Do you guys take your mcns while trVelling or do disposables? I am going to canberra for a week over easter and dont know what to do!! I love my nappies and want to take them but its going to be so hard to wash them, dry them etc,.,

I took mine but I was staying with my parents and the ILs so had access to washers and dryers. I only used sposies on the last day so I could get all the nappies clean and dry. Had to smother DD's bum with pawpaw cream though to stop the sposies reacting.:
WOCB: Blue AG but it's going to need a change after being on 10 mins... she's mid job
Stoked - I don't eat eggs, so I'll lob a box of egg replacer ;) It was me that had the DIY little squirt. Google it, and if you know someone who's at all handy, you can get it done for $30. We have an adjustable garden hose trigger nozzle. It's awesome. We also have a poo fork and poo brush in a jar beside the toilet.
Jaki - welcome! thrilled you are doing cloth! I wash something every day, nappies are probably about every three days, with little miss in cloth full time, and not a prolific poo-er. I wash in earth choice - and easing in to ecostore powder again, as it caused a rash when we first tried it, although maybe that was coincidence.
Bexie - We just did a 5 day Melbourne trip with cloth. We only took pockets and Ai2s and fleece shelled nappies, so we could chuck the inserts in the dryer (Melbourne weather can't be trusted! :rolleyes:) And I made a supersize wetbag that we hung in our hotel room.
We're doing a 16 day central Qld road trip (and seeing Jaki on the way!) so will be having another clothie adventure soon!
WONB: yellow MM GF Ai2. So squishy!
Thanks girls! Man that box of egg replacer hurt on impact! Haha!
DH is actually very handy but I've been pestering him and everything else seems to come first! In his defence he is a very busy man!
Audax, a poo fork!? That sounds even lovelier than Mels poo spoon! Oh god, remind me why I want to use cloth again?!?
stoked: it can cost $5000 per kid in sposies??? thats my constant reminder each time dd1 dose a lovely pressie in hers that i cant just chuck it out (i know not ment to do it with sposies either) oh and they still look the same after being burried for 10 yrs (just a little dirtier:sick:)
did that work??
i was going to do a load of nappies befor, and only had 5 dirty:o guess i wont be washing every day!
DD1 has discoverd how to undo snaps!!! each time she has no pants on, 'pop' one sides undone and shes nudders! (thinks she is oh-so-clever to!)
wobb: bublegum tutto
wokb: pea-pod
Sorry stoked. Want me to throw an ice pack your way? :lol: Poo fork is just a cheapie wooden fork from Ikea, with "POO" written on it in permanent marker. I actually don't use it, but DH can't angle the hose quite right, so he prefers that.
WONB: Nothing. She is on a towel on the floor, farting and singing her bare bum song. Quite cute.
Audax- W poops in every nappy atm!! It's still quite pasty so I've been using a wee bit of toot paper to peel it off. A poo fork could work too tho :)
Excited about our catch up! I'll make sure Wyatt has some gorgeous fluff on :D
Another question... Do you all wear gloves or anything when rinsing the nappies out? It's not his poop that bothers me (I used to make a good living out of poop, lol) it's the fact that I'm paranoid about not washing my hands well enough then handling his breast shield.
Jak - I use gloves :) and yes, my poo spoon. Then I wash hands with anti bacterial stuff cos I hate poo lol
Mrs bexie - with one or two kids I take cloth travelling. Now I have 3 in cloth I would take sposies.
Oh also... What do the little codes stand for at the end of your posts?
Lol, ok cool. I presume rubber washing up gloves? I have disposable gloves but that would be silly now wouldn't it? Kinda defeats the point, lol.:
yup Jaki, i use gloves! just the same as my dishwashing ones (but 2 seperate pairs obviously!) more a paranoia of getting it under my nails and easier to remove gloves and quickly wash my hands then doing a big scrub when i have to drop n run for the older ones.
wokb is wearing on krystals bum, so you would put wowb then what he currently has on;)
wob&k's bums, still same, bubs still on boob from last post :rolleyes:
Hubby wears gloves. I don't. I'm awesome at de-pooing, and then I just wash my hands.
Day 6 without poo here. Stand by for the 'splosion....
What's On Nellie's Bottom: Toadstool print Bonnibuns AIO.
Ahh ok. Well in that case...
WOWB- orange babyland (I need a bigger stash!)
*off to wrap up a pressie to take up to Emerald*:
I feel like I'm swimming in poo. Dd1 and dd2 usually do 2 or 3 a day each and dd3 is doing between 5 and 6 a day at the moment. That's a lot of shhhhhht.
Womb: ww
Woeb: ww
Wosb: ww prefold and Maz cover
Awww!!! :D:
Mel, I think I will be swimming in poo when the splosion finally happens! Her farts are getting stinky as, so it'll be soon, for sure. My guess is 6pm tonight. Stay tuned.
WONB: green AbbyGro.
