Cloth Nappy General Discussion #192

That's 100 odd nappies there love XP

Oh wow... I was happy not knowing that number!!

**helle** · March 24th, 2011, 10:05 PM

Helle - I have 2 in cloth and both go through 6-7 each day. I use a sposie overnight though. I can get away with washing every second day at the moment however when the new bub eventually makes an appearance, I'll be washing daily.

As is now I have plenty for everyday washing. Which I'd have to do anyway, I only have a normal nappy bucket which only fits ten nappies in at a pinch.

***TripleJ*** · March 24th, 2011, 10:45 PM

Yeah I said that too but then I got one of those mini wheelie bins oh and I have a 7.5kg washing machine so I'm still only washing every second day sometimes every 3rd day but in winter I might have to wash a bit more often and I don't have a huge stash maybe 50 at the most maybe 40 we actually use

**~clover~** · March 24th, 2011, 10:50 PM

I might start with a mini wheely bin... they're not being used for the kids dirty clothes, what they were bought for!
I have 2 nappy buckets. They usually hold me out for 2 - 3 days...!

I have to wash daily but DD is such a heavy wetter and because of so much wee it smells ammoniaish if I leave it for more then 36ish hours. I generally half fill the machine and let the extra water dilute the ammonia more. If I try to leave it 2 days it seriously makes me gag with the fumes and burns my eyes.

I found a use for part of my dead CTs. Here i was thinking I need to get microfleece lners and then I remembered I hadn't chucked the dead CTs so voila liners with an added booster on. I will have to trim the snap in ones I think because they look a bit big but the smaller booster bit will work perfect. As for the minky off the dead shells I think I might make a sort of patchwork minky taggie blanket or something. I like to recycle as much as I can and my belly shouldn't be too awkward to maneuver around for that sort of project lol.

DS gets that smell too. It's pretty rank. Its not so bad at the moment tho as our laundry smells mostly like turps!

**CrazyLady** · March 25th, 2011, 08:38 PM

Still painting Helle? hmmm, reminds me I need to paint those bits of cardboard to test the sample pot colours before we rip the wall out.

Fluff load smelt super funky last wash because of DD's cold poos. It was almost like NB poo again... All were contained in the AGs though

5 days 'til I find out sex of bub then I can place my MAL order

It's going to be a real novelty to receive fluffy mail again

Were up to staining and varnishing doors now. *sigh*

***TripleJ*** · March 25th, 2011, 09:31 PM

ive got DS's first custom nappy here and the elastic has gone in one leg and its worn out a bit and doesnt have enough boosting and i have no clus wat to do with it coz space is scarse around here and i even have a few nappies going up for sale and as giveaways coz i dont use fitteds and have a bunchthat were given to me

**CrazyLady** · March 25th, 2011, 10:16 PM

well we're going to be in a house filled with plaster dust prolly DP's next 4 days off. we're still recovering from snotville and the residual lethergy is horrid!

Just sorted out the dud CT's bits for bub en route and liner collection is looking quite snazzy. I have 24 ready to go which is probably an over kill but still solves the liner issue and I feel better for recycling! Now to cut the minky out of the shells and sort out a pattern for a taggy blanket, organise the ribbon and cut them to size... hmm I maybe nesting early...

WOCB: sposie on a MSM cream smothered bum and sleeping! She's on the mend

**~Lashes~** · March 29th, 2011, 01:01 PM

i am waiting on 15 maybe 18 nappies to arrive.....

and here i was thinking i was all good just getting one or 2 here and there!

(dont tell df) i hope he is working the next week or 2! else he is going to laugh his head off at me when the postie comes

if anyone asks, im maintaing that they are much needed as dd1 is almost to big for her medium ittis and magicalls, on the last snaps and sometimes they pop openwhen she sits!
oh and 7 are small nb ones, as she has enough for everyday washing if i cbf folding the flats!

WOKB: blue tutto
WOBB: magicall soon to be something else...itti maybe..

fluffy mail delivered today

2 limited ed Itti tuttos - want to try them out got the orange and blue pattern ones (with just white) and got a couple more IB snap-ins - the beach one and and a green & brown swirly one (forget the actual name of the colour) DS so liked the green & brown one he started eating it

**helle** · March 31st, 2011, 10:20 PM

So DS is currently wearing an abbygro fitted that was meant to be a fantastic NN. I got it off the FB page.
It's very trim... I'm very skeptical.

I have two tuttos coming from the nappy hunt sales

whee! A retro one and ... Some other colour :P oh! Silver!

**MrsBexie** · March 31st, 2011, 10:45 PM
