Going good with my cloth. Had a day of mainly terry's as my mcn's were washing and needed a nice rinse and long hot wash and sun. The terry's definitely leak more so it's nice to have my mcn's back.
Bubs nappy rash has virtually gone thanks to moogoo and a bit of airing so i'm glad i didn't fork out for the silk liners.
I go back to work in 3 weeks part time so need to get DH and grandma's up to speed on the cloth eeek!!!! I think i'll just tell the grandmas to use terry's if they want cause they are used to them :
I went and brought something off the lady from that Cherry Blossom Surprise yesterday and she said that she is starting to destash cause she wants to start toilet training in the next year and she has over 200 nappies!!! yes you heard right 200. She showed me this beautiful custom from Charli Rose and OMG it was so gorgeous! This is for 1 child mind you. i was gobsmacked lol
I got some PUL to make wet bags. Some for me and some for my business. I make and sell nappy wallets so thought now that i use cloth full time i should make some pretty wet bags too.

thanks guys! i might use a big squirt of dishwashing liquid and put all my nappies back in today. i am supposed to work this afternoon but DS barely slept last night and isnt well. and if his cough is anything to go by, i think we may have croup again so waiting for the docs to open up at 830 and off we go.

I think the best nappy for husbands is something as close to a sposie as possible, so a pocket with Velcro. Like an issy bear

I need to find some canestin rinse. What does the bottle look like? What point of the wash do you use it? Do you still put your regular washing liquid in too?

Wowb- watermelon issy bear

Best dad proof nappies I reckon are Bubblebubs. Pockets are good, but my DH gets out of folding/snapping/stuffing by saying he doesn't know what goes with what. With Bubblebubs, the issue is eliminated, they are velcro, and pretty darn cute too. My mum's been staying a week, I offered her the terry flats, but she likes my AbbbyGro and BBF the best We did have an argument about the difference between cone fold and kite fold though

Strip washing - amount of detergent will depend on water hardness. So we Briswegians need more than Melburninanes, and Adelaidians needs more again. I used hand soap last time, it was good.

WONB: AbbyGro

hmmm, I think the cone fold looks like it has more layers of absorbancy. Kite fold would be awesome for a wiggly child maybe? easier to get tighter and avoid gussets opening?

I've got 2 new folds to try now :P

Double post

does anyone have greenkids pockets? i bought some and they seem kind of stiff and make a crunchy crinkly sound? is this normal? or do they just need to be washed a few time to lose the stiffness?

[*TripleJ*]

are they the funtimes then yes they are like that nothing u can do they still work really well for us here the anytimes are a better

[WeeMansMummy]

Audax are bubblebubs AIO? That would be better again! My dh wouldn't stuff the pockets in the issys, it would have to be done for him.

Wowb- bonnibuns natural

[luna moth]

Yep, Bubblebubs are AIO. The inner flap is sewn in. It means the elastics wear out faster than other nappies, but the price is good, and I sew, so I don't really mind!

Not just GKs that are a bit rattly sounding. Any poly PUL pockets seem to do it, my Bonnibuns do too. Doesn't affect them though.

WONB: Yellow Magicall.

[WeeMansMummy]

Hmmm maybe I shall try one

Wowb- blue swirl minky bcheeks

[*TripleJ*]

i have a large yellow bubble bubs here with suns i love it but its small on jamie and its too big for jazz bubblebubs are a bit too fluffy for my liking lol
my DH wont put together nappies at all but he does change them at least while im at work lol

WOMB: BBH magicall
WOJB: DM still mel i blame YOU ha ha ha ha

FLUFFY MAIL! Well sort of... I got training pants for Pixie from Bums Up. They look pretty awesome and I'll most likely try them out tomorrow after they dry. I also got 3 new wet bags so I can have separate bags for a couple of changes of clothes/undies and any stuff she had an accident on. I'm going to head into town this arvo on foot so hoping no accidents while we're out. I've already planned my route to include 2 toilet stops for DD (and I'll need one at least too I think). I also found a new use for Maz prefolds. They're so absorbant that I've folded them up under Pixie's bottom in her car seat in case she has an accident en route to somewhere. She had one the other day while waiting in the car with her dad because I got caught in the shop a bit longer than anticipated. The seat was dry under the prefold though! I think I'm going to design a more permanant solution with a waterproof backing soon so I'll see how I go. I have washed a total of 3 nappies over 2 days because Pixie didn't wee during her nap yesterday. She's been waking up and asking to go to the toilet!

WOCB: Abby Gro (I think that's what I grabbed enroute to her nap!)
