My bank account told me to tell you to shush!:
Can someone remind me how many NB MCNs are needed (not wanted but needed)?
A friend at church asked me yesterday and I couldn't remember - I did say I preferred fitteds with or without covers - the prefolds didn't really get a look in with DS2 - ended up too hard and we did disposables mostly until he was out of the newborn Huggies.
I have some pocket OSFM that I'll show her but she has a preference at this stage for the SIO style (we use itti SIO here mostly - med & large)
Thanks for your suggestions regarding my newborn stash. I have ordered 6 prefolds, even if I don't end up needing them, can always use them in pockets later on :)
Showed my Mum and my Granny my nappy stash yesterday - gone are the days of folding & pins. They were impressed!
I have one Grovia but I don't like it TBH.
I got a Genesa Forge pretty and haven't looked back. Her nappies are just the best in terms of a really trim fit, really good absorbency and no leaks. The pretties are just beautiful, but her workhorses are still gorgeous and a good price - cheaper than the Grovia and sooooo much better - for my girl anyway ;-)

Thanks so much for all the info on nb nappies - definitely have a lot of shopping to do!
Lulu I love gf nappies, they are so good. They fit my ds so well and I've never had a leak. Love love love.
Get some teeny weeny GFs sepata ;-)
Omg best suggestion lulu! I emailed her and she can do some as a custom order :D
does pawpaw cream do anything to mcn?
I got fluffy mail today =)
and my other dilemma. ..I seem to have misplaced a nappy... I just realised I havent seen it for a while...im dont have an extra insert floating around, so makes me think they are together somewhere, I really hope they are clean where ever they are =\
Don't use Lucas brand paw paw (red tube/tub) as that has petroleum in it so stops absorbancy
thanks L, thats what i have...I will have to sus out other brands.
I'm so devo I cant find this missing nappy...it was in my top 3 =( I really hope it turns up somewhere...
on a plus note though, I got fluffy mail today, and she accidently sent me the wrong nappy, but told me to keep it and she is going to resend the right one =) so free nappy =D
You'd better not be bumping my custom down the line sepata ;-) That's great Nikki can do you some. She is just so lovely to deal with. They don't really cost much, if anything, more than the big commercial brands and I would so much rather support the WAHMs. Plus they're so much more gorgeous
T - that's a bugger about your nappy. Hate to say it, but could you have thrown it out by mistake? I didn't have my wetbag when I was out one day when L was only a few weeks old and so used a nappy sack, and it obviously got thrown out by mistake - one of my favourite nappies and the most gorgeous all in one that was the victim of a pooplosion so it was in the bag too. So annoyed with myself still. I hope that's not the case for you, and that its just fallen behind some drawers, caught up in a wrap or something. What fluffy mail did you get?
If you need any other suggestions, I use Aromababy nappy balm and its beautiful, and no problem with MCNs
yea I dont know.. I have forgotten the wetbag once and know I remembered that nappy.
ill just have to get another one
Tt oh no! Under the seat or in the boot of the car?? Hope you find it soon. As for pawpaw I've just started using natures care baby pawpaw and so far I quite like it, can get it just in the baby isle at woolies its in a big pink tube and definitely has no petrochemicals.
Lulu I'm so sad for you losing lovely nappies I would be mortified if I threw out any mcn... Have rescued a few the children have 'helped' with over time by putting in the bin! I love your suggestion on gf teenys tho maybe I can get in on the customs while shell be making them anyway ;)
On another note has anyone got suggestions for staining? I only have one nappy that stains (it did from the very first poo!) It's a bumgenius organic elemental and it makes me sad I can never fully get the poo marks out coz its my favorite nappy to use for ds2 at night but he often does a stinker as soon as he wakes so I'm not sure if I want to buy more if I can't work out someway to keep them looking nice like all my other nappies. Any suggestions?
You could try using velvet or sunshine soap on it K and then putting it stain side up lying flat in the sun. I've found lots of sun time generally moves poo stains. Its panadol stains I struggle with.
Can you put a liner in at night if this is main time he stains the nappy? you can get washables or disposables.
Hmm could try some sunshine soap on it but has been strip washed and that didn't move it. I always dry in the sun (and lots of it here in wa atm) which always works on other nappies just not this one for some reason. I also always have a liner in it, only a flushable though maybe I should try a microfleece? Tho not having a lil squirt and ds often doing not so solid poos I don't really like that idea :)
Btw lulu the gf nappies you mentioned did you just mean small trimsies?
Maybe its the particular fabric of that nappy - I know some of mine hold poo stains more than others.
No, not trimsies. Genesa Forge has her own designs. They're quite similar to trimsies, but maybe a little more generous in sizing. If you want to have a look at them compared to trimsies feel free to drop in sometime and have a look - I just might have a few of both styles ;-)
