Jaki - it's actually the panadol wee that stains, not the poo. So it will go straight through a liner - there's no protecting anything from those stains. I just use my grubbier nappies if there's panadol going on.
DD has had gripe water tonight. She was feral and screaming off the boob and not sleeping in a way she hasn't done since she was tiny. It was definitely a wind problem, and hopefully she's sorted out now. She went down for bed OK. Pretty sure that stuff doesn't stain.
WONB: Bamboozle. As always.
yup, not posting till she is back from hollidays, i had problems with the code then my stupid computer done something and it processed the order without doing the payment selection, she got back to me and had adjusted the total for the discount! realy loving the wham customer service!! im getting a pail liner, magic stick and a heap of wipes. i bought huggies wipes the other day, Allyssa goes bright red every were the wipe touches, poor bugger. im going to change to full-time cloth so need some sturdy ones for when were out.
I CAN NOT buy any more cloth this week! i have to get a dikie seat for the wagon and pay the rego, got a family thing out in country vic this weekend!
wokb: red itti
woab: purplle pooh bubblebub
Sarah I was wondering if you got that code sorted!
Thanx for the panadol info gals :)
Anyone tried miamoo? I just ordered a gorgeous minky nap with a sheriffs badge embroidered on the back.
We call Wyatt our little sheriff (for obvious reasons)
Wowb- cc with the usual issy bear booster set up.
Hey girls!! I have missed heaps! LOL
Sarah: yay to getting the payments all sorted out with MLO! I am making my own wipes!! I have the same issue with C's bum!! Any wipes burn her and give her a rash..
WMM: ooh vute to the sherrif badge one!! I have heard they are great on the mcn fb page
Audax: the gripe water helped? Have you tried brauer and weleda colic powder?? they are AWESOME for wind!!!! Worked much better than gripe water for us!
Crazylady: HAHA!! Yeah some fluff-a-holics can't handle waiting!! God I can't even remember what I got!! Oh wait.. I think 2 pop-in dream dris with night boosters an some pail sprinkle stuff??
Ok so I am SOOOOOOOO bad!! I got 3 BBH bamboo fitted nappies and 2 hemp ones (2 were swaps for amber teething necklace) and so then I got on the BBH website and got 3 covers and 3 trifold boosters to use them for nights!! I didn't want to pay the $60 for 3 night nappies and for all 5 I only paid $30 inc postage.
I have to try to keep track of the nappies coming!! OOH I won 2 mandymac Tropics nappies on ebay too! Brand new for $15!!!! I have such a spending problem... MCN's are what I spend on....
WOCB: sposie but hopefully soon it will be a BBH nappy!!!
LOL! I think I've gotten mixed up with blueberry smoothie stains in the past... They also stain blackish:
I think Panadol stains start out black and slowly fade. Mine are currently kind of burgundy. And they are particularly bad on microfibre.
Anyone had any issues with mould/mouldy smells on nappies? One of my cotton PUL outers smelled a bit rank yesterday, straight off the washing line. It's print on dark, so I don't want to sun the bejeezus out of it, as it'll fade. It's a WAHM number though, might shoot her an email. Or call a wahmbulance :lol:
CL - how's your newborn stash looking?
WONB: Blue flames Bonnibuns
NB stash is slowly getting there. 13 flats, 10 prefolds 2 covers (1 more cover at BBH reps's house), um.... I have some IB tuttos en route which will most likely fit from birth. I'm going to work on more in dribs and drabs over the next few months! I will assess which abby gro are still decent after DD TTs mid June. A few of those are giving up and not worth hanging onto. they have seriously been put through their paces though. I'll figure out what needs replacing when they've stopped the back and forth trip from the washng machine. Hoping this bub is a fatty compared to DD.
WOCB: Poo! Grandpa just brought her inside and says she has a present in her pants :lol:
I've scored some more bonnibuns naturals 2nd hand :D whoot whoot!!
Poor Wyatt and his purple snaps hehe.
Wowb- licorice candie
I got not fluffy mail yay
Wojb - jungle issy bear
well im now going to help build a NB stash for my friend i almost passed out when i got the phone call asking for my help and i was like ummm i still have no idea i just muddled through lol
Bexie - meant to say before, yeah, gripe water helps if wind is the problem, for sure. We don't use it a lot, but when we do, it makes a difference.
Jaki - if you like Bonnibuns, I have some pockets I think I'm selling (they were defs for sale before, but after our trip I'm not sure I can part with them! They are so good for travel) I also need to send you that AbbyGro.
Trying so hard not to look at the GF sale items.
WONB: Bamboozle. Only I forgot the extra booster, so I'll not be in for as good a night tonight as last night. Booo.
