Cloth Nappies #189

[CrazyLady]

I had some microfibre inserts for nappies that I think work better to clean mirrors Meow. I am pretty sure it's the same stuff just woven differently. I always use rubber gloves while handling the cloths though because they kill your hands. I have been feeling soooooooooooo queasy all day and had to sneakily hurl at playgroup. The smell of buttered popcorn apparently triggeres morning sickness... It has been raining all day so lucky I didn't put a fluff load on. The abby gro where I shattered the snap is en route back too so I am expecting old but new fluffy mail :P

WOCB: Citrus slush abby gro

Got a question for you cloth nappying experts... I have some eenees microfibre prefolds which I nev er use as its too much faffing around having to put a liner between the microfibre and babys bot. Can I use them as cleaning cloths? Are the microfibre cleaning cloths at the shops just the same stuff?

WOFB: bambineo fitted and PUL cover

Yup. In fact, if you like microfibre inserts (yuck lol) you can buy cheap cleaning cloths and cut them up into boosters!!

Triple J - I am doing the same thing, putting all the NB stuff away already She is only 6 weeks old! Or should I say already? Her current stash is

12 lushies
12 Auriels (3 OTW)
6 widdlewuns
6 SS! Fitteds

Though I have to admit at the moment things are drying in 1 day so I do have plenty. Apart from all that rain last week, nappies were still taking 2 days. She is going through around 8 nappies a day. Laa went through around 12 at this age.

WOMB - Daddy currently changing her from circles/hot pink BB mashup into BB wooly night

I must be missing something wats CTBD? Anyone

Cute Tooshies Bamboo Delight. DH asked last night if we could use it after the bath - before we were anywhere near the change table! His second favourite is the Spunky Butts fitteds, then my homemade prefolds.

WONB: Kissaluv and blue Bummis cover. Bout to change her though, hmmmmm....

Oh, yeah, got the BBH petite down to $5 a wear. DH calls it "that weird green one"

[*TripleJ*]

lol weird green one DH wouldnt even know where to start with a petite lol

no fluffy mail on its way coz ive been a good girl but we do have a sling coming for jazz coz the Hug a bub and the beco take too long maybe will be better when shes older and her head is still floppy it will make daycare drop off and pickup a little easier and quick trips to the shop

WOMB: sposie was day care day
WOSB: purple magicall

[~Lashes~]

ok, ive broken my not buying anymore till next year... got a medium pea pod and night booster in the mail today and might be getting a angeltears.... got to check my bank first. they any good?

WOKB babyhosen, but going for a change, i think it needs a bio hazzard on the bum now!!

[helle]

Ok ladies I have a situation.

Ds is on ABs as he has tonsillitis. He's on the mend now but the ABs are giving him the most horrible runny poos ever and they have stained my TL wool cover, flat and a couple of boosters. Any idea how I can get it out? Needless to say we are is sposies and his poor little butt is so red raw, he cries when I wipe it

[~clover~]

Sun hasn't worked? Maybe a strip wash??

[helle]

Haven't tried yet. It's a pretty hard core stain tho.
Can you strip wash wool?

[CrazyLady]

no, because a strip wash is a hot wash, it'd shrink. Try a bit of napisan paste on it. That might just do the trick. Make sure you wash in cold or they'll become doll's soakers


DD smells like poo! That is all

WOCB: POO

Napisan paste??

[melbel]

napisan paste is mix napisan with an teensie bit of water to form a paste and smear on the stain....leave to develop then rinse out in cold/lukewarm water

[CrazyLady]

lol, thanks Melbel. Sorry Helle I went to reply but DD started being a pain in the rear. If you make the paste thick enough then you can just dab it on the areas where it is really needed.

[Kazbah]

Heys ladies and germs

I'm baaaaaack!!!! Little Master William has been in cloth since birth, although I did :blush: use some disposable wipes on the mencomium (sp?) at home. First nappy cover at hospy was a Maz xmas one. Doing the first load tomorrow morning!

WoWB - "freshly baked" widdlewun

[CrazyLady]

Welcome back Kaz. Grats again on the arrival of William!

I had my first ever load of fluff that wasn't destunk by RG today. It was putrid poo smell and had to run the machine again. first load ever (3 months almost) that has happened to.

WOCB: Sposie. we tried the night nappy again and 2 sheet changes later realised epic fail

[1MOREPLZ]

got my 4 NB fattycakes yesturday....oh my they are DEVINE!!!!!! they are made from soy velour and hand dyed
Jack 'hugged'them all and kissed them it was sooo cute <3
now.... to get the BFP and have a NB butt for the nappies


who asked about the angeltears?? they are GREAT nappies we have HEAPS of them here but may have to get extra large sized ones....as the larges we have are getting to low in the rise

[~clover~]

Sorry Helle, didn't think of the wool!

Welcome back Kaz Summer was in cloth in hossy too, til she had her final gp checkup & the mw put a sposie on her to go home. I didn't think to take any with me for that!
I used theirs.
I use mostly sposie wipes though... they are easier than going to the bathroom/kitchen every time. I dunno, the 4 kids & no time might just be an excuse, but it'll do me for now, lol!

Coffs to finish the christmas shopping today. Hectic!

WOSB - Daddle doo night nappy & jam tots pul cover (i really need more fleece ones!!)
WOJB - blue minky maz night nappy

[luna moth]

We were told not to take cloth to hospy, so bought a pack of sposies... and used 3. WASTE!

WONB: Purple Auriel... which I don't like the fit of! Boooooo.

[meow]

We used cotton wool pads with water as wipes for the first few weeks- so that's disposable! Kept using the cloth wipes for our older boy- it was just easier to cart the cotton wool around than hunt out cloth wipes all the time. Now Im a little more organised we're using the cloth wipes for both of them. No disposable nappies so far

There is alot of newborn cloth going on in here at the moment- yay!!

WOEB: Blue bumgenius OSFM
