Oh Rachel - your labour sounds sooo much like my first! The only difference is my waters went right at the start - which was actually a bad thing becaus ethey only gave me 24hours to deliver before it meant that I couldn't have my home birth - which I didn't so ended up in hospital and eventually with an induction because of infection (because of my waters having gone early on). I was 2cm from the start to about an hour after I was eventually induced - then things started happening properly. Praying for a quicker birth this time round!
The UDNN did slightly leak, but not a lot. Sort of wet patches on her vest etc. But I think with the booster it will be fine - just got to wait for soy to come back in stock! I can use a hemp one for now which should do the job - but its just more bulky and heavy -unlike the soy. The nappy was soaked so I don't think there is a problem with the nappy itself. I was starting to wonder if it was a dodgy bit of fabric or something!
Is £5 a good price for GUC BBH? This is a local sale rather than online? And do you think BBH are small enough to be used in the daytime? Or too bulky? I like mine, but want UDNN for nights really for DD. But the BBH might be good as a night nappy for the new baby when she starts to need something? Ie maybe at around 6 months or something? As it is BTP. I do have one but haven't had much chance to test it out as I took ages prewashing!
4 - Yes I guess I might as well sell one or some of my BBOS iserts. I do still use them but they are not my favouite and could use the funds for some more of the ones I use first. I really want more EP hemp but if I buy them new then I have all the hassle of prewashing them seperately to the other nappies - keeping them seperate to my ones that are already at full absorbancy (not sure how I would stop them getting mixed up?) I wish I could find some preloved!
How soon do you need them 4? Did you just want one?
Got nappy wash on as we speak. Horrible and rainy outside . So can't hang out in the sun!
