just not the aio style.
MAZ - Every time i visit my friend ( who switched to MCN when her bub was six months old ), i fold up all her drying nappy stash. SHe knows it makes me feel better, just to prep her DD's mcn. it's like a puzzle, matching all the bits to each other. it's my challenge, to get them all together correctly, WITHOUT having to ask my friend "does this insert go in this nappy"? and i get to think about MCN, and yes, i even pat the minky!!!
LOLLYBABY - pockets and all in twos have really good drying time.
with the mention of the Cushie Tushies, usually we have two members in this thread, who are CT reps, so they're great to ask questions. i've noticed that many people who use the Cushie Tushies love the Couture ones, but are not so keen on the Basix. The Couture ones have more absorbency layers (that's the diff btwn them). SOmetimes you get what you pay for. bamboo is an expensive fabric. so if one nappy contains MORE layers of bamboo, it has to cost more.
and just to confuse the newbies, there are CUSHIE TUSHIES, HAPPY TUSHIES and KUSHIES and CUTE TOOSHIES (all different nappy brands). LOL (there are other similar ones that i can't think of right now too).
welcome KARMARINE, yes, you are in the right place, we WILL understand and listen to your mcn rants, no problemo.
RHYB - i thought the multifit was an OSFM and the Magicalls were a SIZED nappy.
that's the main diff i can think of.

my lil one seems to have issues dealing with the bulkiness of magicalls and the crotch seems to be very wide. She's just started rolling and gets frustrated if i put a bbh magicall on her, gives her "frogs legs".

Bimboo, where abouts on the hinterland are you? Gets cold here in winter brrr.
For anyone buying cushie tooshies, I wouldnt plan on being able to use them from birth. I had a med/large bubs and they didnt even go close to fitting till 8-10wks (and he is not an explosive pooper)
Rhyb, my cousin bought V1 and V2 pop ins and she likes the V1 better, they are bamboo and i think V2 are microfleece. I have also noticed that when the V2 first came out, all of the V1 went on sale. Now, however, the only on sale ones I have seen are V2 and the V1 are selling for $36 again. I am spitting blood that I didnt get more V1 as they were on sale for like $28 at lots of places. But yes, V2 are larger and I have found that I get a little dampness on the inner gusset if the V1 when worn for a longtime (so much so, that it will go through his clothes) I think the different fabric on the V2 was meant to eliminate this. But I am yet to see a V2 IRL.....I am hoping that when a certain clothie bumz comes back up to full speed, they will have one of thier Kick Ass sales and I will try one - or 3. Hint hint....
Just bought some Babyhosen, did I make a good decision??
WOLB,BBB, sans cover....
