19:16:45 TurboClaudia i'm back
19:16:50 TurboClaudia it was a poopy one
19:17:11 mod_Cuddlebaby good  :)
19:17:25 mod_Cuddlebaby good that you are back and good that he/she poops!
19:17:48 mod_Cuddlebaby What's your favorite diaper or system and why?
19:17:50 TurboClaudia yes, he poops a lot
19:17:54 mod_Cuddlebaby :)
19:18:00 TurboClaudia and eats a lot
19:18:03 mod_Cuddlebaby must be breastfed..
19:18:29 TurboClaudia he's almost 14 months, and although still breastfeeding a few times a day, mostly eating solid food
19:18:38 TurboClaudia and eating like a fiend
19:18:51 TurboClaudia many of my mama friends ask if he has a hollow lef
19:18:52 TurboClaudia leg
19:18:59 TurboClaudia :)
19:19:08 mod_Cuddlebaby :)
19:19:14 mod_Cuddlebaby probably an active guy?
19:19:22 mod_Cuddlebaby requires tons of calories!!
19:19:35 TurboClaudia yes, started taking some wobbly mini steps by himself a few days ago, and it keeps increasing every day
19:19:52 mod_Cuddlebaby now he's a cruisin' and burning up calories!!
19:20:05 mod_Cuddlebaby is he a chubby kid?  he'll lose a lot of baby fat right now....
19:20:34 TurboClaudia favorite diapering system... hmm.. we mostly use prefolds and a snappi and a bummis cover, but we have a few fitteds and a few fuzzibunz that we use for night time
19:20:45 TurboClaudia no, he's always been a long and skinny string bean
19:20:51 TurboClaudia except for his giant belly
19:20:57 TurboClaudia hee hee
19:21:24 mod_Cuddlebaby simple, I like that.
19:21:51 mod_Cuddlebaby I have a conglamorate and I'm not liking trying to find a cover to fit over the diaper that just happened to get picked....ugh.
19:22:14 mod_Cuddlebaby this is your first child?
19:22:16 TurboClaudia i'd like to use the fuzzibunz more, but his legs are so skinny that when he's active, his penis gets shifted around and he ends up peeing out the side of the diaper
19:22:30 TurboClaudia yes, our first
19:22:52 TurboClaudia (one of our cats still thinks otherwise, even over a year later... :S
19:22:59 TurboClaudia :s
19:23:30 mod_Cuddlebaby oh ugh!!
19:23:39 TurboClaudia what diapering system do you like best?
19:24:03 mod_Cuddlebaby kind of what you do...prefolds, I like to pin...and a really great cover...
19:24:09 mod_Cuddlebaby but I'm familiar with all of them....
19:24:14 mod_Cuddlebaby and have a bunch for this new baby....
19:24:24 mod_Cuddlebaby rarely pin on the new baby cuz I have so much other....
19:24:32 mod_Cuddlebaby but that's what happens with fourth babies.....:)
19:25:00 mod_Cuddlebaby I also own Cuddlbaby.com and sew my own...and sell.....
19:25:01 TurboClaudia what covers do you like best?  i was a fan of the bummis super whisper wraps until we switched to premium sized prefolds and they are really wide for our covers and cause wicking
19:25:13 mod_Cuddlebaby Nappie Wraps by me  :)  to be quite honest.
19:25:36 TurboClaudia i assumer you have a website... are they on there?
19:25:45 mod_Cuddlebaby I've heard that Nappie Wraps are very similar to whisper wraps...
19:25:50 mod_Cuddlebaby cuddlebaby.com
19:26:12 mod_Cuddlebaby if you have a great cover, doesn't matter what you put under it....
19:26:53 mod_Cuddlebaby I'm eating pan fried zucchini and squash that's been breaded......oh yum!!!
19:27:44 mod_Cuddlebaby rereading your last pos (I know you are busy looking at my site, sorry to inundate you) but just make sure all his diaper is tucked into the cover?
19:28:27 mod_Cuddlebaby and do a really good tuck in the thighs with the prefold.
