after seeing a post about back up sposies im just wondering who here has them?
We havent had any sposies in the house since we started using full time cloth at 6 weeks or so.
the thought never even crossed my mind about having any either

Lol, am I a bad clothie? :)
I have backups thanks to the lovely coops sending me all hers, but once I'm done with these then I think I'm just going to rely on cheap fitteds. The only time I use them is when the weather is bad - we don't have a dryer, or if I've been slack with the washing.

Yes I still have a box of huggies here, that I used when it was really wet a few weeks ago....and well with them just sitting there I am finding myself using them at night as a night nappy even though i have no reason to as I have my BBB for night time.....it's because they are just THERE, and i don't want them to go to waste as the box cost like $33 or something... I could have bought a brand new bubblebubs for that price :'( I am weak, weak I tell ya! as soon as they are gone the better, with them there I am prone to use them more. Sad hey? lol

I have 8 Naturebaby nappies which have sat in a Huggies wipes container since January :P
I just haven't gotten around to giving them to anyone yet :)
They aren't backup sposies... Our stash is big enough for us not to need backups ;)

Yah, we got a back up still. But we stil have a relatively small stash..
That, and for some reason dh prefers to just put Evies into a disposable, rather then trying to figure out how to put on a cloth nappy.
Even though I have a stack of AIO's+pockets ready to go..

Haven't had sposies for ages- I have half a pack of 4-to 8 kilo nappies, waaaaaaaaaay to small for my young man. They will come in handy for my sister, she wants to start out with sposies, at least until she feels comfy with being a mum.

I think you gave them to me last time I was around and they were too small for A so I passed them on to another mum as backup for cloth.
I still have sposies as backups and night nappies until I get all the BBBs (3 in the post, I hope).

We've got a packet of sposies here that we bought when we went away for a holiday. They haven't been touched since we got back, she actually got a really bad rash from being in disposables for such a long time non-stop!!
Which surprised me, I thought cloth would cause more rashes than disposables!

We have no dryer and I only have 2 night nappies.......so when the nappies are in the bucket or we have bad drying weather I use sposies at night.
During the day I use cloth usually 100%....however DH put one of our back-ups sposies on Caleb yesterday morning. I must admit I didn't complain cos Caleb has had the runs (terrible, stinky, runny, disgusting and hard to scrape off) and I am soooooooooo over it. Its been for a couple of weeks. Sigh. I just needed a break, its sending me :rolleyes: .
Back to cloth today though. And every nappy has had a poo. :( Its so gross.

i was doing part time sposies until we recently ran out.. and well since ur incme is in a huge pinch atm - i thought I'djust use prefolds.... Izzy wont keep them on though - so she's just been wee'ing on the floor then using it to clean it up :lol: I have hardly any mcn's as my main stash was prefolds and I havent had the $$ to buy any(well recently I bought some.. which will help HEAPS!).
I think I only have 1 bubblebubs, 1 haute, 2 crappy peapods that wick like nothing else, 1 american aio, an iishfly second, 6 kissaluvs fitteds, 24 toddler prefolds, and 18 infant prefolds with 4 bummi's covers.. *sigh* The bummi's always wick despite my best efforts.. so I have to wash every day and hope theres at least 1 cover to last while they dry - or hope its hot like it has been and Izzy can just run around naked.. lol
oh yeah.. eta : the kissaluvs elastic is pretty shot, so they leak poo out the sides - another downfall with the bummi's *sigh* lol

We've been using sposies full time for a few weeks now :disappointed:
Alexi's got a shocking rash from diarrhea. Nothing we use is getting rid of it (using sposies so we can use creams).
Sorry, having an attack of the guilts. Ordinarily we don't keep any sposies in the house.

I used sposies for a day 2 weeks ago to see if it would help Phoenix's awful rash (I mean shocking, posted a pic on here in cloth chat, really bad like weeping and bleeding bad :tdown: ) It didn't help.
The best combo so far to heal it has been zinc really thick, and then lashings of Cornstarch with Aloe and Vitamin E (Johnsons Not-Talc). Healing well now YAY :tup:
I use liners with cloth and strip wash them :)

Thanks Amber,
We've started using a zinc and castor oil cream. I was thinking if that didn't work, I was going to get some steroid cream from the doctor. We've used it before, cleared it up in one day. We were given cortisone cream, but that has done nada!

We have been using Kenacomb which is supposed to be anti-everything; Anti-fungal, steroidal, the works.... Did nada, we tried it for almost 3 weeks!
But Zinc + the Johnsons Cornstarch powder forms a thick paste which is still there at the next nappy change. I think the Aloe and Vitamin E is helping a lot too, it must absorb in. Using that mix since Thursday morning, and his rash has gotten 300% better since then. I was starting to tear my hear out- it was REALLY bad. I'm talking lumps that were weeping :( Now they are smaller, less red, and looking like they could be gone in a few days :tup:

If that doesn't work I'll try the cavicol :lol:

Yeah we have half a pack of sposies sitting here. Haven't touched one in well over a month now, infact I'd totally forgotten about them until this post. I have no intention of EVER putting another one on Kaitlyns bum.
Ofcourse that depends on how I go with drying all the MCNs once the rainy season gets here :dull:
