Cloth Nappies #186

[meow]

I want to be a Nancy homemaker and grow my vegies and bake bread and get some chookies.
So now my dollaz have to go towards those things.

I feel the same. I've finally weaned off my desire to buy nappies... and now I get to buy some more and I'm really half-hearted about it. I love the nappies we use and I'm so glad I researched them like I did but now I'm a bit over it. I love seeing newbies getting that fluffy mail rush though

Today I bought a mulberry tree and spinach and snow pea seedlings. Oh, and a puddlesuit and "hello baby" in the mothersdirect sale

I want to be a Nancy homemaker and grow my vegies and bake bread and get some chookies.

I've got the chooks and I'll swap some fertile veg growing land for an oven that bakes! My thermostat started blowing sprks 2 months ago and I haven't got the $$$ to replace it...........

Waiting for my customs. I went for some really girly ones this round because figured they'd pay off before TTing. I have a sick little munchkin that picked up a virus from playgroup and nappies are getting a workout! also I've never been hurled on so much even from her reflux days! all today has been *poo* *need new nappy mum* cry! At least she's still having WET nappies with the poo!

WOCB: Sposie because I even used her night nappies in the ****est today so made DP go buy some. She went through 17 day nappies and 3 nights today in 20 hours!

I still cant help but buy some fluff, but we are basically done now with a perfect stash for 2............. unless this next bubba is a boy, might have to tweak the colours otherwise he will be rather camp! And I have the carrier/wrap obsession which comes in waves.................

MLM - we are building and I am planning to have as much of a self sustainable garden as we can in our small space - I would LOVE to know what the other forums are that you are now going to?

WOHB - Still a Beetlebum wooly night...... should change her, probably into a BB mash up

Kitten, I have found 1 called Aussies Living Simply. They seem like really nice people and it is very easy to navigate, much like this one. You need to join (free) to see all of the forum area, but def worth a squizz, some very interesting stuff and they dont appear to be too hardcore!!
Meow and CL, yeah, the more lil man grows up, the more I begin to worry about the world I am leaving him, and of course what I put into his body while it is still under my control LOL
We are super, super lucky, we have 2 acres of lovely black soil in the Gold Coast hinterland and a house which is almost finished (even tho we have been living in it for the last 2 years!) So when it is done, we will be able to spend our spare cash on our own little nirvana.I work from home and can work any hours I want so it is easily do able.
I am just really craving the simple life KWIM?
Anyhoo, enough rambling
WOLB, sposie - he always sleeps in sposies........sigh.....

[meow]

Oh thanks- I have just looked up that forum and it looks great! We're getting into permaculture and I want chooks too... We just have a regular house in the burbs but there is enough room to do things with. We're planting a mini orchard in the front yard and raised garden beds right around the back with more trees and what will be our rotating square metre veggie plots. Then regular lawn to play on in the middle

We use disposables at night too. When I was pregnant and while my son was little I never would have believed I'd use a disposable every day. I'm glad we had him in cloth overnight for so long and out of disposables while he was little but we just found that he felt damp on his skin with cloth at night and it was waking him up. He sleeps better in a disposable so for the sake of sleep... we buy the nature babycare ones so at least there is less impact on the environment and there are less chemicals on his bot.

WOEB: Nature babycare disposable

[Kitt3n]

awesome, thanks MLM. What I am looking forward to most is the garden once we get into ou new place! Maybe we shouls start a garden thread?

Meow, I was finding the same sort of thing with Laa overnight - namely with AI2's. Now we have switched over to pockets only with suede cloth inners. Now she sleeps wonderfully.

WOHB - soft aqua SS pocket

[meow]

Hmm... we were using Green Kids which have a suede cloth inner I think. We were also using polar fleece liners which should make him feel drier shouldn't they? He was always a shocking sleeper so for ages it didn't matter but it got to a point where he seemed to be pretty much sleeping through. He would wake a little wriggly and just need a quick comfort back to sleep rather than a BF or anything. When I felt inside his nappy he would really squirm and the wetness on his skin would always feel clammy and cold. We tried disposables and he stopped waking up so we went with it. He still wakes up sometimes and I'm just not sure anymore if I'm game to go back to cloth.

Start a garden thread- great idea! I'm obsessed with ours!

WOEB: Don't know. I had a sleep in this morning and his Dad has taken him out to the park so I haven't touched one nappy yet

[skybie]

Hi girls hoping u can help me solve a problem.
DD2 wears BBH night nappies and theyre giving her the most awfull nappy rash, theyre like massive blisters that occasionally bleed! The rash also was on her legs where the nappy touches her skin
at first i thought it was because i put her in a sposie one afternoon but soon figured out that it was the night nappy.
i've had her in sposies at night for about 3 weeks while it was healing and it finally had so i put her back in the BBH but the next morning her rash was back.

None of her other nappies cause it, theyre all lined in different things but none seem to cause her any issue just the bbh night.

anyone know what could be causing it? i bought some bamboo boosters that i layed ontop of her nappy laSt night so that it was touching her skin, no noticable difference yet.

[Arimeh]

Whats the lining on the BBH night nappies skye?

[skybie]

microfleece, its weird though, the petites are exactly the same and cause her no problems and it didnt happen right from the start either....

[LimeSlice]

How long have you had the BBH? Perhaps try doing an anti-fungal wash on them. Especially if it didnt start straight off the bat, that would be my bet.

[skybie]

had them for about 2-3months, just use canesten wash?

[Arimeh]

Yeah just canestan. I use it with every wash - mainly cos that there are two girls in cloth here and thats two vaginas.. LOL

[LimeSlice]

yep...try putting some lavender or teatree in the rinse too and dry them in the sun if you can get it lol

[skybie]

Thanks for the tips ladies
lol limesllice, dont like my chance of catching the sun, but we'll try!!

[kawazuki]

were do you get canastan wash from?

[meow]

I bought canesten wash from the chemist once but I'm pretty sure I've seen it in the supermarket with the laundry detergents too.

[melbel]

just from the supermarket...in the washing detergent aisle, usually next to the dettol rinse (same stuff, different name)

Spam me with some good dedicated night nappies folks.......Mr C is sleeping 8-10 hours at night now and I need a good night nappy for him.....preference is for fitteds so I can make use of the nice woolen soakers I have......not a fan of pul or fleece/artficial fibres for overnight.
