    i love my hemp BBH's. They work great here

    the pop in dream dri's weren't a good fit here but they could be another option for a non bamboo nappy

    I received my fluffy mail from the always lovely Audax today. I can't wait to try all the fluffy goodness on him. We had a very windy afternoon today so was awesome cloth goodness drying weather. The nappies I put on the clotheshorse on the verandah at 3pm were dry by 5:30

    WOLB: Happy Heiny fitted with a maz cover. I added a CTs booster as an extra booster because champion piddles alot would probably leak otherwise

    Not much fluffy news here. still waiting on my new WAHM custom which should be divine. Got a new Maz cover a couple of days ago - so cute and a nb one for my sister.
    rejoined the MCN page as i'm trying to sell some covers but haven't bought anything yet.

    I actually don't love to much wind as it means that i have cardboard naps lol

    ETA - i was wondering what is the longest you have waited for a custom? i'm hearing heaps of stories of late about 6mth waits. So ridiculous!

    nah, cardboardy nappies don't worry me because i just give them a scrunch and they soften.

    Doing a mass strip wash as we speak. I had a fabric softener stint and I think it's got to my nappies... Jack has had some shocking leaks lately, it's driving me nuts. To the point where I'm almost ready to give up. No more fab softener for this little black duck!

    I don't let napisan or fabric softener into the house for that reason Helle. I'm petrified it's going to leave a residue in the machine and destroy the nappies

    Nah, a strip wash would fix it. Mine was more because for a while we seemed to have drainage problems in the laundry sink and the machine would stay full of water. I felt if there was napisan residue then it'd cause issues absorbancy wise. It's that and Pixie got dots all over her if I accidentally put her clothes in with a softener load.

    We're clothing it here. Yesterday I had a bit of energy so I constructed a ****e load of nappies to put in a pile (and hid the sposies from DP). What do ya know, he reached for a multifit last night and patiently took note while I taught him how to work it Now that I can get Liam in the bassinet he's in cloth full-time. In bed with me was a tad to uncomfy for him because he was getting tilted onto his head.

    WOLB: Navy tutto

    ETA: Helle, Has your DS had a growth spurt? I had to replay with the tutto booster settings after Pixie growth spurted for maximum absorbancy right over wee area. Just a thought

    Possibly. He has been pretty clumsy lately which is usually his sign. He's also going through a water obsession too. That kid drinks a tonne of water, ive almost considering having him tested for diabetes! But mum said I was the same. We have never have this many leaks tho. Hopefully the strip wash does the job, im over his plastic bum.

    Pixie is a massive water drinker too and it's definately easier now she's TTed. It got ridiculous because she'd drink about 500ml off water then her nappy and all her clothes would be soaked 30-40 minutes later. I was filling up a hamper a day in clothes changes and a couple of days she had no dry shoes from the wee flooding down her legs. Basically it was like she didn't have a nappy on at all.

    Liam is looking like a heavy wetter too so far lol

    Yup. It's nothing for jack to skull his entire water bottle in 2 minutes. I guess I shouldn't complain really, some mums I know have a hard time getting water into their LOs.
    We haven't hit the shoes yet but I've had the entire legs of his pants soaked!

    Try a stripwash to eliminate it at least. You might have to swap to another style of nappy that you can super, super boost! Pixie will use a tutto for a day nap now (if she has one) but 99% of the time she wakes up dry.

    Jude is nearly 3 and he only just started drinking both water and milk this winter. I've been through several hot, steamy summers I didn't know how he survived.

    But now he soaks through a mcn if he wears one to bed, we just use disposable pull ups.

    We couldn't do the no water thing with the blistering heat and 0% humidity summers. Pixie's first summer I made sure I taught her how to use various drinking containers for water. It came in handy one day when I headed out early and got stuck down the street a while with a badly sprained ankle and Pixie in the pusher
