The paper ones were sticking to bums.

Now, I am very wierd remembering that since I don't remember who asked.

I'll go sit in the wierd corner.

Well I managed to completely miss the question even though I'm sure I didn't miss any pages out.

Susan - I use them to protect the nappy a bit and keep them nicer for longer and help stop staining but dunno really {shrug} I have two packs of the Bambino Mio ones but they felt rough to me against C's skin so only used about 2. I just make it up as I go along

I see. Most of Alice's poos went in the toilet and we hung the nappies outside so we didn't have staining issues. I did use liners for the first few months when she was doing a million poos a day so lots of them were in the nappy though.

Susan, i also like fleece liners because they wick the wetness away from the body and create almost a barrier between wet nappy and bum if baby has only wee'd. Plus u just wash them with the rest of the nappy, so is no extra work. Poo doesn't stain fleece, so u use or paper liners to protect the nappy.

See I always changed Alice whenever she wet her nappy so didn't need that.

Morning all!

Thanks Becles, I Googled myself into a bit of a state last night, TMI: I'm getting really weird one-sided pains when I ovulate and on the second day of my period and wondered if there could be some sort of adhesion but then I started reading about secondary infertility and upset myself. I'm going to make a doctor's appointment anyway.

We had a bad night here, Husband woke up to hear Molly choking, turned out it was on her own phlegm _pale_ She's fine this morning, bit pale but no trace of illness *rolleyes* while both parents are zombies!

Aless, sorry you had a bad night too. I just sent you an email; today's Keynoir deal looked like a good gift for my husband which made me think of yours. Except it expires 24/12, which means it would need to be an early Christmas gift or is useless

Sir M don't worry about it, I think whatever keeps them happily asleep is ok and as long as they're not permanently in the carseat I'm sure it's fine. :rotfl: at "his" room, but a registered cleaning person won't be able to steal because it isn't worth it anyway.

Hope BM and Izzy are doing better.

Wish I could help with formula Somnium but don't know the first thing about it.

Hugs if I've missed anyone.

Really! Wow, you are much more dedicated than me!
My DD wets approx every 20 minutes, sometimes more (I only know as she is nappy free a lot at home) I would be drowning in nappies though! I change DD every 2 hours but occasionally stretch to 3 if out and about. If she is sore or red then it goes down to every hour and nappy off in the house though.

I use fleece as I always think the paper ones would feel horrible next to skin. I think of that vile 'tracing paper' loo roll you used to get. I just use cut up ikea blankets they cost about £1.50 and I've bought one per child. Just remember to wash the blanket before cutting them though to allow for shrinkage (made that mistake first time round!Doh!)

No, he wouldn't be covered by their insurance. If his health improves it's definitely on my list for future events.

Thanks Susan.

I did elimination communication though so it didn't create that many nappies. We used an average of 5.4 per day in the first five months and after that on average it was four or five although the actual number on any given day could vary between zero and twelve. For quite a long time she typically did eighteen wees per day and although soemtimes she could do them every twenty minutes for an hour, she would often have much longer dry spells and could be dry after naps and overnight.

(I looked the figures up on my spreadsheet - I don't have that good a memory.)

Thanks SS, he is very paranoid on netmums are some that do the laundry/ironing as well which is one of my big bugbears at the mo as DH says it will help with the mountains of laundry but never does and it just never seems to stop!! He made the annoying comment this morning before he left that it looked like we'd been burgled - cheek!

Also re the car seat we couldn't believe it got back home at 1:30, brought him up into our room at heard him stirring at 5 and my DH was like where is he and I said still asleep in the car seat, we were both expecting a feed before then!! Well he is def stirring, prob time for next feed!!

Oh wow. I would have loved to full time EC with my girls but had to do the half way of doing it at home but not when out and about. With DD1 she never had a nappy at home just when out and about, but I'm finding I don't have time with DD2 to have her out of her nappy all the time at home but she still has a lot of nappy free time.

DD1 used the potty (with my help ) from 4 months, just to save the floor, but came out of nappies at 19 months, so think it helped speed up potty training. We have laminate floor though, so she basically 'trained' herself, as when she wee'd she realised pretty quick that it would make it really slippery and she would fall, so she would wander over to the back door mat and go on there, so we just put the potty there
