Stinky nippas

[claireybee]

My nappi nippas have suddenly got a very strong wee smell that i can't seem to shift. I think its either a case of having built up over time (no i don't rinse them after every use) or possibly because dd is teething and her wee (and therefore nappies) is very smelly at the moment.
I've tried soaking them in both water and baby bath and a vinegar solution but they still smell. Anyone have any ideas? (or is this just too "picky" to warrant discussion? )

oohh, very picky but you could try soaking in a bicarb soda solution

Dishwasher em? Or is that icky?

are you putting them to your nose and smelling them?

why does it matter if your nippas smell of wee?

i agree dishwasher em on hot! other than that you could try not putting your nose up to them a sniffing them !

No dishwasher
Um, I'm not exactly putting them up to my nose and smelling them, but I do often hold them in my mouth while putting the nappy on dd to leave both hands free for wrestling with dd and nappy and can then smell them. Now that is surely more ick than putting them in dishwasher

Eeeeeeeeeeeeew!

Hmmm, shouldn't have admitted that!

Why not buy new nappi nippas, there're not that expensive, or better still, use nappy pins?

oh i do that but generally im holding my breath anyway as his poo reaks so never smelt the nippa - mind you i dont use em often enough to develop a hue i suppose - oh happy days!

Hijack - Flame have posted about the enterprise agencies on the other thread.

I soak mine in Milton solution about once a month, does the trick
