cloth. We didn't need to buy anything for #3 lol |
|
19:24:36 |
lilangelsfc |

19:25:22 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:25:24 |
lilangelsfc |
I am an inhome childcare provider so I can empathize |
|
19:25:30 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
how did you first learn about cloth diapering? |
|
19:25:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I was a licensed day care provider for 5 years....well
still am but don't do it anymore. |
|
19:25:58 |
lilangelsfc |
I happened across the cloth board on bbc while I was
cruising around on the June birth club |
|
19:26:14 |
lilangelsfc |
me too, I am going on 6 years now |
|
19:26:15 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:26:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:26:43 |
lilangelsfc |
Iam looking to get out of childcare now though, I have
had some real dead beat parents lately |
|
19:26:53 |
lilangelsfc |
I bought some from ebay that I love |
|
19:27:00 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
it's always the parents isn't it? |
|
19:27:05 |
lilangelsfc |
I believe it was sweet dreams dipes |
|
19:27:12 |
lilangelsfc |
love the kids, the parents are rough |
|
19:27:20 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yup |
|
19:27:33 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so, a three week old huh? how was birth? |
|
19:27:38 |
lilangelsfc |
I live in a really small town so it makes it harder to
fill |
|
19:27:48 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
352 in my town. |
|
19:27:51 |
lilangelsfc |
birth was rough, I was induced again. 20 hrs |
|
19:27:58 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
UGH!!!' |
|
19:28:09 |
lilangelsfc |
lol we have around 800 including country people |
|
19:28:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
the town where I grew up and recently moved *from* is
800., |
|
19:28:52 |
lilangelsfc |
my first dd was 24 hrs, 2nd was 3 days before she
finally appeared" so I guess this baby couldn't be shown
up" |
|
19:29:00 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
but it is more of a bedroom community, I'd say a third
are farmers, rest just sleep there and work in the BIG
city of 30,000 |
|
19:29:09 |
lilangelsfc |
wow that must have been a huge change for you |
|
19:29:29 |
lilangelsfc |
the closest city to us is 45 minutes away |
|
19:29:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
well it is, i guess you figured out that I had been in
that town all of my life (since I was six), I'm now 36
and moved for the first time in my life. |
|
19:30:08 |
lilangelsfc |
wow that would be hard |
|
19:30:21 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
it was! It was just last fall. |
|
19:30:26 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
you have difficult births... |
|
19:30:30 |
lilangelsfc |

mod_Cuddlebaby |
what's your favorite diaper making fabric? |
|
19:46:56 |
reese |
well my dh thinks i have entirely too much |
|
19:47:00 |
reese |
wool |
|
19:47:01 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
they all do |
|
19:47:06 |
reese |
i'm addicted to wool |
|
19:47:07 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
really? |
|
19:47:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that's one area to which I have not ventured. |
|
19:47:24 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
you mean for soakers? |
|
19:47:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
or absorbency? |
|
19:47:41 |
reese |
that and i love velours, i wish i could get my hands on
that ov |
|
19:47:48 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
ov? |
|
19:47:55 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
something velour? |
|
19:48:01 |
reese |
oh i love wool as a cover but in general i love sewing
with wool |
|
19:48:09 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
organic velour? |
|
19:48:14 |
reese |
organic velour |
|
19:48:34 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, I guess that's hard to come by (according to terri
of fmbg) |
|
19:48:35 |
reese |
i use either bkt or hemp/cotton fleece or terry for
soaker |
|
19:48:37 |
reese |
s |
|
19:49:09 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, absorbency right? I say soakers are the absorbent
part of the diaper but some call the wool covers
soakers. |
|
19:49:29 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
would wool be good to make the body of the diaper with
though? |
|
19:49:33 |
reese |
the hand knitted are soakers, so it does get confusing
lol |
|
19:49:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, do you knit or crochet? |
|
19:50:23 |
reese |
hm im not sure, i 've used wool as a liner" as an
experiment, that worked well" |
|
19:50:45 |
reese |
no i suck with the hooks and needles, i'm a sewing
machine freak LOL |
|
19:51:06 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
hmmm, have you used the knitted wool soakers? |
|
19:51:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah me too. I can crochet but by comparison sewing
with teh machine is MUCH faster. |
|
19:51:39 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I'll leave the crocheting to my sisters and mother. |
|
19:51:54 |
reese |
no i can't afford much so never spent the money on a
soaker |
|
19:52:11 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, that's my problem, don't want to part with the $$
for wool |
|
19:52:20 |
reese |
lol in my case not only faster but much nicer |
|
19:52:21 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
have you used wool jersey or other mixes? |
|
19:52:44 |
reese |
i like both wool jersey and flannel marino is very
dreamy |
|
19:53:07 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
never heard of flannel marino |
|
19:53:13 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what do you use it for? |
|
19:53:16 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
diapers? |
|
19:53:17 |
reese |
but i've used inexpensive kind fromlocal shops, but
still 100% wool that was nice once felted |
|
19:53:41 |
reese |
diaper covers |
|
19:54:01 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that would be SO neat!!! |
|
19:54:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
where do you get it? |
|
19:54:15 |
reese |

