Thankyou everyone for leaving the POGs that I was after alone!! Woot :)
Bit early to be buying anything but that one is special :)
Crazy - stay clear of the red paw paw ointment hun, its petroleum based and isnt good for your mcn, go for the one in the black tube.
Poopie I am pretty sure you would be OK with the GAIA just check the ingredients as Mel said :)

Ive been lurking but not posting. One of my three is toilet trained now sooooooo one less in cloth :( And Rip is semi-tting so he is in pull ups most days. Only Stelly left to show off my beautiful fluff when he isnt in sposies at daycare.
I cant believe I avoided the Mazalicous stocking! Howzat for will power :lol:
I think I need another baby (so then I dont have to sell me small and medium nappies ;) )
Just bought my first Maz prefold :dance:
Such a newbie but i think im wrapping my head around it all!
Freya- Yellow paw paw cream? Is that the lucas brand too? I really have to browse the shelves more.
WOCB: soon to be care bears abby gro fleece breeze i need to go find her, she's exploring the house and very quiet :o

has anyone got any ideas as to how to soften bamboo again? I've got some GK and IB inserts that are as stiff as and need to be softened so that they are fold-able/mould-able to DS's butt again.
WOBB GK polka-dot
about 10 mins in the dryer on low that should do it

Or just a good scrunch in your hands will work too
Mel - I just wanted to say its so great to have you back!!
I mean, I know youve been back for a while, but its just great! :D
Aw thanks babe - I can't wait to see you when I come up to Bris - if you are going to be hanging around there around the xmas holidays?:
Hi ladies, thanks so much for the response about the creams. Is the yellow paw paw cream you are talking about called "Paw Paw Salve?" The container is mostly yellow with green writing on it. I was sort of looking for an exact yellow version of the red but can't find it.
For those of you who use Moo Goo - which one do you use? I found this at the health shop (yay!) but there was about 3 different types.
The ingredients of the Gaia skin soothing lotion are: demineralised water, vegetable oil, grape seed oil, organic shea butter, caster oil, beeswax, organic wheat germ oil, zinc oxide, organic calendula extract, organic chamomile extract, organic avocado oil, organic evening primrose oil, sodium hydromethylglycinate (amino acid), essential oils of organic lavender, organic sweet organge, organic chamomile, limonene and linalool.
Would this Gaia cream be okay to use with cloth nappies?
Thanks in advance for all your wonderful help - I am slowly learning and both DH and I are so keen to use cloth nappies. We have such a stash now - I think I am addicted!!!
Hi Starangelk - I dunno about the beeswax, you'd have to see if the cream rubbed into the skin. If its like a moisturing cream that just rubs in, it should be ok. If its like a paste that sits on top of the skin - its not ok.
HTH :D
WOMB & WOEB: no idea cos DH changed them both.
WOAB: Undies (woohoo!)
ETA: MSM soothing cream is the moogoo that I use.
i would say not starangelk coz it has zinc oxide in it thats the stuff in other creams that isnt safe to use on cloth but it is the right paw paw ointment there is one in a black tube too a different brand and yep its the msm soothing cream like mel said
i bought 10 iishfly prefolds yesterday i got half pink and blue and i thought oh well if i have a boy their covered by covers anyway lol hopefully i can get some more while their still cheap lol

Hey Maz, are you lurking? Just wondering if you know the rough weight fit of your night nappies. DD needs another and i have nfi what waist size she is. she's long in the rise with chubby legs and scrawny bum.
ROFL sorry hon...was outside yelling at j man :ROFL: have PMed you anyway's
and Yep.....CK's go VERY quick cause their so YUMMMMMMYYYYYYY
Thanks JwithJ and Camme-Lot for the info, I think I'll buy the yellow paw paw ointment and leave the Gaia for use without the cloth.
This thread is fantastic! As a soon to be first timer - I have been getting alot of negative feedback about using cloth, including from the midwife at ante-natal classes!!! But this thread shows me that there are Mum's really doing this and enjoying it. :clap:
Definitely mum's out there doing it love - and its not that much hard work - no matter what people think.
Although - having 3 in cloth was a bit harder than I wanted it to be, but now DS is toilet trained during the day, I only have 2 - much easier! HAHA
I love usi g the cloth nappies and heaps of my friends who are first time mums are keen to try it out. I didn't even think of using them on dd1 but that was 6 years ag
Ok gf is due to have her first bub in sept and i have forgotten already what you need for a nb. I want to get a stash set up for her... What should i get?
PREFOLDS!!!!!
lol
hmmmmm.
I got my sister some cloth wipes. breast pads next stocking ;)
night nappies were both wet so i stuffed extras in an abby gro and hoping for the best! it worked last time.
Laa wore her first terry flat yesterday! A nasty run of vomiting/gastro has swept through our house - hubby is the only one who it hasnt hit (yet). Lovely way to spend Easter.
But you know I had NFI how to fold a terry flat. Kinda worked the way I did it though!
