Babies Born September 1st ~ 15th 2008 #2

We have bumgenius one size nappies and the baby beehinds. bbh have been next to bloody useless for us and the bumgenius are awesome. they keep bella so dry and the liner thing is soooo absorbent. I was really hesitant to buy any nappies cause they are so exy but I am going to buy more bg's. bella really gets sore legs from the huggies cause the elastic is too tight even though the nappies are 6 - 11kg's. Oh, the BG's dry super fast, they're pretty much ready to take off after half an hour.

oh man, I caught bella's little tummy rolls in the car seat clip today. she screamed for ages and it bled a little too - ?'m such a bad mummy, i feel awful.

Kerry - I wouldn't worry too much about mathew's weight, maybe he is just taller and it doesn't show as much as my little shorty girl. Yep, new av here, I needed to get rid of my pg tummy LOL, literally.. geez, any temp over 30 is way too much for me. we just got a quote for a new air conditioner, that the rudd stimulus package goes ahead cause it aint cheap.

Missymoo, what cloth nappies to you use? What would you recommend for Matthew? I've been hesitant to use them because of the washing involved. We've had three dirty nappies and one very heavy wet nappy already this morning. We go through a lot of nappies each day.

I'm beginning to think I have a problem! I look at Matthew and see a baby that's not chubby enough yet he's in the 90th percentile for his weight and only the 70th percentile for his length. I just want to feed him all the time. (See nappy issue above - over feeding?) Is this just me? I also worry that he's not going to eat on the day we go to Hong Kong because it's out of routine, etc, and that he'll become dehydrated. It's going to be such a long day.

I probably have about 5 dirty nappies a day and 4 wet ones. They just all go in an empty bucket, no soaking, and throw them all in the wash every 1-2 days. Pre rinse, normal wash and on the line. They are made from bamboo (the ones I use) so that kills all the germs and stuff and the sun takes away any stains. I have zero stains, zero nappy rash and no going down the baby isle when I go shopping
I have just about every one you can think of...

Wild Child bling
Wild Child Day Dreamer
Wild Child Fitteds
Mirabai day and nights
Cherubs Kiss
Razzily Rhino
Baby Beehinds Bamboo, hemp and magicalls
Peapods pockets
Itti classic
Itti Dlish
Cute Tooshies
Bits for Bots
Patooties
Lotus
Bizy Bee
Sandman night nappy and a daysie
Rolicking Rascals

I have 148 nappies... what can I say, it's my little addiction

If I was to reccomend just a couple I would say grab some Itti's D'lish and Wild Child. To start with I got one or 2 of a nappy, brought second hand and built up a small stash until I knew what I liked, then I brought more of that nappy. If you decide to do the swap just grab a few and slowly change over from sposies to cloth. Within no time you will have enough to give up the sposies all together. Ashton is my first in cloth and I can't tell you how impressed I am. I wish I had of discovered MCN sooner!

Why not pop by the cloth thread https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...s-161-a-7.html Have a read and ask anything you like

Wow, Mel, where do you put all those nappies!!!? My change table is chockers and I only have 40. I thought I had heaps.

Kerry, cloth are fantastic once you get into the swing of it. I would never go back to sposies. No poosplosions for us.

Sue, hope Arabella's feeling better. Don't upset yourself to much, you're definately not a bad mother. I have a Wii fit on order, can't wait to use it. We have a pool to and yeah, I'm super paranoid about it.

Eej, we start swimming on Friday. Can you do a trial run at the swimming or Gymbaroo to see which one Emily likes better. I did a gymbaroo style thing with Danielle but she never enjoyed it, though my GF's DD loooves it. Hope your feeling better.

Jo, that's unfortunate that you swimming lessons didn't go well, but at least you can go to the pools and just have fun, I think it really needs to be kept fun for them. I love the tag teams, there's been a couple of nights where the girls tag team all night!

CJ thats terrible about your MIL's house. Just glad everybody is OK. Hope Madeline's eye is getting better.

