As for my bumgenius nappy I'm pretty certain its the fabric to, just double checked and its organic cotton so I guess it likes holding onto stains a lot more than other fabrics?
That's interesting about the gf nappies coz I emailes her asking about them as 'teeny weenys' and she replied back saying she wasnt sure what I meant but maybe it was the trimsies. :dunno:
Hmmm. Bit confusing isn't it. Maybe she thought you were referring to teeny weeny as a brand rather than as a reference to them just being newborn sizes, so thought you had that confused with the trimsies brand? The website shows her small size starting at fitting a 3.5kg bubba. She's got her kids on holidays at the moment so maybe she was a bit distracted.
Miss A went into her first medium GF at 4 months old, and she's a bit of a lightweight despite starting off as a big boofa, so I would think it wouldn't take too long before your new squishy miss was fitting the small size if she happened to not fit them at birth. I hadn't discovered GF when Miss A was born, so I can't comment on the fit on a newborn.
Both my kids have worn GF smalls from newborn - probably from about 2 weeks old? That's not because they wouldn't fit before that, more because I needed to get my money's worth out of prefolds and smaller MCNs before they got too big! They're a very flexible fit - at about 5 months, my DD1 could fit small, medium and large GFs.
Hoping you ladies might be able to give me some advice. With little miss teething at the moment, her wee is smelling quite strong and I am struggling to get that smell out of her nappies! I've tried washing and drying them in the sun a couple of times and they still smell of wee! Any idea what I can do?
Rinsing immediately was advised to me when we had very strong wee and resultant damage to the fibres of the nappies. I think the advise came too late for me to save the nappies, but the minute I get a whiff of ammonia now, the nappy gets rinsed before it goes in the drypail.
A tablespoon or two of bicarb to the wash helps with the smell too.
yay more fluffy mail =) currently drying, cant wait to try them out.
now I am officially on a ban tho... we have enough to get us through winter (I hope....no we do!) I keep trying to justify by saying im preparing for when we have 2 in nappies etc.. but have now added 10 more to the stash so that shoid do...should...
Lol then you don't want to hear about the itti bitti seconds sale.......
=) I dont use ittibitti..did try then when Spock was brand new and they didn't fit so sold them. I find its best to just avoid them completely now =)
Yeah I now what you mean. My chunky babies don't seems to fit Ittis either. Most of our nappies are BBH.
i'm actually an itti convert and at present they are the biggest amount in my stash- partly because they were throwing out old colours for really cheap and also because DD is fitting into smalls and mediums for now. I think they have a good resale value too. I'm finding them better than I thought esp the snap-in-ones which dry as quickly as my bambooty easy dries.
I had a look at the sale but really can;t justify buying more, or afford it- boooo
I Looovvvveeee itti's!!!! I only like the all in ones though, I just sold off all my sio's
I use mainly peapods and my own pull-ups during day, found ittis leaked around the legs. Ds can even wee through a bitti boo in 10-15mins if he does one big wee. Then I have sandmans and bbh for night with WAHM wool covers.
Hiya mcn mummies :-)
I've read somewhere in this thread about canesten wash. I found canesten rinse to go in the fabric softener section of the washing machine. Is this the product that people use for getting thrush out if nappies etc or is there a wash product available too please?
That's it frangipani Lou.
Thanks WM :-)
im not sure FL, but the other girls will.
I just got a bunch of cherub kisses, does anyone know if they need a cover?
I have a bunch of freecycled nappies, mostly old Motherease, with a few various assorted others, and I was wondering what keind of wash others would put them through before using them - a strip wash? Canestan rinse? Normal hot wash with detergent? Something else? I think I might use these as night nappies, as well as to increase my stash for winter when it takes longer to get everything dry.
