    Wow, haven't been in here for ages!! I'm really only into one type of nappy though - loved prefolds when DD fit them, now I'm all about itti bittis. So I'm getting rid of all my other nappies and replacing them lol. They're easy for DH to use and seem to contain everything so much better. They're the only ones I'll use on our long car trips cos DD sleeps the whole way and they easily last without causing her any issues. Ok now I'm sounding like an itti rep lol....

    WOAB: Sposie for night cos I haven't lanolised her night nappy covers and they leak

    I haven't been in here for ages either (nor on BB much. it's been all about fb lately lol)

    Like Audax we have had a bad rash so have been using flats or flushible liners most changes. if i want to use a pretty i stick to moogoo and cornflour but they aint really cutting it. I've also been using the Canestan rinse occasionally JIC.
    So devo because when bub was sick last month and had panadol, heaps of her nappies got stained. I have done a strip wash but they are still grey.
    I have also ventured into the world of making my own nappies which is fun.

    Just got a bunch of CC's in the post that I bought of fb on an MCN swap sell site. They are super cute and look like as if they will fit a newbie really well. So exciting! Just washing them all now. I just can't wait to find out the sex of my baby so I can go mad buying a bunch of gender specific MCN's. I now have about 22 MCN's either bought second hand or given to me by friends to start me off and I am really looking forward to the journey of cloth nappies. I did however buy a small supply of newborn huggies for the first week of mec nappies and settling in. Wish me luck everyone!!

    Hi ladies!

    Loving using MCN's on my new bub! We have a combination of BumGenius (which have been FANTASTIC) and sized BBH Magic-Alls which were great at first but the last few weeks have leaked a few times. I strip washed them all but that hasn't made a difference - the last few times they leaked was after DH did the nappy change so he may not be doing them up tight enough?

    No nappy rash and amazed that a double-stuffed BumGenius is somehow lasting overnight from about 10pm until 5 or 6am

    I'm also really surprised by how easy it all is! While I was pregnant, if I mentioned we were planning to do cloth, everyone told me we'd be lucky to last a week. Sure showed them

    I love that We have used 7 sposies. Ever. 5 in 2010, 2 in 2011, hopefully 0 in 2012!

    This rash just isn't shifting. I haven't done Canesten rinse yet, thanks for the idea CW!

    We got Panadol stains this week too, after vaxes! We found that Dymadon didn't stain, but now that we're more than halfway through the bottle, it is. And I totally forgot, so my favourite pretty is all stained! It will come out, CW, just wash and sun and wash and sun and wash and sun - ecostore whitener can help too, but repeated wash and sun is the best bet, I reckon.

    Well we're off to the chemist to go and blast this rash with something hardcore. It's getting worse, not better. I'm using all my non-PUL nappies now to see if that helps. Can't do fitteds/flats with no covers because she can rip them off

    this reminds me to start looking for prefolds and fleece covers next month (can't afford any until at least then) for the next bub. Well I could look but I can't buy til Feb at the earliest.

    Sounds like that rash is a nasty one Audax - hopefully the chemist can help there with something to clear it up.

    We're still liking our ittis here for DS when at home except for nighttime (sposies for CC ). Our attempt at GF night nappies didn't work a while back and I've been too slack to do anything about it.
    .... reminds me I need to get my butt into gear and list some stuff on the MCN FB page

    Which MCN page are you on leckert? I need to sell some nappies to cover my new ones, and I'm on MCN Australia buy/swap/sell, and then a girl on fb randomly added me to BUY AND SELL YOUR MCN'S (modern cloth nappies). I'm sure there are more, but I don't know where would be best for me to go!

    Another good MCN day, really no hassle for a NB. Went with sposies last night but I think with an extra insert we'd probably be okay. I'll use the sposies I have and then try.

    hi!!

    I'm finally putting in for some MCN =D yay!! I'm going to get a bunch of BBH multifit magic alls. Now they come with 2 boosters, but you can put extra in. so should I buy some extra boosters?? OR will my terry flats work? (because i have them too to start out with)

    Hi Teirae! Wahooo for you!

    You'll be fine with the inserts you get for the Multifits. They weren't a great fit here, so I'm glad I didn't get too many. Do try and share the love between brands a little bit - only not too much, otherwise it can get confusing with all the different inserts. I've never had a problem with it, but my helpers find it a convenient reason not to do nappies. Which is fine - it's my fave "chore" anyway

    We got Hydrozole at the chemist. DD's name is spelt wrong on the label. Totally our own fault for giving her on of "those" names, but I still wish the chemist had checked. I offered him my Medicare card and everything. DD's just started a new probiotic this week too, so I think that's not helping too much. But at least she's not constipated anymore.

    Hey girls I have a bunch of the really old style nappies. The ones u fold urself. Anyway I was trying to find those little three way elastic grip things to use instead of nappy pins. Can't find them anywhere tho. Tried big w and woolies and the local bubs shop. Anyone have an idea where I could get one from?

    T- don't buy too many of the one type, especially osfm nappies, until bub is here and you know their size/shape.

    Bella- they are called snappi's. i have seen them at supermarkets and chemists.
