I finally made the switch, it didnt hurt.    i dont have a funny smelling house or an unhappy child.   i have had three big poos, and six wees (dealt with guiltfree) i fancyed giving myself a pat on the back, my guinea pig Taylor was happy to oblige.  Roll on day two! wildgarlic Re: Day one of reusable nappys! niki wrote: i have had three big poos, and six wees (dealt with guiltfree) Well done!!! Ahhh you mean TJ Well done you niki poos n wees no if it were me there would be alot more wees, heads dropped alot!!! Julie Well done you, I'm so glad it didn't seem too bad It will save you a fortune in the long run too. Julie Deleted - posted twice niki Day 2 and 3 not a bad day bad either, my first laundry load came out slightly marked on one of her nasty teething poos.  i was trying to not over do it with the detergents and heat setting  (in a true green fashion) and fell short . our changes were more frequent but not much more work.  my chum who i visited was quite impressed with my smart nappy, she took back her previous look of discust when she was told my plans to switch to reuseables and is now impressed DAY 3  am whitest whites and an overnight sucsess too (i thought they might leak)  i rolled up a terry into the smart nappy and it soaked up the pee for the whole night. Julie Get me a few pairs of rubbers from Mothercare to keep at my house and I'll give you the money back. I will make my own terry's with the toweling in my stockpile. niki its been over three weeks and 150 nappies later they have allready paid for themselves. i have gone and converted my unwanted terries into pre-shaped nappys in a newborn size for the wee man (who isnt here yet btw hes now 3 days late!) im a happy real nappy convertee wildgarlic hooray - glad the real nappies are going so well. 3 days late... well it is a male we are talking about here IainC wildgarlic wrote: hooray - glad the real nappies are going so well. 3 days late... well it is a male we are talking about here Yeah, don't expect him to turn up for about a week niki IainC wrote: wildgarlic wrote: hooray - glad the real nappies are going so well. 3 days late... well it is a male we are talking about here Yeah, don't expect him to turn up for about a week tell me about it im on day 10 now!  they are starting me tomorrow.  I begged my midwife! :oops:   cant feel like this for any longer wildgarlic I wondered for a while whether he might share the same birthday as TJ - but obviously not Here's hoping that you get started before they start you - pineapple curry and a hot steamy something IainC wildgarlic wrote: I wondered for a while whether he might share the same birthday as TJ - but obviously not Here's hoping that you get started before they start you - pineapple curry and a hot steamy something <chuckle> I'd imagine after a pineapple curry there definitely would be a hot steamy something   niki Wild G , im about to get in the bath does that count as steamy lol.
