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!

Give me a mo and I'll dig them out and see what's there, Natty. Feeding the monster right now.

ok

thanks for the advice rach, will buy a few off swamp.
have u tried them during the day??

I used size 0 fleeces with nothing but boosters when he was a size 0 [wistful]

no chance my little man wees to much. will size 0 go over size 1 tots?

I have a size 0 tots fleece if swampster can't find hers. I think it would go over size 1 tots. I think we mainly used ours over sandys. Can't really remember!

I am an idiot. I thought I had ordered some bargain BBH AIOs from the bargain section of babykind. Turns out they are wonderworks!! ARGH! Although they do look fairly cute but just not what I was expecting . It just said "magicalls" Aios so thought that was what the BBH aios were called? Must be me getting everything muddled up in my head!

My "day of disposables" didn't last long! Fluffy post is here and I want to try out my new nappies! LOL 3 x Lovely WNNL, the AIOs and a medium UD fleece wrap. Oh and a "dry bib" (not nappy realated but hey!) and a swaddlebees velour wipe/flannel.

how much for the lollipops jen? and the wrap in case swamp doesnt find hers

Natty - sorry just seen your question about the day - we used fleece in the day with Talia with no problems. Did get a bit of compression wicking at night though but Talia wees a LOT so all her nappies are drenched by the morning.

Infact, I was going to say, I don't think I can use BBH at night on Talia anymore . SHe has litterally had a puddle in the nappy by morning! The first time, I though she wees as I took the nappy off, but it isn't, its just where there is too much wee!!

Just put the wonderworks AIO on Talia and it looks like a great fit! Fingers crossed it lasts! I am hoping for 3 hours (or until the next poo!). Its a shame I only had 1 small (and 2 medium and 2 large). The med looks like it is way too big at the mo. Will try the large on Elouise later.

I've found them - two red, two rainbow striped. One red and one striped in EUC, one red one striped in VGUC - how many and which do you want? Or £12 the lot?

I also have a size 1 red Tots fleece and a pretty unique size 1 cream Tots fleece though its label is gone. These have seen a bit more action but if anyone wants them?

just the one size o, whichever is cheapest will use at night most. thanks

Red or stripy? £3 posted?

Just to say thanks for advice about plastic pants - will try Boots as suggested.

stripy please. pp details?

rachel - I have 2 toddler sized fleece stacinator wraps for sale , or, swap if you happened to have bamboo sandys etc!

thanks for the offer of fleece wraps, but trying to keep away from nappy related purchases, as I have enough nappies/wraps for nearly double the boys I've got! hence my idea to get into some sewing, as a better hobby than nappy buying! LOL Though I have to admit, sitting at the computer is a lot easier! But so far I'm being a good girl - even selling off a few nappies and not re-investing them in more nappies! (the horror of it!!!)

lol - at the horror of it! That is how O feel about Blake PTing. Since he has been wearing wool my family call him 'swampy' & act as if I am literally insane!

blakester!

Natty, it is swampster at rocketmail dot com

Blakester is a fab name!

Hi, just wantedt to check if anyone is using the pop-in birth to potty nappies and if so how they are finding them - especially for handling mushy poo from a 15 week old!! I am using disposable liners with them, but stil find most of the poo ends up on the nappy :-(..

I think pop-ins are yuck with their ugly gussets and crunchy inserts.

I didn't like the catchy feeling of the gussets and waist areas - not sure what the fabric was, but not the usual fleece sort of ones! It made Benjamin hot & itchy and I always ended up taking the nappy off him before he'd even done anything in it, as he'd start digging & scratching! Needless to say, the nappy didn't live in our house long - and won't get one again. But some people do love them!

RedHairedGirlie - I am not using them but do have a 12 week old. Her poo is runny and does go all over the nappy but thats normal. Its fine - just stick it all in the wash and make sure you do a rinse cycle first. Is your babys not still runny?

I have decided that I am going to try a prefold on DD2 tomorrow (or maybe the next day as we should be out all day tomorrow). I have hundreds of them and I always say they are rubbish, but I can't actually remember them leaking or anything. They might be a good solution for now when we are at home and just need something that is fairly quick to dry and doesn't go to crunchy. I mean, they are cotton so not exactly soft in hard water but it doesn't seem to matter as much as a lot of my shaped nappies. My cotton tots are almost unusable if they are not tumble dried They feel like sandpaper!

Sorry I've been away.

Natty, I do still have the totsbots but smeone is supposed to pay me for them today. I will let you know if they become available again

I'm hoping to buy a size 2 tots fleece so that should solve some of my night wrap problems, and someone is looking to swap my medium airflows for nature babies. HOPEFULLY DS WON'T BE (oops!) allergic to those.

Scotia - i am selling a rainbow stripe size 2 tots wrap, £4.50 posted

Ooh, am definitely interested! I just saw this on CNT Can i have it please?

Natty, the other lady has just paid for the totsbots sorry.
