General chat for CLOTH USERS part 5 - the one where we all branch out to wool!

[lollipopmother]

ME ME ME! Did I get there in time to put an Itti Bitti D'lish flag up?!

OMG that is so bloody rude ILMD I don't know what it is about nappies but I find it very irritating selling, people ask for a specific nappy but clearly want you to do all their research too.

I have a ffp modern baby cotton nappy if that is any good rusmum just so you can check the fit etc.
I still havent heard from the lady who wanted to swap my bg's will pm her again.
I managed to get to the post office today and post all the fluffy post off so ceb80 you should have fluffy post on monday
lolipop dd3 & dd4 are wearing wonderoos today, dd3 has fitted in it lovely, really snug, i think dd3 needs to chunk out a bit more perhaps but we havent had any leaks. Im saving the wrap for showing off to my friend this afternoon, i got her into cloth but she only uses tots Oh im such a bitch!

4 I feel the same about my Sister -she only uses Tots, and I can't help thinking 'how boring' However, it was seeing her Tots nappies on her DD1 that made me decide to use cloth when Seb arrived.

Oh very of all your snow. We just have ice and slush left here now.

It is lovely and thick snow too, we will go back out in a little while to make a snowman and have a snowball fight. Have to stay close to the house as we are supposed to have a courier coming to pick up the pram i sold on ebay.
I wonder if the postie will be able to get through the snow? Im sure i should have more nappies arriving today

4 - Glad that w'roos are working, I never had a leak and DD was about 11lbs when I was using them.

Thanks 4andnotout looking forward to fluffy post good job dh leaves for work before post gets here

Nappy Needs are selling Baby Beehinds, they have pink and natural in stock.

lollipop thanks! I emailed the distributor of BBH and they have availability (even though their website says 6 week wait!). But postage and packing is £6.00 as opposed to Nappyneeds £3.00.

Guess which one I'll use?

Hmmmmm, toughie!!

Sunflower - Do you think the nappies have been lost? My postie is awol today with my wool wrap but I think that must be due to the 3 inches of snow!

that would be 3 parcels lost... no, just think they're probably full at the sorting office not having delivered anything for 3 days, 1 was sent sat, the other 2 monday, though one was sent (as far as I know) nearly 2 wks ago... will wait til sat and then contact the seller for that one

Thanks for the tip-off re. Nappy Needs, have just ordered another pink BBH (and a fleece wrap, and a bamboo Bambinex ).

I wonder why the BBH colours are being discontinued?

cyteen I too have paid a visit to nappy needs. Have ordered a natural BBH. How many nappies do you have now?

ummm...

3 teddies
1 flexitots
1 pocket tots
3 fuzzi bunz
2 bbh
2 ittis
1 bumble

and now the bbh and the bamboo to come, plus a teddy and a flexitots that i returned to nappy lady as they were too smal so hoping for a swap to size 2s.

i must be ill

Yup - you've caught the nappy bug!! There's worse bugs to have I think.

true

this might sound stupid but getting into real nappies has also made me appreciate...i don't know how to put it...the finity of stuff. you know when you order from amazon or whatever, your stuff just turns up and you take it for granted that there is a limitless supply of that book or cd or whatever. you never think about where that stuff comes from (or i don't anyway). while it's annoying that there's no more leopard print stacinators and coloured bbhs are hard to get, it does make me appreciate that these are real things, made by real people, and maybe that's a good thing rather than assuming that there is a limitless supply of everything just a click of a mouse away.

I hadn't really thought of it like that cyteen but then in modern society, with everything so easily accessible (and just as easily disposed of) Most people don't stop and think where the things they buy come from.

Which is the more fleecy BBH? Bamboo or Hemp?

Good grief - is the BBH furore still going on? - Bamboo is very fleecy, I've heard the hemp goes the way of all hemp, thinner but crunchier.

I have some older preloved BBH bamboos which are much fluffier and fleecier than my new ones but that could be because of the previous owners skill with ecoballs and dryerballs.

stop teasing me with bbh,

Ok - on a serious note, DD 26 weeks and just starting weaning- hacing real probs with pooh!!!!

Now i cant just chuck the whole thing in bucket and then wash (have done so far but opened washer door to find a turd looking at me today!)

So what is the routine for more solid pooh?????

rus can't stop laughing at the "turd looking" at you... god, all this to come soon... maybe i'll keep her exclusively bf...

RUSMUM Flick the poo into the lav before putting the nappy in the bucket, we are now weaning dd4 and so not looking forward to turds Although bf poo is the worse staining agent i ahve ever come across The other 3 dd's were ff and i never had this problem Will try to bf again though if i ever have another (next year )
Im mnetting from the bottom of dd3's bed, waiting for her to drop off before creeping out Oh the joys of parenting.

how you mean 'flick off'? am using fleece liners, should i use paper too/ POOHS ARE VERY THISK AND STICKY BUT NOT REALLY 'FLICKABLE' AS TOO STICKY!! sorry for caps just noticed!

Soon to be 5andout?

turd looking at you - almost split my stitches there. Time to use paper liners for a while?
