Hey Poopie! Goodness I must have been living under a rock or somthing, I didn't even know you had your bub, I can't believe she's a month old already!
Might have a look at those.
Does anyone have any Mini Lala's?? I'm only looking at buying 1 cuz they're cute but wont bother if they're duds!
we have three minilalas and they're not bad.....we have the cotton print ones so they are not a long long lasting one but pretty good....i brckon their new poly print ones would be awesome!
Right, I didn't even realise they had different ones so I will have a good look before I make my purchase! Thank you!
well DS has had a shocking nappy rash which despite using creams and powders i couldnt get rid of it so i put him in disposables for a couple of days and used copious amounts of sudocream and washed all of his nappies in dettol laundry rinse. put the cloth back on yesterday and i have noticed he is starting to get a red bottom again! anyone got any other suggestions?
could it be a reaction to the inners? are there any nappies that dont do that?
seems to be all nappies at the moment. it clears up with disposables but as soon as i put a cloth one back on it comes back. i always use liners too
Teresa - are you using cloth at night? Both DD's had shocking rash, so I got rid of my nappies with suedecloth inners, and stopped using cloth at night. That has stopped the rashes.
not for the last 3 or 4 days. he only had 2 cloth on yesterday and 2 on today before i put sposies back on. going to keep him sposies for another few days and see how i go. i only have one nappy with suedecloth inner, the rest are either bamboo fitteds or microfleece inners.
Yay! i love their wetbags. What pattern is it? Have recently got one of their wet/dry bags and they are great too. it is good to get a couple of different sizes so you are covered if you are out for the whole day as well as for short trips when you will only 1 or 2 nappy changes.:
Harlee gets a bit of nappy rash every few days, but it clears after a few hours when I use boob milk on her bum. I express some in a cup and use a cotton ball on her bum with it. So cheap and very effective!
No use if your not boobie feeding though.
lol stopped boobie feeding when he was 10 weeks old so nothing there!!!:
Bummer! Its the cheapest nappy rash cream I've found :lol:
lol nothing like freebies :D

Just popping my head in here...... my sister's DS (he's 21 now!) had a delicate little bum. He would break out in a horrible nappy rash but it was caused by ALL soap powders/ soakers. She ended up washing all of his clothes in Lux soap flakes. It was the only thing she could use up until he was about 3 or 4.:
thanks cass72. he comes from a long line of red heads and my grandma thinks he just might have that sort of skin that wont be able to cope too much in cloth!!! i am hoping she is wrong. i have been washing all of his nappies tho in bi carb so not sure. going to leave it anothe couple of days and try again
Fluff delivery! Not really mail, as I picked it up from SIL, but I got 4 x Bonnibuns pockets, 1 x Bonnibuns AIO, 1 x GF AIO, 1 x Bubblebubs GNST and one Ecobubs pocket, plus a heap of boosters and wipes. Half of it is stuff that I gave her and now I'm getting back, but whatever! It's so fluffy and good!
I was eyeballing the Bonnibuns when i was at Nest Nappies. They look goooood.
I'm waiting on some fluffy mail Maz and my Widdlewuns. She posted pics of them this morning and I wish I had them.
Does anyone find it hard to sell newborn stuff? I've been procrastinating for aaaaaages because I can't let it go.

have you tried silk liners?:
or even teh disposable ones?
i use the liners from woolies. havent tried silk ones tho.
teresa- have you tried the nappies without liners? I haven't heard good things about some of the supermarket disposable liners. They can hold all the moisture against the skin and cause the rash.
yeah i have. been using the liners now for a couple of months and have never had an issue with them. going to try cloth again tomorrow and see how i go.
thanks everyone for your input. really means alot. :hug:
well we have been back in cloth now for 48 hours and everything is looking great. still using disposables at night as i have no night nappies yet and it allows me to put some zinc cream if i need on his bottom. :D
Oh so excited.. I met somebody at the shops today..in the parents room, that also uses mcn's! Soo cool! Although she had 3kids I think and she said she'd never met another cloth user :(
poopie- ooh yay!!! how exciting, the only fellow mcn users ive met are the adelaide BB girls
tereasa- that sucks that DS gets rashes, we've not had any nappy rash here yet *touch wood* that is other than the horrible rash he had everywhere a couple of weeks ago...fingers crossed it clears up without having to go onto sposies permanently.
i have snapped the last week and we are back in sposies for now. i got behind when DF and i were sick and now 1) we are going away tomorrow for a week and 2) we r still short nappies that fit properly and im sick of all the extra washing. im thinking we need to do a big splurge (for us) and buy some new nappies of the types that fit rather than the 2nd hand collection of randoms that we have. so far the only ones that dont leak are the 4 ittis and 1 thirsties duo....
