When my bub was about 10 weeks I bought a part time pack of itti bitti's and they were awesome.... But they had to be washed within 48 hrs and I hated having to do a load of washing for a handful if nappies!
Love the concept of mcn's but not for me. I sold them after only using them for about a month.

Wow you guys can talka lot ROFL
Tammie you dont need to wait to do a whole load of just nappies.. i just put mine through a rinse cycle then chuck other stuff in with them!!
so what is all the Hype with fitteds?? tell me more!
i just ordered a few more pockets... need a few to bulk out my stash.. at the moment we can go a day and a bit without needing to wash but im worried that in winter they wont dry as fast and i will be washing all day every day lol
Just have a sort of cloth related question here too..

A friend of mine went out an bought herself an entire stash of CT's - 30. I just hope they don't turn her off cloth, I know some people love them but I think most have an aversion to them.
WOMB - SS! fitted
WOAB - BB fitted

Mummabear- I use amber on DD and it really does help! She's a 6+ teeth at a time kid and when I lost my necklace for a few weeks it was absolute HELL! Within an hour of finding it and putting it back on she had settled X100!
Kitt3n- Hoping your friend does have better luck with CTs. I had kept all of mine in the nappy case for some reason and I litterally chucked them all out yesterday! after so much hastle getting 5 out of my 16 replaced I stopped bothering! I outright refuse to deal with the company now.
DD must be unwell or growth spurting. She slept through delivery guys delivering our oven. Off to lay down with her too I think!

I think I'm hooked on night nappies, finally...... we've now had 4 nights in bbh's and only just damp in the mornng. Now I just need to find covers of some type for when it finally cools down and bed times more then a nappy and singlet. Thinking shorties/longies only because she's such a pain to dress and can't imagine trying for an extra layer. Now to either find a pattern and hit the grannies up for knitting duty or just buy a couple of pairs which would probably be easier.
WOMB - ummm, can't remember she's sleeping, but I think it could be an itti

hi all, no nappy buying here for nowno cloth love at all at the moment
had about 3 days haning out drying friday, and it started raining, i went out to pull them off, by the time i got them off i was ankle deep in water! the back yard got to knee deep all up, had to re wash and they are still drying, so is the rest od fridays and saturdays, been in disposables since last night
i hope they finnish drying today, i almost put the sposie from last night in the nappy bin and all to!
i feel even worse someone posted this vid on fb this morning how sposies are made tho i fail to see how studdies have shown that disposables are better at eliminating nappy rash!? poor bub has blisters on her fan from ONE night back in them!! never knew how much effort and processes went into making them, it almost looks like making a mcn would be less hassles!
WOKB: sposie
ETA: yep we have amber here to, and its awsome! (also stoped ds2 stealing every tube of bonjella to eat yuck!)
Registered User
We have amber necklaces here too
No fluff goss. DH still doesn't know how to fold a flat, I think he just doesn't want to learn, thats the problem.
Other than that... uhh.. not much goin on down here in tasmaygia......

the only rash DS has had in cloth is from poo burn... otherwise, nothing... rash in sposies was the reason we switched!hi all, no nappy buying here for now

Mummabear - we have an amber necklace here. Got it on amberbebe.com.au. - eli's been wearing it since about 5 mths and while I can't tell you how much it helps with pain (I've got nothing to measure against since he didn't have any teeth then) it definitely stops the drooling! I love it and have had 2 friends try them also and they think it's made a difference for their bubs too.
As for washing the mcn's with other things... That was my own mental issue, I couldn't bring myself to wash the clothes and nappies together!
Sarah, I'm sorry your little girl reacted so badly to the sposies. We were the opposite here, I had the bamboo inserts and E got NR whenever we used the mcn's but only gets a little NR while teething with sposies... Every kid's different but I definitely find there's less NR with the sposies.
Registered User
thats the odd thing tho! weve only been in cloth since just befor chrissy full time, so i have no idea why she reacted like that so quick!!
i also dont wash the nappies with clothes, i rinse them out then put them on, if its only a few i put the machine on extra small load.
Arimeh, i still dont know how to fold flats!! ive got 6 weeks to master it tho, i guess ill get the folding right once i start getting covered in baby mess!

DD was like that but I HAVE to put her in sposies of a night or she gets even worse bum rash from wee burn. I put paw paw on her whole rear and make sure it gets whereever the sposie will go. If I forget one night she has painful "knickers" the whole of the next day!
I will have to learn how to fold a flat I guess, for now I am waiting to see if I have a boy or girl so I can maybe get some funky coloured Maz ones
Tammie- My older sister had to rewash 2 loads of clothes becaue she put 1 teething nappy with each load. I just adjust the water level so it's lower then a standard wash to do my daily/2 days worth loads.
WOCB: NFI, she's busy eating a sandwich so I'm not disrupting the peace

We used to have flat folding conventions at work, comparing new ideas. My DH can fold them, can snappi them, but never uses them - reaches for a fitted or a prefold every time
I think my little girl may be addicted to microfleece liners - she didn't have one in her nappy last night and had the worst sleep ever. Could be coincidence, but she did cheer up a lot when I took her nappy off.
