Thanks everyone for the thoughts re. my Dad. He´s still in hospital, of course he had to go all funny on a friday so he´s just been sitting there waiting for today to roll around when there´ll actually be doctors around to tell us what´s going on His colour is much better and he looks much better than friday but still needs oxygen and says he feels much worse than last time he was in. Just hoping we can get some clearer information today as so far they seem divided over what actually happened. My sister is a nurse and worked for years in Cardiology so keeps sending us huge lists of questions for them.. got to find a doctor first though!!
Can´t believe I missed the cloth nappy talk! You were all just given free rein for wanton nappy-ness and I missed it! Going to give my two cents anyway (Sorry Pillock!lol)
I´m always surprised at how many people love Sandy´s, I didn´t find them even nearly absorbant enough, they were kind of ´poofy´ (not derogatory comment re. their sexual preference, I mean as is air-filled! lol) and went really hard in our hard water. Strange because so many people rave about them and they are very wallet-friendly. I really like wonderoos as a pocket, fuzzis are very cute but wonderoos cheaper as they are one size. So easy to use and great in summer as they double as shorts! but can´t really popper vests over them as it can cause wicking which could be a pain in winter. Back to loving my bambinex with nature babies or ME airflow wrap as a very good reliable and absorbant nappy. Cos of the hard water problem I think i´m going to order a teddy (microfibre version of the bambinex) and see how it goes. I´ve tried quite a few others but no where near as many as Octo and nutty - am trying to limit myself as it´s all to easy to go crazy with them.
Night nappy is a bit harder, he was always in cloth at night until about a month ago and now I´m waiting on a minki pocket and a huggle to try out.
Oooggs - N has slept on his front since about day 5 of life! lol he doesn´t sleep on his back, we put him down on his front as he just goes out like a light that way. Think crawling will be very delayed as he just can´t stay awake on his front! hahahaha. I really don´t think it´s a problem esp. once they can roll over and move their heads. I worried so much when he was little but just checked him a lot and he was obviously so comfortable it seemed silly to force him onto his back.
Mmk - with so much going on atm I´m just going to send a donation straight to DEBRA, I hope that´s okay?
