Finally found a night combo that works for ds!! I got some issy bear inserts for half price so insm using two night inserts in a minky pocket and it worked, it survived a bottle and a poo, will try all three tonight.
I think I have to sell or swap my tutto's ob mcn as they just leak on both Ds and dd.

Guess what - I found nappies that I had forgotten I bought! WOohoo! It's like fluffy mail that is prepaid and here right now :D
Score!!:
Ladies... Would polarfleece work as liners? Or does it repel water?
helle - i am not sure. i am pretty sure i have read somewhere that u can tho. not 100% on that one tho
You can use polar fleece as long as it's 100% polyester. Microfleece is better because it doesn't pill though.:
HTH!
Nappy news: My darling younger sister got 3 metres of nappy flannelette for me! I'm gonna be busy soon hemming some flates. I think it was $3 a mtr and wide enough to make 4 per metre by the time I hemmed them! That's 12 flats for $9 so not bad!
is that when it balls up?:
I was given a polar fleece rug for DS's when he was born... he has a 100 rugs, so i thought i'd chop this one up seeing it has no sentimental value ><;
Yeah, when it balls up it'd feel like crumbs in bub's nappy. Like those cheap and nasty sheets from woolies that feel like someone has eaten toast in the bed. You can get anti pill polar fleece but once again just make sure it's 100% polyester. If it's a playrug that hasn't gone bally and is 100% poly it'd probably work. The blends would hold wetness and be useless againt creating a barrier.
it says it's only polyester.. doesn't say 100% tho.
It's just a little bunnyrug type thing
Maybe just try dripping water on and blotting it to see if it'll feel really wet? you can always trial them for a few days and monitor if any rashes start.
i think ive created a monster!!!!
the postie came today, DD saw the red and white post bag, got excited and started pulling at her nappy, thinking it was a new one!! well it was for her, but wasnt a nappy!
i figured out what was causing the leaks, she had been trying to figure out how to walk on her own and was lifting her legs up high working out the distance for her steps, now shes figured it out, the leaks have stoped!
what sort of covers are best for a newborn? ive got prefolds, terry and flannel flats...
WOKB: pea pod, fast asleep!
I liked thirstie covers as they have gusseted legs but other than than I use BBH ones because they are cheap.
I love twinkly Lilly covers.... but they're probably not that great with NB poop ^^; It's held in Jacks runny poo before, but you have to wash it ASAP cos it all soaks in then re-lano... I have heard people rave about the motherease rikki cover for their leg gussets too.
We had night two in the BBH NN last night. Still no leaks and J has actually started sleeping thru, which is a VERY rare occurrence in this house hold. not sure if it's a coincidence with relation to his new clothed night butt or what but i hope it continues!
WOJB Fluro ebay cheapie (stuffed with bamboo as well as the microfibre, because i'm lazy and wasn't up for a nappy change in an hour)
Sarah- I like motherease rikki covers and Maz covers :)
DD did exactly the same thing!:
I've had a very grumpy, slightly constipated dd all morning. So anyway, I put an Abby gro on and nothing and then I have a lightbulb moment... Put her in a minky lined one. no less then 20 seconds later she starts crapping :rofl:
WOCB: poo and huckleberry AG
Polar fleece repels water hun, you can only use microfleece or microchamoir HTH:
I swear I've read a heap that you can use polar fleece. Maybe the ladies were using flanny flats and the nappies had heaps of run off room? Sorry for the incorrect info Helle.:
My father is visiting this week and I introduced him to the little squirt! He thought it was ace (yet he didn't volunteer to rinse DD's nappy *sigh* :lol:).
Finally a spot of sun after this unusually dreary week so the inserts are having a good sun cleaning sesh!
WOCB: back to sposies at night. Teething wee is just too smelly for heightened sense of smell at 3am. Bum is slathered with MSN cream to stop spotties!
i just got peed on this morning it was in an AT i think it was repeled by the fleece maybe the wrong kind of fleece was used or it hasnt been washed enough

so glad to be out of sposies from moving
I really wanna get a LS with Js teething poos lately. So gross. Still trying to work out how I can break it to DH. I have just got a new clothes line out of him because our old one was going sticky and leaving green marks on the nappies. He might pop of I tell him I want to modify the toilet for the nappies now too XD
We had three no leak nights with the BBHNN. So stoked. Can't wait for my MAL. Was washing it every morning and it was dry by night time but last night got away from me and it was washed too late, and then this morning the sprinklers got it so I have to start all over again. *sigh*
WOJB rockets CT. He's feeding a cow :)
helle - my hubby built a DIY LS for us. It's ace - he used a 7 mode garden hose nozzle, so you can use different sprays for different kinds of poo - "rinse" is good for the NB stuff at the moment. Cost us $50, but $20 was for an adaptor bit that we would've needed with a LS anyway. Look into it, save some $$$.
Also, microfleece is cheap as for liners. I bought $3 worth of microfleece and now have about 6 billion liners. I also overlocked some to some old terry strips I had kicking around, they make great booster-liners in our night nappies (which at this stage is just any kind of bamboo fitted.
sarah - I used ME Rikkis, Tots Bots PUL wraps, Bummis, maz, BBH and Loveybums covers. I'm actually probably about to sell a good selection as I had too many, do you want first dibs? PM me.
We just went away for a bit of a romantic weekend, with baby, of course, but hubby packed and probably didn't take quite enough nappies. We made it, but by the skin of our teeth - no clean ones when we got home.
WONB: Little Britches pocket, all fixed after its little adventure.
I washed the rug and could tell it's be no good.
Thanks audax! I'll have to sweet talk DH into it I think
I have a question... We (sil and I) got some abbrgros from a bb member selling them and they have a absorbent panel sewn into them. Does anyone know what they are called? And do they need a cover or is there PUL in there somewhere? I really like them. They seem alot softer than the minky alldays...

