Morning all
Dummie question again - does GK = Green Kids nappies? What have been people's experience with them? Cool prints, but need to know if absorbency is any good?
Mel, I'm beginning to understand this heavy wetting business :redface: it appears that DS could extinguish a small fire the way he pees.
We were in cloth all day again yesterday YAH! They're all flappin on the line as we speak.
last 2 days were in cloth woo hoo lol back in sposies today while the nappies dry
my new CT is easier to do the fold down than the old one im not sure if its just me or if they are different anyways not much nappy news here going to the bank to pay for a cover which will be waiting for me when i get home yay!!
GK = Green Kids. As for absorbency, they are pocket nappies, so the absorbency depends on what you chuck in there. I always chuck what my kids need in there, and they work fine. However - they are a very wide crotched nappy, so if your baby suits narrow crotched nappies - stay away.:
Even with just the bamboo insert in there, I find it pretty awesome for absorbency. But yeah - so wide Munchkin walks like a cowboy. But she seems to love the zebra print and not be fussed by the wideness of it.:
I got fluffymail yesterday - more BBH Multifits. I have this love for pocket nappies. :redface:
WOMB - Purple Dot GF NN with a stack of meerkats on the bum.
They are freaking awesome! DS has now figured out how to undo velcro so Im thinking more Multifits are in order ;)
WOHB: yellow multifit :lol:
got fluffy mail today!!!!!!!
my 2 embroidered Fluffybubs (and the singlet we won!!!) and a Fluffybubs Night nappy
Thanks Mel & Kamarine, dang about the GKs being wide in the crotch though. Know any pocket nappies that are narrower? I'm thinking I need to be stuffing as much as I can into whatever DS wears.
Hmm adding more stuffing to the pockets will make it bigger no matter how big the crotch is. Having said that - swaddlebees are really narrow.
I'd look for some narrow crotched nappies that have lots of absorbent material if I were you. We do great with some of the aussie WAHM ones here - plus they can customise it for a particularly heavy wetter if need be.
hello everyone! **waves frantically**
OH MY I have missed a whole cloth thread!
nappy news umnnn - I missed the maz stocking :'(
I would love a fluffy hit. Scored the tikki dress at the GD stocking but its still not here :'(
waves to all!

Yup, that's the dilemma and we just end up getting leaks through the legs / crotch.:
I'm slowly working my way through contacting the WAHMs to get their advice on crotch width and to get some customised for better absorbency so I'm optimistic we'll find something! Just takes some time and experimentation.:
:hello: lovely cloth ladies!
Well I thought it was about time I dipped my toe in here, I have been a long time lurker, and have been slowly building up my stash for our first bubba.
So DH wants me fill the cupboards instead of having a hundred shopping bags laying around, and in order to do so, I need to do some prewashing. Now I know when nappies are dirty they need hot water, but can you prewash in cold? How many times should I prewash each nappy, and do they have to dry between washes?
Many thanks in advance, and looking forward to participating more once I have a bum to cover in fluff!
Lolly, Check out Genesa Forge, super absorbent, trim crotch, customs or off the rack. Nikki rocks and they have awesome resale and are really well made. Cant recommend them highly enough and best of all, easy to get.:lol:
Manhattan, nice to read you :) Prewash in cold is all good :)
Hello everyone else, not much happening, waiting on some canadian fitteds and thats about it for now. Lil Man will be growing out of some of the mediums soon so I am flogging them before I can go buy newbies.
Fluff, thanx for the feeding tip ;), took your advice and all good so far.Can go buy me a nappy every 3weeks with the savings :dance:
;) MLM no worries hun......i know the feeling about goats milk & $$$$$ sooo damn expensive!!!!! Jack is only taking the karicare toddler formular...i am slowly introducing cows milk BUT he knows the difference!!!!
as for nappies...i put Jacks new FB NN on him tonight...and what did he do???? poo straight away...
