My nappy dilemma...

Yes, its true - i have a nappy dilemma..

Since I am going back to work in 2 weeks (boohoo) I have the kids in daycare for the 3 days.

Now - this is where my problem starts!!!

I only have enough BumG's to last DS two days at daycare (well I have 10 so I chuck in some HH's as well) so its nice and easy for the daycare ladies - I know there won't be any leaks and nobody call tell me its too hard.

I've only got 1 BG for DD and the rest of hers are all fitteds and covers.

Soooooo... my dilemma you may ask?? I need nappies for the daycare days!!! Is there any others rather than BG's that you guys can think of that are easy? I was thinking of buying more GK's and inserts for DS - cos would only need a couple more cos i already have 3 of them....

But what do I do with DD?? Arghhhh.. I was thinking of getting the BumG's AIO and then just sell them off when she goes up a size - but I would need at least 12 of them cos the daycare days are Monday, thurs, fri...

Sorry.. that was a lot of rambling wasn't it...

Hmm.. still... any suggestions would be great!!!

Cheers

I'm not sure if all Bum Genius nappies are the same now but mine expand so that they fit from birth to 2yo. They have the 3 stud expansion system. I love it!

yeah they have that but i was looking for a cheaper option :redface:

otherwise i would have to buy like, another 24 or something!!

hmmm

what about peapods or magicals hon...go on buy for baby and have a look there is over 100 nappys up atm OR get some IB d'lishes..they have excellent resale

yeah magicals don't work for us :( unfortunately considering I have 10 here for DD!!

i'm thinking I could probably get away with a 6 pack of green kids (cos if I run out for DD at least I can pinch them from DS's stash)... but... still need at least another 10 to cover her....

And this is assuming I'll have time to wash between work days..lol

I send BBBs and have them folded up inside the PUL cover. Seems to work for us.

Otherwise I send widdlewuns or BPs which are all quite easy.

seriously id just use what you have!! fitteds and covers arnt that hard and if they think they are then poo to them!

Yeah i guess AJP.. i just don't want to be a bother to them!! :redface: Silly I know...

Kaz - i don't have enough Widdlewuns!!! plus they start at 7kg which she isn't there yet...

Wow I know this is not an answer to your question, but how lucky my 19 month old gos 1 day a week to day care and thy just refuse to use cloth. They say it's for hygnene reasons!!!!
Good luck nikki

do most day cares allow cloth nappies? I didn't think they did so that's great your's lets you....

Can you just get more inserts and quickly wash your Bumg's outer cover and let it dry over night?

I know on rainy days, the BumG covers dry quickly and I just put new inserts in them waiting for the other inserts to dry.

Phoenix - yeah i could do that - but I didn't really want to put extra pressure on myself - its hard enough now getting enough nappies together to make sure they are in full time cloth - and I wash every 2nd day!!! Weather hasn't been very nice lately so everything has been taking ages to dry....

And yeah to the other girls - most day cares are fine with using cloth - although I know DS is the only kid that is in them - but with his new daycare (for the one day) are fine with using cloth too... and i'm sure he will be the only one there using them too... just not a common thing up here I guess

I think I'll have to do some shopping... ;)

And really, since I'm going to have a 3rd kid.. not like they will go to waste.. ;)

I just got a heap of sized BG's as osfa 's dont fit DD very well .. and i agree with the pea pods , they are cheap and easy ... (sounds like me in my highschool days :lol:)

swaddlebees AIO's (sized) and IB are great too .. i love SB ...

PMSL... nooo. that was ME!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yeah I was thinking about getting the sized ones - one BB member said she has 5 MD's that I can buy off her - so I would realistically need about 5 sized BG's.. which is doable in the budget I think.....

I'm pretty sure that NN still has them on sale too..
