well i was hoping to find out the sex of bub today but unfortunately they had the cord between its legs so now my custom maz cover ideas have to change im thinking maybe a first fluff cover in white and im only going to have trouble with the matching covers i was going to get i was thinking embroidered 1 of 2 and 2 of 2 not sure of colour can u do something like that maz? i hope so coz i love maz covers
WOJB: Baby safari stuff and snap
WO#2B: squishy amniotic fluid :)
LOL JwJ love whats on bub #2 ;)
:ROFL: Kitten you scared poor cmarfol now hahahha. get prefolds babe you'll be right.:
J you know were I am when you need me :)
WOMB - lunch...all squishing out the top of his BB :sick: yep....fountain of pooh :( looks like our days off BB's are over
I remember in the early days with DD2 that I was changing her nappy every 1-1.5 hours, so that's about 16 changes. I might look into some prefolds as well.
we were on a similar changing schedule for a few weeks - and nearly every nappy was a dirty one. we had 24 nappies that fit her at the start and were washing everynight (thankfully flannel flats can be turfed in the dryer!!)
i need t stop looking at fb - i keep seeing new nappies that i want to get. when these ww's arrive, that will make 10 new nappies for her... yikes! she's starting to get to the end of being able to wear her iish fly (med's) and maybe her small twinkle lily's... i may need to cull the current collection a bit i think!
WOEB - an iish fly of some sort - even though they have the most pieces to them, they seem to be DH's nappy of choice - go figure!
sorry BG lol
lolololololol
yes but i know what you mean, its terrible having all those pretty nappy shops on FB soooo tempting
WOMB: nothing, time fro a bath lol
Sorry- I'm bit behind to catch up on everything!
For girly nappies I think minilala's are gorgeous.
What NB kissaluvs do you have kitten? Are they the contours?
I have nothing for newborn yet! I remember washing our small stash of OSFM pockets every day last time and making up some short fall with a pair of eenee pants. I'll be getting at least a dozen prefolds this time.
WOEB: Bumgenius
pa ha ha yes sorry - it might sound like lots of washing but if you get prefolds/flats etc they can just go in the dryer as jodi said! It really wasnt that much - DH helped and DD1 helped too :):
Maz - if you are talking beetlebums you know where to PM me! (as delicious as you make it sound ROFL)
AH you know in my list I actually meant fitteds but you have reminded me that I do have 8 Kissaluv contours.... somewhere! Now I have to find them, they aren't in the nappy box! I got them for a bargain, $30 for the lot :):
WOHB - teal green sugar shot pocket
lol we only go for about 6-7 nappies a day
WOMB: a kawazukee long haul ( over night )
Anyone not have a dryer? I feel like the only fool who does cloth without a dryer sometimes :lol: We have a drying rack of nappies in front of the heater ALLLL winter!
we do now , I guess we did so from about 2-3 months of age? Just those early days that use so many :):
ME meow :) mines broken but I very rarely put nappies in there. Mine sit under the heater vent aswell....which reminds me I need to buy another one.
I need a fluffy fix...hook me up people :lol:
WOMB - BBH fitted and growl cover
We've never had a dryer- would be handy for the inserts from the pocket nappies sometimes!
I just asked my H if he would mind if this baby had a few different types of nappies that went on different ways such as prefolds & fitteds and he asked "Why can't we just use the ones we have?". Errr... cause our big boy will be using them! Anyway, last time I stuck to just pockets so he could get the method of one way and not get confused and it seems I'll need to do the same with the newborn nappies too. You would think he's a complete idiot but he's really smart :rolleyes: And he's shocking with sleep deprivation so I'd rather make it as simple as possible.
What to get? Fitteds, prefolds, contour prefolds? I don't think I'll go for pockets or AIOs- too expensive given we already have a huge OSFM stash. Neither of us seem to like snaps either- haven't like them on anything I've tried so I'm thinking not fitteds... though the NB kisssaluv fitteds look SOOO good kitten!! I'm leaning towards the kissaluv contour prefolds at the moment- they look idiot proof :lol:
my hubby was the same.
i found as long as i left them set up so all he ahd to do was open put baby in and do up he was fine
so thats why AI2's did well for us. as i set it up and bam just like a sposie.
and very quick to dry as you keep extra boosters and if the booster ins't dry grab a fresh one out of teh draw and pop it on while the other is drying :D:D
and i foudn OSF work well for us. as it means hubby knows the nappies and knows which are night adn day etc no issues :D:D
lol yeh those first 2 montsh are horrible i felt liek i was constantly changing her bum lol
WOMB: same as before a Kawazukee long haul..
meow - we don't have a dryer. But I live in Cairns, so don't really need one. I mean, it's the beginning of winter and it's sunny with a top of 28 here today! I'm in a denim skirt and singlet right now lol
thanx for reminding us what sumemr is like jodi lol
its 4 degrees here but out house is 24 inside.. mmmm love aircon.
i dont sue the dryer much now i use an airer under the aircon they are dry over night.
