Oh, Bella, kissaluvs are lush! Night nappies can look pretty bulky on a newbie. Do you have some OSFM fitteds like BBH or Bubblebubs Bamboo Delights? They were plenty as an overnighter for us. If you have some microfleece-topped boosters, you could possibly chuck them in some other fitteds to do the job for night time. Other than that, to get DH into cloth (he was pretty supportive though) I arranged the nappies so that the easiest ones were on the left, the "trickier" (fitteds + covers, side snaps) on the right, and we each worked inwards. I change far more than he does, so he's never had to stray too far from the velcro AIOs.
We're packing to go to Melbs, so the nappies for that have been put aside, it's pelting with rain, and the bucket is full. So I'm down to about 6 terry flats and 3 fitteds to get through the next day and a half and 2 nights. May have to crack the emergency stash soon! :lol: I have so many nappies, I'm really not sure how it came to this...

Audax ~ Ive worked out, and I'm only new and havent even used them for real yet... BUT.. you can never have too many =)
-
Have just gone and tallied up how much I have spent on nappies in the last 3 weeks and am officially on a self imposed ban from the mcn buy sell swap fb page! Omg I just barely noticed spending that much! Whoops! Bit embarrased so won't mention how much lol! Hope DH doesn't notice!

Hey audax do you want to borrow some nappies? We are giving up cloth - and I haven't sold any yet - so you are welcome to borrow some to get you through if you need to.
-
Here you are. I lost the thread.
Can anyone tell me where to buy flushable liners in bulk? DD is starting to do interesting poos, right now between milksoft and solid and sticky as anything.
MNB: why are you giving up cloth?
--'--,--'--

I get the bambio mio liners from target and they are so soft! Atm I have spme other ones, maybe bumG ones? Dont like them as much tho!
I have started making my own! Yay!! Fattycakes ans hippy hippy snap pattern, out of the 3 I have made, 2 are too big lol. So making a few more tomorrow and selling off some of my others :) so far I have only done 4 layers of bamboo fleece for boosters, but I might do a trifold and mini booster next.. Just for extra boosting :)
I need some new night nappies too.. Dd has trouble fitting her M bitti boo's with any extra boosting and they dont last overnight without it! Has anyone seen bubblebubs GNST on sale anywhere?

fluffy mail arrived in the form of many $s of ittis delish and tuttos. So cute. Worked out with mum tonight that if I had Leon in huggies disposables until he was 3 I would be spending close to $1600 to fill a landfill. I spent less than $300 and now will have enough (ok a few here and there will be needed, maybe some bubbamoos and rumparoozs) until he is toilet trained, mum the eternal scrimper but cloth nappy sceptic was quite surprised. So this week I must photograph the outgrown nappies and the hated magicals (mediums) and get them sold.

Bella, what do you think of the motherease? I have their Sandy's and used them for the first time yesterday. I thought they were pretty good. I'm venturing out beyond the AIO/2s now. ;)
Nerd: what happened?
WOHB: Bright pink cheeky butts mini AIO

Jen the mother ease was a little too big on her. Needs to wait probably til she is bigger. But easy to use.
Womb: nothing... Nappy off time. One of her nappies has irritated her skin badly. She has a rash all over her precious skin on her tummy and legs and bum where it touched....:(. Not sure how to figure out which has done it. Was it the nappy fibers, or a residue of someones detergent?
-
Bella - what was the inner material?
As for those who asked - giving up cloth cos the girls rash up straight away now and I've tried all inners and I'm just a bit over fighting it to be honest. I've been doing cloth for nearly 4 years now, clothed 4 children, so I think I've done my bit for the environment! More than others anyway lol kelti is toilet trained now and Eden is expressing interest in the potty so it may not cost me too much in sposies.
So if anyone is on the lookout for medium or larges, let me know. They are mostly widdlewuns though. And girly. Mostly.
-
MrsNB: You did an awesome job with cloth :) Sad you have to give it up, but if they're getting a rash instantly I guess it just isn't worth it. Do they get a rash with flats too? I can't remember if I texted you back about nappies, but I'm sure there are a few I'd be interested in :).
I have gone a bit spend-crazy on DD for nappies recently. She does need them. I received a second fluffy bubs in the mail today, and it so gorgeous! I also have a new fluffy bubs (with a mathcing dress) and a DM on the way.
-
I'm having an ongoing problem with rash on dd, too. So I alternate between cloth and disposable. Definitely disposable overnight.

Well yesterday she was in a real mixture of nappies. She was in kissaluvs and cherubs kiss then motherease. Didn't use a liner yesterday...
-
fluffy mail today - maz NB covers :loveshower: and doll nappy covers for DS to use on his bears.

Ah no, MNB! You've certainly done your bit, it was more disappointment on your MCN farewell! Make sure you pop in to give us newbies advice from time to time. Hope the girls' rashes disappear.
Bella - poor M. :( I wonder what it could be? Touch wood, no issues here yet. Now H is a little bigger I have heaps more nappies I can use. I have some small prefolds as well. I'd be tempted to try a OSFM but I'd rather use my NB stash first.
How long do you usually get in NB MCNs?
WOHB: A Whizz Kids prefold with a BBH PUL cover (pink ladybirds - very pretty!)

Jen - I loved Sandyses! Our smalls fit until 7 months, was pretty impressed with that! Good on you for getting into the fitteds, I found they were so much better at containing everything. DD was a fortnightly poo-er, so around about day 10 I'd start to get nervous, but we didn't have many leaks at all. Helped that she didn't like pooing in nappies. Still doesn't. Prefers a freshly mopped floor. :lol: As for how long - I had a 4kg baby, but we got anywhere from 4 weeks to a few fitteds that she's still wearing, the TotsBots fitteds, which are 2SFM.
MNB - you are what?? :O Jaw to the floor! Things I thought I'd never hear! :lol: We're off to Melbs for 6 days, so we'll be OK, having packed 18 nappies was our main problem, really. I thought we might have to crack out the homemade naps for a minute, but luckily we weren't that desperate. The rash is annoying! We are having to work really hard to keep on top of it too - I think it's this really funky air we're dealing with making things worse. It's been a bit of a nightmare, so I don't blame you for giving it up.
leckert - DD's dolly is Not. Allowed. Nappies. She screams and grunts and sobs if I even try. I put on a face washer like a terry flat today, and that was allowed for a little while, but then it had to come off. Clearly she is an EC baby. Or maybe she has a very bad rash!
Bexie - I have a GNST kicking around here somewhere that we don't use. Medium, though, will that be big enough for you? Let me know.
WONB: Boosted terry flat.

Grrrrr this wet weather is making drying a slow process. Lucky I have lots of nappies! I am loving the BBH PUL covers. Wonder if I need some more? :think: ;)
