Sorry about the BFN x
Picked up some more itties today off the lovely Lee:-)! Very exciting! Such beautiful colours! Had to hide them from DH though.. He'll freak if he knows I bought more already! Hehe! Will have to slowly bring one or two out of hiding at a time so he doesn't notice..... Oh my gosh this really is an addiction!!!! Haha!!
WOAB: Sposie for bed
BBH are giving away a free petite when you find their icon & buy $25 worth of stuff & I'm so tempted. I have enough nappies and DH said he'll TT soon (ha, DS1 TT'd at 2 1/2), but surely he'll grow out if his medium ittis & small BBH sometime. So enable me! He's just under 9kg & still fits fine in his small Magic-all so I'm tempted to buy a medium & get a medium Petite in red & they can be his christmas nappies. Of course I'd have to find the icon and dunno if I will.
WOIB: Zappy with mother-eze airflow. Ihave to hang the washing out, I've run out of decent fitteds, see I don't have enough
OMG! The heat here has magnified the smell of the nappy bucket! My nose was burning when I loaded the nappies into the wash. They're having a good soak out in the sun with water and lavender oil to make sure there is nothing crusty in there.
WOCB: Tequila sunrise Abby Gro. Teething something horrid so been asleep for 3 hours
I'm getting a BBH - but do I get a Brown Magic-all or a black petite-in-II? I'm worried that brown will look ....pooey. Decisions, decisions
You already heard my opinion Snowy :)
I used bicarb in the wash yesterday and it got rid of the ammonia smell that was on my (well, Archie's!) nappies! Woohoo! I also have some rocking green to try. Can you use bicarb in every wash?
WOAB: Teal Itti D'Lish SIO
the brown ones look nice like dark brown not like poo lol
WOMB: sposie
WOSB: huckleberry minky DM :)
I love brown! Think chocolate and teddy bears, not poo!
I wanna use my fluffffffffff!!!
I got the brown Magic-all, now to stalk the postie!
WOIB: Mandy Mac purple night & Disdina wool soaker
I bought a couple of the BBh chocolate brown minkee magicalls for my toddler. They were the best - very cute but never showed up the dirt. These became my mainstay in the summer when all a kid wanted to wear was a nappy but all a toddler wanted to do was find the dirt!
WOSB - Small red slushie Nicnap
Does anyone else have the problem of staining on the outside of their PUL nappies? I have a couple of BBH Magicall's that are stained from crawling etc! I have just washed them all in RG so i'll see if that helps. I definately prefer minky for that reason!
WOAB: (suprise suprise..!) Itti D'Lish SIO Royal Blue
no idea but i do have a couple that have stains one from last summer when he was eating oily chips lol its probably a bit late for that one lol
gotta get nappies for jazzy prefolds just dont cut it im over changing her every hour and over wet clothes i like ecobubs and baby safari any other ideas?
Yeah, I use Bicarb in every wash. I have a front loader and the pre soak compartment I put a tablespoon of bicarb, detergent section I use the RG. I found no matter what detergent I use there is always a smell in DDs nappies unless I put the bi carb in. She has nasty smelling wee with the canines coming through.:
WOCB: Pink skulls Abby Gro and she's mid poo. I think i'm going to duck into the shower so DP changes it lol!
triple J - I am loving the lushies, they are great - still a bit bulky on her but hey they hold the wee! Widdlewuns are fantastic too, she uses a really thick bamboo and they are soooooo thirsty.
WOMB - fairyfloss/cupcake sugarshots! pocket
WOAB - widdlewun
Is that similar bamboo texture to the BBH boosters on the widdlewuns?
WOCB: Pink/yellow tie dye abby gro
Yep CL the thickness is similar to the BBH booster (the ones that slide into the magicall pockets) really thick though :) I love them
Well, Laa has 8 nappies on the line - The Squish has 16. I hope this warmer weather keeps up otherwise I am going to run out for the Squish!
WOMB - choc/fuscia beetlebum mashup
WOAB - choc marble widdlewun
:
That's what Abby Gro uses too. Fantastic wee containment! The thinner bamboo just doesn't seem to cut it now.
WOCB: Pastel rainbow Abby Gro
I'm bit confused about sizes of nappies. My stash is mainly BBH, itti bitts, green kids and some fitteds i have forgotten the name of -great for newborns though!
My little one still fits into small BBH PUL pockets. She has medium itti bittis but the other day i got some large itti bittis for a good price so got them now and DH just grabbed one and put it on her when he changed her and these fit ok too! The greenkids (not my favs) are OSFM and are a bit bulky but have still fit for a few months now. How do these nappies still fit when you have a toddler in nappies? My bub is average sized, certainly not a big bub in weight if you a big bub who is 2 and still in nappies do you have trouble getting ones that fit?
I think it depends on the build of the baby too. Also toddlers tend to be thinner builds because of walking. The brands do have different versions of "large" meaning one brand's large will be another's medium in size etc
Fluffy Mail! Brown Magic-all & Red Petite-in-II. I got an e-mail this morning at 5:45 from BBH saying my order had been shipped and it turned up at 3pm. I've washed them & they'll have their first use tomorrow for a very short time. Goodness, the petite is tiny!
