OMG OMG OMG OMG That is awesome! You just made me cry a little bit!

Made my day better than any fluffy mail ever could! Speaking of, got two fleece auriels yesterday that I bought off the FB page. Size 2s, yet to try them as I'm saving them for Melbs! All our Melbie nappies are stacked up, colour coordinated (sad) and they look so gorgeous! Two of them will be christened down there, a GK pocket and a cow print itti.

WONB: Designer Bums paper dolls. DH put it on her this morning - usually I save it for hot days when she's only wearing a singlet, but whatever. No biggie.

ooo CONGRATULATIONS helle! More nb fluff incoming

you're all gonna have to enlighten me on NB fluff... i was just planning on using what i already have!

[CrazyLady]

I'm gonna get some MAL bamboo prefolds and some minky covers. You have to pin the predolds but meh, I'll learn

[luna moth]

Yeah, MAL minky covers are diviiiiine on a teeny bum. Prefolds are good too, but so are terry flats. I made some terry prefolds and they were hubby's favourite. Bambooty small AIOs are gorgeous too, and small petites... well, they're great if you don't have a 4kg hoofer like I did XD Oh! and Bubblebubs Just Hatched.

WONB: Red MagicAll.

[teresa]

lots of nb fluff going around at the moment!

we didnt use MCN's on DS when he was born. we had bought pea pods and they didnt fit him until he was around 8 weeks old and over 4 kgs! i didnt know about prefolds at that stage and we couldnt afford to buy anymore fluff at the time.

WOHB - bbh petite in latte

[~clover~]

CL - I used a snapp with my prefolds

3 AT's & a tutto arrived today

[Butterfly Dawn]

What are better? naps with velcro fastening or pop domes?

[~clover~]

Double Trouble - that depends on you & your baby. Different nappies fit different babies & some are only available in one or the other.

Velcro is very quick & easy, but its also easier for babies to get off as they get older. There are also either front snaps, or side snaps. Side snaps aren't a great fit on my bub usually, because she is all thigh & not much belly. So to fit her thighs, they usually gape around the belly. Others the side snaps fit much better.

I have a few velcros left that I can use from DS2, and have bought a dome 1. Its got a million domes on it for adjustability but when you open or close the domes you need to put some force behind it. Im wondering if its a bit much for a NB, thinking great once shes 9 mths and on the move.

Do you mean snaps by "dome"? I only had one velcro one and I got rid of it quick smart after Pixie seemed to always undo it mid poo. Snaps are awesome and are the only ones I'll buy now. I've only had one issue with a snap breaking and I reckon it was jammed in the washing machine door or something and fractured prior. I wouldn't mind using velcro for the AIO that require a cover though.

WOCB: Nothing. This cold has her bum red raw from nasty poo so letting it air.
