Thanks Cupcake!

I'm feeling very sick and I'm only 5 + 2! Blarghhhh.

We had the reusable nappy conversation but OH thinks it's gross so probably won't be trying them!

Cupcake92 · 20/08/2014 18:24

Ooo is it just me or had the page suddenly dramatically changed?? :s :s

Bearsinmotion · 20/08/2014 17:25

We have disposable liners which catch the solids and wraps that stop leaks (especially overnight!) then the wrap and the main bit go in the nappy bin then wash. It's very easy. Am hoping that dd will be out of them most of the time before dc2 arrives though!

Cupcake92 · 20/08/2014 17:25

Lovely Iam :) there's so many of us now!
But not heard from a lot in quite a while. Hope they are all okay. Thanks

And congrats Tyla!!!!! Woohoo!!! :D

Tylastar · 20/08/2014 17:20

Hello Ladies! Sorry I've been absent!

I'm trying to keep my excitement on the low because it's early days but it's hard!!

We had the bambino mio full set, we got it as a new baby present when we had dd1. With them you have the outer cover, the inner bits and then you get a little roll of liners too. So you fold the inner in a certain way (different ways for girls/boys/night/upset tummy etc) and then cover with the liner (which catches the worst of the number 2 and can just go in a nappy bag); then the inner goes into the cover - we only had 1 leak in 4 years of using them!

Nappy changes is just whip it off, put the liner in a nappy bag along with wipes, then your inner into a nappy pail (filled with napisan solution) and you can reuse your cover! I did a nappy wash every second day, they dried really fast on the line or dryer. Found it so easy, though I did notice that clothes nowadays aren't made for cloth nappies, they're too tight to fit properly.

Obviously if you're going to use them, I'd recommend that you get them as early as possible to get the most money savings and they can be used for subsequent kids and I even managed to sell mine for £50 after 4yrs use (I really looked after them!).

I've seen some really cute cloth nappies, I mean when I was a baby my mum used cloth ones. BUT I don't think I could do it, mostly the smell? Like washing them and putting them in the washing machine, I assume that's what you do?

I just couldn't do it and then wash my own clothes after in the same machine, I know that sounds silly.

Cupcake92 · 20/08/2014 15:47

Fx crossed Michelle :)
And that's great news Siarie!

Oh no I don't do cloth nappies. My friend has put me off them. Her son wears them and every time he has an upset stomach it leaks out and goes everywhere and drips onto the floor. And I can't imagine washing pooh in the washing machine :s I like morrisons nappies. Never leaked at all for me. Tescos leak and aldi and even pampers leaked for my DS! :s
We only spend £10 a month on nappies.

Bearsinmotion · 20/08/2014 15:36

We use Tots Bot easyfit - very impressed with them and they cost ~£350 all in - much cheaper than disposables!

Siarie · 20/08/2014 15:18

Doctors appointment was great, he did a huge form full of all the basics for my referral to my local hospital I think. I also got some medicine for severe morning sickness (I had it before and got really bad) so I've got that for my holiday in case I get bad again.

Feeling really pleased, it seems all quite real now! Fx it goes well.

poppet85 · 20/08/2014 15:09

Oh yes cloth nappies !! I ve just started looking in to them and trying to make a desision and convience dh they're a good idea

I used bambino mio cloth nappies Grin

Just to add - slings! I loved the BabyBjorn when DD was tiny, then had a Baba sling when she was bigger. Lifesavers if you have a clingy baby. I also had a bednest which was great.

Also used cloth nappies if anyone is looking for advice on them hippy

Michelle51012 · 20/08/2014 10:56

steph1204 · 20/08/2014 08:36

FX for you appointments Siarie and Cupcake!!
Keep us posted :)

I have an appointment with my boss next monday morning, to annouce the news... I'm so scared of her reaction!

Siarie · 20/08/2014 07:55

I've got my appointment today, no idea what kind it is. I'm expecting my GP to maybe book my booking appointment? Including maybe some questions and forms, going to be interesting.

I was wondering, I'm implanted at 4dpo so does that mean I'll be further along than predictors say? Because I'm currently 3w 6d but all the info on that suggests the the egg only just implanted week three this week? Yet I implanted Monday last week. In week three info it suggests that's implantation week?
