Cloth bottomed girls they make the rockin’ world go round
By hissychick | September 5, 2008
You may recall that I recently had a bit of a rant at the Huggies man. Well, after another couple of weeks where my nights were interrupted by more wake up calls due to saturated bottoms and beds than I care to remember I totally cracked it and became one of them. A mother who puts cloth nappies on their kids.
Combined with the extended breastfeeding and clearly I am nothing but a dirty hippy freak.
I have spent many an hour at the computer learning all the ins and outs of this modern cloth nappy (MCN) business, and have burned a serious hole in the credit card setting our new system up. Being the sook that I am I have taken the easiest option and have started with sized all in ones, pockets and snap in nappies for E and a couple of minky training pants and stuffable polyurethane laminate (PUL) pants for A. I won’t bore those of you that neither know nor care about the world and complex terminology of MCNs with further details or brands at this stage.
So far my trial has shown some reasonable success* and I am now awaiting a substantial amount of fluffy mail to complete my set up.
Heh, I said fluffy mail**.
Now I must retrieve E from her cot, she who is clearly indignant at the fact that I tricked her into having a nice long arvo nap.
Have a great weekend peoples.
* If by reasonable success for A you mean still wetting through in the minky pants but no worse than for Huggies, and at least these can be washed and reused . Waiting for the more absorbent pants to turn up. Apparently the hemp is for stuffing and not partaking, dammit.
Having a greater degree of success for E in our day time trials, with the exception of a poo blowout that I will regale you with some other time because I know you all love that kind of shite. And yes the pun was very much intended.
** Fluffy mail is the arrival of your latest package of nappies and accoutrements. Told you they were nut jobs.

I found minky crap aside from it snuggle-ability. I know the theory but the practice is inevitable in our house and the Monkey was never a huge wee-er. Malden Mills fleece was definitely a goer though.
I miss fluffy mail ;(

At least with MCNs your expectations are ‘met’ (somewhat!).
How was your weekend?
