    Thanx ladies

    Bex do you like your foaming wipes wash? I won't bother getting it again. So much easier to whip out a pre-wet wipe. I used to just wet the cloth wipes wring them out and fold them into a small wetbag.

    Wowb- issy bear night nappy. Mushroom print.

    hi all!!

    im excited to be starting to use cloth very shortly! im just waiting on my fluffy mail so i can start! how many nappies do you ladies think a 4 month old would go through a day?
    I'm thinking we may have to start going part time at first til the supply is built up a bit (I have 10 ittibitti d'lish SIO's with 3 extra sets of liners & boosters)
    i will also hopefully be buying a couple more BBH magicalls too in the next couple weeks to add to the stash, hopefully around 4-5 of em....

    does that sound like enough??
    Depends how heavy bubs wets. Pixie was going through about 8 huggies a day at that age. She's always been a very heavy wetting child though and can still clock up 6-8 nappies a day at 2 years old. As Mrs Merd Burger said poo is variable too. Around 6 a day sounds right for an average wetter.

    A girl Pixie's age at playgroup had a poosplosion today and Pixie did a massive poo about double the size the same time in a Tutto. The mum and I were both changing our girls in the bathroom and she was quite shocked the nappy contained the lot I showed her another tutto (clean one) and pointed out why I chose that specific one this morning. I think she's going to look at clothing her next bub (due Sept) because she's had nothing but issues with sposies and poo leaks no matter what brand or how she does them up. She was under the impression they were all still about heavy soaking buckets and bleaches. I happened to have the tutto instructions and abby gro pamphlet in my bag so gave them to her.

    I ended up ordering a custom from my mcn's. I will see how I like her work before I order more than one. I ordered black minky with red snaps and red lining and the AC/DC logo on the back

    bex - i got a blue one with a rocket ship on the front and on the back it has a guys sitting in the rocket. it looks amazing and i cant wait to get it!

    we only have the dream dri's here and they dry so quickly! the soakers feel dry when i pull them out fo the washing machine! they really are super absorbant. i really should get my butt into gear and get some more for night time use so we can get rid of the sposies

    I have 2 barely used night nappies that Pixie out peed a tonne. I only used them for about 4 months before I gave up. I'll be using them for this bub.

    Waiting for my fluffy mail. I have a feeling it'll rock up tomorrow. It's the 3 tuttos I got from the stocktake sale. The more I use them, the more I think my Abby Gros have sneakily delaminated on me. even after 1 prewash I had no leaks after 3 hours in a tutto. hmmm, What's everyone think?

    Defs have to try a Bonnibuns NN!

    CL - hope not about your AbbyGros! Speaking of.... are you interested in purchase of my lone AG? We use it occasionally, but it's not a favourite. Love how thirsty it is, love patting that squishy bum, but the fit is not perfect.

    Hey you guys, I don't come in here very often at all any more (OK never), but does anyone use the sized Bubblebubs anymore? How's the elastic in them?

    *looks curious* What are Designer Bums comparable to? I feel like a MCN granny, I have no idea what half of these brands you kids are using are. I used Baby BeeHinds and v.1 BumG's and BerryPlush and...can't remember. Others. And when did nappies get so expensive?? I feel like my Dad reminiscing about buying milkshakes for half a carrot and 5 dead crickets, but sheesh!

    I might give it a miss thanks hun.

    I just gave an AG shell a squeeze and heard a very slight crinkle. I'm guessing the PUL has perforated and shrunk back a bit in places. I might just double cover them with my Maz covers to get us through. DD is definately not too far off TTing but she had a scare 2 days ago where she almost fell off the loo. I JUST caught her. It's put us back a bit. She will sit up there again but won't relax 100%. Not going to push her, she'll get there in her own time.

    Just ordered 2 issy bear Velcro day nappies. Gonna use them for sleeps. Since I sold heaps and haven't received all our new ones I put on an issy I was saving for summer and realised how much I like them! I've been neglecting my issy love since using pop in's at night!

    Got fluffy mail today... 2 bonnibuns naturals with yellow snaps, I have sold on all my purple snaps.
    A CT wetbag and a ROAK'd CT. The crinkly one but I can barely hear the crinkle

    Wowb- issy bear watermelon print

    Hey Kim! My first thought when I read your PA was "well, she'll be needing mor nappies!" I love the Bubblebubs sized AIOs, the elastic has gone from our smalls after a lot of use (bought 2nd hand) but we have such a big thighed baby that it didn't matter. There just so happens to be a sale on them now... I think Designer Bums are overrated. We get a lot of leaks, the velcro is hardcore, so although it holds well, baby gets stuck to everything imaginable, unless you put it under a onesie, in which case, what's the point of it being pretty? So... what did you like before? I am thinking of getting my husband to write a "If you like ___, you'll love ___" program for nappies That's what he does.

    Nelle.... is there a reason you're asking? A tiny gorgeous reason? I was thinking of you just this afternoon, when the thought crossed my mind of putting the baby in a funny place and taking a photo. Like your boys hidden in gift bags.

    That is pretty much what my husband's parenting of newborns consists of. Carrying them places in towels or buckets, or when they're older shouting 'Hey Nelle! I can't find the kids!!' And I casually wander down and try to detect the source of the snuffles and giggles before they turn into distressed wails. Laundry hampers are a common spot. Now of course, my boys have a penchant for hiding in cupboards, baskets and ottomans.

    Maybe. I'm trying to sort through everything I have...I should be ashamed of the abuse some of our nappies have seen...there are a few that I really just should throw out. A few BabyBeeHinds that got left in a nappy bucket too long and disintegrated...same with some Itti inserts...and some of my BumG v.1 elastic is gone...probably not worth repairing (given I have NO idea how). I think I want some more BerryPlushes...I love them. But at BumG prices! What happened?? Are all pockets that expensive? Wait, I know they're not, because I still get GreenKids emails...I liked those...
