|
19:02:20 |
onthebrink |
emma was mostly in fitteds with bummis SIWW |
|
19:02:30 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I've talked with a few die hard fuzzibunz people like

|
19:03:02 |
onthebrink |

|
19:03:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I only have two, both newborn, which I seem to have lost
int he move and now that I have a newborn, lost my
fuzzibunz :) |
|
19:03:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
my Nappie Wraps are very similar to the bummis wraps... |
|
19:03:42 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I've been told. It's what I sell the most of. |
|
19:03:59 |
Miranda |
We use disposible with my son, but I really want to use
cloth with this baby... hubby on the other hand doesn't
want anything to do with cloth |
|
19:04:15 |
onthebrink |
back |
|
19:04:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
when hubbies see how easy the modern day cloth are
(especially if you get some velcro ones) they change
their minds :) |
|
19:04:38 |
onthebrink |
do you make dipes, cuddlebaby? |
|
19:04:39 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what do you stuff your fuzzibunz with? |
|
19:04:45 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, cuddlebaby.com |
|
19:04:58 |
Miranda |
we would use a diaper service too so he wouldn't have to
worry about cleaning them so I'm not sure what the big
deal is lol |
|
19:05:06 |
onthebrink |
oh yes, miranda! my hubby loves the cloth! |
|
19:05:14 |
onthebrink |
oh wow - a diaper service! |
|
19:05:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah for diaper service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
19:05:24 |
onthebrink |
i stuff FBs with a hemp insert and a microfiber towel |
|
19:05:36 |
onthebrink |
or some combination of that, depending on need |
|
19:05:41 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
wow onthebrink! what a combination!! way cool |
|
19:05:53 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

onthebrink |
hi mummoth, didn |
|
19:09:35 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I seldom menstruate (since I am always nursing or
pregnant), but when I do I use the keeper (now known as
diva cup) and cloth pads... |
|
19:09:37 |
mummoth |
hi |
|
19:09:38 |
onthebrink |
didn't see you come in |

19:09:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
welcome mummoth! |
|
19:10:04 |
mummoth |
Hi cuddlebaby |
|
19:10:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what are the ages of your little ones? |
|
19:10:21 |
onthebrink |
i've had my period 14 times since july 2000 |
|
19:10:28 |
mummoth |
DS is 3 1/2 & DD is 1 |
|
19:10:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
onthebrink>first period since baby was born? |
|
19:10:57 |
onthebrink |
yep! with emma it was 18 months, but this time it was 9
months! he's a much lighter" nurser than emma." |
|
19:11:03 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
mine range from 9 years down to 10 weeks. |
|
19:11:18 |
mummoth |
Ive had 3? since March 2001 |
|
19:11:21 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
makes a difference doesn't it onthe? |
|
19:11:37 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what's your favorite diaper mummoth? or do you have
diaper questions? |
|
19:11:41 |
onthebrink |
oh, totally! |
|
19:11:49 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
we are also talking cloth for mom if you hadn't figured
that out ;) |
|
19:12:13 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
wow mummoth |
|
19:12:30 |
mummoth |
I don't have questions, not much of a hyena... DD has
these diapers that I love but I don't know what kind
they are... I bartered a sling for them |
|
19:12:32 |
onthebrink |
is the diva cup just like the keeper> |
|
19:12:40 |
onthebrink |
? |
|
19:12:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I've had only two since middle of 02.... |
|
19:12:52 |
onthebrink |
because i hated the keeper, but heard the diva cup might
be better. |
|
19:12:59 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
two between Colton who is 2 and Sarah who is 10 weeks. |
|
19:13:05 |
mummoth |
the diva cup is medical grade silicone, the keeper is
natural rubber |
|
19:13:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
mummoth, do you use them? |
|
19:14:01 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
onthe>yes, I don't think you can even get a keeper
anymore, they upgraded to silicone instead of gum rubber
and renamed it the diva cup |
|
19:14:04 |
mummoth |
I own the Diva cup but havent had an opportunity to use
it yet |
|
19:14:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I know the feeling! |
|
19:14:43 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I keep losing mine since it's so long in between. |
|
19:14:56 |
mummoth |
oh, I didnt realize it was the same company... Ive also
heard of one called a mooncup |
|
19:15:15 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah that one actually may be a competitor ;) |
|
19:15:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so you haven't yet used cloth diapers yet mummoth? |
|
19:15:47 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
do you know what kind you got in the trade? |
|
19:15:56 |
mummoth |
es... I have a bunch of the old style of Babykins
diapers.. |
|
19:16:24 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
not even sure I've heard of them....they are fitteds? |
|
19:16:37 |
mummoth |
I don't know what kind I got in trade... they are sherpa
cotton"? looks like stretchy terrycloth, and they have
snaps" |
|
19:16:48 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, sherpa is nice :) |
|
19:17:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
20% poly (probably) will make them last a long time...SO
soft. |
|
19:17:15 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
do you have covers? |
|
19:17:27 |
mummoth |
Babykins are fitted with velcro that goes through button
holes in the front & attach in the back |
|
19:17:44 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
wow, I need to see one of those! |
|
19:17:56 |
mummoth |
I have Bummis covers that I love & some Kooshies |
|
19:18:06 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
good. |
|
19:18:20 |
mummoth |
Ive heard they are good for when they get to the age
that they want to rip them off all the time |
|
19:18:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
oh you mean the snaps, yeah, that's true...and doesn't
catch stuff in the laundry like velcro does... |
|
19:18:59 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
but the daddies sure do seem to like velcro better than
snaps. |
|
19:19:48 |
mummoth |
heres one: http://www.bareware.net/analyzer/babykins.htm |
|
19:21:01 |
mummoth |
oh, DH only changes about 1 diaper a week! |
|
19:21:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
mine hasn't changed that many! I don't think one on
this baby.... |
|
19:21:39 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
cool pic...very interesting design.... |
|
19:22:13 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
have to roll the baby over to fasten them, I bet.... |
|
19:22:36 |
mummoth |
lol when DD was a newborn, DH was on parental leave...
DS was toilet learning, so he took care of all his
toiletting needs & I handled DD... I thinkit got us into
the habit of me always handling the diapering |
|
19:23:03 |
mummoth |
justa bit, sort of onto her side |
|
19:23:18 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
he brings in the paycheck so we can mother, I guess :) |
|
19:23:34 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what happened to onthe? |
|
19:23:41 |
mummoth |
Im not sure....? |
|

