cloth users, would love some advice for starting from scratch now, for loch and next bub.
im thinking all in ones snap ins or pockets, thoughts? experiences? brands? sizes?
i love the minky feel ones. and he is about 12kgs and tall at the moment. also, has any of you guys used prefolds with covers? how easy are they to use and would day care be able to use them? thanks in advance
Kate - I started using cloth when Tahlia was about 11 months, so by no means am I an expert. My personal faves are the snap in itti bittis, I have found pockets a bit bulky and that means alot of her pants don't fit. Can't answer your question about day care, cause I havent used prefolds myself, but I'm sure if you drop into the cloth nappies threads there will be heaps of ladies that can answer your questions, as well as recommend nappies to suit your little one. Heres a pic of Tahlia wearing an itti bitti to show you how cute they are, and they come in the most gorgeous colours! HTH!
Hi to everyone else!
Labour vibes to Mo and belly rubs to all the pregnant bellies!
Kate goto the cloth thread they are a great help & so friendly.
Personally I love my Itti's they are so trim Maddi can wear all her pants with them. You will find most all in ones are more bulky than, snap ins & pockets.
Really it's just trial and error with the nappies, you'll find some nappies just don't work for you & what may work for L may not work so great with the next bub.
I'd start off with so big name brands like Itti Bitti's, Bum G's, Green-Kids etc only because they have good resale value if you don't like them. As for sizes don't base it only on weight base it more on measurements, Maddi is just over 11kgs & still fits mediums with a fair bit of room to grow but if you do buy some Itti's Bitti's i recommend going large as they a very trim nappy.
Haven't used prefolds, so I'm no help there.
Hope all the pregnant mums are feeling well.
Kaz i'm glad your finally getting some answers
As you can see I'm still here, been getting more pre-labor couldn't get to sleep till 2am last night because i just couldn't get comfy.
By the time she decides to come I'm going to so drained from all the pre-labor it's been 2 weeks now & it's just not letting up!
Mo - the only good thing at this stage of pregnancy in my opinion is knowing what a great gift you get when its all over! I am not a fan of pregnancy and you are making me cringe when you tell us about your lack of sleep and ability of getting some kind of comfort. Haha. Poor chicken!
Its been a bit quiet in here girls. I can add much really. Oh, we went shopping today, Taygan had the meltdown from hell. I had the big pram and because Mia had sore feet, I didnt think it would hurt to move Tay to the back of the pram and let Mia sit in front of her. Well Taygan had other ideas, and before I could strap her in decided to dive out of the pram. Thank goodness a lady was walking by and grabbed her. Then I put her back into the pram and she was screaming and then tried to bite Mia on the back ... repeatedly all the way to the car! I was embarrassed, and also felt like the worst Mum in the world. Its days like this that make me wonder how I will cope with another! *sigh*
I dont know if anyone is else is going through it, but Tay seems to just continuously whinge these days. Always wants her own way and chucks a tanty when it doesnt happen, and then if she gets really upset ... look out, as she tries to bite anything she can.
Hi girls! Am super sick boohoo to me! so didnt want to post and be all about me lol! But have a cold and a little bit of ms no vomiting though which is good!
Mo thinking about you hun! Kaz Myles has turned into the whingey baby from hell! If I am not there he is fine the minute i am in sight he starts! Argh its driving me insane lol!
Sending labour vibes to Ange! Kate good luck with using cloth, its the best! Trish when are you back we miss you!
Hi everyone! Just got back today, we had a great time . It was kind of hard because I had zero energy, but we still managed to do lots of fun stuff and everyone had a great time. The resort we stayed at had a great indoor heated pool which the boys loved. Every time K had a swim he would have a 3 hour nap afterwards!! So I made a habit of taking him for a swim every day before his nap . Last night I felt an earth tremor while sitting on the couch, apparently there was an earthquake in Leongatha/Korrumburra and I felt it all the way out in Rosebud!
Sorry I don't have time for personals, I'm still catching up/unpacking etc., but I just had to say a massive CONGRATULATIONS to Amber!!! That is such fantastic news and it was awesome to have something to so happy to read when I got back
Also sending some labour vibes to Mo, congrats on making full term!!!
Hi to everyone else, I will be back in a bit later
