I'm just on quickly so haven't read through the thread, hope you're all okay

Carly; I predict you have a 95% chance of getting a bright pink parcel in the morning!

that would make my weekend thanks sweetie

No probs hunny. I sent it first class as its taken me a day or 2 to get there (sorry) so hopefully you'll get it tomoz. Daft woman on ebay still hasn't paid me
I put some of them liners in but only a couple because i'm on rations, they are lush and soft but does remind me of toilet roll! I have no idea what make they are

aww thanks honey you didn't have to do that i can't believe that women hasn't paid xx

also my laundry bags arrived think they are going to be a godsend
all in all - one happy cloth bum mummy and baby (well toddler )

Sara I got 3 mesh bags off ebay for about £3. Not very fancy, but its got one big one that I just stick in my pail and then and also 2 smaller ones came with it.

I think I'm going to have to leave the fluffy bum club for a while - I'm gutted

Deri has such a bad nappy rash and keeps wheezing and I'm worried he might be allergic to something in the nappies or what I'm washing them in so am going to narrow it down, one by one to work out what it might be....AND....they keep bloody leaking

Awwww!! Is it definately the nappies that are causing the rash do you think? Funny how he only just started getting it, and not at first. I really hope you dont call it a day and that you can find some nappies that work for both of you. x x x x x x x x x x

 

[lauriech]

Me too I'm so gutted but I need to do what's best for Deri.

The thing is, I can't afford to keep buying different nappies to try now. I'm totally skint from buying the ones I have so am going to sell the nappies that don't work and go from there...

Does anyone know if talc causes problems with cloth nappies?

Also, can anyone recommend a specific nappy for heavy wetters? I think the BG V3's are pretty good but even they leak at night. Deri woke at 12.45am last night and his nappy had already started to leak and I put in an extra insert, so he had 3 inserts in the pocket and it still leaked

I mean, what do I do?

[saraendepity]

are you using talc on his butt?? that could be the prob with the leaking if you are???

please dont leave i'll miss you !!!!!!!!!

please dont leave i'll miss you !!!!!!!!!

yes, the talc may be affecting the absorbancy and therefor giving him a rash as the pee isnt soking in and instead is staying against his skin.

I know they say not to use creams with cloth nappies, so maybe same goes for talc. xxxx

 

[lauriech]

I've used talc on his bum since he was around 3 months and never had a problem but have been wondering whether that could be the issue with cloth nappies?

Maya - OH bought me some Naughty Nappies the other day as I was telling him you'd tried them and rated them for the money so I have 3 (he offered to pay when I said I didn't want to try anything else becaue all have leaked - and cos they were cheap!!!!). I have only tried one out yesterday and it wasn't on for that long so can't say it was good or bad just that they look a bit pants, ha ha).

Oh I don't wanna give up all my lush nappies even my BB's are leaking

How comes I'm having all these problems? No one else seems to

Oh I dunno...fed up.....

Maybe I should sell all my cloth and buy 2 more lush BabyHawks to cheer myself up ha ha xxx

I can think of worse looking ones though and if they work then thats the main thing... And TBH its not like they're guna be on display now as winters coming. Even the lush BBs will be covered up and no-one will know you've got a £20 nappy on. I would try to stop with the talc for a few days and see you how get on.. But unless your caking it on I dont see how it could be that! I too am confused as to why they're leaking!! Where do they leak? Around the legs or up the front? We WILL find a solution to this!! xxx
