    Geez we go through these threads huh..

    Marlene - of course you were missed - everyone misses everyone

    Hey - talking of a missing person - has anyone heard from Mel lately (no not ME of course, the other Mel who used to be in here AGES ago from Brisbane??) Can't remember her username for the life of me

    I'm like, so proud of myself, cooked dinner!! Sounds so normal doesn't it? Usually its hard to cook with either baby strapped to my hip in the arvo's but he was sleeping and she was happy spitting out grapes onto the carpet and playing with pegs! (really, pegs are the BEST invention!!)

    WOTB's - soggy nappies that I so desperately need to change!

    No but I have noticed Missy Moo Mel hasn't been in here lately. I assume she is just really busy househunting.

    Bugger to the extreme BG!!! I hope you have told DH's boss do they can shorten the trip and get the casual to meet him asap.

    Em is a sook, she is hungry. DH is trying to cook tea and she wont leave him alone.

    Hello

    I just wanted to share that I'm getting into the cloth nappy thing too..

    My DD is 5 weeks and I have now worked out how to get the nappies on her and using covers and boosting and it all seems to be going swimingly. I need to build up me stash though as I only have enough at the moment for part time, but thats better than nothing, huh?

    Arimeh, you sent me instructions for the MotherEase nappies and I have to tell you, I was still dubious, but I have found them to be excellent nappies. I boost them with the bamboo squares from Baby Beehind and they are fantastic. I put 2 squares in last night and DD slept for 6 hours!! AND her bum still felt dry when I changed her nappy, even though the nappy was pretty heavy with the moisture.

    So this is my stash so far...

    4 x BBH bamboo
    4 x MotherEase bamboo
    5 x Cushie Tushie Couture
    12 x BBH bamboo squares

    My faves are the BBH & the MotherEase...What should I try next?

    TIA

    WOW new thread... Marlene i Missed u hun...

    I also noticed a few people missing... although the tghread moves fast it still is quiet.

    Been using flats all afternoon cos i had to try my new Maz cover...

    Welcome Winter...

    NaNa- I loved using the flats and figured why change if its not bothering me... But i decided to check them out once DD started wriggling round a bit more and the rashes form the casual sposies were just too much too often... But THANKS... glad everyone convinced me...

    Loving the new Maz sets... i sooooo want a ladybug... ( i know, i know its for tiahna... lol)

    YAY BG for fluffymail... cant wait til i pay my layby and get my stuff... OOOOHHH WW... YAY

    hey girls, i'm still about.

    A lot has been happening here. More dramas with Dave so I have cut contact Just can't deal with it all. Sometimes I wonder what the hell is going through his head. Ashton is good though...

    Nappy news...

    Well I started washing in cold with powder and surprise surprise they not only started to rash on Ashton but they started smelling ... YUCK! So I had to rewash them in hot with nothing again and they smell heaps better...

    I'll tell you what though, once they start eating food... PUKE!

    What should I try next?
    Hi Winter

    What recommendations are you after? More fitteds, or something like a cute AI2 or some pockets.... or some AIO's?

    There are sooooo many good brands out there that I'm sure everyone will say you just HAVE to try

    BG - buggers babe

    Missy Mel - I'm glad you are taking care of your emotional wellbeing too sweets!

    WOTB's: night nappies still. He's still in his monkey suit and she's still asleep.

    Hey all,
    Have been lurking, but not much to say. Bubbys bum is a cloth one I am happy to say. However it is getting bigger.....
    Quick Q, was there some chat about a member here setting up a B4B type thingy? Otherwise is B4B the best place to offload some outgrowns?
    Waiting on my first batch of post birth fluff. Yay.
    Also, pls help me.
    I am lazy, I have decided my fave nappies are aio's, in particular pockets with aplix. (these also best suit DP, MIL and anyone else who changes him)
    I have a bunch of BBB and BBH but by the time i put them on plus a cover, lil mans butt is mega, and when I lay him down, his bottom half is higher than his top half and he seems to spew more in bed.
    The only thing that gets me using them is my lovely maz covers
    So do I keep em? will this problem get better as he grows? (am thinking it will) or do I just accept the fact I am a lazy bugger and flog em and get "easy" nappies. Dont want to regret getting rid of them but dont want to keep 12 odd nappies I dont use.

    I'd keep them Shell (and welcome back !!)

    You might need them when he's older, not puking as much and they don't make his bum as big! Plus they would be more absorbent than AIO's - so might be good for night time use.

    I use our BBB's during the day here for both kids - I love them!!
