Thanks elliskirsty. I know inhaling or drinking eucalyptus oil is dangerous. I plan to store it (and the other oils) locked up with our cleaning products. I'd like to start using it for some of my general cleaning and I think so long as you don't put it in a spray bottle and squirt it around to be breathed in then it would be okay.
All essential oils are toxic when ingested.
Then again, so is bleach and floor cleaner, I know which I would prefer to use to clean my house. Again, common sense and responsibility must be taken.
I lock my natural cleaners away just like I would any other cleaner. I also make sure I don't just "spray them around" so they mist.
Nappy news is that my customs are a tad held up because a second cut of material is hard to get hold of. I love the fact the maker keeps me updated!
WOCB: Black daisy abby gro and sleeping like a (no pun intended) baby. Playgroup always wears her out :lol:
quick question with the use of oils in washing, (this may be baby brain) but when u say put it in the rinse do u mean the rinse cycle on the machine when its almost done or when u r doing a pre-rinse before washing? we will prob be needing this cos our yard doesnt get much sun so most stuff is dried inside...
cmarfol u must be getting excited :)
im going to need another clothes airer next winter unless DS toilet trains coz DS's nappies fill it already but who knows he already doesnt use a bottle anymore my little boy is growing way too fast or i might have to wash every day shock horror lol
WOJB: im getting really bad at this maybe a PUL pocket and i cant check coz hes asleep playgroup tires him out too lol
WO?B: still amniotic fluid this pregnancy is taking forever
the rinse cycle - so where you put fabric softener :)
j- very excited but seriously about to die of impatience!! but at worst i have to wait til friday, which is when my waters will be broken if he hasnt arrived by then. we have 3 clothes airers thanks to our washing line being in the most stupid place ever but not having anywhere to relocate it too. i think the last trimester has gone the quickest for me, hopefully for u 2, is jamie confused/curious at ur growing tummy or not old enough to get it yet?
limeslice- ok lol sounds easy :) oooh ticker!! baby on the way!! congrats!
:( no more fluff for me until after bubs has arrived and has put some chub on (not that thats going to be an issue if he takes after his daddy who looked like a mini buddha as a bub). we've decided to go with disposables for the 1st little bit, spesh since DF has never changed a nappy b4, disposible or cloth....ever.....so we are going to ease him into it....
stupid computer, double post
OMG! Limeslice! Grats on your pregnancy! I need to haunt the forums more again... Maybe when The day has 48 hours instead of 24? I completely missed your pregnancy announcement
cmarfol - good luck and hopefully jellybean makes an appearance before friday! we were told at our antenatal class to DTD alot!! lol try that if you arent already!!! :D
afm, stupid stupid stupid pea pods are leaking again!! arrggghhhh i need to do a strip wash on them i think to see if that helps a bit. i meant to do one this morning but forgot (baby brain). i wish i had never got them now. they almost always seem to leak.
WOHB - pea pod. he just had his 4 month needles and i didnt wanna stain his bbh with panadol wee!! lol
panadol wee??:
gave him panadol before his needles which stains his wee. therefore the bamboo gets discoloured
:rofl: Thanks CL :)
Teresa - good thinking 99 ;)
I only tried one peapods and didn't buy any more! I foudn they were SO big for the weight size they were supposed to fit. Maybe on a chunky thighed bubba? And being snaps I could never get the fit quite right on his waist. Ugh. Was glad to offload that nappy.
We give our son amcal paracetamol if he needs it and it's never caused staining on nappies. I've heard the panadol thing but the only time he had panadol was when he was staying in hospital and we had him in disposables then.
Very exciting news about your little bubba too limeslice :D And yes- I think all essential oils are dangerous to ingest! I have heard that eucalyptus oil is pretty bad for children to inhale though.
hes got no idea and its hard coz he doesnt understand why i cant pick him up or carry him around but luckily he likes to walk lets hope he still needs a pram coz im gtting a strider plus which is already on laybuy and i realised i really have no need to buy any more nappies i have tons of prefolds and im hoping i'll only have to get mediums but hopefully washing everyday they can share the mediums if DS is still in them but he's got a long way to go till he wears anything remotely large hes just very skinny :)
WOJB: Sposie with a maz cover his night nappies are still drying
Is that paracetamol also colour and sugar free? DD gets hyper off lots of preservatives/additives. I was iffy about trying the generic ones for that reason. Also do you feel it's as effective? Does it seem to upset tummies? Sorry I know you're not a pharmacist but the woman the other day had NFI. I only use panadol once in a blue moon but her nappies take ages to unstain.:
WOCB: nekky, bath time :lol:
CL- we're out of it at the moment so I'm not sure of the ingredients sorry. I know it still has that saccarin crap stuff though. It seems to work well- it's still paracetamol I guess. Though he's always responded best to nurofen (possibly because he mainly has it for teething pain) so we mainly use that. The amcal one is orange flavoured.
random fact and not sure about how it is with teething bubs but with braces and plates for teeth they say not to take anti-inflammatory drugs cos it can stop/slow the movement of the teeth. something about the inflammation being the gums moving out of the way of the teeth and if u take the inflammation away then its harder for the teeth to move....
