so im stooopid. got my 10 new BumGenius delivered today. yay for fluffy mail!!! all different colours. 2 of which are purple....:o i swear they looked pale blue on the website. dang it.
my poor baby boy gets mistaken for a girl enough as it is. lol

Hehe! Our fav in our stash is a bonnibuns natural with purple snaps that I thought were blue online! But I looove it!

Wowb- blue babyland.

mummajj - I had DD in a white frilly floral dress once and someone thought she was a boy. I just ran with it and said her name was Neville. She has some pretty blokey nappies, handmedowns from her cousin, mostly. I pair them with a pink top, or cover them up and we're mostly right.

WONB: usual night time drill.

I shouldnt probably admit this - but my DH changes every nappy on the weekend and nights. He also changes the middle of the night poo job from Sahti at the moment. He is fine with mcn, but we have been using them for 3 years so maybe that is why?

I'll go hide under my chair now before I get things thrown at me lol

AE: DH changes mcn's here no problem! And sposies. He has never had issues with nappies. Apart from calling them tutu's he is good and knowing brands and which boosters go where.

Are bumgenius good? They are soo expensive here and you can't get them from overseas (they don't post them to australia? maybe BG have a thingy saying they are not allowed to sell to any other country?)

WOCB: sposie for bed.
she wore a pop in with the night booster and one normal booster last night and it was soaking and leaked :( maybe I need to have both normal boosters in?

Hi ladies, I haven't been in here for ages...... :)

My DH changes any nappy that might be a poo because they make me vomit right now. Isn't that terrible? DD is 11 months and I've suddenly developed an aversion to changing poos! I had to take her off the changetable and put her on the floor half naked and run to the bathroom - :lol:

I've just ordered some extra BBH's - took advantage of the 3 for 2 sale.

Any of you use rockin green? What are the advantages? We use regular washing powder and have no dramas. No smelly nappies, they are a little on the stuff side but nothing major at all and they come up sooo soft in the dryer.

WOHB: BBH night nappy with PUL cover (ugly brown colour) :lol:

My DH doesn't *love* changing nappies, but he can do it. If the opportunity arises to get out of it, he will. He will do any household chore to get out of changing a nappy, and I will use any possible excuse to get out of household chores, especially changing nappies, so it works quite well. And I'm a professional.

I tried to calculate how many nappies I have changed in my life once. I know it's over 1000, but it hurts my head to even try.

Star: just normal washing powder? That may have enzymes in it and would be bad for your nappies. The block the fibres from the full absorbancy.
I use eco store, way cheaper than rockin green and just from woolies.

Sorry, not normal normal - it's that Aware sensitive natural one. We've been using it for 11 months now and very very few leaks :) I might check eco store out - does it give the same smell? I can't understand what the big fuss is about rockin green.......

eco store has no smell...
rockin green is good because depending on your water (hard, normal or soft) you can use the right detergent for it. Also it smells good?
LOL

i have 20 all up now of the pockets 4.0v and a couple of the AIO. they are between $38-$45 on the website. but i found them for $15.25 and $19.95!!! google justkidsstore. i paid about $35 postage from U.S.(for 10) but worth it. i LOVE them. never had a leak. :)

I didn't know that about normal washing powder ... will have to get DH to check it out.

I feel a bit guilty reading about some of your fellas who are less than keen to change nappies ... on average, I woudl change less than 5 nappies per week :redface:

I'll always offer to prepare food, clean the highchair and floor, put on washing, whatever so that DH gets left to do the nappy ... and then if I finish whatever I've done and DH is still going, I'll go and put on the MSM or kiss DS's face or keep him entertained (and still!!) while the nappy change is completed, but I hate changing nappies.

And I'm basically never with DS without DH being there!

:hide:

Sale alert!!! Bcheeks. 3 for $60 including demins and footy nappies! Eek!

Wowb- rockmelon bitty d'lish

If the brand has a distributor in australia, you are supposed to buy through there, and not direct from any store in the states, its in the agreement that the resellers have with BG's. When I had the store, I had to get my stock from the australian distributor (a big store in north queensland) instead of going through BG's itself, unlike happy heiny, who I was able to buy direct from.

You are supposed to buy directly from the distributor or their resellers, and if a store sells to you from overseas - they could get in trouble if found out.

That being said - I liked the BG's, I just hated stuffing pockets all the time. Much prefer to snap in a booster - easier to watch tv whilst doing it.. LOL

WOMB: WW
WOEB: WW (large now *sob*)
WOSB: Errr.. what did I put on her this morning.... :think:... ahh thats right - chocolate itti

I'm not surprised you havent seen it, it's in the contract between reseller and distributor. The store isn't supposed to sell overseas if there is a seller there. So the store is bein norty!

When we are both home, DH probably changes 1/3 of the nappies. I sometimes have to say 'can you change it', but if it is just him and DD there are as many dirty ones at the end of the day as when it is DD and i. When i am there, i think he defers to me for organising DD but if i am not there he is happy to do it all.

Yeah, every site I have seen has said they don't ship to any other country... Oh well! LOL.

I love my snap boosters so if MG are pockets I probably wouldn't like them.. not really a fan of pockets!

Ok another sale alert!!! breastmates (google it or pm me for the link!) have a sale on atm and they have Hot milk bras. I just got 2 INCLUDING postage to Australia for $43!!!!!!!! I cannot believe it was soo cheap! Woohoo!!! pretty bras that I can afford!!! I hate my crappy yucky gross bras.

Can you add any oils to the wash to make nappies smell pretty? Not eucalyptus cause I hate it. LOL! Eco store has no smell and we cant afford RnG so I was thinking maybe I could put a few drops of something in?

WOCB: bubblegum tutto