mod_Cuddlebaby |

19:25:21 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
MIchelle, (the one that sews cloth pads) has a diva
cupand she just loves it. |
|
19:25:34 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
it IS much more flexible (not as stiff) as my keeper. |
|
19:25:44 |
mummoth |
I bought a starter pack thing of cloth pads with my diva
cup |
|
19:25:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
don't be sorry :) |
|
19:25:58 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:26:54 |

that stiffness of the keeper is what i hated. maybe i'll
try the diva cup. |
|
19:26:57 |
mummoth |
I wanted to go with a Canadian company |
|
19:28:11 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:28:17 |
mummoth |

more than when I bought mine |
|
19:28:24 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
wow there is a lot I can buy for my baby <smirk> |
|
19:28:46 |
mummoth |

19:30:02 |
mummoth |

couple up... |
|
19:30:55 |
onthebrink |
i used to be a robeez fan, but now we love joshoes |
|
19:30:57 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

my baby is a girl :) |
|

piggy Robeez (the *exact ones DD had) & my sister said

19:38:09 |
onthebrink |
same username at both - onthebrink |
|
19:38:30 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
i'm at both |
|
19:38:38 |
mummoth |
what is amitys? |
|
19:38:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
but not active in last year or so |
|
19:38:57 |
onthebrink |
www.amitymama.com |
|
19:39:07 |
onthebrink |
similar to mothering, but a smaller community, perhaps? |
|
19:39:19 |
onthebrink |
i don't remember how i found it, but i've been there
since i was pregnant with emma |
|
19:39:35 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
used to be HUGE and it's much older than mothering |
|
19:39:58 |
mummoth |
ah... Il have a look around there later |
|
19:40:04 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
my website is listed there.. |
|
19:40:29 |
onthebrink |
ah, maybe that's why it's familiar! |
|
19:41:10 |
onthebrink |
yes, it shut down for a bit, if i recall, and started up
smaller. but still, it's grown like crazy! |
|
19:41:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
amity shut down for a bit? |
|
19:42:14 |
onthebrink |
yes, something happened with the server, i think. but
years ago - 2001 or early 2002 perhaps? |
|
19:42:28 |
onthebrink |
something similar happened with mothering around the
same time, i think? |
|
19:43:19 |
mummoth |
these are the diapers I traded a sling for:
http://www.thebabymarketplace.com/securestore/c26128p9611399.2.html
I have 4 of them |
|
19:44:32 |
onthebrink |
oh, i had some of those! i liked them! |
|
19:44:34 |
mummoth |
you guys are going to get me in trouble... they cost way
less than I assumed they would |
|
19:44:35 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
$26 for robeez or 14 dollars for joshoes... |
|
19:44:54 |
onthebrink |
yeah, big difference! and the joshoes are great! |
|
19:45:06 |
onthebrink |
but, she doesn't have piggies and stuff. but i only
like solid colors. |
|
19:45:10 |
mummoth |
they hold in poop, pretty much every time |
|
19:45:14 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I make them too, but still it's tempting to get some of
those joshoes. |
|
19:45:17 |
onthebrink |
she'll send you color swatches if you're interested. |
|
19:45:45 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
oh yeah, I've seen those sherpa diapers.... |
|
19:45:48 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
pretty simple... |
|
19:46:24 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
most wahm made diaper do a great job of holding in poop,
it's (of course) the leg elastics... |
|
19:46:27 |
mummoth |

mod_Cuddlebaby |
couldn't be simpler. |
|
19:47:58 |

alligator death roll... |

|
19:48:39 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:51:08 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:51:12 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

