Great info thanks Teresa!
whats a snappi???
The little clippy thinga ma bob that hooks onto prefolds? Or did i make that up? LOL
u use it to hold together terry and prefolds instead of using pins. its like a T shape with little hooks on it. its stretchy rubber
Ok good i didnt make it up haha
I got mine from Big W
I'm not totally sure. But WOHB= What's on his/her bot so I assume it's something similiar :):
WOHB: Happy Heiny OSFM with snaps (my least fave nappy! :lol:)
thanks meow!!
WOHB - pea pods. not my fave but it doesnt always leak!!!
The 'H' turns into the first letter of that persons childs name..if that makes sense? So if i had a son Will it would be WOWB
Thanks Ali! Will have a look :D
ok now i get it
WOMB, cute tushie side snapper. with single booster.. as i was to lasy to walk to her room to grab teh second booster lol
lol good thing DS name starts with a H then!! cheers:D
at the moment i cant even remember wat DS has on his butt coz its hard to remember after all the squirming and running away that he does and being preg and scatterbrain lol
i cant wait to put NB nappies on approx 20 weeks to go lol and i cant wait till friday coz thats when i can put in my order with maz for covers ;)
Sorry :lol: shows I havent beenin here in along time..
WOMB does stand for WHATS ON HIS/HER BUTT.
PUL covers....they dont do anything for me...I found that my kids got bad NR with them as the PUL kept heat in rather in evaporate it and the wetness.
Snappies...Big W have them or check out Bizy bee...from memory Sarah had a bucket load to shift.
SOOOOOO annoyed....nothing is drying :doh: and I cant even put my nappies in the dryer on low as its BROKEN!!!!! ahhhhhhh
Has anyone seen any longies up for sale yet? Tank has outgrown his in the length so desperately need some more.
Bugger I have a new page and cant remember see who posted about washign wool. I wash my longies in cold water on a gentle cycle int he washign machine and i havent shrunk them...BUT J man washed for me last winter and totally stuffed up 2 pairs on me...god I could have killee him!!
WOMB - moo cow aurial
thats why i go the safe option, hubby doesnt do different loads lol its all on ordinary wash or it dont get washed with him..
WOMB: black itti bitti with night booster.. fingers crossed lol
i just received 4 cushie tushies osfm (got them on sale for $12.50 each). They are massive! i wasn't expecting them to fit my little one yet but i reckon it will be ages til they fit. You like cushie tushies?
kate, i got 2 2ndhand and i thought the same thing! i looked on the website and it says 4kg and up, i cant see them fitting for much longer than that!!
i have 2 cushie tushies and i must say i am definately not a fan. i love the minkee feel and patterns but thats it. i find them big, dont fit around DS legs well and leak if i dont put both boosters in. even if both boosters are in it still leaks at times. DS is 6kg now so i am hoping that eventually they might fit better, if not they are spares just in case.
thats another thing, what PUL covers are good for early use? i bought a small bbh cover and it seems really big...i also have a small thirsties and tots bots that dont look AS big are there any others i should consider? wool are a no go in our house, both DF and i get a rash from wool so i am avoiding having anything wool that will be touching bubs...
cmarfol - bbh do make a newborn cover. i have them and they fit DS perfectly when we bought him home. he was just under 3kg when he came home and they fit him up until just over 4kg.
I've read that thirsties and bummis brites (with gussets) are the best PUL covers. I went straight to the OSFM last time so I haven't used covers before but this time I want a snug little newborn fit for the first few months before we move into the OSFM.
We're have all the old clothey mama's gone?
Im feeling very out of place in here
Im here Maz :hug:
i'm here...
newborn covers.....we have been loving thisties duos and newborn size motherease rikkis...prolly the rikkis are the most used here.
oh and I finally get to say this:
WOCB: small itti bitti, not sure on colour daddy changed him...lol
It has changed... I tried to join in this chat thread ages ago but it was impossible. The group was so tight knit then. I'm glad of newbies so I can join in :D
i love my bambino mio PUL covers. They fit great, and look good too.:
Do I count Maz?:
I don't see many from last year in here really.
Been out and about lately so haven't had a chance to say hi much so "hi"! Waiting for wrigglebots to restock a bunch of minkee i spotted last custom order and seem to have disappeared. I have permission to make another fluffy order :D
WOCB: errr.......... NFI as I was cooking and DP put it on, but i hear her pooing......... Soon to be naked for bath time.
Im so sorry you felt it was like that :(. It took me over 4 months of persistance to try and get people to hear me when I first started in here. I now understand why though. Its hard to have to repeat continuously over and over to people about MCN's only to have them leave without a thank you. yes they do :( and thats probably why it was so tight knit. But in saying that Ive tried to be helpful to everyone :(:
anyway....
