You might have noticed....

That nappies over at www.babysafari.com.au are mostly selling for $10.  You probably haven't wondered why.. or maybe you did?!  


Over the last few months life has changed and I am finding less room for the store I started almost 4 years ago.  I had a discussion with my always supportive parents, who backed my business venture in many ways, and it was decided that we would offer Baby Safari for sale.


If you are interested in finding out more then please email me (Alisha) to find out more.  We are currently compiling a list of the assets the business has and I will be commencing stock take soon.  You do not need to be an excellent seamstress, most of our products are made offshore but if you can sew then the opportunity is there to do custom nappies and sew other products.  The business has great potential to expand for someone who has the time and drive to make it succeed.


In the mean time I will continue with the stock reduction and the nappies are walking out the door at the moment!   We had made another order with our supplier which is due in soon, mostly for cloth pads and cloth breast pads so they will be added with they arrive.

Cloth Nappies in winter.

This will be my fourth winter using MCN, and winter is probably my least favourite time to be a MCN user.  The lack of sun is a drag and I get really tired of seeing all the laundry, not just nappies, all over my living room!!

I thought I'd share some of my Cloth Nappying in winter tips in case anyone else out there is finding it difficult.

I have found pocket nappies great for the colder weather.  The shells dry quite quickly regardless of the temperature and if you have a couple of extra inserts you can reuse the shell again while your other inserts are drying.  Mircrofibre inserts also dry really quickly which is handy on cold days.  The bamboo inserts in our Adventurer nappies are trifolds so they are only two layers when unfolded which means they will dry quicker than they would of if we had made them a rectangular shape with 6 layers.

If you have a dryer you can put your inserts in there to help dry them off quickly.  I do NOT recommend putting pocket shells or AIO nappies in the dryer as it can affect the PUL and elastic.

I don't have a dryer but we do have a wood heater.  I find the bamboo inserts, which generally take the longest to dry still only take a day or so when in front of the heater.  I know people with central heating have success with drying their nappies on a clothes horse  placed over the vent.

The fastest drying AIO I have used is the Pikapu, it has a microfibre inner so it can be dry within an hour in front of the heater.  I boost my Pikapu with a bamboo booster so if you had an extra booster to use while the first was drying you could easily reuse the nappy within the same day (depending on when you washed it of course).

I can never wait for the warmer days to come back so my nappies can get a dose of sun to help sanitise them!
