Nappy Chat #2 - from Teenies to Tuttos and all in between!

[PurplePidjin]

We're running out of room

He doesn't like being wet - he won't latch properly if sodden - so while being wet doesn't wake him, he won't go back down unless relatively dry. Fleece just seems to lead to soggy smelly sleeping bags so I'm hoping putting him back in a wrap tonight:

Homemade fleece liner
Size 1 lollipop bamboo
Big microfibre booster
Nature babies wrap
Fleece sleepsuit

I don't get leaks, just need to cut down the time it takes to do night feeds!

Hi all old and new. Is everyone having a nice peaceful night? (til about silly o'clock when its feeding time) Deuce Bigalo is on

I've managed to sell the Ittis apart from the crunchy ones. Got to post them on Monday. The ones I've sold that is.

The night nappies for all WILL get sorted! If the boys have fleece wraps on I'll put them in fleece sleep suits and not bother with the sleeping bag as it just gets soggy. Both in Bimbles again which I'm really impressed with thank you biscuit! the fleecy liner thats inside keeps their bums pretty dry.

Hi Ala, my 2 eldest boys are front sleepers too. One is in fluff, the other is nearly 5. I used to use Bamboozles and had the insert folded like that too then the booster on the outside. Cos ds3 is the youngest his nappies are massive on him so am lucky they don't need boosting. Yet.

Thanks R for the feedback, I'll sell them if they don't work out. Just waiting for them to arrive.

CONGRATULATIONS! Mrs R! Great news. How are you feeling? How are the others finding the new person?

Just you now BFG! Is all still baking nicely?

I've finally bought some washable fanjo pads for myself. Hopefully these won't bring me out in a reaction

Ariela, Its like that up here to with the hot drinks (apart from the non Sure Start groups). Can Bold be used on sensitive skin?

That combo did about 6 hours I've just fed him for 40 mins then changed nappy (cotton stretchy with small mf on inside, I'm hoping the mf will draw the wet away quicker than bamboo) so hoping he'll go down soon. He's tried twice but woken before transfer!

Not caught up but wanted to say hi. I am tired. Miss you. Will be back when the little sod sleeps!

Hi VQ! Been wondering how you were, hope the kids are all ok.

Soakers lanolised. Might go back to basics tonight - prefold, big bamboo booster, then wrap of some kind as i doubt the wool will be dry!

Waves to all - just got back from the hospital. Had a sneeze birth on Thursday and my little girl, all 3 kilos of her (is that 6 lb 6?) is just perfect. Had to battle our way out of hospital though . Congrats and to MrsR - babies are great aren't they? I'll have to wait for a bit before my little duckling fits her prefolds .

Congratulations BFG R was 2.8 aka 6lb3 so she's done great!!

Wow great news BFG! and Hope BFG and MrsR are both enjoying lots of lovely cuddles with the new little (soon to be) fluffy bums!

Nappy Happy re the Bold, really I think you'll have to try it. Quite often it is the perfumes they put in that irritate as opposed to the actual detergent in it.

I'd suggest ask the manufacturer if they can send you a sample (nothing ventureds nothing gained, if nothing else you may get a voucher)

ps congrats BFG & Mrs R

Bloody hell I don't charge my tablet up for a day and a hit and all this happens!

I was thinking of you VQ yesterday wondering where you were.

Good thinking A, I'll ask them for samples of each scentb

I'm ditching the bucket for a wet bag, then I can just turn it inside out when chucking it n the washer. I've seen some cheap ones on Tiny Nippers. Why I haven't found this site before! Cheap as chips!
Went to Dads today to surprise his for his 60th and the babies fell asleep in the car holding hands it was so cute!

Congrats BFG! that's more fantastic news, finally you get to meet. and a good weight too.

I'm just about to let crap dog out then go to bed, little D is waking up more in the night now so gave him a dream feed half an hour ago to see if that helps. He's started sticking his tongue out too like a cat which is cute.

Congratulations BFG!

DS2 has settled right in, it's like he's always been here. DS1 just adores him - wants to cuddle him constantly and just loves the way DS2 gazes at his face with an expression utter adoration.

We've had to grit our teeth and battle through the early days of breastfeeding but I think we're past the worst.

Wool tonight...

Ooh, you'll have to let us know how that works out. The 6 hours you got was great going! How did you lanolise them? Is it real wool or the acrylic stuff?

Ds2 is fleeced up and ds3 in a pop in with night booster and ME wrap. Wash day tomorrow.

One last Post Office run too tomorrow thank fook. Just got 3 crunchy Ittis to sell, they're still usable and have loads of snap ins for them.

We've all got our babies now, wow.

Real woolly wool hippy i mixed lansinoh with baby wash and squirted! Well, he's not wet outside his sleeping bag yet, and feeding fine. Been in it since 6...

How was the wool Pidj? Did you make it yourself?

Dd back to her terrible sleeping ways - I am wrecked - and very grumpy that we are going to in laws on Sunday! Erm Mother's Day... I had better get breakfast in bed before we go

Dd off her food - did a mega newborn style poo in her night nappy yesterday morning. No paper liner - rubber gloves on, scrubbing it down the loo before it even had breakfast! It was grim! Luckily I could chuck it straight in the machine and its come up lovely but still... Bleurgh...

Nah, passed on from a friend. Still did a change in the night but that was an unboosted lollipop. Dp organised that one due to grumpy gripey baby doing a poo an hour before bedtime - i wasn't going to put a day nappy on only to change it for bed

Pidj's Adventures In Night Nappying #106

Bamboozle, hemp doubled at the business end, wool soaker.

Clever dp put the other soaker in with the nappies despite at least two conversations about whether we like the idea of unwashed wool before we started

If its any help Biscuit ds2 is still a shite sleeper at 17m. Is she OK in herself? How old is she now? I thought we'd be over all the nightly screaming but no. Watching cartoons at 3am is not fun. So glad baby wakes at the same times each night so I know when to try and get ds2 back in bed! Thank god for Max Factor to hide my baggy eyes! What timid do you need to be up in the mornings?

That's great PP re the wool, they are most certainly adventures in night nappying! Wonder if it would help if you felted the wool too, or is it better being knitted so the moisture escapes? Do you think hemp is better than bamboo?

My message got lost! Bollards.

How old is DD now Biscuit? Ds2 still wakes up crying then screaming for about 2 hours at a time each night. I feel your pain. Does she seem OK in herself? What time do you have to be up for in the morning? Hopefully tonight will be a better night for you both.

Blardy 'ell PP I hope it works tonight for you! how often are you meant to lanolise?

I was in the bath the other night when I heard a very loud fart coming from our room. I thought it was DH he said it was DS3. There is no way a 6 month old baby made a noise that loud.

Soooooo it's been about 10 years since I got my hair dyed, but I got some highlights done yesterday and it smelled just like the nappy bin

Babies sleeping through the night is such a myth. DS has only JUST started showing that it is even remotely possible. He sleeps through about 1 in 10 nights and he's 22mo.

OK, OK I need a help sheet. I think I get wool/fleece shorties/longies thing and how they work....BUT, can you just buy some woolly tights/trousers and stick them on? Do they need lanolising (great idea for using up the Lansinoh stuff PP) - or washing first? Or tumbledrying first? I made fleece from raw sheep's fleece once - it took ages rubbing the wool with soap to create that waterproof fleece effect. Is that what could be done first?

Love the farty story NH .
