They contain no2s very well but then both the FB (when he was a baby) and the Count have chubby baby thighs. I've read on the baby forums that the best way to get stains out is to dry them in the sun. Don't know if that works as well we've only had a few days of sun so far but worth trying. And now I must be off to hang some nappies out to dry!velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729091819572955175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36067917.post-1850245448862246882007-08-03T00:21:00.000+01:002007-08-03T00:21:00.000+01:00We were using cloth nappies (Bambino Mio) on Littl...We were using cloth nappies (Bambino Mio) on Little Miss T up to a couple of days ago. They worked fine with no 1's but no 2's just makes a horrible mess of the edging and no amount of squirty stain remover gets the poo stain out and it's getting unhygienic. So she's temporarily on the disposables until her tiny little legs fatten up a bit.<BR/><BR/>I miss the cloth nappies, they make her bum look big and soooooo cute, well cuter than normal!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36067917.post-63400865892541119682007-08-02T22:11:00.000+01:002007-08-02T22:11:00.000+01:00This happens even if you own a house.

I dream of owning my own home so I don't have to deal with landlords and their weird design ideas ie our fridge/freezer is so tall I can't reach the top shelf but the bathroom basins are at the perfect height for 4 year olds. <BR/><BR/>me too Isabelle. I found out how much it cost to use disposables v cloth and decided to use cloth. We are now experimenting with using washable wipes.

I had my children before disposables were invented (well, not quite; but people didn't use them much) and all those landfill sites full of soggy, poo-clumped nappies worry me. On the other hand, it would be very hard for working mums to cope with carrying soggy, poo-clumped cloth ones around. Different times. <BR/><BR/>I would just be too mean, though, to pay all that money for disposables. It's the close-fisted Scot in me.Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/12641269043817163165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36067917.post-56395129791976117682007-08-02T10:23:00.000+01:002007-08-02T10:23:00.000+01:00We've moved a lot in the past 17 years or so, and ...We've moved a lot in the past 17 years or so, and have discovered there is definitely a law that states, "Everything that is going to go wrong with the new place does so in the first three months".

The estate agents ignored our requests for something to be done about it for several years (we used to pick and bin the mushrooms when they got too big) then one month after they came round to look at the problem we were chucked out! So we moved to a much nicer flat.velcrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729091819572955175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36067917.post-79275617971533544022007-08-02T03:03:00.000+01:002007-08-02T03:03:00.000+01:00People sometimes think the best thing about being ...People sometimes think the best thing about being a renter is not having to fix (and pay for) this stuff, but I dunno. Every time we call I fear a rent increase will follow AND our landlord is the king of dodgy DIY on the cheap with stuff he's scavenged from other people's throw-outs.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry to hear about your friend.
