ooh new thread!!

[maz]

Tank didnt do number 2's for 2 days and of course we plan on going out last night and he fill's 2 nappies in a row ....at dinner we smell a familiar smell and when we got home it was half up his back, then he goes and does another whopper in his night nappy I cant believe how much there was!!! blahhhhhh

Lets hope today is a slow poo day :fingercross:

[luna moth]

oh hai!

maz - I remember dealing with a poo backlog when I was nannying. It was everywhere, this kid who wouldn't poo at childcare, where she was for two days in a row before I had her. So every Wednesday, WHAM! Grosssssssss. Your new ticker is uber cute.

I am inches off making some prefolds, and the only thing holding me back is deciding what combos of fabric to use. I have a boatload of bamboo to use, but it's not snappi-able. So was thinking about putting some terry on there for snappis - maybe in a sort of "T" configuration on the back? That way the folded in bits that touch the but would still be nice absorbent stuff, but there's still plenty of snappi-space. Perfect for DH, a total nappy noob.

This has become particularly important after using some Coles nappy pins through the week on the baby dolls at work - they are wearing face washers as nappies at the moment, and pinning is just such a pain in the hole! Although maybe it's the cheapo pins, I dunno.

on the nappies that cant have snappis im just gonna fold them on coz the cover should be snug enough to keep it in place at the moment with DS i use the pad fold put it in a cover then put it on him

WOJB: CGR raspberry monkeys its my fav nappy =]

So that works? Awesome. Was sort of wondering if it might. So in that case I might do just bamboo inner with flanno backing.

I'm also knocking up some cloth wipes at the moment, out of whatever bits and pieces I can find...

Anyone used a swaddlebees cover? I got it with some fitters for nights. (trialling during the day at the moment while building absorbency) it's a medium but seems too small for Nao. I have a large loveybums as well but it's too big?

Is the swaddlebees just a weird size or have I done it wrong or something?
The fitteds are cute tooshies bamboo.

Ta.

[Arimeh]

Tam - I found the swaddlebees slightly smaller in size than the BBH covers if that helps? But I mainly used the ME covers so I can't really remember... I know I had some bummis, a thirsties, swaddlebee, bbh and another one in my past stashes.. LOL

[Kamarine]

Makes me feel a bit better. Lol. I didn't really want it, but I was too polite to say I'll take the fitteds and get the fleece cover from elsewhere.
It baaaaarely fits the poor tyke.

Thanks Mel.

Fluffy mail!!!

I received my 3 bambam deluxe fitteds from bubblebubs yesterday. They are super soft and lovely. They're the first fitteds I have that will need a snappi too. They have a trifold lay-in booster that I think kind of bulks them out a bit... I'm thinking it would be likely I could just use them without the booster from birth then add the booster in when needed? I know that makes the whole thing less absorbent but surely if flannel flats are good enough that early on...? Anyone else left out the boosters at the beginning?

[Snowy Love]

Meow, I had the previous Bambams (not deluxe) & I felt the booster was necessary. Mine were only bifolds though. They've fallen apart now, dunno whether I snappi'd too hard or left them too long between washes, but I liked them while they lasted.

[meow]

Ahh okay- thanks! I guess maybe now these nappies have hemp in them they might be stronger- but it's a bugger yours have fallen apart! Luckily I won mine so they are free!

[AngelPants]

i have a bambam and its my fav fitted, i am getting around to getting more....

fluffmail (2nd hand) med swaddlebees in a very manly pink and orange spots and a fitted, cant remember the brand, its in the wash already.

wocb- strawberry bambooty thats almost too small (it will be our 1st nappy to be grown out of )

[Pandora]

Wasn't sure where to spread my rockin green love - not nappies but I washed the boys whites and oscars grobags yesterday, no soaking and only on medium temp in the machine and I am rapt with the results. It got all the marks around the neckline of the grobag ( where he sucks on it, ew!) out, which even sard spray could not getvrid of. Everything has come up really well and without an overpowering fragrance ( I used the orange sample) Love it!

[Asparagus and Lemons]

I bought 8 samples last week and did my first wash with rockin green today. It was a nappy + light colours wash, and everything feels softer and looks brighter. Sort of the same affect that nappisan has on clothes. But when it came out there was no smell.. similar to washing with bi-carb.
Our nappies are still quite new looking, although some of them had gone a greyish colour, but the rockin green made those ones white again. BUT that could be our new washing machine?!
Not sure what the hype about it is. I do like my bi-carb.

wohb - A gorgeous maz bumblebee cover

[Arimeh]

If it helps, I found Rockin Green made my nappies more absorbent, not less

[Feijoa Mum]

How sad am I?
I just got so excited about the fact my nappies are dry so I have just put them on for their third pre wash.
I want to use them NOW!!

I am using an itti bitti at the moment with no probs so far. The Bum cheeks take awhile to dry but again no issues and my Genesa Forge is about to make its debut as soon as lady wakes up.

I have BBH, bubblebees, widdlewuns, daddledoos and bonnibuns all set to trial as long as the weather co operates
