Yup, the ones with the pockets. I think they fit from about 8lbs or so and as Elvis is being projected as high 8's to low 9's by the MW hopefully we will be OK.

I still think we will be using the disposables for the first few weesk though.

We got two packs of washable wipes with the BumGenius stuff we got at the Baby Show. If we use them great, if not they'll get used to mop up other spills I should think

Did anyone else see the picture Katie Price posted on Twitter? (I detest the woman) but she claims she "over indulged on junk food"



:eek: JUNK FOOD?

I could push my belly out like that when I wasn't pregnant.

Really? :eek: I'm by no means a skinny minny and don't even think I could manage that.

This will sounds like a stupid question but how do you go about washing them? (I assume you mean the likes of these?):

You get rid of most of the poo down the toilet and then just take the insert out of the pocket bit and stick the wrap and the pocket in the washing machine?

These ones give a much better fit if your thinking of trying.

Because they are fleece lined the poo just sort of peels off when tipped down the toilet, pull out the insert and put them all in a lidded bucket or wetbag until its time to wash them.

Tip time - I find those huggies cotton soft sheets great. I use them for top and tail, nappy changes, clean messes, and for bathing my stitches too. They great with warm water for nappy changes. We used wipes at hospital, but here with use them.

MrsManda we went for the vista too!! The little squidgers not been out for a spin in it yet. I can't wait to use it!! What colour did you get?

Mozzy Congratulations!! We finally managed to evict the pair of them!! :j:j Cant believe how similar everything was for us (don't think I'll be writing that birth story either) My first stage was about 4 hrs,sond 35mins and 3rd 10-15.....ventouse here too!! Not thinking about any siblings for him anytime soon. Hope you're finding it a bit easier, although difficult I've found it's really helped talking it through with OH (a lot!!) Hope you and Charlie are getting on well!

Hope the Feb babies carry on coming now..it took long enough for one :rotfl:

We went for the cole slate (kind of blue colour) - thought the light green and cream would look mucky quickly and my MIL really didn't like the red - as it was the only thing she didn't like we figured we'd listen What did you get?

My OH bless him did check with me to make sure I wouldn't mind putting a girl in a blue pram (we've been told we're having a boy but just in case we have another baby which is a girl). Personally I couldn't care and if the pram we wanted was pink I'd have bought it just the same - it took long enough to make a decision without worrying about colour

Looking forward to it arriving later today though it's going to be unpacked, checked over then put away as we've got a few months left yet. Our cats aren't going to be happy as I'll be depriving them of boxes to play in

We had narrowed our pram choices down to the Vista and Mountain Buggy Swift but when we went back to Kiddicare we came across a woman with the Swift. She said she liked it but had only used it from 3 months, had to bring it back to have the cross bar replaced because it kept detaching itself. Plus her kid was only 15 months old and was getting to the stage where his feet were starting to no longer fit on the foot plate and his head was almost touching the top of the pram. So that tipped the balance for us.

You'll have to let us know how the Vista is when you take it out for a spin
