UMMAHHH, BG, you bin out for a spot of retail therapy?
I thought you were on a ban?
Registered User
well, yeah i'm on a ban - but i knew about Maz' breast cancer fundraising thing and had budgeted part of baby bonus for it this week - high chair and BC stuff. it's not JUST that it's purddy (cos it's definitely that) - I am very very close to one of my Aunt's who has recently gone through the fight with breast cancer. she is, as far as i know, in remission now - but it's made it very personal for me - so buying this stuff was important to me... and i know my Aunt will love the pics (she's only been able to see miss E once as she lives in QLD now)

Though I might make an appearence back in here since I am soon to have a newborn in cloth for the first time (Matilda had to wear yucky sposies in hospital for the first 3 months), I think that I am ready, I have heaps of fitted and some covers thanks to Ange, some small ittis for when she is big enough and the lovely Maz is making some prefolds and covers, I can't wait! Then she can move on to Matildas stash once she is a little bigger.
Just recieved some large itti bitti seconds (Matilda was doing a good job at missing the nappy and weeing down her let), I forgot how soft and fluffy they were brand new! mine are in great condition to.
Anyway, I am sure I will be back, especially once Annabelle arrives for tips on newborn cloth.
Oh and congrats BG on winning the auction, it is such a beautiful set!
Registered User
Oh, well, I guess thats ok then.
Sorry to hear about your aunt, maybe you and Mr BG and Lil E can come to Qld to visit her and - YAY- visit me too!!!
I have had to put fluff in the drier for the first time in months. Cause YEAH YEAH, we got rain. Not much, but enough to make the grass go green again.
Its wonderful to live in sunny QLD, but by mid october we are all begging for the wet to come back.
WOLB, 3rd sposie for the nightFirst one, he crapped in
Second one, I pick him up to put him in his sleeping bag to find his back all wet and crap on his suit. Grrrr, Adam didnt pull his suit out from under him when cleaning crappy bum AND then forgot to point "IT" down

Good to see you in here DD! How exciting not too much longer for you to go. I got some of the large ittis too they were a good bargain!
Yay BG for winning the Maz set. It was a bit small for me to even bid this time.
Well last night I went through our stash and I have over 70! (I know that's proably small potatoes to some on here) Good thing was I found I have some to go to a new home if someone knows of anyone and some to sell. Heaven help me if the next baby is a boy!!!

we were planning a trip for early next year before the weather turned too sour (and i have to go back to work) - but it's all fallen in a heap with DH losing his job. my Aunt came down for E's baptism, and will be back for her son's 40th early Dec - so miss E is FORBIDDEN to grow out of smalls before then! lol want to show up in the cover, singlet, bib - with her little blankie - just for my Aunt.
DH is sitting on the floor with E at the moment and she's trying to go again - poor poppet! we've done some tummy massage and cycling her little legs - lots of extra gas - nothing more. sigh. tomorrow while daddy is at work, if she hasn't been already, we're going to do a loooooong bath then massage - maybe a couple of times. she hasn't had a bath at all for a couple of weeks cos she prefers to shower with Daddy (weird kid!), so we throw her in there all the time - glad she likes showers cos it's heaps easier for me too
WOEB - cream itti. we've run out of ittis now - not sure what else has that fit on her still - damn her being in between sizes! told DH earlier i was going to put something with leg gape galore on her - he asked why - and i told him it was a guaranteed way to induce a poospolsion lol
Registered User
I'd say definitely put her in the bath BG - whenever Miss M hasn't pooped for a while - as soon as I put her in the bath she lets go.. which isn't very nice for Aricyn if he is sharing with her.. he gets a bit hysterical.. hehehehe
Um no nappy news. Got my DM's on Friday - noice noice. Looooove them. Such a good fit on both kids.
G'day to all

BG what we used for DD was the Brauers stomach calm. Awesome homeopathic stuff from the chemsit. It works for an upset tummy or constipation. Its awful when they in pan.
ETA A bath is a good idea too!
Registered User
Shell - thanksfor the tips! we bought a vaporizer lastr time and yes is great! will try the icks on feet trick. had just put some on her chest!
Registered User
That's part of my logic too. DP was complaining how much effort MCN are (riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight)
Then he was complaining how much each costs
He didn't complain when he saw we were $60 more ahead then usual in the bank account this month despite my fluffy buying sessions
Oooo yeah and it's better for the environment, you can colour coordinate and they look uber cute.
No fluffy mail on friday like i hoped as was 34 degrees and DRY. nappies and inserts dried in 3 hours! back down to 20s this week so I have to wait longer to try out her new fluff after prewashing
Registered User
yay to have time to be back here! (Had a lot of uni work to get done - assignment due that I almost forgot - ooppps and had to make DS's baptism gown - had to make myself not check BB all the time)
waiting on fluffy mail - 6 itti delishes and I think 2 reg. ittis that have been posted just waiting to get here
WOBB - a yellow (I think) itti delish (he's asleep in a sleeping bag so I ain't checking.
Registered User
OMG - the horror! the pure unadulterated HORROR!
massage seems to have done the trick (though from all the noise and straining from little lady fluffaguts today, i think it was gonna happen one way or the other...)
WOEB - nuffin! she's laying on the floor, kicking aroud and enjoying her freedom. daddy seems to think now that the drought has been broken that he's safe from any mess - how little does he know lol
Registered User
LOL! I have a silent pooing baby but I know her look and cry when she's done. stopped checking her bum when she smells because usually only farts making the smell and she lets me know the SECOND she's finished a poo with distinct cry. DP being a sweety this morning offered first nappy change and promptly went off to do so and here i was lying in bed waiting for the reaction about him opening up a nappy with 3 days poo in it. didn't i giggle. a mum knows when NOT to offer a nappy change if her partner volunteers first!
WOCB: BBH hot pink smooth nappy and she's NOT HAPPY. she hates them because she has problems rolling in them!
BellyBelly Life Member - Love all your MCN friends
BRIGSY - i'm sorry to hear your DH lost his job, that's awful.
Next time Emerald is blocked up, have you ever tried GRIPE WATER on her? you can get the brand WITH tiny percent of alcohol (bilby hated that one) and the one with zero alcohol (that was the one we kept buying), and truly, one dose of that (syringe it in, bilby licked the syringe like it tasted nice LOL), and gurgle gurgle gurgle stomach, then 2 mins later - poop happened.
i saw the gripe water for sale at chemists and woollies. but we only bought the one with the tiny percent alcohol once, bilby screwed up her face in disgust at the taste of that one.
the only reason bilby and i were able to co-sleep, was that her dad slept on the couch. we co-slept for the first year. Now she comes into my bed around 2am each night and co-sleeps until breaksfast.
Maz, i have been hearing about the nappy making workshops in Perth, Melb and Brissy for the last three years, and i always feel a touch envious too. would loved to have gone to one. Me with my cupboard of mcn making fabrics that don't get used! by the time i get my confidence up, i'm sure bilby will be old enough to vote ha ha.
JJ - how lovely of your mum to go to the nappy expo for you, did you send her with a "shopping list" or did she pick what she bought, off her own bat?
welcome DAINTREE DREAM. i envy the stage you're at (nesting for a nb).

Hi all, just thought I'd stick my head in here. DS is part time cloth and am planning on going full time soon especially when number 2 arrives. So far my stash includes some magicalls, BBB's with covers, a greenkids, a bambineo (?) and a couple of peapods which are my least fave out of what I have. I've also orderd a couple more from Arimeh's closing down sale the other day, so looking forward to getting my first lot of fluffy mail in a long time.
