New with lots of questions!!!

[mum2lucas]

Hi my name is Meagan. I have a little ( big ) boy Lucas who is almost three and a half months old.

I love cloth nappies and have made about 12 pockets so far (I actually think I should join a CA ( cloths anonymous ) group as I am fast becoming an addict to nappies and reasearching them on the net!!!.

I am new to forums so will need a little help with the language!!

I have some questions......

I saw in a post something about Perth Nappycino. Is this a get together to look at nappies and check out the different types etc? If so how do I find out more about it?

I want to get hold of some bamboo to make some fitted nappies and wanted fabric that is the same as the new baby beehinds coloured bamboo nappies. Does anyone know where I could get this from and if so what it is called?

I am going to see if anyone is interested in using cloth at my local child health nurse mothers group. Is there an advocacy pack of nappies to borrow and show if I can get enough interest?

I am also trying to do cloth at night using bamboo baby beehinds with a wool cover but would appreciate any advice on how to boost and if anyone has used microfibre with one as the front of the nappy is soaked and the back not so much.

Are there any people in perth who offer a snap service and how much should I expect to pay for it?

I am sure these questions are supposed to be posted in their relevant sections.......but my head is just so full of questions. I think they must have taken over the space where my brain used to be....

Welcome we are all addicted here

Howdy and welcome


I'll just pick out one q, but there are a few of us with snap presses, myself included, I don't mind snapping/lending it out.
There is a meet coming up but I don't know the etiquette re details since it's in the WA forum (member for x time to access)
although details are often posted on other publicly viewable forums so so long as Mod/Admin and everyone else is okay with it, then perhaps someone can let you know the details via pm (private message)

Welcome!

can you boost more at the front?? the foldable booster can be folded where its needed...
microfibre cant really be in contact with skin...

Hi Megan Welcome to NC, always nice to see another Perthie.
I am the keeper of the Perth Advocacy Kit, so if you have some luck with your mothers group just PM me or email michp@iinet.net.au and we can work out a suitable time for you to borrow it.

[mum2lucas]

Thanks Michelle will do :-)

No problems. Also just thought that I would mention that we have a sewing workshop coming up in March so keep an eye out for that if you are interested.

Hi Meagan, welcome to NC!
Lots of snap presses around town and I for one doesn't mind you coming around to snap away free of charge. Although maybe the charge is chocolate biscuits

[mum2lucas]

I make a mean chocolate chip biscuit and choc cake!!