Sale! What sale!?!? Lol. Pm me your bank details or PP addy for the AG :)
I'm a wee bit over pockets. Loving snap in inserts atm.
Kylz Whad ya get???
I got my maz biggins today, these puppies should fit my big bazookas!!!
Love the smalls for day but they cop a big hit over night!
Wowb- green babyland
Oh also...
Q- what method do y'all use for taking wipes out? Wet in a wetbag? Or is there some kind of spray you can get? I got some wipes from maz that I want to use out... We use flannels at home.
I I use disposable wipes when I go out but we hardly have poo when we are out I know ppl that use a ziplock bag with already wet ones or a pop top bottle with water in
WOMB: BBH night and maz cover
WOJB: green kid soon to be NN nights
we saved the thick plastic bags which either zip or pres stud up that you buy wraps and bonds suits in, as they're waterproof, and we got them for wet nappies.
most times though, we use sposies if we're out for a change. but we take cloth, so they one DS will be wearing when we get home can be a cloth.
When I go to playgroup/someone's house I just wet a face washer with water. I use the thinner cheapy ones from woolies for bum wipes. The few cloth wipes I have tried weren't grabby enough for a bigger poo and I just smeared it everywhere. I give the face washer a quick rinse before I chuck it in the crapped in nappy (after I have flicked any loose poo into the toilet.) I found that the few times I was out and DD needed a change any disposable wipes I had were dry from sitting in the nappy bag so long. I have found that parent rooms generally have taps anyway and water does the trick.
i havent started using the cloth wipes while out yet, but im going to get one of those little travel sized spray bottles from the chemist.
got fluff mail today, my bbh sale stuff, love the blue limited print, not a fan of the pink one tho, not a prety as i thought it would be :( my freebie was black, yay for black nappies, the only plain black one i have is a large itti with half dead elastic:lol: i have absolutly no flippin idea how the bamboo fitted is ment to be osfm, im use to ones with snaps for size adjustment:dunno:
i should have the prety ruffle by the end of the week! just got to warm inside up and hope for a sunny day so she can show it off!!:D
im doing a trial with the detol(sp?) and canastin(sp?) washes this week, see what one works best for freshening them up with no sun!
no mcn purchases: DAY1
woab: lizard tab blue bubblebub, soon to be a bedtime tutto
wokb: majucall stuffed to the max!
Sarah do you have some lovely White or pink baby legs so she can wear it in the colder weather? Good idea with the spray bottle.
Thanks for the tips ladies. I'm my limited parent room experience I find the sink is in a separate room than the change table, WTF! Do they not think about where we have to put our baby to wash our hands? One place even had the toilet in the other little room! That's just stupid.
Wowb- issy bear night set up.
no Jaki, i dont! ive got 3 pairs of navey blue ones, i put 2 b/n pairs on the mcn page to try swap for white/pink pair, but no one wants to swap:(
I HAVE SUN!:leap: lets hope it lasts long enough to sun some nappies! lol.
wokb: magicall
woab: itti aio
Aww nothing but cloths has 20% off baby legs today only :)
Just checked the page name. It's- Nothing butt cloth- independent MCN consultant.
I saw those babylegs Sarah, but I'm on the lookout for girlies stuff too.
We use cloth wipes full-time. I found using sposie wipes while out was a pain in the hole - nappy goes in the wetbag, wipes go in plastic bag. SO much easier to use cloth wipes and just chuck them all in the wetbag. I carry 10 flannie and 5 terry wipes in a zippered pvc bag. I mostly just use them dry, but if I need to wet them down I have a little bottle of diluted Gaia baby moisturiser that I squirt on. I just top that up from time to time.
Jaki - Genesa Forge sale. I love them, my fave naps by far.
Check out Bubblebubs foamy wipes wash, I think that was on sale not long ago because they have new fragrances coming out.
No fluffy mail so far, but Roshan (parcel postie) doesn't usually come til after 3. Yes, we're on first name terms. Well, no, he calls my husband Dr Surname. Online shopping FTW!
WONB: WeeHuggers cover with an assortment of inserts
Sorry for no persies! Too hard to keep up!! LOL!
fluffy mail today!! Got my danube tutto. SO pretty :heartbeat:
Sarah: I am getting ebay ones. DH doesn't like them but I need them for her pretties!!! LOL! YAY to sun!!
Audax: LOL! I love how you know the posties name.. I should know mine, Vixen (our puppy) tries to attack the postie bike!!! haha. OOH Might check out bubblebubs cause I want a bum solution for her wipes (when I finally make them)
Back from Coffs Harbour now and I used cloth the whole time I was there. Took 12 for the 5 days (including traveling) and only washed once! I only did a light wash cause the nappies were only wee not poo, but I have to re-wash them cause they still smell a little.