Hello my fluffy lovelies!!
I've just done my first nappy wash since WEDNESDAY! I can't believe I have that many nappies! (recieving 2 parcels when I got home on Saturday helped ;))
Now to get them dry... I think I'll pull out the heater & park them next to it. There's no sun, a cool breeze & too much humidity & I need them dry TODAY!
I think I'll have to ring radio rentals for a dryer......... I really don't want to! I'm enjoying having power bills that are lucky to crack the $400 mark!! Thats with 2 hot water heat ups a day!
But I have to do something (maybe buying more nappies....:lol:)
Best go hang them.

Helle, as said above, polar fleece is no good.
Sarah - I use Maz covers.
clover, there is a purple tuto in the mcn page for $20 i was going to get it, but no $$ till tomorow, and i realy dont want to buy miss any more till ive goten rid of the 10 we dont like, (bub is an exception!)
Audax that would be great. thanks ill pm you.
WOKB: pink pull itti
those abby gros are made with a lining of maiden mills fleece which is water repellent, so they don't need PUL or a cover. I have some fleece Auriels too, a few other nappy makers use the same sort of concept (Genessa Forge is another who makes fleece nappies). Essentially they are healthier because the fleece is more breathable than PUL (but not as breathable as wool). hth <3:
nappy news here - mum stuffed my little squirt, I'm waiting on so much fluff I could pee my pants with excitement and I am proud to say I made some big butt baby pants that are perfect for over cloth!!
oh and lucky I do have some more pockets on the way - I used Miss A's last ones from the shelf today (others still drying/in bucket) and had to grab the last pocket from the nappy bag. It's not even winter yet!

Thanks!! I'm a bit in love. They're so squishy!:
Hi ladies, I'm a returning member & wanted to pop in & say hello because I'm rather addicted to cloth! i've been using cloth since Emersyn was 2 weeks & 3 days old, and have never looked back! I mostly use pockets, but also have some fitteds I really like, and use prefolds on the odd occasion.. I seem to go through phases! Anyway, I'm Emma, & have 2 DD's, Gabrielle/Gaby (4) & Emersyn (8mo)..
hi emma
welcome! i think u will find we are all addicted to cloth here. some maybe a bit more then others :D
hey guys - I am putting up a thread of an album of some fluffy things for sale in the trading room :)
Nooooooooooooo......! :tmi:
I can't hear you (sneaking off to look......)

I thought I'd ask you cloth guru's....what would you recommend for just a everyday nothing fancy nappy to extend our stash a bit? Bubs is due in May so just thinking I would to have some extra's so I don't have to worry about drying times ect. Happy for any suggestions...don't mind either AIO's or fitteds, but good for a newborn. So what do you think??
terry (or flannel - they fold smaller) flats with a twinkle lily wool cover :)
OR mother ease rikki cover if you want leg gussets... i find folding flats different ways, some styles contain NB poop (as I discovered with 12 month old stomach bug poop)
Probably wasn't very helpful huh? :p
I DID IT, I DID IT!!!
i finaly figured out how to fold flats!!! woo go me! i decided yesterday as i cbf finding a dry nappy or digging threw the washing basket to get all the inserts ect, that id test one out on dd, i dont it!! 3 flats she has been in, 2 yesterday and one right now! so proud of myself, now i can keep bub in cloth from the start and not worry about running out of small tiny ones!
ive found lately that im reaching for the abby gro's, ittis and the lone wild child more then the others, might have to save up a bit n get mostly those, then get rid of the others :D also got to find better night nappies when i get the $$ the pea pod night boosters are no longer cutting it, so ive got one sandman, 2 out of every 3 nights its sposie while it dries, so cut about that!!
oh and i had my first "stranger" ask about our nappies, i changed dd in the waiting room at the midwives as there toilet is tiny, and one of the ladies started asking me about her nappies, how easy they are to use and washing/changes ect, she said she wanted to with her first but the cost put her off, she was realy impressed and going to look further into it for her next bub!!
with a every day nappy, at the moment our "fillers" are pea pods, i love that i can put her in one at mil's it gets filthy (almost black:sick:) from her crawling arround, but washes out clean every time!!
Well, I'm about to try an Abbygro & a Bubbamoo.
Small AT & 2 (or 4?) home made wahm nappies & considering a WW from a lubly BB gal (who hasn't got back to me about it ;) hint hint)
I have a couple mould spots, very light on a couple of boosters from being away last week :( :(
(Will never leave them for more than 3 days with out washing again!!!!!)
What you guys think I should do? Its only on the bamboo bits, so no colouring, should I spray with a little bit of bleach? Don't really wanna use a mould remover in case it does something to them...
WOSB - AT christmas nappy :lol:
I have a mould spot on a CT. Do you think I can get it out? I think it's just stain now and is on the underside but I washed mine on canesten rinse then hung it in the sun. It's slowly fading. If you have no sun send it over to me, it's a million squillion trillion degrees here ATM.:
I'll just email it to you for a few hours then helle? :lol:
We never have silly sun! Well thats what it feels like!
Just feed it thru your modem. I'll keep an eye out for it ;):
Waaaah DS out peed a sposie last night. In our bed of all places.
I was going to buy some night naps, wat brand isn't too wide in the crotch?
