Cloth Nappy General Discussion #198

Hmmmm crazylady, I have 6 bgs and they're all old and were used for my son, I have such a minimal collection of mcn due to lack of funds, so they've all got quite a workout. I bought Velcro to fix the tabs (if lilac will ever go to sleep again and let me sew) but maybe I should replace the elastic... It's not completely shot, it's still stretchy, but I don't have any new nappies to compare it with.

I want to buy some popins and maybe some grovia nappies.

Clover, I was planning on using flats but I have forgotten how to fold them. I also bought motherease bamboo Sandys, but lilac has this nappy rash just by looking at them, I'm wondering if she's allergic to bamboo.

I'm using bamboo flats which isn't much help if she's allergic to bamboo. They are lovely and soft though, I just use the kite fold.

Went to the bello markers, got a tie-dye onesie. So cute! AND some longies. Are they supposed to be woolen? It's says 100% handmade and painted and 100% cotton. Either way they are so cute!

It's not the bamboo she's allergic to, she's probably just sensitive to the wetness on her skin. It's the same here - we can't wear two natural inners in a row. So I just pop a microfleece liner on the top. I do that with everything now, it makes poo so much easier to clean up.

WONB: Bamboozle, microfleece liner and Totswrap

Microfleece is fantastic - it really does work.

WMM - don't talk to me about the markets lol i have a stall there and we got wiped out by that little mini cyclone, day from hell!!! glad you found something cute though

my medium babushka GF isn't a good fit at all and those inside snaps really dug into DD's leg.
I washed my naps with a pink bbh cover and it ran whoops so amdoing a strip wash on the bad naps and hoping the rest suns out. fingers crossed.

WOHB red tutto

ETA - do you all use liners every nappy?

Oh no! We were there during the nice patch. What stall? If I'd have known I could have said hi :D

Oh and I had black run thru my naps from wipes but it all washed and sunned out after a few goes.

not sure if i'm allowed to say lol so i'll pm you

Tried to reply but your inbox if full :)

just emptied it :)

I use liners for every change at the moment, but I haven't always.

Crystal - what's your GF? Front snap or Side snap? What size? Maybe I can trade you for a different pretty...

Audax, it's a medium SS. Babushka emb and cotton panels on soft pink and white minky. it also has a flower emb. it is very cute. No stains. i'd be interested in a swap if you are..

So do you use liners to stop stains or to prevent nappy rash?

Let's do it. I'll PM you about what I have.

I use liners for both reasons, although I've never had a poo stain not sun out. Also, it just makes solid poo so much easier to get off.

Oh yeah! AND my most favourite thing I did was in the bello opp shops, I found 4 pairs of corduroy trousers to unpick and up cycle! I will use them for rattles and softies I think! Plus I got 2 pairs of denim shorts to up cycle into something extra spesh :D

I just ordered some with some cloth wipes I bought on eBay, from a lady who makes wipes, boosters and cuts out liners.

The main reason I got them was because I use cream on Jim, which you're not meant to use with MCN's particularly.

Anyway the first time I used one was overnight, and I noticed how dry he and the liner was, and yet the nappy was soaked. Then the next time I used one it might have been when he pooed, and I noticed how much easier it was to wash off.

I had a couple of boxes of paper liners but I haven't use them yet. I find the microfleece easier to store in my change table as well, and you only need a few of them.

You get to the markets wmm? They on this weekend :)
