Jaki - nah I kept them in cloth. Do you have any good covers to keep the poo contained?
i just kept DS in cloth with all his vaccinations.
i am not sure the pop ins are for us either. DS has now worn it 3 times and the first two times he had it on for 10 mins before he pooped in it. then i put it on yesterday afternoon and it just didnt fit right. not sure what i did. might wash it and have another play otherwise i think i might just put it away for if we decide to have another baby.
WOHB - bbh petite in latte
I kept Kolton in Cloth but I also did not notice any change in his poo. Still formed and soft. Sorry Could not be more help. Oh and he is ff. ; )

It was only bad because the bucket interior was reaching about 60 degrees on the 45 degree days. The ammonia smell was attrocious and definately caused havoc on the elastic and PUL:
Um just a quick question, I put mine in a container with a lid. Should it be lidless?
Mine has a lid. Otherwise my laundry stinks by mid afternoon :):
mine has a lid too other like Arimeh, mine would stink within a couple of hours. i rinse the bucket out every few days (if i remember) with warm soapy water. otherwise a bit of bicarb in the bucket helps with smells
Perfect. Thanks guys. xx
I bought rockin green bucket sprinkle stuff... it is the rasberry one so you sprinkle a little on the bottom of the bucket and it smelss yummy
re shot, we've stuck with cloth and haven't had issues - but we wrap his up pretty tight ...
re buckets, we use lids, but I bathe DS every other day, and we use the soapy bathwater water to clean the bucket out after, which seems to work fine.
Q: nappy rash ... DH has awful patches of nappy rash where it's red and raised and basically looks like a sore. we've tried every imaginable thing from moogoo to prescription ointment, with and without barrier creams and powders and airing time and other stuff... nothing (not even the moogoo) seems to help ...
more ideas please?
it's worst in the area near his perineum toward his leg, if that makes any difference ... :(
Arimeh - phew! Was about to give myself a complex!
I use a swing top bin for my nappies. So it has a lid, but heapsa airflow. We put bicarb in the bottom for the smell, then i just toss that in the machine with the naps.
Jaki - we use terry flats after shots, and any other old junk we have hanging around, like handmedown BBH fitteds. That way if we have to give Panadol (and we usually do) we don't have to worry about staining. But Nellie doesn't poo any more or less after vaxes.
I think I might *need* some new covers. I'm in denial about my smalls not fitting any more. Has to be good over flats, and no FOE. Any suggestions? Thinking maz-a-licious at the moment, but would love some other ideas.
WONB: CTBD and TotsBots fleece cover.
Nah we have no covers. I didn't think I needed any cause we don't have any prefolds or flats.
Just ordered another issy bear. I have NO control lol.
Q- what's the go with leg warmers? I notice alot of nappy pages stock them.
Wowb- green bonnibuns workhorse
Jaki - leg warmers - Baby legs? Lots of nappy users just have the nappy and leg warmers on their kids instead of pants.
However, being in tassie, I have baby legs on under their pants cos its so freakin' cold.
Audax -dunno mate, my covers are either motherease rikki or maz - thats all I have. Although only have maz covers for DD3 and have been ok - only one poo explosion so far when I didn't have the back of the prefold folded around to catch the poo.. hahaha
Peanutter - dunno about the rash, when my kids get really bad I put sudocream on it, as well as some cornflour and then chuck them in a sposie and it heals basically overnight.
Had a maz cover in newborn size, and adored it. Wish I'd put it on her more often. Might see about grabbing a couple more of those. WeeHuggers are pretty good too, but washing after every night use is annoying.
Jaki - I love BabyLegs, Huggaluggs etc mostly because they are cute, but also so darned easy to change their nappy. Noodle hates getting dressed/undressed, so with leggies on, it's just one manouevre, IYKWIM? Today she's in a cartoon panda pair that my sister bought her. Cute as.
WONB: Nuthin. Needs some air. About to stick her in a terry flat with some cream on.
I have a couple on the way Jaki, they make diaper change awesome and make potty training good too. I have heard heaps about them but have yet to see any bubs with them. Cannot wait till ours arrives, now that we have heat it will make cloth a bit more easier. Those itti bittis sure are bulky. xx
Mel: Does it snow it where you are?
you have heat LMP? Are you in canada?
I want some babylegs! But DH thinks they are dumb.. grr... Maybe when we get to townsville? I love babylegs with MCN and no top but a headband too! cute.. LOL!
Peanutter... moogoo doesn't work?! wow I am lost. Is he teething?
WOCB sky blue candie. So far no leaks, used 2 yesterday and another one today.. but she hasn't poo'd for 3 days so I am guessing it is going to explode out of whatever she is wearing when it happens!
Ha Lmao Mrs. Bexie no, just a BIG sook. I am freezing today so used the reverse cycle heat. I am in heaven! I am always the first one that puts a jacket or sweater on. Yep, lived here in Qld now for almost 9 years...... You should see me when I go home to Canada in the winter. I love the snow but I rug up like the world is going to end... All I wear is North face and have just ordered a new jacket for this winter here. I think I am now Australian.
