Hello :) |
|
22:11:53 |
ourwiefamily |
Here is my all important cloth diapering question for
the night .... (drum roll) |
|
22:12:17 |
ourwiefamily |
If one is thinking about doing cloth for both their 2yo
and baby, does one wash all the diapers together ... or
keep separate pails and wash separately??? |
|
22:14:20 |
Host_Bumwrap |
keep them together |
|
22:14:28 |
Host_Bumwrap |
why make more work for yourself? |
|
22:15:35 |
Host_Bumwrap |
it all comes out in the wash so to speak |
|
22:15:37 |
ourwiefamily |
okay ... this is even true when baby has nice breastfed
poops and toddler has stinkies from the dark place? |
|
22:15:43 |
ourwiefamily |
LOL |
|
22:15:44 |
Host_Bumwrap |
yup |
|
22:15:59 |
Host_Bumwrap |
just dump the log, lol |
|
22:16:56 |
ourwiefamily |
Weeelllll ... my toddler doesn't have logs ... he has
mushy yukky poops that cling ... :( |
|
22:17:12 |
Host_Bumwrap |
you have a diaper sprayer? |
|
22:17:17 |
ourwiefamily |
I have had that issue w/ all my toddlers and it has been
one of the banes of my previous CDing experiences. |
|
22:17:44 |
vonnie |
ah |
|
22:17:49 |
Host_Bumwrap |
the other thing is a spatula specally makerd DIAPERS |
|
22:17:51 |
vonnie |
mine is in disoapble diapers unfortunately |
|
22:18:10 |
ourwiefamily |
no ... I have heard about them though. They sound
neat. Where does one get a sprayer? |
|
22:18:11 |
Host_Bumwrap |
:( |
|
22:18:15 |
vonnie |
dont really know someone who does cloth - but i want to
potty train him pretty soon so where and when should i
get those if any |
|
22:20:09 |
ourwiefamily |
I like the spatula idea and agree with the marking! lol |
|
22:20:41 |
ourwiefamily |
I just find the idea that other people don't have nasty
mushy toddler poops to be foreign and have honestly
wondered if something is wrong w/ my kids, yk? Do you
hear about this much? |
|
22:20:43 |
Host_Bumwrap |
:D |
|
22:20:55 |
Host_Bumwrap |
yes it is normal |
|
22:21:05 |
diapermama |
We use toilet paper to wipe off excess and throw in into
toilet and then its ready to wash. |
|
22:21:48 |
Host_Bumwrap |
we don't use much paper here |
|
22:22:24 |
ourwiefamily |
so do you just pretty much leave some of it if there are
the mushy poops and just figure it will all come out in
the wash, so to speak? |
|
22:22:28 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I prefer wipes for all of us |
|
22:22:34 |
Host_Bumwrap |
yes |
|
22:22:38 |
ourwiefamily |
okay |
|
22:22:56 |
Host_Bumwrap |
get most of it off |
|
22:23:09 |
vonnie |
(sorry!do you know how to make homemade wipes? |
|
22:23:11 |
Host_Bumwrap |
or what you can |
|
22:23:13 |
diapermama |
Ahhh, we still use TP here. Haven't been brave enough to
switch the whole family to cloth :) |
|
22:23:30 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I bought most of mine |
|
22:23:40 |
Host_Bumwrap |
but 2 layers of flannel are great |
|
22:23:50 |
Host_Bumwrap |
the only one on TP is DH |
|
22:25:08 |
Host_Bumwrap |
he is pretty chicken, lol |
|
22:25:23 |
vonnie |
homewipes are wonderful if you wanna me tell you how |
|
22:25:32 |
Host_Bumwrap |
diapermama is that you tiffany??? |
|
22:26:34 |
ourwiefamily |
You'd think I'd remember this stuff given my previous
CDing experience but I have a swiss cheese brain |
|
22:26:40 |
ourwiefamily |
well, and I never quite figured it out before either |
|
22:26:41 |
diapermama |
T-I-F-F-A-N-Y......Yes it is I :) |
|
22:26:47 |
Host_Bumwrap |