WOMB: kawazukee day tripper in chineese ladies
i don't have a dryer. have 2 clothes horses permanently stationed under the reverse-cycle air con (our heater).
below is my newborn stash, most got second hand so i have different types:
nappies
flannel flats- handy, dry quick but not used that often on her bum. good for underneath her for nappy free time and for spit-ups.
maz-a-licious prefolds- good but need to fold down at top as well to fit into small covers
motherease sandy's- needs a cover, good
kissaluvs kissy's-need a cover, good
swaddlebees-with sewn in booster-need a cover,good
not sure what brand but i love them- fluoro colours with trifold sewn in booster, rainbow thread overlocking, front snaps-need a cover, favs (does anyone know which brand they could be? i bought them 2nd hand from someone on BB but can't remember who)
BBH magicalls-good but bulky take longer to dry- will last awhile sizewise
covers-
bambino mio PUL- love them, funky patterns too
motherease PUL xsmall (not so small ok for us but would be too big on a little bub)
squeaky cheeks fleece- DH doesn't like them
BBH PUL- small still too big
maz-a-licious- so cute
haha i think i just underestimated the number of nappies and washes im going to be doing!!!
we have a dryer but dont use it much unless DF's work clothes havnt dried in time or something
meow- i would hav thought the egdes of the velcro would rub and be more likely to come undone (or be undone by a Houdini)? mum was telling me the other day that (back in the days of velco on car seats) i used to be able to undo the velcro straps by the time i was 5 months...
ah jodi im so jealous right now!!!! my uncles in cairns and always remembers to rub in the fact that he only owns 1 jumper! atm its 9degrees here (but i am sitting in front of a nice gas heater with a couple of kitties to keep me warm (puppy decided she was going to go visit with my mum and sister for the weekend :rolleyes: yes decided, walked out the front and got in sisters car when normally she wont go near the front door when my sister is leaving in case my sister tries to kidnap her lol)).
so far i have the change table set up so the 1st nappies u see/reach for are the AIO/AI2(all ready to go) and u gotta reach around the side to get to the fitteds and prefolds. i figure thats the easiest way to get DF to actually use them..
WOHB- sweet fa except as jwithj said, amniotic fluid. something much cuter very soon.
I have a basket full of nappies ot hang..sunshine but ice cold wind.....I'll pop them outside in the sun and bring them in under the heart at 4pm.
Jodi - thats it...im coming up...put the dame kettle on woman!!!!!
I swear to god, everytime this boy of mine gets his bumble bee GF on he shiats in it :doh: anyones else's child have a favourite poohing nappy???
WOMB - tiger GF
yes, her puppy dog IISH FLY's - DH thinks they are the cure if she is struggling to go - he'll hunt them out! thankfully she has three of them!:
WOEB - an iish fly of some sort - DH just took a puppy dog one off - blurgh!! stinky!
Im getting new nappies!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! Lots of replacements (dead elastic and disintegrated bamboo) and I have a special custom night nappy in the pipes when a very special woman has some free time. I really need to go through my stash and turf the dead ones when the newbies arrive.
Yep, my fave sugar shot AI2.:
WOHB - red minkee sugar shot pocket with applique peace sign
Yes, her bonnibuns choc dot night nappy first thing in the morning without fail. At least it's pre nappy change. Or her Raspberry sorbet Abby Gro. She will poo in that one without fail every time.:
I just placed an order for 12 nappies. 6 for me and 6 for my older sis due in August. It's a surprise so shhhhhh but I had so much fun picking them out!
WOCB: Soon to be black Abby Gro minky all day
i cant remember who asked how big the pea pods inserts were but they are around 30cm x 30cm and i would just fold it in 3 then put a PUL cover over top. i saw a demonstration on a local organic shops internet page and thats what they recommended so i am guessing thats what u do for prefolds
WOHB - pea pod pocket
well i haev just caught up with the nappy washing :D:D
today maree has on a sposie, as she is at school and tehy supply nappies :D:D:D
tay deided she wanted to wear nappies again as she has been seeing teh new ones i have made lol too cute
FLUFFY MAIL! Maz, you're a genius. The cover is gorgeous!