WOIB: Cute Tooshie Bamboo delite & Africa Mother-eze Rikki and apart from that he's nude.
Snowy, are you happy with the brown of the Magicall or does it look... 'pooey'?? :lol:
Yes, I'm happy with it, not pooey at all - I would have taken a photo, but I (or DS1) have lost my camera.
im waiting for fluffy mail =] small magicalls and a pair of rainbow longies i love getting fluffy mail oh and jazzy's commemorative birth certificate
WOMB: yellow baby safari V2 like them might get some for jazzy but if i like the magicalls i might get them instead
WOSB: small ecobubs brown and pink stripes
Heya lovelies.... Long time, no post!
I'm STILL waiting on those CTs that took a detour to Tassie lmao...
Anybody that doesn't already know; had my wee man on the 7th & we've been happily in cloth from the get-go. A surprise for me though is that we've only used flats maybe twice...? I have enough other nappies that fit well (OSFM; he was born weighing 4.2kg) to only have them as back up - they are so much bulkier on a nb than I remember lol, but with Punk I didn't have any MCN straight off the bat so that's probably why I was okay with them then.
Waiting on some Rumparooz I laybyed, oh how I luff them!
WOSB (Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - so long since I've written that!!): Happy Heinys cow print OSFM.
GRATS QM! That's a big bubba! I don't think I would have been able to use flats on DD at birth because she was only 2.1kg. A face washer as a nappy maybe lol ! Been so strung out here because DD is going through a disobedient streak. I made a 7 day plan to break her bad sleeping habits (going to sleep on the bottle). I told her she was a big girl and doesn't need it now.
I almost lost 7 of my MCNs to a stray cat attacking my clothes horse. He ripped them off and the claws came out but I managed to chase him away before he started shredding. They were all on the ground, no damage which I'm glad about. If it's not gone by saturday it's going to the lost cats home. A really nasty kitten it is!
WOCB: Medium BBH pink magicall. I had to put a trifold in rather then the booster for nap time.
fluffy mail woo hoo a pair of rainbow longies for jamie =] still got BBH's to come and a sugarshots! i bought last night :o naughty me lol
WOMB: pul pocket
WOSB: iish fly prefold and maz animal fleece NB cover almost outgrown =[
HAHAHA! I just had a giggle reading That's Life magazine. A lady was saying to stop her child getting nappy rash with disposable nappies, she puts a cloth liner in. It sounds like she needs to be introduced to the wonderful world of MCN's
WOCB: Still the BBH and still napping
Oooh TripleJ; rainbow longies, yum!
Mel, Soooooooo funny! What a possessed, MCN hating cat! Glad you were able to save your nappies lmao. I don't think I'd know what to do with such a wee bubba - Punk was almost 4kg too. As for the That's Life woman.... *sigh*
WOSB: Issy Bear
QueenMab, Congratulations on your little man!
CrazyLady, EEEEKK Darn cat!!!
TripleJ, Naughty naughty! I have to hold myself back! I have plently for now!
Well, I'll be needing your advice on whats best for newborns soon as... I'm pregnant! And very happy about it too :)
WOAB: Royal Blue Itti D'Lish SIO
GRATS STOKED! Woohoo, tiny fluffy butt collection to put together!
The stray cat is utterly evil and keeps swiping at my very placid cat's face! He jumped on my lap the first day and i violently shuddered which was odd! He gives me a creepy feeling!
WOCB: Huckleberry Abby Gro with minky lining. mmmmmmmmmmmm minky!
sweet congrats stoked
more money spent 3 more BBH magicalls cant believe shes upgraded from prefolds already :(
WOMB: sposie and maz zebra cover
WOSB: huckleberry DM
Congratulations Stoked :)
I bought a BBH cover today - limited edition, looks so quite, all swirly and girly.
Does everyone use liners? Just wondering what brand you use? I am not fussy on brands but cut some of them into 1/3rds to make them go further and really, they are far too big.
THanks :)
we use microfleece liners so cheap and u just throw them out after they get a bit yucky :)
Well I'm coming back to this thread now I'm actively into our cloth! Hope you'll have me back. You probably don't remember me anyway haha
Only took ten months but ds finally fits his Cts! Only have a few but he's wearing them and good old fashioned Terry flats to cruise around the house in. Sometimes I pop in a bamboo booster so they last a while longer cos I don't have covers. Yet ;)
Got an Itti tutto coming to try and a Bumsup (it was cheap, and I haven't tried pockets yet ;))
Hi Helle :)
Thanks J, I might look out for them.
Welcome back hun! I remember if that counts :lol: Of course we'll have ya back!:
Thanks Loveys! I was "Teagz" but thought it was time for an upgrade ;)
haha, I remembered your sig but couldn't quite remember what name it went with lol. I knew you were familiar
Oops - sorry crazylady for calling you Mel! ;) bad eyes + typing on an iPod make for such mistakes lol
I've been called worse :lol: I am the leader of the airheads lately trying to break DD's bad sleeping habits so I have more brain farts then most people :P:
woo hoo fluffy mail again lol 2 minky magicalls she has one on now its fits awesome and will fir for a while yet might have to start selling the prefolds so i can get some more =]
WOMB: pul pocket
WOSB: pink minky magicall =]
