Kel: I am using mostly flanellette flats and some fitteds, all I do when I take them off is rinse the poo off if there is any there and put them in a bucket - no soaking is required! Then when I have enough for a load I put them in the washing machine (water 60 degrees) and with only half normal amount of washing powder and then hang them in the sun - the water and the sun sterilize and the sun also bleaches out any stains that might be on them - although I have only had stains once. The older generation will tell you you need to sterilize and soak nappies but you don't as long as you wash them on hot they will be fine (I have a front loader and it has temperatures on it). It's easy peasy! Oh and I also do exactly the same for fitteds (and pockets which are my favorite kind)

Michelle: THANKS it's been hard keeping with the BF but for me it's worth it - although now I have nipple thrush which just adds to the pain - but I've been using some gel stuff and it's getting better - man it hurts! I feel like I have had aching sore boobs for about a year!! Lucky you getting to lie on your stomach Those front carriers are great aren't they - Quinn loves his, we got a sling from ABA and he sleeps in his too

Hi MG: Congratulations on your DD
