Cloth Nappy General Discussion #199

Fold Over Elastic. Like on BBH covers, and some other brands I used to have. Was over a year ago, so I'm foggy as the Dalton Highway right now (was just watching Ice Road Truckers; forgive my randomness)

Swim nappies! I use Bonnibuns, because I got it as a freebie. Really happy with it, but we've never had a poo, maybe that's why! DD has been in the medium size since 7 months, not showing many signs of graduating either!

So.... what do you reckon I need to think about for when #2 arrives? So many options, and I just don't know! Mum reckons DD will toilet train by then. I think unlikely, and she will regress when baby arrives anyway. DH reckons just buy another pack of terry flats. I reckon not cute enough.
Kind of leaning towards a small stack of extra OSFMs, to cover all bases. I like to have lots of nappies; it rains so much and I'll never own a dryer. Thoughts, anyone?

Do you want NB nappies, Audax? I had a heap of Cheeky Butts minis that I loved. Microfleece and sized to last to about three months. Better NB nappies than Lil Joeys, which were good too. Sounds like you have enough OSFM, so in order to enable you further... ;)

I don't know what I want! I have about 24 NB napps, plus terry flats and about a dozen OSFM. DD is well and truly covered with her stash, even if I take out the OSFMs and dedicate them to the newbie. So I think maybe I'll be OK. I have a few out on loan, trying to call those back in as soon as I can - haven't announced yet, and they are all over the country. But I guess I have a while.

I have a friend up here with a massive stash to clear, I swam in it today, and I won't have to pay postage if I get any of hers. So if I decide to get more, that's where I'll be buying.

You are covered! Maybe some new pre folds, since DD is using them for her dolls? ;)

Yeah, I make my own prefolds, we didn't use them for long on DD though, she outgrew them! I had no idea she'd be so big.

I'm covered, BUT it does get rainy up here, and I like to be able to have enough nappies for a full week without washing. (I wash, but they take so long to dry)

In other news, I have had DD in microfleece inner NNs for the last 4 nights and her rash is *so* much better. I was using liners in her other ones, but they're obviously not as good. So I think all my micro inner naps will come to the fore this week.

Thanks for the tip on MooGoo. DD2 has been a little red and pawpaw helped but didn't clear it entirely. MooGoo seems to have done the trick! No staining either.

Loving our new TotsBots and BBHs still. I really need to get more Med covers. Must check out what's on sale. ;)

WOHB: BBH night nappy with MotherEase cover

Anybody tried knitting their own wool nappy covers? Any pattern tips for free (or cheap) online patterns?

I'm not bad at knitting and they mostly look simple. Just after something already tried and tested.

Yes, I've made one. Never used it as DD's thighs were too enormous for the leg holes I'd made. She takes after her mumma like that. Might have used the tiny birds pattern? Not sure. A friend who's a gun knitter has a good one; I'll ask for you.

I still have no idea about what I'll need for the new baby. I did do a quick stocktake though, put some new Larges into circulation, a Bubblebubs AIO (which was immediately taken out of circulation and into the cubbyhouse by DD) and some BBH petites. I used to hate those things, but on her now they're actually not bad. Just no good for her as a newborn. So I have 36 AIOs in current use, 6 fitteds, 4 NNs and 12 terry flats (I only bought 8, no idea where the other 4 came from) which is perfect for us right now. I'm covered for the newborn stage, but my question is what will I need beyond then? I guess I'll just find out when the time comes and buy accordingly.

WONB: Black BBH petite. Probably. She's out with her dad, so I don't really know :lol: But that's what she left in.

Well I'm giving an online pattern a go in a pretty green. Will give you feedback when it's done. But I'd love new patterns if they're out there! I'm making it in a medium and not using small needles, so hopefully the thighs will fit for her!

WOHB: Widdlewuns night nappy

Let me know how the cover goes! I'm looking for a longies pattern myself
I'm getting DH to build a new home for our nappies since I don't have the built in shelves I had at the old house

Oh that's weird.

I made some longies when pregnant with DD. They are perfect.... if you have a baby with large tumours on each of her inner thighs, ideally bigger on the left than the right. :rofl: So don't take advice from me.

DH is taking part in some lively FB cloth v sposie discussions. Some of the reasoning against cloth is really really lame.

I am being mildly entertained by how fascinated my MIL is with DS's nappies. Mind you, I did have him in his particularly cute uberbumz pretties yesterday. And it was DH's suggestion to put a pair of huggalugs on him rather than pants so his nappies were on show :)

I wish I could just put DD in huggalugs to show off her nappies but she does insist on taking them off and playing with her girlie bits :lol:

I can't knit (and don't have time) so I'm sure your longies are better than anything I could do, Audax.

WOEB: A sposie. With the bad weather & her growing too fast, I only have 4 days worth of nappies instead of the 6 I used to have. Since today is day 5, sposies it is. She is at daycare today & I miss her :cry:

YAAAAAAY!!! I just got fluffy mail :dance: Now to wash my nice spiffy new ocean nappies!

Hugalugs, that's a good idea too! I saw some longies patterns too. We'll see, let's get through this cover first. Going okay though so far.

Yay for fluffy mail! Won't be any more of that here. :(

WOHB: BBH hemp with pre fold booster and red BBH PUL cover. For the night.

Something has happened to a heap of DDs nappies and they are leaking or elastic not working or something (still investigaing) on the positive (ish), i will get to buy some more for DS as he grows and i know a few more brands that i can watch out for.

WOTB: both naked - ds just got out of shower and DD still in it!

Yay for nekkid babies!

WOAB - BBH magicall. Brown, I think.
