Starangelk, we are using Rumparoos, BumGenius, Cushie Tushies & BBH Magic Alls at the moment. Unforunately we don't have a drier, so letting them drip dry is our only option. Come on sun! Make a come back!! What are pre-folds? We have had some leaks with the Magic Alls, but DP loves them because he "can't be bothered putting in the inserts" Meanwhile I am the one that does them during the day!!! I have found that the BumGenius ones fit her best, and also dry the quickest, so I am hoping to get some more of these , even though they are pocket nappies. I was going to go on the internet and look up some other kinds and get some sent to us so we can increase our supply as well as try some other ones out. Our local baby shop (still 30 mins away!) has only got the ones I have listed plus the Pea Pods. Does anyone recommend any? Lily is at least 56cm long (birth length) and is weighing 5.35kg (weighed yesterday).
I think I need to go to a LC too. My milk seems to have dried up in the last 2 days. I am wondering if it is because I have been wearing maternity singlets to bed, and they are tight on my boobs. I don't usually wear one to bed, but I wake up in a pool of breastmilk usually, and put one on in the early morning the other day with a pad and went back to bed and it caught it all, so I thought I would do it every night.. but now I am worried that it is restricting the milk production or something. Speaking of which, does any one know of any brands of breastfeeding singlets that are made for larger cups? I am a 14E, and the best I can find is a 16D or 16DD if I am really lucky.
Tubbles -
Prefolds are the tri-fold with extra padding in the middle one basically. I haven't used them, but they wouldn't be any use here the way Elijah wee's lol he'd need a change every hour!
Re: the inserts and DH, just put them in when you finished washing them. That's what I do
I have a great reccomendation! We use Lushies almost all the time! They are a fitted bamboo velour birth - 6 months nappy from Sustainable Hemp Products and are so gorgeous and scrummy! I use either longies or a PUL cover over the top. Also small sewn in ittis (the snap in's give up gaps) and small petites. If your baby isn't a heavy wetter, small bubblebubs would be awesome too, especially for DH as they are velcro and are the easiest to use IMO.
Regarding your milk, I doubt it's dried up Once your feeding has settled and your milk isn't in oversupply, your breasts shouldn't feel hard or anything anymore.Mine feel completely normal, how they were pre breastfeeding. The only time they feel harder/bigger is when I miss a feed on one side (forget which one I fed from last) but the rest of the time nothing out of the ordinary happening there! Is there a reason you want a BF'ing singlet? I just use a normal singlet and pull it down with the bra. When I am out, top goes up, bra and singlet go down and I am showing nothing. I am the same size as you and haven't seen any around though I am sure you could get them somewhere.
Sarah did you look at the sustainable hemp products site? I got their breastpads yesterday and they are so lush!! And they are BIG. I was happily surprised by how much bigger they are in diameter compared to disposable ones.
Another good night nappy is either Lushies or Cute Tooshies I used the CT for Ashton successfully until he was 6-7 months, and Elijah is in the lushies at night I did get a BBH night nappy for Ashton which arrived yesterday, he wore it last night with only one prewash and it was wonderful, completely dry on the outside of the nappy in the morning and that boy can pee!!
I'd never heard of a Wonder Week before but I am off to check that out! I sure know E has been more cranky this week than normal and he is 5 weeks old today! It's been a rough 2 days here, I am totally exhausted today after 2 bad nights
SAK sorry that BF'ing is a tough road for you, hopefully once everything settles down you'll have no more problems! It is still early days. And WOOO HOOOO on the weight gain! Elijah is due his 4 weeks check up... and he's 5 weeks today... whoops! Re: avatars, just check out this thread https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...atar-faqs.html
I emailed yesterday actually lol
Hey Missymoo - did you use a cover with your BBH night nappy? I am not sure if I am supposed to be....and thanks for the avvie help Going to email them right now.
Tubbles - I am still learning about the MCN's so can't recommend any sorry but I am super happy with all of ours so far if that helps. We are finding the prefolds awesome and have no leaks but they are super wet and heavy. Maybe X doesn't do alot of wees tho!
Thanks Entreat - I have been using a cover but I was confused because they are exactly like the minky petites which don't need one. DH forgot to use a cover on our thirsties once........omg mess.
Tubbles - I got Seph's friend suggestion and added you
How is everyone's tummy's looking? Mine is still very jelly belly and my line is looking worse now because my belly is smaller. ALso, I used to have a very innie and early in my preg it popped out and now hasn't gone back. Would love to hear about everyone else or if you already have a flat tummy back just say "no comment"