19:28:36 TurboClaudia yes, i make sure the diaper is all the way tucked into the cover
19:29:02 TurboClaudia we are only using medium bummis, but premium sized prefolds, and they are just wide when we fold them,
19:29:23 TurboClaudia so i started doing a bikini twist and that makes it narrower and we don't have the wicking problem much anymore
19:30:04 mod_Cuddlebaby do you like the bikini twist?
19:30:12 TurboClaudia hmmm... your Nappie Wraps look interesting.
19:30:19 mod_Cuddlebaby it's a good seller...
19:30:40 mod_Cuddlebaby I should just cut out the diapers....there are so many great diaper makers out there....
19:30:57 mod_Cuddlebaby I think the bikini twist would allow poop leakage.
19:31:20 TurboClaudia surprisingly, it catches the poop quite well
19:31:38 mod_Cuddlebaby How about I sell you a nappie wrap at a discount.....say for 7 dollars shipping included.
19:31:41 TurboClaudia i try and jelly roll the side of the back of the diaper, too, and that helps
19:31:46 TurboClaudia cool!
19:32:29 mod_Cuddlebaby email me what you want rebecca@cuddlebaby.com size and fabric print you like...
19:32:35 TurboClaudia the thing that concerns me most about the bikini twist is for his little unit and accessories... :)
19:32:45 mod_Cuddlebaby include turboclaudia so I recognize you  :)
19:32:49 mod_Cuddlebaby you have paypal?
19:32:57 TurboClaudia yes, i have a paypal account
19:33:09 mod_Cuddlebaby same email address there.
19:33:44 mod_Cuddlebaby you mean you think it hurts his penis?  Yeah I bet it wouldn't be too comfy.
19:34:20 TurboClaudia i'm not sure if it hurts him or is uncomfortable...
19:34:44 TurboClaudia he doesn't seem any more or less upset about having a diaper put on him
19:34:56 TurboClaudia since we started bikini twisting them
19:35:08 mod_Cuddlebaby great.
19:35:42 TurboClaudia thanks for the offer!
19:35:45 mod_Cuddlebaby are you planning any more children?
19:35:50 mod_Cuddlebaby you are welcomed.
19:36:10 mod_Cuddlebaby that way you can try them and see if you like them and if they work with your system  :)
19:36:10 TurboClaudia is it okay to choose any fabric, solid or print?  or should i just stick to the solids?
19:36:17 mod_Cuddlebaby any.
19:36:25 TurboClaudia wow.  thank you!
19:36:34 TurboClaudia we are planning on more children.
19:36:41 TurboClaudia haven't decided on how many yet.
19:36:49 mod_Cuddlebaby so the cloth diapering bug is just beginning!
19:36:59 TurboClaudia i;ve always thought about adopting, too.
19:37:10 mod_Cuddlebaby YOu are going to be an expert before you have baby number two  :)
19:37:14 mod_Cuddlebaby internationally?
19:37:27 TurboClaudia proabably internationally, yes.
19:38:03 TurboClaudia my parents are from eastern europe, and my partner has roots from there, too, so we have casually mentioned it to one another
19:38:21 TurboClaudia romania and bulgaria are very desperate right now
19:38:31 mod_Cuddlebaby ooh, a black haired baby!  I would LOVE one of those!
19:38:37 mod_Cuddlebaby yeah....
19:38:41 TurboClaudia yes, probably.
19:39:13 TurboClaudia this one is very light haired.  but then again, bill and i were both blonde until about age 3
19:39:38 mod_Cuddlebaby My 2 yo is VERY blond....
19:40:07 mod_Cuddlebaby and my 10 is dishwater, was strawberry as a baby...now he's curly...and my two daughters have dark hair.
19:40:31 mod_Cuddlebaby how old is yours again?
19:40:39 TurboClaudia well, this little person is now bouncing up and down on my lap and slapping at the keyboard and unhappy if i put him down, so i'd better go
19:40:45 TurboClaudia he's almost 14 months old
19:41:23 TurboClaudia thanks again for the offer!  i'll be in touch soon!
19:41:25 mod_Cuddlebaby I understand.
19:41:30 mod_Cuddlebaby thanks for coming!!