Pam, your doing fantastic in the challenge. I've come to a stand still this week, my own fault though I really need to get myself moving.

Well I've realised that Ashlyn is a really easy going, patient little girl. Yesterday she was trying to get her knees under her but kept slipping. She tried and tried until she just got to tired, never got upset or cried. So cute, I got some of it on camera. She can sit up for a few seconds, a bit longer if she holds my hand. She's also been trying to push up on her hands, looks a bit like she's doing pushups, lol. I love that she's making this progress, but I kind of want her to slow down, IYKWIM.

Captain I have an old computer desk, huge ancient thing, and they are all stacked on that in piles lol Piles that noone but myself would understand.

Yay for Ashlyn!! Isn't it scary!

Well it's official, Ashton 'crawled'. He got his knees under and moved forward in 'crawling' motion 3 times before coming to a crash on his face...

Off to have his needles soon waaaaaaahhhhhh

[ezymay]

Sue why are baby beehinds not great for you guys? I just ordered 6 new magicalls! I hope they are ok for Emily I'm worried now! I'm going to try some bg's too.

Kerry - Lauren gave me heaps of second hand websites i'll send the message through to you on FB.

Captain- I'm not sure about trials for swimming but you can do a 3 week trial with gymbaroo, that's a good idea!
Mel-Yay Ash!

Hi everybody. Sorry for the long absence but with the heatwave last week I took off to my parents house because it is so much cooler than my house. I was more than ready to come home at the end of it though

I don't have time now for personals but I have been reading your updates So much exciting news around.

Well first thing I wanted to let you know that I am not pregnant which is a relief. I didn't want to be pregnant and due around Molly's first birthday.

Molly rolled over the other day from front to back. She did it once screamed like a banshee and hasn't done it since And she is getting closer to rolling over from back to front.

We visited the health nurse yesterday and she weighs 7.4kg and is 65 cm long. While I enjoy finding out her stats I do have to say I find it a waste of time going. My nurse doesn't really tell me much or talk about anything. Feels like a WW weigh in without the meeting. Oh well.

I was wondering if anyone has started solids yet or thinking about it?

[yummymummy]

hello lovely ladies

we started solids!! Liberty was getting hungry between feeds and I tried feeding her closer together and then she got the explosive poos so it was either give her more formula again or give her solids. So I went the solids. And she loves it! She actually cried when it was all gone this morning, snatching the spoon off me and shoving it in her mouth trying to lick every last bit off it!! I'm only making up 4g of farex atm with about 20-30ml of breastmilk so maybe I need to give her more. I need to get over to the baby led solids forum... but first I need to finish some sewing projects.

Sue - I was holding Liberty across the length of my body and wasn't paying attention and accidently wacked her head on the top of my parents stair case and hit her just above her eye. She SCREAMED for ages. I cried too!! We all make mistakes, don't worry about it!

Mel - someones definently a little addicted!! I was just in a certain forum trading room where someone was talking about having 90 and I was like YIKES that's a lot but 90!?!?!

I have 10 cushie tushie coutures and one cushie tushie basix. They're OSFM and the good thing is they don't fit most babies so I can buy them cheaply second hand, Liberty fits them perfectly too so I only buy this brand. Someone gave me 3 for free the other day yay!! It was beginners luck really that she fitted these. I also make my own using the Wee Waka or however u spell it pocket nappy. I like the cushie tushies as they're all in one. We use flats for home, mcns for going out and the pockets for home or night.

I don't like velcro nappies because I can make them myself. I only like snaps. and i like the one size to save money.

kerry - the washing is EASY. (well i do have a chucky baby so in comparison to the clothes i wash for reflux its definently easy). i actually take quite pride in pegging out all the nappies! And folding flats takes seconds.

yay for ashlyn and ashton!!

erin - u can always sell ur BGs if they don't work out for you. Aren't u glad u only bought 6 just in case?? I guess the only way to find out is to try them.

Hello to everyone else too who is thread stalking like I ususally do!!

[yummymummy]

we're always online at the same time donna!! hi!!
