Have 35 wet bag orders to send out monday - hoping they are not on strike next week as have been held up already in US. I have a thing about tracking lol

Thanks Jenny!

Been very good, and managed a whole week without looking at this thread. Now it's taken me all night to find out where we all are!!!LOL

Fluffy post today - I just got some of the new Nature babies onesize wraps. the essentials are great, but now they're doing them in all the usual prints as well, so fabby! I lurve nature Babies!!! Also just put in a big new order for Tirsokas - hope they arrive soon!!

Another thind=g I discovered - Ittis used to be made in Australia, but apparently aren't any more. Does anyone know where they ARE made now?

Someone was asking about very large nappies - can't remember who it was, and am NOT going to read the whole thread again!!!! BUT
the easypeasy Bumper is pretty ginormous!

Now decisions, decisions - do I revert to my daily visits, or stick with my decision to be good bad disciplined and then have to spend all night catching up on you all!!!

Ittis are made in China, designed in Australia.

Evening all!

I had a huge box of fluff delivered today.

Oh and have i ever said how much i hate the Royal Mail! lol

Welcome back Octo!

Happy Birthday to those who ive missed.. Did i read some thing about diamonds! Wow!

Right just a quick one from me im off to bed!

MyjobI am still after more night nappies too as struggling to get the 2 bedbbugs dry. Think I'm going to go for a bumhugger, they are £9.95 on their site with free p&p. Have I heard they can go quite crispy? We are soft water here though. It's either that or a WNNN (or both)

mumface - I have one you can try - email me!

Thanks Octo, Think I am just going to take the plunge and order one though, especially with the RM business going on.

Get a WNNN! Bumhuggers are pants! Not too fond of the fit since a poo just fell out of one. I liked them in small on a wee baby but, like Sandy's, once you size up the cute factor just vanishes.

Oh! you've put me off. Hmm will browse WN in morning I think.
Myjob full report on WNNN required please!

We need to start thinking of new thread titles. We seem to have lost a few members on this thread though like Natty and 2CB.

Will post properly later when not so busy.

2CB can't keep up but she does lurk! Have seen natty about too.

thread title: to buy or not to buy a christmas nappy!

Hi All!

Myjob - No im afraid it wansn't bedbugs but they are being shipped Monday It was a big box of Ittis.

Im glad the fleece is working for everyone im still loving it!

I have a question actually some one might be able to help me with! Potty training 2.5 yr olds. Out of nappies during the day but need some thing for nights but mum wants him to feel he's wet with out leaks obviously! - Any ideas?

Need to go food shopping, DS is eating me out of house and home this week!

Oh and ment to say Myjob - you are brave!!!!! Id end up in a right mess! lol

WNNN: Can't decide!!
Either dragons on black or dinos on black, with either scarlet inner (would look good with black but could I wash with other nappies?) or lime minkee with dragons. But is minkee as stay dry as fleece?

Scarybots: Motherease Bedwetter pants have worked very well for us! Abigail who will be 4 next month has been wearing them for over a year now. She's dry at night 98% of the time, but oddly enough, it seems tht everytime she goes back to wearing ordinary pants, we end up with a soaked bed! Maybe she just feels cold at night, and the layers of the ME pants make her feel more secure? Though we have had the odd accident in them too, usually if she's extra tired, or drinks too much before bed, etc. I think brand new pairs might take quite a number of washings to be fully up to scratch and take a huge wee. We bought ours secondhand and they've been fab from the start - never had a leak!

Ahh thanks thats good to know, I've recomended those! but we dont stock them so passed her over to babykind.

Myjob - your braver than me i wouldn't know where to start with wool at all!!

Hi everyone,
Am full of the cold, Millie is full of the cold .
Have been getting my livingroom decorated so having been moving furniture and washing everything so have neen very busy, it looks lovely though really pleased with it.
I have to tell you all cos I am so excitied I actually sold a load of nappies today am so pleased, never thought I was going to get anything sold.
scarybots I was looking at your fleece soakers for millie they look lovely, I am waiting till I get paid though so may order some in the next few days.
Am away for some lemsip I think.

Meant to say that after doing all cloth nappies for 4 year now (between my 3 children) and a total cloth addict (well, near enough! LOL ), I'm feeling totally helpless and in need of advice! I just keep having problems after problems!

Benjamin does lots of scratching with his eczema, and this scratching often extends to his nappy area too, even tho no eczema there! I think the wet cloth next to his skin doesn't help, but totally fleece lined nappies make him too hot - and at night, he wees too much at once to get through the fleece quick enough! It seems that Bumgenius nappies (with their lovely suedecloth inners) are much better for him, keep him dry and fairly cool, so I bought 5 the other day to give him a trial of them with. They work quite well, though not exactly the most roomy nappy on a good sized 2.5yo boy! And of course, regardless of what he's wearing, he'll eventually be caught digging in his nappy, and dripping in blood!

Second nappy problems involve Clement (nearly 7mo) who has been battling odd rash in his nappy area for a couple of weeks now! First I was sure it was due to build up in nappies (as they were very smelly) and it went away when he was in disposables, but it didn't seem to respond much better when I stripped the nappies, and they weren't smelling anymore either. But the fact that it went away with disposables made me think it must have been in the nappies. Especially since it re-appeared with certain cloth nappies (some of our bamboozles, though not all, oddly enough!) etc. But then after several days in disposables, it has come back with vengance, and now it won't shift at all! However, it does so happen that it reappeared around the same time Lidl changed how they make their nappies! They've changed the surface as well as blue (instead of white) frills/edges. So I'm beginning to worry if it's eczema there, and he's just reacting to everything! I just feel a bit like crying at the moment, as I love cloth nappies, but nothing is working at the moment - though, not even sposies! So I really am baffled!

Quick random question!
Has anyone requested me on FB today. Ive got a random unknown request?

Rachel- Thanks for the help i felt quite useless too asking for advice but my ds is no where near potty training for me to of had the experiences! Im not sure about your little one i think id have come up with the same conclusions as you that it was the nappies but not sure now hes in sposies and thats the same! Have you tried Silver liners? Metanium always clears up any probs i have with rash quite quickly. Is it a fungal infection? Maybe some canestan will clear it up for him?

Elleloo yes they are lovley arnt they, i still can't believe that they work or even how they work tbh! lol I love that theres no more sore bum and red marks from wraps in the morning!