Thanks MLM I have made contact with Nikki at Genesa Forge, I'm just trying to figure out what to order & try now.
Hi to everyone
Who farted?
Nah, just joking
YELL YELL STOMP STOMP
Whats the go? Where are you all.
Who went and got a life while I was away?
How dare you.
WAKE UP EVERYBODY
ok, I'm here! and I just washed my nappies from two days, and realised I still had heaps left... I think it is time to cull... I have more coming as well!
But the last few nights Fred has out weed her BBH and woollen cover, I think I might need to invest in some NN... any suggestions?
WOGB - fitted and cover, just down for a sleep :crossfingers: she'll stay for a while
This thread has gone quiet!
Major dilemma here............ Charlie has just had her first solids poo and I am really dreading opening that nappy by the smell coming out.
How's everyone's fluff going? Still on buying ban so been avoiding thread so I'm not insanely jealous of everyone's fluffy purchases.
Ok, enough procrastinating off to change this nappy. Anyone have a hazmat suit?
WOCB: an insanely smelly solids poo in a pink camo cushie tushies couture. WISH ME LUCK!
A life? Me? Pffft.. not likely!!! haha!!!!
Just busy culling some of my nappies - a fair few have been sold now - which is good. Culled my stash down to 25 day nappies each for the kids, and 5 night nappies each. Bout time I did something cos my nappy drawers were overflowing. Now I am using flats more - got one on DS at the moment :) Ahhh good old flats.
BOO !!!
im here , but am sick :( and so is DD .. so not much is happening !!
CL, I hear you on the solids
Cows milk is nasty too.
So far we have only had lots of fruit and veg with a little meat.
Wonder what a macca's poo is like?
So many additives and preservatives, I wonder if they just ***** tiny little burgers?
Like mini M&Ms...
Ryatha, Shiat girl, you using dirty words....too many... pfft, there aint no such thing...
i is here too - been reading but not posting - am too slack
emailed IB re the crinkly nappies - waiting on a reply
got some bits forr bots size 1 AI2's and pocket (seconds) - they are gorgeous and lovely fit on DD
got a couple of iishflys and one had broken booster snap, and cosmetic snap issues - emailed and she is replacing - and told me to keep the others! score!
waiting on a custom from GD stocking last month = emailed to query couple of days ago and no reply. will leave til Wed and try again
E has changed shape agai and small WW fit again! so do med's! might take the osfm nappies out of circulation for a while - we have heaps we can use at the moment! always a spunky bum!
Hee hee, you're all back...
LOL, its like that movie "Awakenings" when he puts the El Dopa in the orange juice and they all wake up.
LOL! I giggled so loud at that the princess on my lap woke, gave me a filthy look and went back to sleep!:
Was a false alarm on the poo front but if her farts are that bad i am seriously dreading when the actual poo comes out, Charlie's content enough and quite chirpy so i'm thinking everything digestion wise is ok. Seems to be gettiing less agro of a morning so thinking the solids was a good move, she was getting mega hungry and quite gnarky.
Thread's picking up again. Is it just me or does there seem to be a lull everywhere this time of year? nothing on ebay, shops are empty of people. It's odd.
Oh there I am rambling in my sleep deprived state!

hello everyone! just popping in quickly so you don't all forget about me!
I have a question, maybe should post elsewhere but here will do for now - Is there anyone here that sends your kidlets to childcare with cloth nappies? I'm looking at getting DS into a place soon, and I know I'm going to get that "protocol" BS about having to supply sposies for "hygiene reasons" :rolleyes: Anyone know what the story is with the legality of that? Arimeh? Somebody? The centre I checked out this morning had NEVER had anyone even mention cloth nappies before. HOW SAD IS THAT??? Put me right off the place, to be honest... didn't even bother bringing up the topic of ECing.
Here's hoping I get a nice FDC place for DS, and don't have to worry about it.
No fluffy news here for a long time...
WOAB: BumG
One fo the daycares I looked at was cloth friendly no issues NaNa guess it depends on the centre as to if theyll do it or not.
I am currently sitting here with $140 I can spend on cloth and oh the possibilities!
WOHB: Green pop in
I think this has been discussed before and I am pretty sure legally they can't say no to cloth nappies.....Gigi did a heap of research about it and am sure will have some advice....bilby does or did cloth at CC.
Is this true? That dirty nappies need hot water? I only ever cold wash... :think::
I finally tried a GK minky overnight with a hemp insert, microfibre insert and bamboo booster and it was drenched this morning, very heavy, with a tiny little leak but the nappy I changed her out of into her night nappy was dry and she had that on for 2 hours, she was saving it up! My only other option is to try 2 hemp inserts and a bamboo booster, but that is going to be very thick... I think I will try it on her and see if it looks to uncomfortable or not.
Both my friends that work in childcare say centres are sposie only in their cases but i have read of people using cloth somewhere. i think........
DD - try a bamboo insert instead of a hemp one - I've always found them to be more absorbent than the hemp ones.
Re: cloth in child care - Gigi will probably cover that better than I ever would, but yes we had problems, mainly because all their regulations and stuff is based on old school cloth, they don't know about PUL and things like that, so usually if you do take pockets, they ask for a cover over it - which defeats the purpose really.
I did up a whole letter stating what PUL was and the new school cloth and they gave it to their officials or whoever, and we had no dramas from that.
Thanx folks. I got a call back from the center and they said they would be ok with using cloth, but they wouldn't be able to do or provide facilities for "soaking and scrubbing or anything like that"... um, who does that anyway? I did my best tactful response (this is challenging for me) and explained how they would only have to drop a flushable liner in the loo and drop the rest of the nappy and wipes in the provided wetbag. The nappies I provide will be simple as sposies, and if my DP can use them surely a childcare worker can. Only problem now is that I don't like the centre much, but there's not really any other options. Oh well...

I think most people think of the old towelling nappies when they think of cloth (I did until I was enlightened).
Hoping I can get my fluff on the line today. Bucketed down last night and the teething wee smell is making me feel off. Still no poo since starting solids so I'm dreading when it does come because been over 3 days and usually 2 days is a mega mess! Little one not uncomfortable though so looking like everything is working ok.
WOCB: CT couture Snowfall with 2 liners in to make sure poosplosion doesn't seep onto nappy if/when it does happen.
I don't have a bamboo insert :(. I did try two hemp inserts plus a bamboo booster last night, it made the nappy biggish but it worked, no leaks and no smell and she seemed comfy :D.:
Want me to send you a bamboo insert to try out DD?
Ive got a bag full sitting her for her hon :)
ok, i need a little squirt ASAP! Was so not cool trying to rinse poo the cinsitency of concrete off a nappy. Gouble liner epic fail.
Nappy issues i am really peeved about! I leant a nappy to a mate to try last week and also gave her the instructions asking her to follow them, don't soak, don't bleach and don't tumble dry........ Nappy comes back today and not only did she SOAK the nappy for THREE days, she also put it through the industrial dryer at the laundromat, used fabric softener and bleach in the wash....... I have a crispy nappy now. any way to fix it? I think it is thoroughly rooted because it feels very flimsy on places and crunches elsewhere.
WOCB: Bumwear pocket nappy as I'm down to my last few
strip wash it. (hot wash with a touch of washing up liquid...rince nappy until the suds disapear and line dry)
OMG I cant believe she did that!!!! see just show's you should never lean some of your stash to those who arent in the know.
my last post was vague (like me) - dame pain killers!!!
What I ment to say was I have a bag full of boosters and stuff here for DD to be sent along with some fluffies :D next week.
Ah my kids are being feral!!!!! THank god Ive got nappies to hang up to get away from then :ROFL:
