I've already got a coconut. If I were to get another I'd like duck egg.
Why did you buy more if you don't use what you already have??? Sale
Excitement? Lol

Wowb- blue swirl bcheeks

Hi everyone!

Helle - I found mandy macs fit from about 4kg. They were a bit big on her at birth, but I use them on her fine - love them!!

Definitely go the snappi's (whoever was contemplating) I love them!!!!

I think everyone has a bigger stash than me, I've only got a small one - well considering I have 3 in full-time cloth!!

Womb: bbh night and longies
Woeb: sposie cos she has blisters from her teething poo, with lots of bepanthen and cornflour on her bits.
Wosb: mirabai (sp?) night and longies

[*TripleJ*]

Another thing with pins which I've never used just always used a well fitting cover but I did hear if u put them in a bar of soap makes them slip through easier I found out the other day my mum used to stick me wayyyyy traumatic seeings I can't remember lol
WOMB: wooly night pocket
WOJB: nic nap fleece night with bv inner

[M D]

My DS seems to be a reall heavy wetter, at the moment I have some itti Tuttos And some bum genius. The BG I was wanting to make some more inserts for but wasn't sure what material type would be best?

Also night nappies? Wool covers ? I'd love to hear what you find the best.

[*TripleJ*]

Bamboo would be good for bumgs good night for us are bbh nights and a fleece cover and then wool lobbies on top but I don't lanolise too lazy lol

[M D]

Triple J- Fleece covers and lobbies?? Sorry I'm new to this

[Bern]

sshhh dont tell hubby i jus bought 4 more nappies

[MrsBexie]

Triple J- Fleece covers and lobbies?? Sorry I'm new to this

Longies i think she means? Ling pants, either fleece or knitted wool fo over the nappy and soak up an excess moisture so bubba isnt wet

Wocb: itti boo with extra bbh trifold (except its huge so its a quarterfold! Lol) and bbh cover

I use both fleece and wool as covers - prefer them at night over pul covers. I have some llamajama ones and they are lovely and thick, I rarely lanolise them before use either. I have other wool covers, just wahm ones.

As for night nappies, I use bbh nights, beetlebum wooly night pockets, twinkle lily super nights, and I hassled Christie from widdlewuns to make me some fleece pockets with bv inside - and they work great . I use whatever for the baby overnight cos she doesn't wet heaps yet

Eta - just reread my post, when I said over pul, I meant I prefer using wool, not that I put a pul cover on and then a wool cover lol

Saves having a cake of soap handy is you just run the end through your hair. The hair oil makes it slide through. I know of people that have all their nappy pins stuck in a cake of soap ready to use but Pixie would be straight into them. She knows she can't play with stuff like that and brings them to me but she might want to help change the baby's nappy instead

[Eenee]

Thanks for the suggestions for the night nappy. I wanted trim but not super trim she's still only little and I find it hard to get bulky nappies on her. She's only just 6kg.

Oh dear.. I have this image of a little newborn with pins poking out of his little buttcheeks ><; We can't have that!

WMM, your parcel is keeping me in suspense over here!

[WeeMansMummy]

CQ to WA can take a while sometimes.
Speaking of which did you girls all end up getting your fluffy lime orders?

Wowb- rockmelon d'lish

HAHA! I almost spat water at my computer then. I think Pixie will be awesome and entrely too helpful (until the novelty wears off)!

Yeah, did you all get your orders? I was quite stoked mine arrived only a few days after ordering (for once). Usually I have to be super, super patient with stuff like that.

WOCB: Black tutto- hoping it holds out for her nap because I accidentally grabbed bits only prewashed once for the Dr appt and she had soggy jeans.

[Crystalwings]

Well perhaps my addiction has started lol
I went to the baby shop today to see what boosters they had and ended up with a BBH magic all. It was $31.95 but didn't have to pay postage so figured it balances out. It is a nice coffee kinda colour. I saw the bitti Tuttos which were gorgeous but i want to make my own boosters and thought the pockets are easier for that and i can also use the ones i got. And it was $8 more. There was also a brand there called Rumperoo which the lady said she sells the most of. Anyone tried it?

Now i was wondering about liners? Bub has a pretty mean nappy rash atm and was thinking of getting some silk liners. Has anyone used them? Are they worth the $$$ The other option i have is cutting up some microfleece and using it for liners so i can smother bubs butt in sudocreme and not worry? I washed all the nappies in hot water and a ts of The Right Stuff instead of Aware to see if that makes a difference as well. Is it ok to use Earth Choice washing liquid? coles had a very limited selection today.

WOHB Terry flat with Clothed Up white minky cover (all my nappies are at the laundromat and couldn't find any of my snappi's lol)

[WeeMansMummy]

I've not tried them but I have a friend who loves them.
I'm not sure about nappy rash but I did notice Aware made my nappies very stiff. Once I finished the box and switched I noticed the have softened up again.
I'm trying the earth choice now, slowly making my way through all the options

Wowb- bcheeks

[Arimeh]

I got given one to try it and see if I wanted to be a stockist of them, I was pretty impressed with them from what I recall.

I use microfleece liners here. And earth choice liquid - so sounds good to me!!

Hi to everyone else - fluffy mail here today - 3 twinkle lily super nights. Large for kelti poor thing had a doc poking around her bottom today - she is having poo issues (constipated then it's too big to fit out!) hope it's nothing serious for the poor bugger, find out results from her xray tomorrow.

Womb: sposie - night nappies are wet
Woeb: sposie cos she has blisters down there
Wosb: Mandy Mac and Maz cover (does her overnight)
