The hirekit arrived yesterday morning... I put off putting the boys into cloth until after lunch, as neither had done their usual first-thing-in-the-morning bowel motion but not long after both were asleep with their little bottoms covered by Fuzzibunz!
Josiah seemed to like the petite-sized one I put on him... when I undid it to adjust the fit, he tried to do it up again himself! Then he bent himself in half to have a look at it, before rubbing the outside with a big smile! When my husband came home for lunch 15 minutes later, Josiah came running out of his room to show Daddy his "new" nappy! before going happily back to bed. Xavier fit (surprisingly) into a small... I thought the rise might not be enough, but it looks like it will be, at least at the moment. My husband saw the nappies all over the coffee table and told me that the only reason he won't let me go cloth is if I can't stay ahead on folding/putting away all the washing (including clothing/towels/linen - all the stuff we already have that I struggle to keep on top of as it is). I've got 8 weeks to prove to him (and me) that I can do it! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Ohhh i would have slapped my hubby for that commment....man if you have so much washing that you cant keep on top of it he should be helping to fold it... You should use the augument that using cloth is better for the enviroment and easier on the pockets money wise. good luck :) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I wanted to just say that washing nappies is SO much more fun than any other clothes. You can quote that to Nate from me

I agree Nikki! The novelty of seeing all my cute little nappies hanging on the line still hasn't worn off for me! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

Annie, its a kit from a lady in Kawerau.
Katrina, I'm a little OCD when it comes to things like folding washing... Nat doesn't do it right! and he's got sick of me refolding stuff behind him. He's learnt how to fold towels and flat sheets "my way" (which he admits is a good way) so he does help with those... but its taken me until the end of last year to let him hang stuff out on the line because he does it differently to me and uses way more space! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

 I've just cleaned up my first soiled cloth nappy... and it was from Josiah. He must have a tummyache because it was worse than Xavier's (mostly liquid diet) newborn ones!  On the (slightly) plus side, an old dishbrush is awesome under running water for removing the poo from the fleece, seams, PUL, trousers, and everywhere else it went!------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

No problems there - its kept in the laundry cupboard so that there is no way it could get mixed up with the kitchen one! ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

Well, its going to happen! We've decided to go cloth... but probably not straight away. If we keep going as we were (with the boys in sposies) for a few more months, we will be able to pay off some HPs and that will free up the money to buy a whole heap of Fuzzis. Nat wants to get about 30 (enough to do both boys 48 hours with a few spare, incase both are sick at the same time) and it works out cheaper to buy the whole lot in one go. We might get 6 or so to begin with, because even having the boys in cloth just at night will mean that there are 3 less packs of sposies a month to buy. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |
