General Chat Thread For Cloth Users-PART 9 how we are dressing our itti bitti baby behinds

[4andnotout]

New thread as the other was running out!

What's UKPL??
And CNT?

And UD, UDNN, BBH.... help!

UK parents lounge, Cloth nappy tree, both places to buy preloved nappies or sell them on, and also to chat.

UD is Upsy Daisy, UDNN is Upsy Daisy Night nappies, BBH is Baby Beehinds! It is all very confusing, I completely sympathise, it's taken me about two months to get the hang of it...

Don't forget WNNN, WNNL, JR, HL...

I think I'll have to pass this time, afterglow, though I am sorely tempted. I have enough nappies for a small army of babies!

And BBOS and BBSS.

MEOS. MEAIO. Can't think of any more now, will go off to ponder while children watch CBeebies

WNOS, WNSS,

I've decided to get some wool for ds, got 2 pairs of shorties coming from UKPL. I've sold my size 1 totsbots so that will go towards them

Am getting excited again - not a good sign...

Hi Jenny got the WN. Trying it tonight .

You'll just have to have more babies Swampster

Jenny - got your wipes/liners. Brill! How much I owe you.

I got some magic-alls from a rather marvellous lady today, and they are lovely. The blue comes recommended it's lush. The purple too.
So, we are weaning. Talk to me about sticky squished in poo. What am I doing with the nappies?
Do you sluice them in the loo, or never mind and sling them in the bin? Am new to this bit! Think it will be easier when she's walking and not squashing it in. Yum!

Baron - fluffy post on it's way.....and I mean fluffy!

I REALLY NEED SOME WOOL foe bed- fancy disana/??? where are all the bargains?? also need large wraps but nothing out there

never mind and sling them in the bin!! God forbid! Although I must admit it has been very tempting on many occasions. DS3 has the runs at the mo and I am deliberately using all my least fave nappies to prevent my ittis getting all nasty and stained!
I don't really sluice in the loo - I do a lot of scraping off with loo roll which isn't pleasant but then I just sling them in the machine and hope for the best. Yuck.
At the mo, am using a fleece liner AND a paper one, so that if any sluicing needs to be done, it's mainly the fleece liner that the poo gets stuck to.

yea i must say that paper liners really come into their own once u reach solid poo stage! i dont use liners in my nappies at with DS2, but with DD i always put paper liners in otherwise its just messy longwinded and nasty! much easier to lift out and dump down the loo (or in a bin if out)

got the nappies today too jenny, little man has been in them all day

i use paper and fleece

natty: just letting you know I'm going to the post office this morning, if you're still wanting the woolies. Otherwise will be Friday before posting again - but either day, I'll send them 1st class so you get them more quickly. Just let me know. [email protected]

money sent rachel!

Scotia if tots bots still about im intereted xx

Thanks natty! Packing up now & will be posted by noon today, so hopefully you'll have it tomorrow!

Natty - I have some more tots bots I can spare. I have the rest of the cotton tots (4 applix and 2 nippa), and I did find some more bamboozles although I think some were lilac so might be too girly? I am sure I found at least a couple of white ones though. Also have lollipop bamboos and a lollipop softee and small and extra small sandys, and some basic applix small nappies.
Let me know if you are interested in any of them.

Girls are in disposables for today, to give me a bit of a chance to catch up on washing, and Elouise appears to have the runs a bit . So thought it was a good chance. They manage to fill my washer in a day just with nappies. Now that nearly all of our nappies are rediculously slow to dry, I am starting to struggle a bit with having the space to dry them. Although I guess it is mostly due to all this rain!

Off to put Elouise down for a nap. Although she didn't get up till 9am today so not sure if she will go down!

ooh not tried lollipop nappies.. might be tempted with them.
got some little lambs in post today and a size 1 tots bots fleece wrap. its massive tho, i wonder if its worth getting a size 0, wanted it for nights. anyone used fleece at night on a newborn?

oh and Scotia still after yours as i believe you said they were brand new?

Natty, I've got a couple of nearly new size 0 Tots rainbow striped fleece wraps and maybe a red one if you are interested.

natty: I've used fleece on Clement since he was born for nights - fleece or wool, depending on how I felt, or shape/size of nappy! We love fleece wraps! And the Tots are fab wraps too - not had any leaks with fleece on Clement. Though for some reason not had as much success on my heavy 2.5yo. I wondered if the heavier the child the more likely for pressure wicking? Or maybe just because his clothes are more close fitting, since he has to always wear secure clothing because of severe eczema. In any case, I love it for newborns! Clement long ago outgrew his size 0 Tots wrap (but will always save it for any future babies!), and he's got a lovely size 1 stripey Tots fleece from Swampster - which he can still fit into, though not for long! But a m/l UD fleece wrap is wonderful fit over night nappies - goes over our Bedbugs no problem at all - you'd nearly think the two were designed to go together!

oooh swampster yes please how much?

Have you tried Stacinators, rach? They are pretty industrial strength. My favouite fleece wraps are sugar Peas - trim, gorgous, bombproof. DS3 is in small and medium at the mo.
