Cloth Nappies #186

[shazzi]

hi lovely ladies,
I just wanted to come in and say hi and introduce myself. Been lurking for a while but get shy about joining threads when everyone seems to know everyone so well.

DD is 11 months old and we have been using mcn's since she was 6 months. Really wish we had gotten into them earlier but like a pp above I thought they were all flats and bleach soaking etc. Did not like the thought of all that chemical contamination. But geez the sun does such a brilliant job - when it is out of course!

I just got a little squirt thingy for the toilet and OMG it is so good! So much easier than washing the muck off in a bucket or naughty naughty in the laundry tub.

Hi!

My DH has got the bits &pieces to make a litte squirt, just has to put it together. do they work on newborn poos too?

[meow]

Welcome Shazzi I love our little squirt too! Wouldn't be without it. We started using it a week after starting solids so no idea about newborn poo- I never rinsed off that BF poo though.

Very exciting about our upcoming models!

LIttle squirts and newborn poo - Don't see why it would not be useful. I used to rinse most of DD's pooey nappies before solids so i would not get residue in the washing machine. And she is a little runny right now so that is like pre-solids.

We just got the stuff from Bunnings and my DH made it up. Made him feel very manly

Hi everyone - just need to shout my love for cloth nappies out loud to people who will appreciate it.

Cool thing Number One - This morning DH did a load of nappies and phoned me at work to tell me that for the first time ever the poo stains didn't come out and he could still see them. I told him to put them outside in the sun as that is supposed to help the stains and he said ok but in a VERY disbelieving way and muttered something about napisan before hanging up the phone. I worried all day that he would have soaked them in napisan and I didn't want them going near my little girl! Anyway, he just brought the nappies in and ran into the room to tell me that all the stains have "magically" disappeared and it is a "miracle" - hee hee.

Cool thing Number Two - We saw the MCHN this afternoon and when we took DD nappy off, there was a massive poo and the MCHN exclaimed that this was the biggest one she had seen in ages and marvelled over how there was no leakage from the prefold and the cover kept her clothes totally dry and how amazing it was. She then said that she is going to tell mothers who complain about the sposies leaking about how good our prefolds and cover system was working. Yay!

We are just SO happy with our cloth nappies...........

Now a Q - is anyone using BBH magicalls OSFA? I have some but even on the smallest setting they seem too big for DD still? She is 5 weeks old and 4.6kg. However, she is wearing BBH Petites Small and is on the largest setting. Maybe I am not snapping the BBH OSFA correctly to the smallest size.....

LOL! Pre cloth DD used to get a FOUNTAIN up her back and make a real mess.

J-I had no end of trouble with surf washing powder in my washing machine. Residue in dispenser, marks still on clothes, crusty residue on the outlet hose. Also DD got little red dots after I washed her clothes after a load of mine and DP's clothes.

WOCB: errrr.......... I think I have a bonnibuns on her tonight. She was originally decked out in her Maz night nappy but she decided to errr..... make me a present in it lol

its called rockin green maz and its hard to get right now its from the us and sells really quick im actually finding the surf really good with the water here i use about a quarter of a scoop sometimes less and my nappies arent smeely despite being inside for a while now coz of the no sun and my lovely wood fire that dries them in a day lol it is very fragranced though and being preg at the moment its very strong lol dosent smell after the wash but out of the box is very strong

btw maz i sent u an email

do they work on newborn poos too?

They work beautifully - although not really sure about those first few poos (you know the black ones). Used my from very early on and it has made things nice and easy to remoove the "sticky" liquid type poo from the nappy before hitting the washing machine - although now that DS's poo is more solid I almost don't need it - he still has the odd sticky/liquidy poo that is best removed with the LS. (We have only had BM and normal solids here, no formula so don't know if that makes a difference)

[briggsy's girl]

my DH never got around to installing the LS for us - so what doesn't roll off gets a quick rinse and no real dramas. am actually contemplating selling the LS but not sure where to list it (or where he's hidden it for the moment lol)

[*TripleJ*]

well if u wanna sell it i'll buy it off you lol probably dont need it now but i will very soon