Melbel - I am so happy to finally see a WOHB honey
Ali - how did those nappies go that were found in the bucket...are they livable at all?
cmarfol - Nelle swears by rikki's...she loved the leg gussets for pooh contamination and explosions :sick:
I love rikkis and bummis covers, from having used them on other people's children! So I have 4 of each for NB use, and a few otehr bits and bobs I have picked up 2nd hand.
Have some BBH woolies, got them very cheaply.
maz - knitting some longies right now! I'm not real quick, or good, I just love knitting. I've done two soakers already, but thought I'd give some longies a go as I'd forgotten how cold Brissie winters are! And at my rate, it will be next winter by the time they're done. So I could do some for Tank, but by the time I finish these, start some for him, I'd be giving them for his 21st! :D
Ammaki - snappis are all over the place! Ebay usually has some, Big W-Kmart-Target etc usually have them. I haven;t seen any at Coles for a while, I just grab them whenever I see them, so not sure exactly where they all came from. I did get one at an op shop last week. And some pins - why not? Grand total of 70c outlay...
No bot to report on, no fluffy mail on the way. :( Did nab a great deal on wool at Spotlight on the weekend though. For the woolies I'll never finish...
Maz the LL is threadbare so on it's last legs ad the CT is long gone. I am getting a budget together to replace my stash on nappy per FN because so many have dead elastic now.
personally i dont like the cushie tushie, they never seemed to fit right, with skinny waist adn chubby thighs there wasn't enough movement in adjustment
we have only every use OSFM on our children i didnt do teh Nb or sized except for itti bitti but their medium fit DD from 4 kg to DD1 who is 13 KG..
are the nappies best for skinny waist and chubby thighs OR is this how your kids are proportioned? just wondering what shape the CT are best for.:
ta
thats how my girls are.
long and lean, but with thunder thighs lol
personally i think they would fit a baby who was chubby all over, or skinny all over, as there is only one row of snaps and not 2 so you cant pull in for waist and let out for thighs.
I founbd the rise good and width between legs good, just not enough adjustment for me.
this si only personal opinion. not a professional one.
just wondering when we have another baby, can i use the bamboo inserts from my pea pods as prefolds? would that work well?
Audax - good job on the knitting, my mum and nan tried to teach me and i just couldnt pick it up!! Hopeless! Thanks for the info on Snappis too! Sounds like you have a pretty decent stash already miss!
I only have a few prefolds and a couple AIOs ... trying to buy second hand and lots of different ones to see how we go! I have NO covers tho atm, need to get cracking!
Maz - thanks for the info on wool vs PUL too, am now officially back to square one hahaha, might get a couple of each and see how we go!
Hi all :)
Well have been out of the thread for a while now but thought I should stick my toe in again and test the waters!
Looong way to go still but want to get back in the swing of things - Bump will have been out of nappies for 18 months by the time Speck arrives. ;)
Tell me girls is it Ok to store your naps for a few years between kids? Or does the elastic get brittle? I am still having kids and don't really wanna be having to buy a new batch of naps each time I have a baby. I have worked out some naps that are just crap, the elastic won't go thru one kid let alone trying to last two. Or if it isn't the elastic its the pul coming of the minkee. I am on the hunt for a nappy that willl last long term and pref an OSFA. Is there such a thing out there? I had heard the NZ made honeychild was made with hospital grade materials for hardwearing and long lasting. Yes I do use flats as well and love my mcns just wanting a basic workhorse nappy that will go the distance - happy to pay good money for it.
WOSB - Newborn prefold in blue
WODB - Wild Child minkee tiedye
halltribe- i have ABSOLUTELY no experience but have been told the NZ "nudey! rudey!" brand is really good as well...
ammaki- i am doing the same with 2nd hands and so far have an interesting combination of things! i am currently searching for fitteds and covers (already have some prefolds) cos our stuff tends to take 5million years to dry no matter what...but i think when bubs arrives i will be wanting more aio simply cos im lazy and DF is hopeless with anything baby related :P
cmarfol I just bought 3 covers off a BB member second hand, she has some wool ones still available, did you want me to link you the thread?
thanks but nah we are avoiding wool, DF and i both have a reaction to it so rnt taking the chance that bubs will as well. kinda sad cos that means no cute little soakers or anything :(
Oh sorry i think i remember reading that! She has 2 PUL BBH small covers, i was going to buy both but am considering one PUL & one wool if you wanted the other one :D only $6 + postage i think! Although do you know the sex of bubba because i think they are pink lol
