The Natural Parenting Chat Thread

She was, she said something along the lines of "I'm not gonna get it, let someone else get burned" on the actual page where everyone could see it. Am still fuming now tbh but that's prob just my preg hormones

Boo to her Lilena. Some people are just like that. There seem to be frequent blow ups on all the cloth boards from what I've seen. This thread is thankfully very calm.

Must get motivated. I'm having real difficulty getting going this morning.

Snap it's raining here and I need to go out to the PO but Avalon is full of a cold so don't really want to go. I might just go on my way to pick Fi up later

It's not raining here, just really cold.

I have to do pre-school run then take a trial kit out to a little baby, nawwww. Oh and fit a ton of housework in too!

I haven't been outside yet today but it looks cold. I haven't actually got dressed yet today we had such an awful night with Billy that I just lack any motivation. I'm hopig he'll have a decent nap soon. He's having trouble berthing as he's so snotty and his teeth must be really hurting him. I'm not sure I'm goof to survive another week of it. Modo you have my full sympathy!

Found the tumble dryer manual! Delicates is the right setting only prob though with a sensor dryer, it thinks the nappies are dry when the really absorbant ones arent!

Can you wash nappies with clothes, and how would you? Alex is only wearing 2 a day max now as hes using the potty mostly. Id rather not waste a big 11kg drum for 4/6 nappies

could you possibly put the nappies in on their own for a rinse cycle or a 30 min quick-wash and then stick in the rest of the laundry for a wash?


new LL bamboo boosters arrived today! and thats as far as the good news goes today it's been freezing today and I've been up since 6, it's now over a month since lo's sleep went bad, he was every hour from 2am last night, part of me thinks its probably his teeth as he's been teething non stop recently 2 have come through and tooth 11 & 12 are giving him grief now I'm desperate for sleep!

Ahh the 30 min quick wash would work to rinse them Wat about detergent amounts? I use the same amount for my clothes as i did in my old machine but this one is twice the size so the powder is stretched out over more clothes, shouldnt build up so much should it? Ill lbe strip washing anyways when these nappies go to #2

I use a rule of thumb that when I mix nappies with clothes I add the same amount of detergent as I would use if I was washing the same amount of only cloth nappies, I also stick in napisan and tea tree oil which help

forgot to add, do you wash towels often? its easier to wash them together I find because towels are very similar to cloth nappies in that they both get damaged from using conditioner and their absorbency is affected if you put too much detergent so it's pretty much the same thing
