forgot I use a few gf night nappies as well.
I do have one gf nn for ds1 but honestly for some reason ive only ever had him wear it for day sleeps without the snap in booster. Really should give it a go for nights, at least I could probably get away with not buying more for him straight away then (have a super undies to).
I still wasn't able to get hold of the girls at booloo aus baby supplies or rc baby creations, felt like everyone was against me buying nappies from them today lol
Hi girls,
I've just started using MCNs on my 4month old boy. So far I've got some china cheapy nappies (friend was selling them) and some eBay specials.
They seem to be fine for now. :)
I was just wondering what some of the abbreviations mean? ( ie WOHB?)
Feel free to contact me hsm.

The wool covers are my favourite for night too. They breathe without leaking and the nappy seems to dry a little bit (or at least, it's nowhere near as soaked when I take it off). It's also softer and comfy, no digging around legs and bellies. Plus, it's completely covering the nappy and then some.
They only need airing between uses, unless soiled, and they don't retain smell. I lanolised mine before use so they really last in the waterproofing dept.
I tried making my own, but I'm a bit slow and only got one done. I also found some Disanas on a US website much cheaper than any I've seen over here.
WOHB: pink Rumparooz
i need more covers for my nn. might give wool a go =) thankyou Jen.

i have some wool covers that you could try, mainly boy colours though
Chrispe, I have some eBay cheapies too, while they don't hold as much, I've found them super soft and comfy, plus dh likes them cos they're the easiest to whip on :) I wondered what the abbreviation meant too, took me awhile to figure out lol! Are you mcn-ing full time or trying it out?
Jennifer, do you remember the website for the disanas, if so could you pm me? Thanks! I love knitting but prob don't have time with dd now against day naps sigh! I could probably get my mum onto it tho :lol:
hsm, any luck today?
Well my boo's have held up fine, no leaks but I definitely need a better cover, I can see potential leak areas! Sounds like wool is the way to go!
hi kitten =). yes sorry i havent replied you your pm yet. i will once i get Spock to sleep =)
Thanks Williamsmum and Cattie,
I'm part-time MCN, I don't have any NN yet they are in the post.
Trying cloth is one of my new years resolutions.
My SIL told me today she is also going cloth (mix of MCN and old style cloth) we are both sick of forking out so much money to literally throw it in the bin!
Anyone here use totsbots bamboozles as nn? Love love love and we've NEVER had a leak. They are fab!
Yeah we use all tots products Melissa - love them. Where did you get yours?
I have heaps of tots bots MCNs (picked up about 10 from someone on Gumtree in perfect condition for $10 each). They're the ones I keep especially for the nanny and DP. Never had a leak with the normal ones. I also got some of their pull ups, they look really good.
Currently, nappy changes are hard, because DD2 won't lie down still for long enough!
WOHB: BBH cream minky Magicall with extra booster
We get them from Nappy Days (an NZ website), so helpful there too.
Very interested in wool soaker pants. Excuse my ignorance but am I right in thinking that they are used instead of something like a pul cover?
yep used instead of the PUL covers.
WOHB - "where is the green sheep" side snaping nappy
Ok fellow mcn lovers. Is there any point in using a liner if DD's poos are runny from bm/ formula feeding? She's 14 weeks old.
Also, should I be rinsing them in a bucket before putting in dry pail?
I do a rinse in the washing machine before the wash.
How important is it to do a warm or hot wash for nappies like the directions say? I'm currently doing a cold wash with ecologic laundry liquid.
Thanks :-)
I wouldn't bother with liners til she's a bit older and on solids. I also don't bother rinsing before dry pailing and also wash on normally cold or lukewarm. I'll save the hot washes for strip washing. Just MHO - see what others say!
We use liners (DS is 4 months on not on solids) which are flushable as well as washable. So if it's a pooey nappy, we drop the liner in the loo, carrying ,most of the poo with it. If it's just wet, it goes into the bucket with the nappies. We get maybe 4-5 washes out of each liner before they become too tatty to effectively catch poo.
I prefer the idea that most of the poo goes into the loo, not into my washing machine. And pooey nappies can leave bits of poo above the waterline on the central stem (it's a top-loader) when you drop them in, which would get on other things in the next wash. I love my liners. We also have a Little Squirt (which power-hoses the poo into the loo) to handle any poo that gets through the liner or onto the cover.
Our nappies (GroVia hybrids) do fine with a cold rinse then cold wash - we use eco-balls.
