PMSL.... Aricyn keeps on saying its a girl too ;)
I'm getting very impatient!!!!! There probably won't be much between my bub and your girls - just cos triplets don't really go full term.. and they'll be smaller than my big boofa so I'm sure they will still fit even if I DO have a girl ;)
Awww I forget Aricyn is old enough to understand the baby concept. Aiden just beats my belly when the girls kick :lol: He must think I ate a very violent lunch :rofl:
Yeah the girls will be tiny its surreal when I look at the baby clothes I have for them.
Oopp Nappy related I bought 4 hautes last night for $84 and paid for my multifits :)
I just discovered what wing droop really means. You guys have mentioned it, but I just saw it!
How do you guys manage to fit enough cloth for two in a nappy bag, I barely have enough room for one in my nappy bag. And I don't think its that small :(
It just seems like all the ones I look at are made for the super thin sposie stacks. The pocket that held like four sposies only holds one cloth.
What do you guys do?
Kamarine - if its a short trip, I usually take one nappy for both kids - an OSFM, so no matter who pees or poops the most, its going to fit them. It was awesome when I was using ittis, cos they both fit into a medium for ages, and took up hardly any room. If I know I'm going out for longer, I'll just put some in another bag and put it in the car, or down the bottom of the pram, so its not taking up room in the baby bag.
more nappies coming my way another one from the casey expo my mum won a door prize lol and i just got a popin off ebay and a rainforest ME cover :dance: thats 6 all together plus a cover woo hoo :crossfingers: full time in cloth if the rain lifts lol
oh and if i win anything from the nappy hunt
WOJB: custom embroidered spunky butts aio
we've overnighted with cloth for a week with great success! anais wears rocky mountain pockets and drybee's aio pocket hybrids with hemp inserts. they work GREAT. i love the rocky mountains because you can adjust the leg gussets to fit your bub :D they're super soft and come in adorable colours ^__^
just ordered unbleached indian premiums with nappy covers for full-time cloth :D i am IN LOVE. the dh is enjoying my prattling about it all too, lol, so yaaaay!:leap:
waiting for fluffy mail from Helen still! hopiung it'll arrive tomorrow! silly aus post...more than 2 days from country nsw to country vic!
had our first ever leak yesterday, DD was in a Giraffe Cushie Tushie yest for 4 hours (she fell asleep so was in it a big longer than planned). I had one of the boosters in but she still wet through. Im guessing it may just need more prewashes? or only wear it for 2 hours or something!
had a leak in our spunky butts :( maybe he is a heavy wetter
WOJB: camo honey boy
6-10 days from MELBOURNE to Kalgoorlie. 8 days from Qld to kal. It only take 32 hours to DRIVE from Melb to Kal too and i'm not counting the day i post item either.:
I have a heavy wetting baby and the only time she's outweed a ct couture was when i thought i could chance a full wear after 3 pre washes so maybe that might be the issue.
Friend that borrowed a couple of MCNs just ordered 10 so i have seriously convedrted her.
4 hours is about the max I get out of CT so it might be that it is just how long it lasts.
Kamarine I am yet to find the perfect nappy bag to fit all my stuff in! Dh has his own and his is fine but I can't seem to organise mine the same way! I usually jsut squash 2 in there somewhere.
In general, i would expect a cloth nappy to be on a child up to two hours. The one area of MCN that can be worn longer, are the night nappies. They have double (at least) of the absorbent layers and the wool covers/soakers/longies absorb liquid too, so even when the nappy itslef if 100% saturated, the wool cover keep absorbing. But not many people put night nappies, or night fitteds and wool covers on bubs during the day. I used a night nappy for plane travel with a child in mcn, that worked great.
Disposables you can leave on longer than two hours, due to the blue chemical things that are superabsorbent. But cloth gets to 100% saturation point quicker. Changing more often also helps keep nappy rash at bay.
i think about it from the baby's point of view. If i were that baby and i had wet/soiled myself, would i like to be left sitting in that? I've seen some awful cases of nappy rash, and had childcare workers tell me horror stories of children being left in the same nappy for 12 hours and sent back to CC the next morning still in the same nappy they left CC in the night before. i think alot of nappy rash can be prevented.
Can you tell i am quite passionate about nappy rash?
