YAY! New thread! So shiny and new and not 17 pages long

[leckert]

I was trying to say the same thing Crazy before you got here but my tapatalk wasn't liking me in the car while DS slept

To make it cloth related

WOBB lime green IB SIO before we go swimming this afternoon in a monkey doodle sports swim nappy

[CrazyLady]

lol, i have something cloth related now. Just finish nappy washing load and the snap in booster for DD's bonnibuns night nappy got wedged in the rubber coin catcher/seal thing........ still smells like wee......... gonna have to do whole load again.

WOCB: Um......... Daddy put it on but I think I saw a glimpse of Rasberry sorbet Abby Gro Minky all day. sure it was the pretty red one.

hi ladies, yes a new thread and I don't think I even posted in the last one I read all of your posts and keep learning and I had to say that my fav baby items are still my nappies! I just loooove my bamboo hault prefolds even if they do take forever to dry! Anyway I have a question. Is there a particular fleece as in micro fleece or any other kinds of regular fleeces which are best for liners or are there some which I should stay away from? I am thinking of just buying some fleece and cutting it up rather than paying for already made ones. TIA

[skybie]

hey cherished! look at ur ticker moving along hey!!!
u can make liners out of any kind of material. but just remember that bub may have a reaction to man made fibres like microfleece.
i use raw silk liners in DD2's nappies and i buy them premade because im slack!

Hey, some exciting news! Have 6 Bonnibuns pockets and 1 Ecobubs pocket (not the wool tho) on the way, hand me downs from SiL, so have hardly been used! To be fair, I bought them for her in the first place, but whatever! More fluff!

Cherished - whatever you decide, try to go for a knit fabric or something that won't fray (like silk would) otherwise you will have to edge it so that you can wash them without them fraying all over your house. Alternatively, zigzag edge them on your nifty sewing machine, or come over and use my overlocker You need so little for liners that it would be cheap enough to have a few of everything!

Ooo- cloth nappy chat! I'll see if I can keep up. Thread 186?????

Cherished- I use fleece liners I made myself. They are just regular polar fleece. I bought a couple of metres cheap as it was the end of a roll in the odds and bods bin. Super cheap and so easy to cut up. They have pilled on one side but I put the other side to his bot and they work well. Personally I didn't use liners before starting solids though- BF poop washes out so well. Though I should have used them in the first few days to catch the menconium- that stains forever!

#1 - Soooo onto this - my early days liners are black! I actually bought it for SiL, who can't stand the thought of stains, and figured it's quite a good idea.

#2 - Are you stalking me?

[Asparagus and Lemons]

audax.. how is silk with the sewing? I've been thinking of making some silk liners but am too scared I'll wreck them, I keep thinking the silk would be too slippery? Also what kind of thread would you use? Would you use nylon or cotton?

[meow]

#2 - Are you stalking me?

I was thinking the same thing. Ya gotta plan that homebirth now and we can chat in the homebirth thread too

[Kitt3n]

Hey guys - ooh meow we are very close in our EDD's and we are planning a HB too!!

I am waiting on some fluff for the new bub - more kissaluvs and some more beetlebum pockets are on the way for miss laa!

she has her first ever case of a little more than a bit of redness as far as nappy rash is concerned - last night she did a poo and we didn't realise (nor did she tell us!) - by the time we changed her it was RED! Slowly going away but damn I feel bad!

WOHB - Sugar Shot Ai2 (OBV inner for the rash!) and a slash of miessence butt cream and miessence baby bum powder

[luna moth]

poopie - most silk fabrics actually aren't that slippery. Don't get anything in a satin type fabric, as it would be. It's often more expensive too. It's pretty easy to sew with - just use a fine needle.

meow - HB sounding better and better with doc not having sent bluddy referral to the hospy! Might do a Kitten and change my mind at 30 weeks

Oh, and guess what? I got my huuuuuge DDU package today. Can't bring myself to put the fluff away, I've got it sitting right next to me. So luscious! DH is in love too - he had a little rant when we were opening the package, saying "Why on earth would you want to put anything else on a baby? This stuff is so beautiful!" Arrrrr. Married him for a reason

[meow]

Oh our dates are close together Kitten! Only 5 days apart! I'm HB buzzing today cause I met our midwife for the first time.

I haven't thought much about nappies for this baby yet. I have 6 retired bumgenius nappies I need to fix (and I need to fix the other ones we're using too as the elastic is starting to go on those) but other than that I was thinking of using flannel flats and covers for newborn this time. My son was big so I used all our OSFM nappies from birth but the bumgenius were the only ones I really liked from that early on. And we'll still be using all our nappies on him so I need something for the little bub anyway.

[AngelPants]

audax- owww im so jealous of ur DDU package!! tomorrow i plan on taking advantage of any stock left... if the sale is even still on :'(

*SIGH* i just wanna buy everything i see at the moment, super nesting bug i think...or poopie infecting me with the bug *shakes fist*

[Asparagus and Lemons]

hehehe..

[halltribe]

BBH large minky snaps on sale in ebay for $12.50 as seconds. They were made too large so suitable for babes 12kg up. My babes too weedy but good if anyone has chunky bubbas.

[CrazyLady]

Thanks for the heads up! bummer, i have a scrawny bummed DD. I really don't mind the BBH.

Stupid new washing powder I use for DP's uniform left resdiue in the washing machine and burnt DD's poor little rear. Not a happy little girl! To top it off DP's uniforms didn't wash properly either so I had to redo them again.....

Having mega fluff buying withdrawls!

WOCB: errrrrrrr Maz night nappy in black damask print minky. Hoping she stays asleep after last night's restlessness.
