Thanks Sami, god how confusing, i'm on newborn atm they seem to soak up her curry sauce poo quite well. Does anyone have preference towards Huggies or Pampers? If so why?

I hated Huggies with DS for some reason but with Amber i didn't like the mesh top layer on Pampers cos it sticks to her skin when it's got poo on. Also don't seem as stretchy, but i'm only basing that on New Baby ones, so i'm wondering when/if i should try them again now that she's bigger... Prefer the velco type tabs on Huggies too as opposed to sticky on Pampers...

if you don't like the mesh, don't get the active fit because they have it too.

I preffered pampers for Chris but switched to huggies with Ed. Ed is tall/long in the body and the huggies just seem to fit better on him.

have you spoken to the council refuse peeps about your bin? our bin men will come and get your bins from your garden if you arrange it with them, it might just be elderly/disabled who are entitled but you won't know unless you ask

I used pampers with Henry and they seem to be working ok with William too... must admit I am verging on moving WG to the green ones at mo (only cos got some on offer at Morrisons)

Trouble with Henry at the mo is the Active fit 5+ are getting a bit small for him and they dont go up to size 6 but the baby dry do so have them for night time.. Sami did you use these all the time for Chris before he TT?

Ooh ok thanks, trial and error i suppose. I've got some vouchers for Pampers and Huggies so might buy a mixture if they're on offer too and see how we go.

I rang them when i was preg with DS and on my own, and i remember this rude woman asking what my disability was, i said i don't have one but i'm heavily pregnant and it's not easy carrying bin bags to the bottom of the street, it's a bit far!! She said well you will have to ask a friend to help because we can't help!

Bint. So i've never bothered asking again! When i was almost due with Amber the bin men stood and watched me struggle while they waited for me to bring them to their van? I nearly burst into tears i had sciatica and was clearly struggling with my 1 bag at a time and 3 more at the house!!! Grr

Beanie - the own brand nappies are all pretty good too - it is worth trying them all out and working out which you like best tbh. I just get whatever is on offer, except pampers - we didn't like them either!

pretty much, Chris was in pampers baby dry from about 3mths until a couple of months ago. I used easy ups occasionally but not all the time because they were a lot more ££s.
I now use easy ups for Chris if we're going out for more than an hour or so or if we go to a soft play place because they're easy for using the toilet but catch anything if he gets distracted.
I use them at night now too because sometimes Chris gets up for the toilet at night and he can do it all himself if he's got them on but obv needs help to put a nappy back on.
I didn't use any nappies/pull ups when TTing though, I found it only worked if he was in just underpants and a top (and barely left the house for a week)

oh yes ladybird is right, I found the tesco newborns really good for Chris but neve used any others - no idea why? I think I got scared after he had the reaction to the active ones :undecided

Morning all..

Sami, have you made that phone call you mentioned last night?

Off to Boogies Babes this afternoon. We're missing the next three weeks tho - half term so it's not on, week after we're all going to Fun Forest soft play and the week after that we're at Notts to see the kidney specialists. Once we're back into it, will get Mum to come along too

Hope everyone has a good day

Ooh - do you like him? I though he was only famous in Liverpool. He did a Sunday morning slot on our local radio until recently. I saw him on 'Mock the Week' a couple of weeks ago and he looked the complete opposite of what I was expecting iykwim!

We saw him at the comedy store years ago (before he was "famous") and he was really funny then. He's also in Skins ATM or so my DH tells me??
