Cloth Nappy General Discussion #197

[Sterla]

I've been meaning to come in here for ages - (Hi Mel! *waves* )

DS and DD are both in cloth - DS full time, DD full time except for nights. I'm still building up DD's stash which is lots of fun!

Ellasmummy: Wow, how lucky to just stumble onto the firefly stocking and get something! It's so competetitve, lol!

I managed to score the Fluffy Bubs Cute Critters nappy set last night . I then went onto the Bubs n Stuff site this morning after seeing EM mention it, and I picked up a BBH magicall and a wool soaker. I'll be stalking the postie all week!

A quick question about night nappies: What would you recommend for nights? DS has always just worn a bamboo BBH with a cover. This works fine for him as he's not a huge wetter. DD on the other hand is a big wetter, so I'm not sure if the same combination would work for her.

WOOB: Dragonfly Magik SS
WOAB: A sposie atm since she's still asleep

i just checked it out and it's 50% off now - thanks for that one ellasmummy

All good here, my wool cover is a bit smelly so have to wash it for the first time and lanolise, hope it goes alright. My nappies also need sun bad, stains are mounting lol
Love my pop ins, so trim and they dry super fast. Have had to use terries a little and man do they leak sooo much more then mcn's!

Anyone tried Ms Cute Bottoms nappies? They seem quite reasonable

Do you take your bucket and naps on holidays?

WOHB - Pistachio Pop In Dream Dri

[Crystalwings]

^no expert here lol but i use either a BBH magicall or bamboo or hemp fitted with boosters and a bamboo trifold and cover. that works well too

[WeeMansMummy]

Sterla... THATS THE ONE I WANTED LOL. was it the one with the gekko and spider? So cute!

wowb- Bonnibuns baby boy print

[Sterla]

WMM: The ones I got were for DD, so they're probably not the same ones you went for. One has a ladybug design on white minky, the other is a bee design on pink minky.

[WeeMansMummy]

Aah cool, there was a boy version as well

[ellasmummy]

Oooh sterla I saw them!! But was too poxy to get 2 lol. Didn't know that the stocking was so popular. Meanwhile I am 4th on the customs list for chic nappies I think its called, the lady that was doing petit peony, and she's starting customs this week or next week wooooooo! I am on a serious ban aside from that lol. I was looking through an auction page for a sick bubba, and Fe fi fo bum nappy people donated a custom spot, and it went for $362!!!!

[WeeMansMummy]

Holy poop that an exxy nappy! I think that the nappies people donate make alot of money for those auctions which is awesome but i do wonder if the price they pull is more about the cause or the nappy???

Im waiting for mia moo to open their customs list again. It was over 100 when she closed it!!!

Sterla - we use a mirabai here at night for S and it works well. You know that nappy I got off you? Put S in it last night, chucked a prefold in there as well and she still flooded it lol thinking of getting some twinkle lily super nights for S as well so that might be an option for you? They are really absorbent

EM - nice score! Well done.

So my de-stash? Sold 5, bought 5, swapped 1. Fail.

Fluffy mail waiting at the PO! Will be my Bubblebubs order.

CW - I have a giganto wetbag that we take on holidays. Still sitting pretty on 5 sposies since birth!

WONB: ME Sandys. The small still fits. Awesome little nappy.

[ellasmummy]

Haha audax destash fail!! I've put the ones I want to sell in a pile, but can't bring myself to list them!!

WOCB - fushia tutto

[luna moth]

Well the point of it was streamlining, really. There is a lot less brand diversity now, which means one less excuse for hubby when it comes to folding the washing!

WONB: Bamboozle. They were a good buy.

[CrazyLady]

Do you take your bucket and naps on holidays?

Nope, I took a wetbag that held about 8 nappies but I was able to wash/use the dryer. I found the wetbag was easier to transport than a bucket.

Well, it's official I have a TTed DD. We've had several outings and no accidents for a week. We are now using cloth for naps and overnights because she seems to dump most of the contents of her bladder prior to changing into a nappy. Yesterday's nappy wasn't even wet when she woke up from her nap.

WOCB: undies

[Sterla]

Audax: Haha, no excuses now! Maybe that's what I need to do with my DH!

Thanks for the suggestions re: night nappies. I have a wool soaker coming, so will try a bamboo BBH with that, probably with an extra booster or two. Will definitely look into the Twinkle Lily nights .

Okay, I have another question which I feel a bit silly asking seeing as I've been using cloth for 2 years now, but... what do you do with newborn breastfed baby poo nappies... you can't really get the poo off the nappies and into the toilet like when they're older. I always put a liner on, but more often that not DD's poos spread further than the liner goes. I have just been washing them poo and all, but I'm starting to get some rather yellow stains on my nappies from them sitting in the nappy bucket for a day or two.

[Arimeh]

Sterla, I rinse her nappies with the other ones then chuck in the bucket. I wash every night though cos I go through about 20 nappies a day here.

[WeeMansMummy]

I just rinse the NB poo off in the laundry sink. Once it get more solid I will flush down the loo

[ellasmummy]

I never rinsed....just chucked in the bucket lol. Was lucky enough to sun pretty much every load though, and have no stains. Now dd poos once a week lol so I save a load for when I know its coming. Once solids start I'm guessing I will need a new game plan lol.
Which flushable liners do you all use?
Sterla re night naps, dd is 4mths old and sleeps at least 12hrs overnight. I either use bbh magicall with extra booster or bbh fitted with a cover and I've never had a leak

[Sterla]

Thanks for the advice girls .

EM: I use washable microfleece liners which get washed along with all my nappies and wipes.

Will be giving BBH a go at nights with DD once the wool soaker arrives .