Haha!! Not my exact location, snows on the mountains though, think they are an hours drive away?:
Wow. I would be so happy!! I really need to get to Tassie....d
Lets do a house swap then cos I wanna get to brisbane:
Lol. I can't even get dh to move to the sunny coast.... let alone tassie. xx
Where in QLD are you?
I figured that's what they were about... I do hate covering a nice MCN with trousers so maybe I'll get some :D
Mel- move to emerald ;) lol
Morayfield Mrs. Bexie.... And the news just said it is going to get colder. Seriously??
baby legs are great i didnt like them at first, but i use them under dresses instead of stockings fluffy nappies look odd with stockings! lol.
ive been thinking of using them insteadof pants for dd1, she is 15mo and size 2 pants are to friken tight arround her thighs! cant win with that girl if its not a nappy fitting issue its a pants one.
got a v3 issy to test out as somone said they would be a good fit for cunky monkey, if not its a cute pink cameo one for dd2's stash.
WoKb: large magicall
WoAb: purple bublebub
I got a V3 issy too Sarah! The watermelon one :)
i havent actualy "got" it yet, its one of many on there way.
i was thinking of selling the mediums, but then realised A will grow into them in a few months!
i have to sit down and sort out what i have and what is actualy *needed... so complex cos excuses get used for something you want so it turns into a need! lol
Get out!! im at Burpengary. :):
peanutter, i found Bepanthen (sp?) is really good. agree with AE,sposie and some big gun cream overnight should do the trick.
i ordered this the other day too. :) is it good? i also got a cute grovia wet bag.:
Hey Mummajj, Get out, that would be right. I felt like the only northsider at some points.
I have a thread started in the Qld section for a meetup at Northlakes if your interested. : )
My issy is only in transit too Sarah :)
Q about it tho... It's specifically says only suitable for day use, but comes with the extra night booster. So why would you only be able to use it during the day?
Wowb- issy bear mushies print + night booster
Good morning ladies.
Have a question regarding detergent. I have enough nappies to last me 2 days without washing but prefer to do it every morn and then chuck them outside to dry, ready to use for next day. Here is the thing... Would I really need special detergent for my mcns? I have bambooty and Itti bitti. I have used both the rockin stuff and my regular Tide* (That is a Canadian laundry detergent.) and I have not noticed a difference. Just not sure if it is worth it to buy special nappie detg if not needed. Please help.
I also was wondering about the inside flushable liners. I am currently using them in early arvo as that is when ds decides to poo BUT forgot yesterday and it was just as easy to pop it in the toilet.... I know ds is early days.. almost 2 months. The poos will get messier ect but should I stock up on the liners or just leave it? What do you do?
Wokb: bambooty train
Hey tams - I only use liners when I need cream on a rash or if they are using a flat cos poos go everywhere in a flat nappy lol!!!
As for detergent - I use the earth choice one cos it's $2 a bottle - and I use it for all my washing so not something I buy especially for nappies :)
Have to say I'm loving my Mandy macs - so underrated as a good fitted nappy I reckon.
Womb: sposie (daycare)
Woeb: ww
Wosb: itti
Tams I use aware sensitive for naps and baby clothes. I r personally don't think it matters. And I've never used a liner. I just rinse the poo off and the sun bleaches out the saint later :)
Wowb- WeePantz!!!!!! :D
well here goes nothin. first time in cloth
wojb: swaddlebees
Woohooo Kylz!!!
Woohoo! A new cloth bottomed addition to the thread.
I use Rockin' green only when I am doing a booster soak. I do one of those about once a month. I don't know if the eco store powder is reactting to DD's teething wee right now. I accidentally washed in the sensitve liquid we use on our sheets (purity) the other day and her bum seemed less burnt. It really didn't bring them up as white though but I think it's a small sacrafice. It could be a coincidence?
My father is visiting and he was showing me how to fold flats :lol: I suck at stuff like that and the patience for my clumsiness was awesome. A couple looked a tad askew but with practice I'll get better. He even heard DD chattering this morning, got her up, gave her brekky AND changed her into an Abby Gro today. There is the night sposies box on the table yet he got a MCN :D
WOCB: whatever Abby Gro colour my father put on her
Yay Kylz! Welcome to the world of fluff!
I use Earth Choice, diluted with washing soda and water. AE, can you guys get the 10L bottles down there? They are ace, last forever. We bought one box of ecostore, but it caused a rash here, so we just use it occasionally.
Jaki - giving serious thought to unfriending you on FB - this morning's WeePantz photo nearly got my addiction going again! You're dangerous! Super cute.
Bexie - Fluffy Lime has pop-ins at 25% off, I know you love them. Yes we went through Dalby. You'll never guess where we are headed for Queen's Bday long weekend....
WONB: Monkey Doodlez minky pocket. I hate their AIO, so had expected not to like this, but it is so luscious! Edit: Just leaked. I take it back!
Oh snap CL! Interesting that you have same issue with the ecostore...
Your dad is awesome.
thanks wanted to do it all along but dh refuses to change them so after our fight last night i thoight screw u.
