Welcome

Hi to everyone else - Nelle, its been ages since I've seen you post in here!!! Are you hiding a little secret perhaps?

I should introduce myself properly hey..

I have 3 kids, one in nappies, a little boy (older two are a boy and girl), i have a very pretty boyish stash, consisting of mainly peechees, a couple of auriels and a fair few beetlebums.
Im re-jiggin my night time nappies atm

I have used cloth exclusivly since birth on my little guy and hes now 17 months old (although a few weeks ago he wore a disposable for 2 hours as i accidently soaked all his nappies at once lol! lucky we still had a sample nappy from the bounty bag)

<3 Hope to chat more to all you lovlies

The expo wasn't great for nappies this year. Last year was awesome, this time, not so much. We did get a silky bamboo wrap from Bambooty for $27 down from $35, though, they're our litttle one's comforter, so that's a good deal (she has champagne tastes :rollleyes: ) Ecostore powder for $2, but they ran out of TL powder.

Kim - no idea about spunky butts. I loved them. If not, there's BamBams? Pretty much the same. All my thirstiest nappies are fitteds or pockets, so not sure I can help.

Welcome kitten! Our little love was in cloth as soon as we got her home from hospy, we'd never do anything different.

WONB: Terry flat, cos there's cream on her bum.

I got our teeny weeny newborn in cloth as soon as we got home from hospital. We're using the smallest motherease sandy fitteds with the smallest motherease and gorgeous imse vimse covers (premmie size).

It was a tough decision because I know I'll only get about 5 weeks out of them, but they are soft as a cloud, sit below her umbilical stump, and are working so well!

I can't use pockets because they're just massive on a newborn, and don't work at all for under 3kgs and skinny babies which my daughter is.

Anyway, I've relied heavily on my bumg v3 for my son, they are far superior to my green kids and happy heinys, although I love the look and feel of hh the best, but they just aren't as water tight as bg.

But the bgs Velcro needs replacing, if I can get off my butt and do that.

Now I'm really interested in the new designs from cotton bottoms (who make bg), with the lay-flat inserts rather than pockets (eg. econobum) because the bumg liners are so easily clogged and I don't love stuffing pockets.

Has anyone used the newer designs? They work out cheaper because you can reuse the covers with fresh inserts, so just buy more inserts.

So I think we have a new postie and they're super lazy. I had a card rock up in the letterbox and it must have been Friday arvo. We were in the house all afternoon. I checked the letterbox at 4pm and nothing was in there so it looks like the lazy sod couldn't be bothered knocking on the door at all. It's not the first time it's happened of late either. We had to collect 2 parcels last week also on a day we were home all day.

DD is TTed at home only but still needs a nappy when we're out for now. I had 2 nappies to wash yesterday because one for nap and another for afternoon venture out. It is so much nicer just ditching the contents of a potty in the loo and giving it a rinse than LSing a nappy.

Mrs Nerd Burger, I really love your sig! I think no matter what we will always do something "wrong" in another parent's eyes.

Welcome to the newbies! Gotta dash because of DD's preservative come down!

kuraiza - the Sandys will last longer than you think! Our 4kg-born now 6 month old is still in her smalls. It's the only one that has fitted her from birth right through til now.

CL - give em heaps when you're at the PO. We had that happen a lot last year, til we gave them what-for, and now Roshan delivers to the doorstep, even if we're not home, because he knows I don't work.

WONB: Probably still a Bubblebubs AIO. She's out with her dad while I'm home sick

So I've gone from buying no nappies in months to having 7 coming all in one hit. 3 tuttos, a boo, 2 bonnibuns and a small itti (thanks WMM )

Wojb blown out CT. I can see his cute little butt through the sides of the legs XP

[CrazyLady]

haha! I have 11 incoming and a nb cover! 3 tuttos, 8 bbh multifits and bbh cover. I also got 3 a couple of weeks ago so 14 in under a month is quite impressive for me!

Wocb: standard night setup!

[Nelle]

Gah at your postie CL! I'd be popping in to the post office to say something too, that's the whole point of delivery, so you don't have to go out! Sheesh!

I never had any Motherease Sandys! Where did you get them? The Motherease covers are probably my favourite though. Although, when I bought mine, they were one of the only covers that had leg gussets, and now heaps do! *tries not to rabbit on about how quickly the MCN scene is evolving and growing*

Bummer at the pockets Kuraiza - our first was skinny, but he was also over 4kg, so that sounds like a whole different ball game to a bub under 3!

Hey Nerdburger! You clearly don't stalk well enough on FB.

I remembered I had all my prefolds soaking in bleach/water in the laundry trough tonight...it's only been about two weeks...*CRINGE*! They were in a pretty bad state though, when I put them away after #2 I just must have been completely immune to poop stains. Didn't help that our clothesline was undercover at our last house.

[CrazyLady]

Gah at your postie CL! I'd be popping in to the post office to say something too, that's the whole point of delivery, so you don't have to go out! Sheesh!

Issue is that I don't drive and I really can't walk 5 blocks to the mail centre right now. My pubic bone feels ike it's going to fall out whenever I walk more than a block. I think I might have to give them a call and see if they can arrange something for me. They used to drop it around the back but now we have the dog they can't.

[Nelle]

Well that in itself is definitely enough reason to be calling and having a stern word! Sound ouchy. I hope you can sort something out.

[Arimeh]

Nelle - I saw your post about the blood tests but didn't even click what they were for!!! Derrrrr. I have sufficiently stalked now but didn't manage to see when you were due? Congrats anyway!!! Hope your prefolds recover!!! I have the best prefolds here that Christie made me (widdlewuns) they have a cotton panel on them and are so damn cute!!!! She's nearly too big for them now though (Sahti that is, not Christie)

Womb: sposie cos her night nappies are still wet
Woeb: beetlebum wnp. She now has 2 cos kelts pees right through them :-/
Wosb: just changed her cos she had pooped. Now a shp daysie I think it's called? Whatever it is it's purple, fitted and absorbent....

[*TripleJ*]
