I'm looking forward to fluffy mail - only problem is, I don't know what I'm getting - I won one of the daily prizes for the GDUNH but I can't check what the actual prize was for that day.
I just thought I’d pop in here and introduce myself. I’m Rachel, I’m one of your new mods in here (seeing as Raven, Suse and Tanya have all given away the mod thing *sob*).
I cut my BellyBelly teeth in this thread a few years ago now and I am a committed and passionate cloth nappy user (but I haven’t actually hung out in here for ages).
I’m just doing a bit of housekeeping/tidying around here atm. Quite a few of the links in the sticky posts don’t work. They may or may not be fixed over the next few weeks, for some it’s a server update thing, for others they’re just old. Anyway, I will get to them eventually.
I’d really like to pick up where Raven left off with this thread https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...ry-118472.html and I have added a couple of posts. Can any of you suggest any edits to the second post, the list of brands and stores. For example Baby Beehinds aren’t WAHM anymore, they’re made in china now aren’t they?
And of course if there is anything else I can help you with around here, or if you have any great suggestions please don’t hesitate to contact me (PM is best).
That’s all. Lovely to meet you all and congrats to those with new bubs in fluff.
Hey Epacris!!! Nice to see you in here. I had no idea the other ladies had relinquished their moderator roles. That's a great page you and Raven have set up there.
LOL Tali you are doing very well. I was so terribly addicted till I found out what I really loved, in the end I guess that was part of the reason why I set up a buy/sell used mcn kinda store........... all closed now though.
I love our stash, and it's great that our little squish is to be a girl, it means they all get to be used all over again. But our whole stash is pretty much the same brands, regardless of sizes..... I like to keep everything in sets of 6 or 12..... bit anal :P
DD is definitely wanting to TT. She was free bumming and went into the toilet and yelled til i held her over it today... She did a wee I'm so proud. I guess it's time to TTC 2 so I can avoid fluff withdrawals
Epacris, Welcome as a mod hun. I sent a message to you with a link for your glossary thingo!
WOCB: Sposie because we're flying tomoz and with Melb rain I can't get fluff dry ; ;
Hi ladies I wanted to drop in with a couple of questions and a BIG thank you to all the girls who have helped me prior to bubs being born with all my questions on MCN's I am LOVING my cloth! I have ended up using prefolds with BBH's covers NB size which have been really good so far and I think bubs will be able to wear them for a while longer even with a growth spurt. I had some bamboo terry prefolds which were great for using with a snappy but now bubs is a bit bigger (and I think they have fluffed up more or shrunk in the wash) the snappy doesn't go around and they seem to be a bit bulky compared to my bamboo fleece fold ups which are the BBH's boosters. I think I like them the best as they dry faster being a single layer and the cover feels dry to touch after the bamboo is saturated so it only needs airing. I've also tried some on my microfiber boosters inside a cover with a microfleece liner on top and that works well as it's a slim line nappy and absorbs enough for my little bub at the moment however the cover feels and look wet after a wee so I don't like to reuse it so I end up going through more covers.
I haven't had any leaks with the cloth but I was wondering if anyone found the covers with leg gussets better? I imagine as bub gets bigger so will the poos so the BBH's mightn't cut it in the containment side of things with a prefold inside that isn't snappy'd
Anyway my MIL gave me a sewing machine as a baby gift so yippppppie I now get to make my own stuff I would like to know how fast cotton velour dries is it like a regular cotton top or does it take much longer like bamboo? I'm thinking of making some wipes out of it as I'm currently using chux cloths and throwing them in the wash which has been fantastic especially as they come out of the wash pretty much dry and they are soft when wet. But I wouldn't mind moving onto something a bit nicer if they will also dry fast and be really soft of bubs bottom.
What are the best websites to buy fabrics from? I might go online shopping today and get some stuff for the wipes and even some more bamboo to make my own prefolds YAY
