Cloth Nappies General Discussion #191

oooh mcn thread...this is bound to get me in trouble!
I love my mcn's/

I actually just bought the itti bitti "dream up an itti" nappy on the FB Flood appeal auction!!

---

Wow BabyWrangler you're so generous! I got a tutto in that auction (have yet to send off the receipt) Can't wait to see what you get.

I had to buy sposies 'cause I'm back at work Mondays & Tuesdays & I don't have enough pockets to send to childcare 2 days in a row. I don't want to send my minky nappies 'cause I don't want them covered in paint or filled with sand, am I being precious? I've got a couple smooth BBHs comming from a BB member so hopefully I'll have enough when they come.

WOIB: MandyMac purple night and Disdina wool soaker

Hoping to be trying out a tutto soon. If they work I'll be getting more.

What size sposie would I need for a skinny 3 monther? About 6kgs??
Hoping to take cloth, but with no machine I'm not sure I can... Away for a wedding for the weekend.

I would say infant size (if you're planning on getting huggies) I think the weight range is 4-8kg (don't quote me tho!). Archie is still in crawlers now and he's 13 months and about 9kg.

I would say Infant ( huggies) too DS is 7 weeks old weighs 5ish Kg and he is wearing them but they are huge on him.

well i jsut ordered my first thing!! I bought a small blue twinkle lilly cover! Going to buy some flats to help me get by while i increase my stash!
I have also finally talked DH into letting me buy 6 Tuttos on friday!!! WOOHOO!!

Soo tell me about cloth wipes.. what do you use how do you use them? do you use them when you go out?

i think i might skip the WOXB for a bit :( lol

When you buy flats, buy flanny ones, the Big Softies brand, you will have to hunt them down, but Target do stock them, so keep harassing them. they are the bomb.

Why do you prefer these Lime? I've only ever used Flanny ones at the hospital with DD (11 years ago!) so can't remember to compare!

Why do you suggest those over Bamboo Limey? Just wondering because I'm starting my research. Hoping I don't have a small bub this time around but my BP is up and down so trying to be prepared either way. A lady at playgroup was using face washers on her son for the first 5 weeks :o he was tiny!

ETA: lol Stoked! I had the page sitting idle for 10 mins and didn't see your post

I've seen them in target once, one packet and someone had totally pulled the packet apart. Boo.

Clover, if you have an Aldi nearby, grab Aldi sposies - cheaper than Huggies & better (IMO). Not sure about the weight range though, but it should be on the pack.

Someone linked me to a sale on FB :( and I have seen a couple that look very cute.... I'm trying to decide is it worth the drama with DH.... :think:

Thanks all for the sposie advice :)

I asked DH what he thinks I should do, & I know he doesn't care either way, but he's gotta bring a boat motor back with us (:rolleyes:), so I really don't think there'll be room for my nappy box!! Not for enough to do no washing anyway.
And there's the flooding problem. Last time we were out there we got flooded in. Constant rain, no washing machine & no way to get sposies isn't worth the risk! lol
Last time I used them I just got home brand ones. I think I should get Huggies this time, coz she got a rash from the home brand ones. Hoping Huggies don't do it too...
I do have an Aldi... an hour away & in the wrong direction to pick them up on the way through :(

:( the clouds are back! Not impressed!! Oh well. Nappies scored a heap of sun the past few days :)

WOSB - MAL nn (still in bed!)

with sposies i preferd the baby love over huggies, a little cheeper and held out better at night, but thats my opinion, it the same with cloth, you have your own opinions and prefrences. not sure on sizes tho, dd was out of newborn by 3 weeks and just kept outgrowing each size, im sure the last lot she was in wouldnt fit her now either! good luck, if you have liners, could you use them for the sposies? even if its overnight ones so she hasnt got skin contact with them for to long?

WOKB: giraffe cushie

We use huggies here at night, those and the Coles gumnut ones are the only ones that hold up overnight with both girls.

Mummyof4 - flanny flats aren't as bulky as terry flats :) Having said that, I gave all my flanny flats to someone when they were expecting a baby and they never gave them back to me, so all I've got is terry flats to use here. I doubt anywhere in tassie would stock flanny flats. Oh and with cloth wipes, I take a little pop top of water with me to use when we are out, but most of the time I'm at a friend's house where I can just wet them like I would at home. No biggy :)

All newborn fluff is put away now - the Widdlewuns are sooooo teeeeny tiny!! Very gorgeous!! And I get to pay off my layby today with Christie, very excited!!! Dh's nan put some money in our bank account for xmas - soooo wooohooo - nappies for melly!! errr I mean the kids.....

I had the same conversation with mum the other day when she rocked up with J's nappies as apart of his birthday present. Who are they really for? Me or him ;)

...might hafta get some flanny flats. I'll use em on the next one, right?

Also, do you think it'll be ok to soak a wool cover in ecostore soak stuff? DS has spilled a bucket load of crap over his and it's starting to really show. Spaghetti we had last night was the last straw!

MO4, I just use cheapo flannels from woolies, $5 for ten. Those Itti bitti ones we got as freebees I don't really like, they're too smooth to scrape poo off a dirty bum with XD
I use sposies when we go out tho, i dont know why cos i still end up bringing them home with me to throw away cos i HATE opening those nappy bins in the change rooms. J poos like clockwork tho and I can usually get it done and dusted before we go out into public XP

Eta: never mind read the instructions. No woolens! :(

ok, i have tried the tuttio yesterday, yup i love it more then the dlish, only not sure how long it will last on dd, she is 11 months and it dose up on the seccond last snaps... and shes getting chunkier.. but its definatly a better all round fit (itms?)
not sure on cloth wipes, im contemplating getting some, im sick of needing wipes and the kids have goten to them and theres only just enough for one poop left!
i just had a phone call from the lady at wild child thanking me for my patience waiting for my order while they are in the floods and that it has been posted for me, i hope that its a good fit here, with service like that i think ill be getting some more! (if they fit right!)
oh, after 5 washes in the machine, one being a strip, all the nappies barr one and 2 boosters are free from that cr*p df spilt on them, its not my fave one, but still... hope we get some sun in the next few days and ill chuck it on the line hopefully it just needs some sun.

WOKB: baby hosen

wow lots of chatter in here at the moment!

good luck with the wild child and its fit sarah!

afm, hoping to get a few dollars in so i can buy some more petites for DS. finding i love the fit on him and they pretty much dont leak unless he has been in the just a little too long then he does a mega wee and well outwees it.

WOHB - pea pod.

just bought 2 more fitteds :) damn!!! i need to egt preggers!!!!! DH will kill me!!!!! they are mediums BUT having said that they are 4-10kgs....and my last bubba was 4.265kgs :)

was wondering why i wasnt getting notifications!!!
not alot going on here, just plodding around the house. cant remember which of bubs nappies ive washed and which i havent :S

WOIB- junglebums with fairy embroidery, so cute

I'm gonna give the prefolds another go before I sell on ;)
They still fit & look SO cute!!!

WOSB - Maz prefold & Maz cupcake cover. New Born cover!! lol

yeah i can get small maz covers on jamie still if hes in a sposie got some GK's to try and omg they fit both kiddies perfect i think i just got lucky with my kids coz there hasnt really been any nappy that dont suit i still dont like AI2's too hard to get the poo off all those layers lol and hes forgotten about velcro no pants on right now and he isnt bothered with it