Now the problem.............. Getting it off DD who keeps trying to flog it and put it in her toy box. :rofl: That is the ultimate compliment Maz!
WOCB: um.......... Can't remember colour name but it's an orange and red swirl Abby Gro Minky all days. DD picked it of course!
lol yeh that is the best compliment lol
WOMB, kawazukee angle skulls.. mmmm sooo pretty..
ya fluff mail yesterday! 2 lushie fitteds and a whizz kids cover :)
very exciting since saw the doc yest as well and apparently we should expect bubs arrival at any time :dance: i cant wait to be able to post WOHB!!!
Aw lex that would be great if you don't mind!! I owe you for that nappy still (which I have to talk to you about - remind me to PM you!):
I think I've decided to give up on cloth at night, sick of the kids blowing out cos they are all heavy wetters - so I'll be selling all my night nappies soon. Getting some Rockin' Green to use to wash them though, so can't wait to test that out!! woohoo!!
got a grizzly guts here today - oh so cranky - doing my head in
WOEB - DM
Not much nappy wise happening here. The kids wear them, they get washed, you know, the usual. Waiting on AP for replacements.
WOEB: Pink WC day nappy
WOLB: Orange Magicall
Very excited!! Got my first fluffy mail delivery (for me, not the business lol) in YONKS yesterday!
A fab parcel from MAL, some breastpads for me and one prefold :rofl: Starting off small ;)
And a beautiful "first fluff' cover appeared in there too, so tiny! It was like falling in love all over again. Thanks Maz!!
Mel - no probs! Will hunt them down and send them on this week.
Cmarfol - very exciting!! Will be on the look out for the BA :)
ohhh no fluffy, the addiction has begun again lol
i love getting fluffy mail... its soo much fun.
WOMB, same as beofre haven't ahd to change her yet lol
cmarfol - look forward to hearing the BA!! so exciting
WOHB - BBH multi fit magic all in dew :D
Mel what is this rocking green stuff and why is it any diff to say Eco Store?
Nappies are not drying here - well the shells are, thank goodness for pockets! This time last year Laa didn't touch anything, now I can't have washing indoors as she just pull sit all off (helping me of course, brings it to me and says "thankyou")............
WOHB - mermaid embroidered sugarshot pocket.... soon to be butterfly tattoo purple minkee sugarshot pocket!
DD started that and had the clothes horse collapse on her this morning. No injuries, just a fright. Keeping it in the granny flat now. It just means I have to freeze my rear off to go see if stuff is dry......:
WOCB: Care bear fleece breeze Abby Gro. Need a little more breathability then the PUL right now.
Kitt3n - dunno, bees knees according to the other girls you know where ;)
I'm getting some sent to me, so I'll let you know!
kitt3n- do u have a room that u can close off to put the clothes airer in? this is what i have to do at our house cos otherwise the cats have great fun!! i just shut the door and leave the ceiling fan on...
LOL yep, DD1's room, that's where the only indoor one can go - and is needed for woolens, delicates etc! Nappy shells dry on the balcony, its just the trifolds that end up in the dryer. With everything else LOL.:
Lucky no injuries CL!!!
Mel, lemme know, I don't get what the deal is. IYKWIM.
WOHB - I cant remember. Suffering from seriously tired preg brain!
Hello, long time no chat. Hope everyone is well.
Lil man is growing up, 14 months now :(
Still doin the cloth, tried all of the hard to gets and desirables. These days the best fit by a long shot is the good ole itti!
Yay for the easy to gets!!!
MLM- Sometimes it's a PITA to get the right fit hey? I have so many nappies that fitted Charlotte during a particular period of growth and then became useless after 1-2 months because she changed shape or started getting builders cleavage :lol:
Nappy news is I actually ran out of cloth because I forgot to get them off the line last night. She had 3 dodgy nappies on thismorning and it's so freezing she's flooded into 3 pairs of pants. I can't wait for this other 6 to come, so over using the dryer because of the dampness too.
DD has become such a heavy wetter and restless sleeper that I now have to put a night nappy on in day naps or she floods the bed.
WOCB: Dodgy delaminated Cushie Tushies in pink camo with Maz cover. Praying she doesn't flood the bed during her nap and get woken up!
