WooHoo! I got here first!

ScaryDaisy - I agree with BBMIHH - I'm sure that packed bags and ready cribs delay the whole thing...

mmm, have to come up with scary name now...

got some used bamboo squares, but don't feel as soft as I expected, how can I soften them?

are they new Sunflower?

no, secondhand. washed them today adding vinegar to last rinse, line dried (why couldn't we get this weather in augus!?) and tumbled for 10 mins when they were nearly dry, but no much difference.

Oh dear . I wonder if they have been 'cooked' on a radiator. Bamboo can go crunchy if you put it on a radiator to dry. Nothing will soften them if they have been

When it starts to rain again you could try leaving them out in that - softens them up too and works well on thin fabrics like squares IME.

thanks, will try them tomorrow on DD and see how they are, otherwise I'll use them on changing table and to make doll's nappy (DS is very crossed "his baby" still hasn't got a nappy like his baby sister's....)

rus mum nappies arrived thanks

they ok baby?

Baby do you know resale value of those you sold me?? They dont suit so going to sell them on

ANyone got any ellas house or sandys small or medium??

I've got some small ellas house bumhuggers rusmum - hemp with pink fleece inner and poppers.

ceolas - I've got leftover lansinoh and flame's website says I can lanolise with that.

haven't gto a clue rusmum yeh urs are fine surprised what a big difference there is with small and medium i love prefolds bbmin haunted house do u know how much i should list 6 new little ewes 60cm for on used nappies

baby what pay for them?

i paid £19 for 10 of them

Has anyone tried the Nature Babies Loveables? They look quite nice.

My brand new Ella's House Bumhuggers came today, they are soooo much nicer than the second hand one I've got which has gone quite hard and lumpy. I'm now going to start the very long process of pre-washing!

I've been trying to think of a scary name but lollipops really aren't that scary!

what about rusMUMMY

I've got 2 lovables and they are very lovable! Generous sizing, but lots of velcro so will also go quite small. They are stuffable but I find they are absorbent enough without anything in the pocket. Dry a bit quicker than my other bamboo nappies too.

baby finally fits in her new small sandys( she's growing sooooo fast) , still with xs airflow though... i think the xs will only last this week, her thighs are getting plumper. lollipop - do you still want them, don't know how long you'd use them for, but if you want them you can contact me, I've finally joined the FB sept group.

babyjj - I'd say about £8 -10 they are around £2.10 new so that would be a good saving

right i'll put them on for £10 plus post then they are to bulky for him and take to long to dry

BBM hmph! You didn't wake up at 3:30am. You were already awake probably!

• ILMD - I think I'm on an all-nighter tonight - babyDS has caught his sisters' nasty cough. I will reply to you honest, I'm just waiting until I am less brain dead! What were you up to at 3.30?

I was feeding at 330!!! DD2 also has a cough caught from DD1!!!!

GREAT!!!!

Hi everyone, well i have decided to re sell my pop in, i bought it from here a couple of weeks ago but it just doesn't suit dd3 at all Going to thin the stash a bit, im loving my new flexi tots, had to tumble dry them for the last 10 minutes today and they came up beautiful and soft! Think i will sell my berry plush too as she pees right through them
My bamboo nappies arrived and im pleased with them, i think i will probably dye them as they have a few stains. I dont know how long my super wee'er will stay dry in them but they are nippa mostly so dd4 might fit into them fairly soon (if she ever arrives that is!)

At 3:30? DD is having nightmares (after car crash) so she wakes up DS and it continued until about 6:30, when I got annoyed and made coffee.

Think I also chucked in a load of nappies into the washing machine. Am loving having a washing machine and not going to the laundromat! Although the one in Pwhelli wasn't too bad. Some of the locals were a bit, um, geographically challenged.

One asked me where I lived, and I said, 'Bristol, have you ever visited?' She said, 'no, I don't go places where you have to fly...'

Crunchy bamboo - mine are dried next to the radiator, will this make them crunchy? I was told (by Modern Baby) that they would be ok dried on the rad, and that a tumble dry would soften them again.
They got quite stiff on the line outside in London - it's hotter there!

Is crunchy v. bad for nappies/baby?
