Hi everyone
Well Tilly-Grace arrived weighing 7lb 0.5ozs lastnight at 11.25, less than 45 minutes after arriving at the Came home this afternoon and was back on the school run this afternoon. Both dd3 & dd4 are in disposables tonight until im more settled at home and with the breastfeeding.
BABY posted the wrap yesterday.

babyjjbaby · 24/10/2008 22:53

lollipopmothershalloweenghost · 25/10/2008 06:58

4andnotout - Congratulations on the arrival of Tilly-Grace, I know you have 2 other LO's but you should be taking it easy not going on the school run less than 24hrs after giving birth!!

babyjjbaby · 25/10/2008 09:23

do u think i should wash my dyed nappies seperate to others need to do a wash today

4andnotout · 25/10/2008 10:37

Morning all
Babyjjbaby it was the medium onelife wrap i posted to you I would be inclined to wash the dyed nappies seperately for the first wash just in case, have you got a piece of old white fabric you could stick in with the wash then you will know if they leak colour or not.

I only have 2 in nappies, dd3 & dd4, so im not quite superwoman yet cant go far today as we have to wait in for the midwife but they dont tell you a time so you cant get on
Then my bil and sil are driving up 100 miles to visit, not looking forward to it as we have fallen out a bit...maybe this is their olive branch

Im hoping dd4's nappies actually fit her when she gets to wear them as she may weigh 7lb but she is tiny and is wearing newborn babygros but her legs are in the body not the legs iykwim, im going to have to buy her some early baby stuff.

babyjjbaby · 25/10/2008 10:48

oh yes sorry forgot bout that couldn't think what i had bought off u i have done nappies eperate think i will put a old flannel in with orange nappies and see if it runs

babyjjbaby · 25/10/2008 10:54

the wrap has just arrived thanks hun

BigBadMouseInHauntedHouse · 25/10/2008 19:49

4andnotout - congratulations . Hope you had a good day - used to drive me mad having to wait in all day for the midwife. With DS I hardly saw them though - think they thought I knew what I was doing since he was No3 (ha! not likely ). Hope BIL/SIL visit went well too....

babyjj - knew they'd come out! They look great don't they! She must have been using a mild powder or a liquid detergent.

DS's pocket bot arrived yesterday so we took the opportunity today to try it out. It's lovely . I missed my pocket bots and I'm now on the hunt for more having checked the fit on DS so if anyone spies any second hand please let me know . If anyone wants to have a nose I've put three pictures on my profile. It is a medium-long fit so very high in the rise atm but it should fit right up to potty training .

babyjjbaby · 25/10/2008 20:55

oh i love that pocket bot is that the one made by tots bots can't believe ho wnice my tots came up wonder if the woman knows she would of got more for them if she had put a bit of effort in getting them clean i really have got far to many nappies but don't want to sell any really i just need a humungous nappy bucket so i can use them all b4 washing in that case i better get a wheely bin lol

BigBadMouseInHauntedHouse · 25/10/2008 21:27

babyjj nope it is the proper pocket bot made by pocket tots (not the pocket tot made by tots bots) IYSWIM

babyjjbaby · 25/10/2008 21:29

Shitemum · 26/10/2008 11:32

Anyone know MANUFACTURER of vest extenders? I want to buy wholesale to sell outside UK...

I live in Spain and have discovered that very few of the people who use real nappies here have heard of vest extenders. I've just sold my used ones and there was a queue for them!
Does anyone know who makes them? I want to buy wholesale. I've googled it but only get websites selling to the public, they all say the extenders are made in the UK...

Have already posted this elsewhere on MN but really hoping someone will know...
THANKS!

BigBadMouseInHauntedHouse · 26/10/2008 14:36

shitemum (owner of my first choice of talkname )

Babykind will probably sell them to you on a wholesale basis

or try here

here

or

here

If you have no luck with any of those I have more links you can try (but I should think one of those will be able to help). If your OK with a sewing machine you could make your own - they're easy to make but not sure about patent etc if you made them to sell on.

BBM and Ariela - many thanks will try those!

BBM, I do like my name, I changed back to it from my Hallowe'en one today because I missed it! Funnily enough my mum's nickname for me when I was a kid was Mouse...