My own DD having it really really bad at 14 months (the one and only time she did) also made me read about it alot, when i was trying to fix hers.
i can't even remember what got me on this track now, god i'm so tired. NR is something i feel i can never speak about in real life (it's a taboo topic), so i guess i get it off my chest in this forum. (safe venue).
But the timing is arbitrary anyhoo. There will always be time when you're caught in traffic, or your day just turns out differently than you expected. But when at home, and all things going well, i changed bilby whenever she needed it, not according to how many minutes/hours she had had the nappy on for. I would rather wash another nappy, than risk her getting nappy rash. Probably spoken like a mum of one (which i am). Probably making all the mums of 3,4,more get a serious case of the rolling eyes.
Kamarine - nappy bags
i totally agree, the majority of nappy bags are designed to fit a few slim disposables in them, and no room for a wetbag with used nappies in it. it's all done on the assumption that you throw the nappy away.
i shopped for a nappy bag, by taking all i wanted to put into a nappy bag WITH me, when i went to the shops that sold nappy bags. i would get the bags i was most interested in, sit on the shopfloor and test each one out to see if it fitted what I needed it to fit.
i ended up getting a "bowling bag" style nappy bag, quite a few separate compartments. but that was for ONE child.
another thing i did was to have a 2nd daggy nappy bag in the car, that lived IN the car. so if i went anywhere and run out of nappies in my nappy bag that went everywhere with me, i could go out to the car to get more clean nappies. The 2nd nappy bag in the car was also my backup if i lost my nappy bag, we got stranded due to car breakdown etc. On two ocassions it really saved my bacon.
Never heard of Rocky Mountain nappies, i'm curious now. Googled it, the only url i got was for a UK nappy shop that sells them. They look like either Fuzzibunz or Rumperooz, i forget which, the ones that have the adjustable elastic in the legs (clever idea). I expected US sites to come up, with a name like Rocky Mountain nappies. maybe if i had googled "rocky mountain DIAPERS" instead of googling "Rocky Mountain nappies", i would have gotten a bigger response.
Rhyb, wow, three little girls! are you going to dress them identical or not? that's the first thing that came into my head LOL. Maybe in THIS thread i should be asking, will they be dressed in identical FLUFF! (that you have organised in your SPARE time ha ha). I really hope you get a Little Squirt before they arrive.
Moonchild - i LOVE that name Anais.
I do LOL I have noticed the same in DD since you mentioned it... glad I knew of it before doing cloth overnight:
I had forgotten just how fast this thread moves... Howdy everyone! I feel like a stranger in town.
Can I just say that I REALLY miss my little squirt!! This is getting ridiculous! The replacement part was supposed to have been sent last week, and I've already received stuff from NZ that I ordered after it. Grrr... DS is practically potty trained for poohs, but things have been chaotic and he's "forgotten" how to communicate (much like his dad... :doh:) and even rinsing the potty without the LS is annoying!
rhyb - awww... I sent all my NB covers to lilprecious just before I left Melbourne, and I don't even know if she's using them anymore.
maz - I just had a thought about dryers munching snaps... would it be possible to put the damp/cold/crunchy nappy in a pillowcase or something similar before chucking it in the dryer? I haven't got a dryer, so maybe that's a really stupid idea. But it might work??
um, I was gunna add more but DS is shrieking like nothing I've ever heard before, and I better go investigate before the neighbours call the cops!
WOAB: GNST, MAL custom cover
:dance: I am so smart, I am so smart :dance:
Ok that was probably a bit of an overreaction but... I folded my first nappy today and actually put it on DD (as opposed to just folding it up, deciding it wasn't right, folding it again, still not right and grabbing a prefold or BBH). She needed changing 20mins after I put it on her because she had done her morning pee (yep totally get it now thanks BG!) but it was ok because I folded yet another nappy and put it on her.
WOCB: Flannel flat with MAL Sage Dot Minky cover
PMSL... good on ya ;):

I know I am a bit silly most of the time LOL
DD is a peeing machine today!!
WOCB: Spunky butt with MAL pot of gold cover (in Med so big on her it is snapped back over on itself almost... panic I just realised I have no MAL small covers... I go from NB to Med size.. oops! How on earth did I let that happen! Fingers crossed I can get some at the next stocking)
