How exciting Tan

On the fabric softener, I'm not sure as I don't use it. I also use Enjo and was told by the consultant that you needs at least three washes after a fabric softnener wash to get rid of the residue from the machine

Before I got a LS I kept a roll of toilet paper in the laundry and scraped the poo off with a teaspoon onto it and then flushed it away. I'm finding that newborn poo doesn't LS off too well so I have been washing them as they are but with an extra pre wash with hot water and they come up beautifully. I figure it doesn't use more water to do that because I'd be LSing just about every nappy ATM.
Calebs poo is a different story though

When you peg them, lay them long ways across the line, not folded over. This helps to preserve the elastic as the nappies can be heavy when wet and the elastic will be under stress a lot.

You can never have too many wipes Can you sew or do you know someone who can? They are dead easy to make!
