Cloth Nappies #185

***TripleJ*** · March 15th, 2010, 06:42 PM

one thing i dont get is how such a tiny bum can wear a nappy that big especially the night ones i noticed jamie has a really tiny bum which is why im so surprised his nappies fit and hes in mediums and larges the size of his bum says maybe he would fit in a small lol

WOJB: WC night and custom large 'Jamie' maz cover

thanks to those who have given me some websites for the woollen longies!!

I would like to try to learn how to knit!! That's my next hobby

(if time will permit!!)

WOOHOO!

Ordered 6 Abby Gro nappies today and I got a choice of colour/patterns. Was running around so excited. On the way I have:
1 black dot minkee
1 aqua gelato minkee
1 raspberry slush gelato minkee
1 citrus slush gelato minkee
1 black skulls minkee and
1 daisy black/red minkee

Sister and I were going nuts for an hour trying to decide!

Shanti I learnt to knit a couple of months ago and made a rainbow baby beannie! It's so cute

I just looked up how to knit on youtube and had a little help from a BB'er who answered my post about 'gaining' stiches lol I thought about making woolen soakers but the wool would probably cost more than buying one and I don't think I would do a very good job of making the soakers. But what the heck, you've inspired me, I think I will get some wool from spotlight next time I am there... but then again I will need to lanolise it etc etc.. ohhh it's sounding too hard again

I got my first GF's! yay - they are just sooo lovely, they are night naps but are still so trim and great fitting

I might have to get me some more

I'm starting to sell off part of my stash, DD2 has worked out velcro

so I now need to get all snaps, or put her in pants, but I hate covering cute little nappies. With the GDUNH I'm going to take advantage of the great specials

mel - welcome back - and woohoo for TT

Cherished - good luck knitting, it is one crafty thing I just can't get my head around

let us know how you go

CL - those AG's look fantastic,

oops, running out of time, need ot be at work soon and still sitting here in PJ's!

WOGB - WAHM pink SS

**CrazyLady** · March 17th, 2010, 09:17 AM

Ryatha- LOOOOOOOOOOOVE AG's. I even used one of the fleece lined ones for a night nappy the other night after DD decided she would do 2 poos within 2 hours (after we put her to bed *sigh). Was desperate and thought the PUL on the other nappies might not breathe enough. They are made soooooooo well too!

Cherished- I learnt to knit a while back and i have 3 unfinished scarves floating around

I admire your dedication.

Shanti-any luck on the longies?

I knew I had more to write but DD is grizzling again. wish my teething necklace would hurry up! Stupid post office is soooooooo slow!

WOCB: Care bears abby gro fleece breeze to let her poor little teething bum breathe!

Hi ladies!! Just wondering if any hunters can help me - I'm after a mooncup (or similar) and I was hoping to find some on special during the hunt!
Can anyone tell me who sells them or if anyone has seen some super specials? I know Obsidian Star sell them, but they aren't on super special (I think its just 10% off) So if there isn't anyone else I'll just go there

Thanks!

**CrazyLady** · March 17th, 2010, 11:29 AM

Is the cloth pad shop cheaper? I can't find the moon cups on obsidian star for a price comparison.

Anyone know of cheap huggalugs or baby legs? I have been trying to get pants on DD so much but she won't let me so I put her in her highchair and put her babylegs on

Now I need more though because she gets them FILTHY crawling around.

**sneakysparkle** · March 17th, 2010, 11:43 AM

CL - did you see Pretty Butterfly's nappy shop was closing? She had some on special (Butt-a-fly nappies) not sure if she has any left though - check the MPM section if you didn't see it

**Shanti** · March 17th, 2010, 01:48 PM

Sneaky - I have a mooncup!

I got mine from the UK website.... it's so cheap!
Crazy lady - thank you for asking! Nope no luck! The store that Kitten recommended to me on Ozebaby is closed for now

bummer!!

Cherished - haha I inspired you? you should give it a go! Then tell me how hard it is... haha I think it sounds easier just to buy a pair and support a WAHM

If i had more time, then sure I would!

I bought my first BBH Night nappy yesterday and a Petite AI2!!! Yay! Can't wait to get them!!!! Fluff....

poor DH, he gets home from work and the first thing I say to him is "i've spent more $$"

WOHB: BBH AIO Med Yellow.

**Cherished** · March 17th, 2010, 02:54 PM

ohhh shanti I bought 2 of the BBH petites and they are adorable!!!!! I so wish I could by 30 of them but they are kinda expensive, I also got 2 BBH newborn PUL covers and even they are a fair bit bigger than the petites.. I wish I could find some cheap petite size minky PUL covers to put over my prefolds and I would be happy as larry

ryatha you girls may be waiting a while for an update on that knitting, the ball of wool I used for the beanie was sitting here for over 6 months before I did anything with it lol

CrazyLady No no no, there isn't really that much dedication at all, I started a heat pack cover after I finished the beanie but I haven't done anything on it for at least a month

Now did I read somewhere in this thread that it's not good to put microfibre near bubs bum because it's drying? I intend to use a liner over the top but there would still be microfibre on their bottom where the liner isn't covering.

LOL! more dedication then my unfinished projects!

I read that microfibre thing somewhere too. I believe it because we have a microfibre towel for DD and it dries her in 30 seconds flat. It stops her staying wet and too cold

Checked out the baby legs........ then my bank balance............

I've given up with the nappy hunt.. I've found 90 including 4 extremes.. but that is enough for me as I am begining to be glued to the computer.. and looking like a geek not getting housework done etc.

Although I am very preoud of myself for not buying anything just because it was cheaper

I am waiting for maz's stocking at the end of the month to waste all my money on.. hehehee

Anyway, I just received a woolen cover made by sandy at squeeky cheeks. It is adorable!! Well worth the wait! Cant wait to use it! I am considering also buying some longies but would like them gender specific so I guess Ill have to wait a few more months to buy

sneaky sparkle are you talking about a menstural cup? because noonee wilga has them too

I would never - under any circumstances - put microfibre directly against a baby, any part of them!

However - don't get this confused with microfleece

***TripleJ*** · March 17th, 2010, 04:20 PM
