Cloth Nappy General Discussion #202

**Saffy** · January 28th, 2014, 09:11 AM

There's a Facebook site called 'MCN but swap sell' I am a member, I think they recently made it private or closed due to spam issues so I don't know how you join, will investigate for you.

**Saffy** · January 28th, 2014, 09:13 AM

It's actually called buy and sell your MCNs, I can add you, pm me your Facebook name :-)

I have 3 large needing a home

Lemme check and get back to you. We've killed a couple of nns in the last few months through overuse!

Saffy I'd like to join the group too, will PM you.

Big thank you to those who recommended the GroVia Magic Stick. It's working a treat on DD2's mild but persistent nappy irritation. And it smells nice!

Ok quick random question. Spock is going to day care tomorrow, first time ever (her and me..eek). And they said thry are happy for the cloth. I just have to supply them (easy). I should label them right? If so how??? Help!

**luna moth** · February 11th, 2014, 02:02 PM

Sew on labels would be the best way, but probably a bit late for that. You could always ask them? Are you taking a wetbag? All the nappies will be put straight in there, so it's unlikely to be a big issue, if you want to wait for some labels.

**~TT40~** · February 11th, 2014, 02:34 PM

Yea, I've written our last name on the wet bag. They weren't phased with the cloth, but I was under the impression no one else was in cloth.. I might see how we go and just not supply my favourites just yet until I know how the system works. Thanks LM.

Hmm do I need snappis or similar for my newborn prefolds? Or will they stay in place I. The cover?

**HotI** · March 5th, 2014, 05:56 PM

you can just fold them into themselves if you don't have snappies

**Ladylove** · March 5th, 2014, 06:01 PM

Ok cool. Thanks Hotl.

Slowly adding to my newborn stash for the arrival of DD2. We have heaps of small sized bambooty and ittibitti delish from when DD was new but we had so many waterfalls and poosplosions because while she was only just under average weight she had skinny thighs .... Anyway that was enough of an excuse for me to add to the stash second time around. I now have about 12 cheap prefolds, a few Rumparooz 'lil Joey, Bumboo and Bubblebubs newborn covers- the Rumparooz look especially petite- and a couple of old model Grovia newborn AIOs. The Bubblebubs looks a bit roomy for a newborn but has double gussets. The Grovia look nice and compact. Also increased my Grovia terry wipes pile which I use with coconut oil as bum wipes. Is it odd I get more excited about MCNs than baby clothes?!

**Jennifer13** · March 6th, 2014, 09:31 PM

I found Rumparooz have only done us for six weeks here and DD3 started out at 2.86 kgs. Wasn't reaching for them very much as they didn't hold everything in as well as my others. But we're now moving into OSFM and using smalls otherwise. My baby is getting chunky!

So exciting to be getting out the nb fluff though, LL!

**~TT40~** · March 8th, 2014, 03:10 PM

So, ignoring all the fantastic things about cloth, you know what my new favourite thing about them is? They are solely responsible for Spock learning her colours! As they are all different bright colours, I've been telling her what colour one I out on her for a while, and now she says it first! And I can offer her two and she will tell me which colour =)

**Ladylove** · March 9th, 2014, 10:40 AM

Yep we used our nappies to help teach DD her colours too. Now she even knows the finer colours like light blue, pale pink, gold etc.

**~TT40~** · March 9th, 2014, 05:54 PM

That's our next step LL =) as she has a couple of 'tan' 'off white' 'light brown' ones and different shades of purple etc I really struggle with describing,

**Pholi** · March 10th, 2014, 12:01 AM

Great idea with the colours! Gonna start doing that now.

What age did your bubs start getting the hang of colours?

**Ladylove** · March 10th, 2014, 12:31 AM

About 18 months? Just prior to that she sort of instinctively 'knew' differences between colours as when she was playing I noticed she started to group certain colours together- blocks, pencils etc- but could not articulate it, so that if I said to her 'can you put the two yellow blocks together' for example she wouldn't have been able. But yeah, could articulate / verbalise many colours by 18 months or so.
