What we've done from that point, in the past, is transit to a hospital 'bluey': a waterproof sheet that goes under the kid and is easily transferred for cleaning. It honestly never occurred to me to go for the full-mattress condom. Stoopid? Yep. Definitely. <br /><br />Sue... "pasty butt"? Are you trying to tell me that someone has to wipe the arses of these miniature menaces or they will die of a plugged bunghole? <br /><br />And Beeso -- I'm jealous of your ducks, but not your bantams.

...Thank the Sky Moose I live in a suburban flat...<br /><br />On changing the mattress - you don't have leak proof cover over the mattress? We got a couple from the dreaded KMart a while back that don't get all sweaty like plain plastic would. The Little Bloke hasn't leaked too often - but when he has the mattress protector was a Very Useful Purchase. It's amazing how fast you can change bedclothes in the middle of the night when forced to eh?Bondiboy66https://www.blogger.com/profile/03526870939619033169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485469691062620401.post-52577739084576803622009-11-19T18:05:42.877-08:002009-11-19T18:05:42.877-08:00And keep those little fluffy bottoms clean...pasty...And keep those little fluffy bottoms clean...pasty butt would be an ignominious way to die, even for 'tiny little fucking proto-Bantams'.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10574314121763385074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2485469691062620401.post-20999878890303566132009-11-19T17:45:35.415-08:002009-11-19T17:45:35.415-08:00Heheh - so many... stinky, death-filled memories. ...Heheh - so many... stinky, death-filled memories.

I'll have you know we've had perfectly good, egg-laying chickens for a few years now, and much enjoyed the experience. What we have now is not 'chickens', but 'tiny little fucking proto-Bantams'. Which is entirely different. And much shittier.<br /><br />NatV...that is a headache. Yes. And I expect I'll be the recipient of many similar headaches over a ten year period beginning about six years from now.