22:27:45 |
diapermama |

|
22:29:54 |
vonnie |
sorry trying to follow two hats room lol |
|
22:29:57 |
Host_Bumwrap |
lol |
|
22:30:05 |
Host_Bumwrap |
any questions? |
|
22:30:08 |
ourwiefamily |
next big question ... do any of you have Lands End
diaper bags? If so what do you think of their zip pouch
(kind of cloudy colored) for holding wet diapers. |
|
22:30:21 |
ourwiefamily |
Trying to figure out how we will do the cloth while
out"" |
|
22:30:42 |
Host_Bumwrap |
let me go look at LE |
|
22:31:06 |
ourwiefamily |
I have an older bag so not sure if the zip bag has
changed since ... I'm guessing it would only fit one
maybe two wet dipes |
|
22:31:42 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I have had several LE bags & love them |
|
22:31:50 |
Host_Bumwrap |
the back packs are great! |
|
22:32:19 |
ourwiefamily |
how do you all keep the wet dipes when you are out? Do
you bring a bag of some sort to stick them in? |
|
22:32:30 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I have a bummis bag |
|
22:32:40 |
Host_Bumwrap |
where is the zip pouch at LE? |
|
22:32:43 |
diapermama |
I have a bummis also |
|
22:32:51 |
ourwiefamily |
what does that look like? Do you have a link for me? |
|
22:33:22 |
vonnie |
yeah ourwie never saw that? |
|
22:33:30 |
Host_Bumwrap |

|
22:33:42 |
vonnie |

|
22:33:47 |
Host_Bumwrap |

|
22:34:33 |
ourwiefamily |

22:34:38 |
Host_Bumwrap |

|
22:34:51 |
Host_Bumwrap |

|
22:35:09 |
Host_Bumwrap |
where is the draw string you are talking about at lands
end? |
|
22:35:27 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I am sorry you said zippered |
|
22:35:45 |
vonnie |
why shouldn't you go there? |
|
22:36:02 |
Host_Bumwrap |
DD is only in diapers at night |
|
22:36:11 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I love them & want them still, lol |
|
22:36:17 |
diapermama |
I use a bummis diaper pail liner too... |
|
22:36:36 |
ourwiefamily |
it came w/ the diaper bag ... it was just a little
cloudy looking bag that had a zipper and was for wet
stuff. I don't remember what they called it |
|
22:36:37 |
vonnie |
but i bet ur still carrying things around RIGH? |
|
22:36:45 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I remember |
|
22:36:52 |
Host_Bumwrap |
it is OK, but small |
|
22:36:59 |
ourwiefamily |
okay ... the bummis bags ... are they nylon w/
drawstrings? |
|
22:37:10 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I use the backpac all the time! |
|
22:37:16 |
Host_Bumwrap |
yes |
|
22:37:19 |
vonnie |
i know i wanna use backpack but im considering |
|
22:37:21 |
diapermama |
I have had bags with that same pouch...fit 1-2 smallish
diapers and only 1 in larger sizes |
|
22:37:25 |
vonnie |
wearing my boy again but not sure how |
|
22:37:36 |
Host_Bumwrap |
that does make it harder |
|
22:38:17 |
Host_Bumwrap |
LE bags are great quality! |
|
22:38:42 |
ourwiefamily |
that's what i thought with the little zip bag |
|
22:39:00 |
vonnie |
yeah? |
|
22:39:09 |
vonnie |
ok how should i potty train him? and |
|
22:39:13 |
Host_Bumwrap |
they lasted through 3 kids |
|
22:39:14 |
vonnie |
would cloth be best? |
|
22:39:15 |
ourwiefamily |
sigh ... I like how it keeps the wets in so I thought it
would be nice. I had bummis bag before I think but
found it wicked a bit. Maybe the water proofing was
wearing out? |
|
22:40:01 |
Host_Bumwrap |
is he ready for PT yet? |
|
22:40:14 |
vonnie |
im not sure? |
|
22:40:33 |
Host_Bumwrap |
how old is he? |
|
22:40:34 |
vonnie |
how do i decide |
|
22:40:38 |
vonnie |
23b months |
|
22:40:45 |
vonnie |
he hasn't lately bec i told him not to |
|
22:40:51 |
vonnie |
but he used to take off his pants and diapers |
|
22:41:26 |
Host_Bumwrap |
I would go prefolds & covers for now until he shows an
interest & then go trainers |
|
22:41:42 |
Host_Bumwrap |
that would be cheapest |
|
22:42:00 |
vonnie |
where should i get them |
|
22:42:05 |
vonnie |
probably online so |
|
22:42:12 |
ourwiefamily |
vonnie ... my kids have not been ready to potty train by
that age, but I'm probably a bad example! |
|
22:42:27 |
vonnie |
bec im in a town" but i haven't found cloth diapers
except from those crappy ones that could even use for
burp cloth at target lol" |
|
22:42:27 |
Host_Bumwrap |
3 is more normal |
|
22:42:35 |
vonnie |
ha ourwie :-) |
|
22:42:45 |
diapermama |
3 for my son |
|
22:43:07 |
diapermama |
I would talk to him about the potty to prepare him |
|
22:43:22 |
vonnie |
hes hard to get attention |
|
22:43:26 |
vonnie |
he doesn't watch me easily |
|
22:43:29 |