19:51:13 |
mummoth |

|
19:51:37 |
mummoth |

|
19:52:14 |
onthebrink |
i go to 2 meetings a month - the ones i lead! |
|
19:52:25 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:52:27 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:52:34 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:52:37 |
mummoth |
Im an applicant... |
|
19:52:38 |
onthebrink |
i go to our area conference every year. i'm presenting
twice this time, and even hubby is presenting! |
|
19:52:49 |
onthebrink |
my mom was a leader 25 years ago or so! |
|
19:52:50 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what's your and hubby's topic? |
|
19:52:56 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so was my mom! |
|
19:53:11 |
onthebrink |
i'm presenting on night time parenting and extended
breastfeeding. rob is talking about dads and
discipline. |
|
19:53:24 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
way cool,. |
|
19:53:39 |
mummoth |
DH loved the conference... he went just to watch DS &
was really not very keen on it, but by the time we left
he felt validated/like a really good dad |
|
19:53:42 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
all favorite topics of mine. |
|
19:53:59 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so cool about your hubby... |
|
19:54:13 |
onthebrink |
yeah, he's a cool hubby. i like him! |
|
19:54:30 |
mummoth |
yeah... the conference is what put the idea in his head
to take parental leave after DD was born |
|
19:54:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that's important! especially to your kids. |
|
19:54:43 |
onthebrink |
the night time parenting one is a bit of a joke. i
mean, john nurses all night and emma is still in our bed
as well. so i don't have any words or wisdowm, really! |
|
19:55:27 |
mummoth |
the only word of wisdom I have about nighttime parenting
is SURRENDER! |
|
19:55:35 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
same story here, both the 2 yo and the baby in our
bed....just got a king sized, that's about the only
advice you could give! king sized bed :) |
|
19:55:40 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so no one'son the couch. |
|
19:55:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
cute mummoth! |
|
19:55:52 |
mummoth |
You can't change it, so dont get ina twist... its the
only control you have! |
|
19:56:15 |
onthebrink |
we have a queen bed with a twin pushed up beside it.
extra big space! |
|
19:56:22 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yup! all you can do is control YOUR reaction to
something... |
|
19:56:36 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
wow, that'd be nice too onthe. |
|
19:56:44 |
onthebrink |
it's great! |
|
19:56:58 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
us cloth diapering people have so much in common :) |
|
19:57:06 |
onthebrink |
emma is supposed to be in the twin part, but usually
it's rob (hubby) with emma and john on either side of
me. |
|
19:57:13 |
onthebrink |
does this chat end in 4 minutes? |
|
19:57:17 |
mummoth |
Im serious... DS was a wierd baby..we tried to cosleep,
but he couldnt... it was like he got overstimulated just
by being so close to us |
|
19:57:41 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, and unfortunately, I'll need to go, have to
relieve hubby of the baby so he can mow... |
|
19:57:53 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
anD I need to see if there is any leftovers :) |
|
19:57:55 |
onthebrink |
mow? what time is it there? it's 9pm here! |
|
19:58:04 |
mummoth |
so I got up & nursed him on the couch... Id be all bent
out of shape, resenting him, watching the clock,
stressing about everything I hadnt gotten done that day,
what I had to do in the morning etc |
|
19:58:17 |
onthebrink |
oh, mummoth, that's no good! |
|
19:58:24 |
onthebrink |
how is it now? |
|
19:58:29 |
mummoth |
he'd take an hour and fifteen minutes to get to bed,
pretty much everytime |
|
19:58:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
8 but the sun won't go down until almost 10 |
|
19:58:43 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
mummoth, you sound like me! |
|
19:59:09 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
he needs extra mothering. |
|
19:59:18 |
mummoth |
one night, I dont know why, I just thought whatever,
this is going to take as long as it takes, I might as
well just enjoy the quiet. 45 minutes" |
|
19:59:41 |
mummoth |
next night, tried again 45 minutes, and the night after
that same thing |
|
20:00:14 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
way to adjust! |
|
20:00:15 |
mummoth |
it was like he could sense when I was all angsty & it
was making him more clingy/need me more... he was upset
because I was upset |
|
20:00:23 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yup! |
|
20:00:32 |
mummoth |
it was like this ipiphany (sp?) |
|
20:00:38 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that's exactly why lots of babies are fussy in the
evenings.... |
|
20:00:41 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
cuz mom is. |
|
20:00:45 |
mummoth |
lol |
|
20:00:53 |
onthebrink |
oh, definitely! |
|
20:00:57 |
onthebrink |