|
19:54:37 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

mod_Cuddlebaby |
:) she's the best. |
|
19:55:57 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I'll ask her if she still has some, is it the flannel or
the jersey that you got that makes good covers? jersey,
right? flannel'd be way too absorbent for covers right? |
|
19:56:03 |
reese |
fabric connection, is that it? |
|
19:56:18 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
nope, hmm let's exchange contacts :) |

after trying all kinds, we are 100% fuzzibunz. |
|
20:05:26 |
onthebrink |
what do you all like? |
|
20:05:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that sounds like fun! |
|
20:05:33 |
reese |
it was a blast |
|
20:05:54 |
reese |
onthebrink, i gave up on fb's between the high needs
care and heat rashes |
|
20:06:04 |
reese |
otherwise i did like them |
|
20:06:12 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, I have two that I can't find... |
|
20:06:20 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
too lazy to stuff them. |
|
20:06:25 |
onthebrink |
oh wow, we don't think they are high need at all! why
did you think that? |
|
20:06:45 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I need to go, baby's fussy. |
|
20:06:47 |
onthebrink |
and no rashes ever |
|
20:06:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
bye! |
|
20:07:01 |
reese |
i had to strip them weekly or they'd stink ot high
heaven |
|
20:07:12 |
reese |
night Rebecca |
|
20:07:14 |
reese |
thanks |
|
20:07:21 |
onthebrink |
i figure i either spend time stuffing them or doing the
steps at diaper time. |
|
20:07:34 |
onthebrink |
we used fitteds and covers before and it was about the
same amount of time. |
|
20:07:51 |
reese |
that became a pain along with the heat rashes and they'd
still leak poo, so they were not my fav. cause of those
issue |
|
20:07:52 |
onthebrink |
never had the stink problem and never stripped them -
can't even think how to do that! |
|
20:08:10 |
onthebrink |
isn't it funny how different diapers work for different
babies? |
|
20:08:14 |
onthebrink |
so, reese, what do you use? |
|
20:08:23 |
reese |
i don't mind stuffing, i sewed myown and made many a
cotton pocket fitted to go with wool covers |
|
20:09:00 |
reese |
pretty much lol it all depends on water and washers too
i think |
|
20:09:06 |
onthebrink |
oh yes, definitely! |
|
20:09:29 |
onthebrink |
my 4 year old will not stay in bed. |
|
20:09:35 |
onthebrink |
she hates that we stay up later than her. |
|
20:09:43 |
reese |
i used homesewn diapers mostly but up until the past
year fitteds adn wool covers once i got rid of the fb's |
|
20:10:05 |
onthebrink |
funny - i hated wool covers! too much work! :) |
|
20:11:13 |
reese |
omg wool is easy peasy LOL |
|
20:11:43 |
reese |
this is a perfect example as to why there is such a vast
variety of cloth diapers out there |
|
20:12:11 |
onthebrink |
exactly! because wool drove me crazy and bothered
john's thighs |
|
20:12:26 |
reese |
aw man poor babe |
|
20:12:47 |
onthebrink |
how old is yours? |
|
20:12:50 |
reese |
and with the pul pockets ds would get heat rashes |
|
20:13:16 |
reese |
13,6,3, my toddler is my only cloth diaper bum :( sadly |
|
20:13:35 |
reese |
he's now out of diapers, but it's not been so long |
|
20:13:40 |
onthebrink |
did you use cloth with the others? |
|
20:14:11 |
onthebrink |
emma was potty trained for about a year before john was
born. by the time he was born, i was so eager to use
cloth again! |
|
20:14:36 |
reese |
no, i didn't have good info back then for them |
|
20:15:03 |
onthebrink |
if it wasn't for the internet, i doubt i would have done
cloth. |
|
20:15:23 |
reese |
ds even was sposied for 2 months then i was told how
cloth holds in breastfed poo like nobody's biz...i tried
and it did LOL |
|
20:15:28 |
reese |
exactly |
|
20:17:34 |
reese |
sorry my dd woke up with a bad dream |
|
20:18:07 |

unicorn put out the forest fire"" |

20:20:43 |
reese |
