Oh I didn't know there had been posts, yay! I miss our bb group, even though fb is easier to check...

Thanks fl and op, yes I do make sure the frilly bit is out. Actually it usually leaks from the back so I think it's just too full, dd is quite the little pee-er. We've tried two brands and the same. If she manages to roll slightly to one side, sometimes it does leak from the leg. It hasn't happened since I've put the cloth cover on yay! But it's so bulky, I'm afraid it's uncomfortable for her but she seems to sleep ok. OP - yes once in the middle of the night, I just moved dd over to avoid the wet patch (she's in a cot so plenty of room), and once I woke dh up to help me change all the sheets etc! All the other times it only went through to her clothes/sleeping bag thankfully. Oh also I change her before and after each feed now too which also helps - but seriously I think we're going through maybe 15 nappies a day, is that normal?!

AP - yay for the cloth, I am still yet to make the leap! I think I will do it once she outgrows newborn size disposables. Do you (or OP) use liners? I was going to buy some, but the cheapest I found still worked out to be 8c each, which doesn't really make cloth quite so economical in the end!

OP - wow 20 nappies that's quite a good stash! Do you have that many of each size? If you started off with them all with dd then that's great you got lots of use out of them. And thanks for the info on what your sister does, that's actually a great idea as I was planning to rinse by hand, but hey if the machine can do it for me all the better! Oh no about ds1, if he wakes up grumpier after a nap sounds like it's better just to tough it out until 7pm? And ah cheeky little dd! Sounds like she's at the age where if she thinks she can get away with something, she'll try. I hope you're coping ok, you sound like you're doing great and glad your in-laws help out when they can! As for why you're still up, maybe you need some 'you' time while the kids are all asleep

Hi anyone else reading, how are we all? Our newborns are growing up, dd is one month today!

Well nothing too new happening here, now it's been a month we're going to venture out into the world starting with family dinner tomorrow and church sunday. The main thing I'm stressing about is public breastfeeding, but we'll just need to see how we go. I am tempted to express and feed her that when out. She takes ages to feed and needs frequent breaks for burping/chucking so yeah I really don't know how that's gonna work while we're out and about! Oh mil yesterday commented that we should feed dd some formula too as it will make her less clingy to me... we were like, er ok... Oh yeah we also had mchn appointment today, it went ok (she peed all over the blanket when being weighed sigh) but weight gain not as great as I hoped - 550g in two weeks. Nurse said that was fine though...
