my god u chatter boxes!!! i had to read from pg 5 to catch up!!!
no nappy news here, im on a ban til feb at least.
ive been REALLY slack with washing so we have had a few leaks using our last resort nappies..also helped by the fact that DF has been on hols so has been changing the majority of nappies...it will be a nasty shock on monday when hes back at work

all this talk of soaking etc, i realised almost all my nappies are stained in some way and i dont think they are coming out of the machine very clean... maybe im doing it wrong?
i have been putting the nappies in the machine (top loader) on maxi wash with about a teaspoon or 2 of biozet and tea tree oil in the fabric softener bit. i havnt ever done a soak or strip wash (not even sure wat that is really). please advise my sleep addled brain how to make my nappies all nice again.

sigh bbl i have a velcro baby lol

Stains aren't anything to be wary of, or even ashamed of!! My nappies come out stained, but they have washed properly - so please don't think that your nappies aren't getting clean enough. The sun gets rid of stains anyway so as long as they are getting a good sunning, they will be fine.

Oh - and I've read that biozet is not good for nappies - or anything really with a whitening agent.

Currently de-stashing. Just waiting for a friend to have time to go through my piles of nappies then I'll have to list them somewhere. I thought it would be harder to part with some of these nappies, but I'm just at that stage in my de-cluttering that I know they have to go. I've also got boxes of baby girls clothes to get rid of, can't believe how much one little girl has accumulated.

Yup, yup. steer clear of any "brightening agents". Woolies has eco store powder on special too (Helle) not sure if it's as cheap as you can usually get it though. All nappies are bound to get stained. As long as there isn't a funky smell then it should be good.

Mel- it's funny how bubs are usually born on their birthday hey?

oooooooo, I never thought of that! DP has been really good with his alcohol consumption though and hasn't even had a beer most nights.

we have HEAPS of nappies lately stained....all because of Jack eating blueberries, raspberries, peaches & nectarines

When I bought some cheap wahm nappies off ebay, the seller suggested rubbing a bit of lemon oil on stains i think? or was it euculyptus... I haven't needed to find out yet.

How much was it CL? it's usually 6 something but it's been five a couple times.

On top of my three tuttos and my AG I now have 3 Bumsup pockets coming oh and can't forget the wet bag!!

It was 6 something Helle. I was going to try it anyway so I just considered it a bonus that it was on special. It brought my nappies up beautifully. It's even attacked the black stains from the brauer's doses a while back.

DD is doing poo central today and my tummy is super queasy so DP has been handling them. I knew there was a reason I bred with that man

Don't ya love it when you have a won?

Guess what? The peapods I have finally fit DD and they are working! We have NEVER been big peapod fans as they have been a funny fit but they now fit DD on the smallest setting. DH likes them because they wash and dry so easily compared to the BBH, itti's etc.

We are going to NZ in a couple of weeks and have decided to use sposies while we are away just for ease. We were really considering doing cloth but then realised we probably can't bring dirty nappies back into the country nor do we really want to - LOL. However, DD sleeps through most nights or wakes once and we don't change her nappy until the morning. Sometimes the BBH night nappy is sooo heavy but we never get any leaks. I'm wondering how the sposie could possibly hold everything overnight. Do you ladies think a PUL cover over the sposie might be worthwhile?

DD has also gone on a poo spree and done 5 in the last couple of days. Must be solids?

I had a win today. My girlfriend is 15 weeks pregnant and I told her I had bought her a cloth nappy because I am giving everyone ONE so that at least they have one nappy that can be reused. She then said that she was pretty interested in using them and her DH piped up and said he didn't care either way!! So she is considering getting her Mum to make some or buying online. So YAY another convert

Only 5 in 2 days? lol, my DD has been filling her pants ever 1.5 hours. If she's still doing it monday can we swap DD's so I don't hurl everywhere?

I love when people convert. I said to my sister "even if you only use them at home you save money and waste." She liked the idea so I bought her a half dozen. My younger sister was saying that she's always got some in the nappy bucket so older sis uses them. Older sister's DP refuses though. Not all men can be as gorgeous as my DP

WOCB: ummmmmmmmm..... Tequila sunrise Abby Gro. I was trying to remember what I dug out for DP