WOCB: sposie.. still waiting for BBh fitteds and BBh covers, ooh and a Maz cover to come
OOH I just got 2 bubblebubs foaming bum stuff!! 50% off at the moment.
These are the 2 flavours I got:
Relaxation - Full bodied yet warm floral bouquet with light fruity top notes and a smooth background of sweet musk
Black Magic - a magical blend of earthy sandalwood and Ylang Ylang with a hint of patchouli, vanilla and baby powder
And I just realised I didn't get the foaming pump... oops!
LOL I don't know the postie's name but the postie knows my name and he even said hello to me while shopping in coles one day!!!:
We use cloth wipes here always have just with water and when we're out if I remember I take a couple that I have already wet but mostly I forget so they are dry and there is usually a tap somewhere. I made some and I have some Maz one's and some itti bitti ones- I have way too many though!
Can't believe I have never used sposie's or disposable wipes. have used all cloth from the start and i'm pretty proud of my effort!
Thinking about trying some of the new BBH multifits.
WOMB: cute tooshies and pink BBH cover.
I should really get/make some cloth wipes ... maybe I could cut up one of the flanney wraps we have for DS to make them ... but then I'd have to hem them by hand, which would probably take ooooooodles longer than buying some pre made ones ...
hmmm :think:
Face washers. Woolies. Pack of ten. $5. You can't go wrong?!:
yup! I got mine on clearance for $2.50! 20 wipes for $5.00 SCORE! They aren't too plush so the bits don't get trapped when you wash them but they are plush enough to get a nice grip on all the little bits.:
I have double bamboo terry to grab the "bits" and flannel for the wee's n drying. I am making my own once i get my overlocker!!! The bamboo is so soft.:
I have put myself on a ban now and have told dh i have a spending problem so no more nappies after these 5 customs come. It is ridiculous how much i have spent. So i am not getting any more apart from a woolen cover knitted through a friend.
Sent from my iPhone so sorry for the spelling and punctuation!!
Has anyone used a bubblebubs swim nappy? I want some wipes foam and thought I might grab a nappy too for our holiday.
Tbh I've been leaning towards a packet of sposie swim nappies cause he still poos alot.
What ya's think?
Meanwhile... I can't believe when you use a sposie how smelly it seems! Did an epic trip to rocky for shopping yesterday, used sposies and there is one laying next to my bed (eww I know) and it stinks of wee!!! It's not even that wet. But I can leave a used MCN in our room overnight and not smell it at all.
Jaki - have never noticed cos we never have sposies, but doesn't surprise me. For E's two swims we have gone no-nappy, but we do own a Bonnibuns swim nappy that I scored for free through Nest Nappies. I love pretty much everything from Bubblebubs, so I say go for it.
I have cheap face washers for wipes as well as 75 flanny squares made from old pillowcases. They are just overlocked, and SO handy to have, for anything.
Bexie - 12 nappies for 5 days, whoa! She mustn't be too big a wetter then - we need 6 a day. What customs have you got coming?
Roshan didn't come yesterday :( Today might be a bonanza... longies, lanolin, fitteds, covers. I have three packages on the way, surely one will be here today!
WONB: Little Britches pocket. Super thirsty.
Yeah I might get it, it's 19.95 with free post. I need something cause we will be in resort pool and Airley beach lagoon pool. Can babies go in spas or are they a bit hot?
OMG Must stay off the FB MCN Page. Im going to be broke before I even get paid lol
wojb- sposie cause we had to take daddy to work
i hate you :(:
i hear you! my no buying, lasted one day, i was on the page when the black and hot pink kawazukie was relisted.... i loved that and was shatered i missed it the first time! re-starting again today.:
i have no idea my posties name we seem to have a diffrent one every few weeks, the most annoying bit is he comes after 3 and if im waiting on registed post, he is guarenteed to show up when im picking ds up, making me go down the shops with all the kids! (only as im impatient and cant wait till the next day:lol:)
woab; itti tutto
wokb; bink camoflage issy bear, prety good fit!
Yep I need to put the breaks on too for a while. I have enough workhorse nappies so I'll only buy pretties now, and might wait till he is medium.
Kylz you can hate me babe but I looove you! I'll send you a post card ;)
I don't want a postcard I want to be there like I have been last two Junes bring on may/June next year. And I love u too xxx:
Well blow of sydo and coooommmeeeeee!!! X

Boo to postie not coming!!!

Kylz: I am the same with the MCN page!!!! I just uploaded photos of my stash... lol
Sarah: You got the tutu nappy!!!! I saw it the first time and LOVED it! Can't believe the sale fell througH!!!
