Five poos in 24 hours. He must be teething. He’s dribbling a lot and not sleeping well. Which means I’m not sleeping well. He must be teething. Must connect with my mummy group and consult. There’s no temperature. Also is it possible he’s in walker nappies already? Huggies must be pretty arbitrary with their sizing.
Xavier moved out of newborns and onto crawlers when he was 4 weeks. When he was about 3 months and weighing less than the 11kg that Crawlers allow for, he moved onto Toddler nappies. Now he’s around 9.5kg but the Toddler nappies are a tight fit. He’s moving onto Walkers. Though ever since I watched the documentary on fertility and phthalates, I’m thinking about sourcing less synthetic nappies. I’m already using cloth during the day, but I will try to find some nappies with less fire retardant materials. I want grandchildren one day and we just don’t know what the impact of all these chemicals yet. Also, I’m so sick of seeing Pooh bear on nappies. I’ve managed to avoid most Disney-fied characters. Yes I know that Pooh Bear was not originally a Disney character and was created by Christopher Milne. But I just want a plain white nappy. I know it’s very communist of me not to like branding. But I just want a classy, minimalist, streamline, organic, well fitting, disposable, biodegradable nappy!

I’m going to try some organic cloth nappies from Nip Naps.
