This is the thing I'm loving about the fuzzi's, they dry so quickly!! The other night I had to hang them up inside thanks to the weather but they were all perfectly dry the next morning. ]]> Thu, 02 Nov 2006 21:15:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83420&title=how-many-nappies#83420 <![CDATA[How many nappies? : Oh good grief!

we were really good till I had Mikey we were using cloth on Alan it was great. I now use combo if pam's and huggies at night when summer come's in I will go back to cloth for both boy's it saved us so much it is just too hard with the wet weather. Hopefully over the summer we can get Alan to start toliet training.
Oh yeah wanted to add Emma that is bit off for the m/w I mean is she going to come and wash them for you.

MIne are eating their way thru a pack of Huggies every 2 days The midwife came yesterday and gave me the guilts about starting using the cloth (I told her I was going to start at 6 weeks and she gave me the "in my day we didn't have disposables" lecture) so they're now in cloth during the day.

Yeah it definitely is getting expensive and I really rely on the foodtown and countdown specials where they sell huggies for $8.99 or $9.99 depending on the week!

Sorry if I wasn't clear about it, but Alyssa doesn't have any issues with nappy rash at all these days so I know she isn't disliking a dirty nappy due to pain or anything...I think she has just become really really fussy now from those early days of changing as soon as the nappy was dirty.

thanks gsmum, you really made my day with your post

I edited my other post as I realised I had typed "wet" but I meant to just type nappy.. no, I wouldn't put a wet nappy back on a baby, but if it is still dry then there is no harm in putting it back on again, after all, disposables have tabs to refasten if needed

i'm sorry meow but that must be the weirdest thing i have heard in a long time, no she wont notice it, until she starts getting a rash or fungal infection ... you would be better off giving her more nappy free time, and now that it is getting warmer ... so maybe take her nappy off and then let her have a kick and play without her nappy (put maybe a cloth nappy under her or something you dont mind getting dirty just in case) and then put a clean one on just before you feed her.?   ]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 22:57:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83231&title=how-many-nappies#83231 <![CDATA[How many nappies? : what if you take the nappy off...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83222&title=how-many-nappies#83222 Author: meow

what if you take the nappy off and put it back on again? If it is still dry then she shouldn't notice?

Edited as I didn't mean to type "wet" nappy, I meant if it was still dry..

Taine was exactly the same and still is. Jake could wander around for days with a dirty nappy and not care, but Taine wants it off NOW!!!!!

We use cloth nappies but it works out the same...we go through 7-8 nappies in a 24 hour period, we change each feed and again if she has a dirty nappy in between.

It's not a bad thing to change when dirty after all sitting in a dirty nappy too long is a big contributor to nappy rash! ]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:11:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83131&title=how-many-nappies#83131 <![CDATA[How many nappies? : Peace wrote:Olivia was on about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83129&title=how-many-nappies#83129 Author: pepsi

She's actually sleeping 10 hours at night now so most of the nappies are during the day unfortunately ]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:09:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83129&title=how-many-nappies#83129 <![CDATA[How many nappies? : we are the same, we use huggies...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83127&title=how-many-nappies#83127 Author: my2angels

we are the same, we use huggies at night (just one from 8pm to 7am) unless she poos but then from the 7am change we would probably use around 6ish a day depending on how many are dirty.

Hi Ladies,

I was just wondering how many nappies your babies of similar ages to my little one are going through these days? Alyssa is almost 14 weeks old and still seem to go through a heck of a lot of them! I would say I use at least 15 or more every day...not sure how many is the norm though?

She absolutely will not put up with even a slightly dirty nappy and won't stop grizzling until she has been changed. This is probably my fault as early on she had nappy rash and so I changed often as was recommended to me and so now she's extra fussy! On top of this, she has always had the routine of a feed after a nappy change so this is demanded as well! Little monkey!! ]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 17:10:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4305&PID=83114&title=how-many-nappies#83114