Hi ladies :hello: I'm new in here, just starting out with MCNs and this looks like a great thread. Hope it's okay for me to jump in.
I had a big lot of fluffy mail arrive this week :dance:
I got 2 Bonnibuns, 2 GF every days, 1 GF night nappy, 1 Monk n Bear, 1 Daddle Doo, 1 Twinkle Lily, 3 Itty Bitty d'lish, 2 BBH Petite, 1 Bumcheek. And a nice selection of extra boosters/inserts. Just waiting on 3 custom WiddleWuns, 2 GF and a Chloes Toes.
I've been busy washing them up so I can get started - I never thought I'd be so excited by washing :D Wonder which ones will become favourites. So far I've tried the Bumcheeks, a WiddleWuns and a Monk n Bear and I've liked all of them.
I'm lucky that one of my best friends has a bubba the same age as mine and we're sharing our newly found cloth addiction. We're both enablers though so there's no hope of recovery any time soon :rofl:
Can I ask what your preferences are for a flushable liner? I have some microfleece coming that I intend to cut up and use if I need to use cream but thought it would be handy to have flushables too. I have a couple of silk liners just in case he gets a rash but I'm not so keen on the hand-washing so I'll only use them if I need to.
Jandals xo
And could someone please educate me and tell me what WOEB and WOSB means? I'm such a newbie :redface:
WOEB = whats on "insert childs initial here" bottom
so yours would be WOTB..
HTH..
finally getting abck into night time cloth, been slack as weatehr here hasnt allowed ours to dry, so i pulled my finger out and actually made DD some night nappies, lol so busy making them for everyone else.. ;P
oh jandals. you have made a great choice, cloth addiction is a great one.
except hubby usually doesn't agree
oh i dont use liners, found the disposable ones gave her a rash and no rash since only having the bamboo against her skin
WOMB: kawazukee long haul.. :D
Rockin Green is in stock at Ninky Bear.... but it's selling out FAST!!
Thanks Kawazuki :D I know what you mean about DH not sharing the joy of cloth :rolleyes:
I'm having problems at the moment. I can't stop buying different nappies to try! The latest is 2 Bambooty's. I just know I'm going to get the hard word from DH soon as we really can't afford the amount I've been spending but I argue it will save us money in the long run.
Do any of you like BBH Petites? They seem to cut into DS as the elastic is pretty tight - he's still at the lighter end of the weight range for a medium so I wouldn't have thought he needed a large. Just wondering if there's any secret to getting them to fit well without cutting in? Maybe they will be hanging out towards the bottom of the pile for us.
Itty Bitty d'lish, GF and Widdle Wun`s are my top three today.
WOTB: Bonnibuns
Oh, and how many of you use Rockin' Green?
I use BBH petites! We just started using the medium size and that has really helped with the cutting in factor but yes, I agree they do seem to be on the smaller side. Are yours new? I only ask because apparently they have changed their sizing to increase for the thigh area.
I am also interested in the Rockin Green stuff - how many of you are using it? Do you use it for MCN's and clothes? We use aware sensitive and find it great but I keep hearing rave reviews about the rockin green so maybe I should find out what the fuss is about.
WOHB: BBH Night Nappy with Thirsties cover
i havent tried petites yet got a large for jamie coz i thought it would fit but its just too big for him
wish i coudl afford to use the rockin green all the time but its a little expensive
im being lazy at the moment and using sposies at night
WOJB: sposie and maz zebra cover
I used a sample of Rockin Green and I wasn't sure about it at first but I realised the nappies I soaked & washed with it were SO much softer. The microfibre inserts had been going a little 'crunchy' and they feel like new again. It's super expensive so I wont be using it all the time but I want to soak all the new baby's nappies (all second hand or hand-me-downs) so they are fresh and I'll use it every now and again for a good wash.
