Yes, I was going to get a packet of those too. Thought they'd come in handy for pocket nappies later on as well as first size nappies. Muslins and prefolds never go to waste, there is always a use for them.
Thanks for the tip I'll take a look.

There is hope oh lovely P! 2 wakes but ds1 woke him the first time. How something so long and skinny can make so much noise is beyond me, its like having an Elephant as a child.

Wink Cloth causes less nappy rash. No chemicals to react with bottoms.

I totally am with you on the muslin front! Some of the ones I use now are 5 years old and still going strong.

Just re-read R's times! Boom! Thats excellent. WinkWink

Some of ds's muslins were used on me first :)

We started the cloth wipes today, which is the day his poo returned to normal instead of a squidgy one at every change Hmm still, I've got 10 more prepped for tomorrow now!

NappyHappy · 03/08/2013 19:24

How cool is that?! Do they still look as new? And there are some people who think they are a pointless item to have....

I need to sort my wipes out too thank you for reminding me! They grip so much more poo Wink

How is dp's job going?

llamallama · 07/08/2013 06:31

Thanks all

Purple - what AIOs do you have? Do you find them quick to dry? I'm thinking more about winter than in this lovely sun!

Also does anyone know if I can tumble dry my bamboo boosters? Will it effect absorbency?

PurplePidjin · 07/08/2013 07:22

Muslins don't have to look new, but yes they're white. Smaller than my new tesco ones, though!

Llama, i have v2 and v3 easyfits. The v2s are fab with a bamboo booster, the v3s need hemp and are a bit meh. I find it easier to dry them in winter on a radiator airer. I also have Realeasies which i love! Tumbling is good for bamboo, bad for pul :)

I won an Oscha sling on the dips!

NappyHappy · 07/08/2013 17:26

Cool! I've not won anything for years Sad

The old muslins Ive got are somewhat wonky!

How is the night weaning going? I'm starting tonight.

PurplePidjin · 07/08/2013 19:02

He's well weaned but the bloody teefs are waking him now! He's got two of the little buggers now :o

Cutest thing ever earlier - sst in an arm chair with my mum earlier, ds tucks his head into my elbow then popped up with a big grin aimed across the table at my mum. Peep-bo!

And we have Home Bargains coming down south! Hurrah!

OP posts:
NappyHappy · 07/08/2013 20:03

Yay! for teefs but nooooo for waking Sad

Awww, that sounds so super cute! How is the cruising? ds3 started pulling himself up properly and tried to cruise today then gets stuck, screams and shakes his fists Hmm

Ooh you can have wine!!

PurplePidjin · 07/08/2013 20:30

He's still very wobbly, and prefers hauling himself up on me, but he's loving his independence :o

What should i expect from HB?

OP posts:
NappyHappy · 08/08/2013 10:28

He's doing so well, bet you're so proud of himGrin I love the peep-o thing that is super cute Wink

Cheap food cupboard stuff, cleaning stuff and toys. Lots of old people with those square shopping trolleys stood chatting right in front of what you need. Its the same as Quality Save if you have one?

NappyHappy · 08/08/2013 16:31

Poo fail! Both were having nappy free time earlier, ds3 pooped, sat in it, stuck his hand in it, turned around and got his butt stuck on the wall. Hence poo all over wall and in carpet. Yay!

PurplePidjin · 08/08/2013 18:21

Full on screaming abdabs all afternoon. Nothing's working - dentinox, calgel, orajel, calpol, teething powder. Bath has cheered him up a bit, fingers crossed it's passed for now Sad

Poor little sod also has nappy rash from the strong wee, metanium has been deployed

OP posts:
NappyHappy · 08/08/2013 20:21

Hmm Poor bugger. Metanium is great stuff, Im not sure if I like the smell or not. Hopefully the afternoon has tired him out for you both. Have you seen that picture of a babies skull with all the teeth growing in and up through the jaw? No wonder it hurts. Wonder if the Brandy on the gums actually workedWink or just knocked them out.

I was greeted with ds2's ammonia fest this morning, it really caught my throat.

NappyHappy · 08/08/2013 20:27

Ibuprofen might help being anti inflammatory.

NappyHappy · 10/08/2013 20:48

Right, using manshapes pp Ive just bought a R&R carrier off FB. He owes me anyway Grin hopefully velcro baby will like it.

Hows the teefs?

How are you lovely new peeps?

PurplePidjin · 10/08/2013 21:02

R and dp love theirs! I'm rather fond of my pretty wraps

Two lickle toothipegs peeking out :o

OP posts:
NappyHappy · 10/08/2013 22:07

I blame you/inspiration for purchase! Wink
Oh thank god for that! But not good for your boobs though!

He does look comfy in your luffly wrap too Grin the colour is lovely.

rrreow · 13/08/2013 15:05

I love the smell of Metanium!! It reminds me of something but I can't quite place it.

My rental for the slings expires tomorrow and I'm really going to miss the Didymos. I want to buy one but they are £100!!! And the exchange rate is so bad, buying it from their website direct in Euros equates to the same amount of money. I think I've kind of committed to it already in my mind though.. I mean, this is what child benefit is for, right? Hmm Now I just need to decide on a colour. There is a blue/green one called Iris.. that should kind of be a no brainer.

NappyHappy · 13/08/2013 16:31

Of course thats what its for. Mine got paid in today and Ive bought 2 pl nappies and some 2nds longies with a Minion on!! The wool on the legs has gone a bit wonky when it was being Lanolised.

Metanium is very hospital like and disinfectant.

My house is officially a Zoo. All 3 are climbing all over the place Shock

Have a look on the fb pages, thats where I got the RnR from. I think there are some Didymos on there and yes Iris is just a no-brainer of a design so you must have it! Grin

Ive got 6 cb to sell later and maybe the pop ins, they're getting a bit small.

NappyHappy · 13/08/2013 16:33

And my muff fluff!

rrreow · 13/08/2013 17:46

What's a good FB group for slings?

PurplePidjin · 13/08/2013 19:06

Bear in mind they sell on for almost what you paid, rrreow. And a new one will be rough and need breaking in :) try Slings and things fsot as a starting point.

I need more wraps! Days when i only change one nappy like yesterday are brilliant!!

OP posts:
NappyHappy · 13/08/2013 19:54

I think thats where I got mine from! Grin Littlelambs are doing an offer on wraps atm, 3 for £15 I think.
