mod_Cuddlebaby |
nursing |
|
19:04:05 |
amysuen |
Um... I like them all :) Right now it's mostly fitteds
and wool because I make my own and it's easier to make
fitteds than PUL AIOs. |
|
19:04:27 |
amysuen |
Oh, I don't like pfs, I'm folding impaired. LOL |
|
19:04:27 |

|
19:06:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
and pinning and rubber pants on my 8 siblings |
|
19:06:33 |
amysuen |
I used pfs, pins and Gerber plastic pants with DS1 who's
now 17. Never again! |
|
19:07:11 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah and thats whaat people think of when you tell yhem
ou are using cloth |
|
19:07:35 |
amysuen |
Yeah, not that I have anything against pfs, I admire
people who can fold them. |
|
19:07:38 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
they dont realize other than wasdhing that its just as
easy as disp |
|
19:07:39 |
TurboClaudia |
the majority of our cloth diaper collection is CPFs |
|
19:08:01 |
amysuen |
Then I admire you! |
|
19:08:06 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
i'm partial to prefolds |
|
19:08:21 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:08:29 |
amysuen |
Do you have fun colors and everything? I love looking at
pretty pfs. |
|
19:08:34 |
TurboClaudia |

|
19:08:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
welcome to bash! |
|
19:08:59 |
amysuen |
I'm pretty new to wool too, but I really like it. |
|
19:09:17 |
bashthebalrog |
Hi, just visiting -- my kids are OUT of dipes finally! |
|
19:09:22 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
my mom just crocjeted some alpaca and wool covers |
|
19:09:23 |
TurboClaudia |
no fun colors. just unbleached with white/natural
serging |
|
19:09:36 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
haven't gotten them yet though |
|
19:09:48 |
amysuen |
Hi bash! |
|
19:09:56 |
TurboClaudia |
just bought a secondhand wool cover from a friend of
mine, and i love it. |
|
19:10:02 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
ive made a few hemp prefolds-- |
|
19:10:07 |
bashthebalrog |
I love love love wool covers. |
|
19:10:10 |
TurboClaudia |
hi bash! |
|
19:10:11 |
amysuen |
My mom doesn't crochet, but my mil does. She made a
soaker that didn't fit. |
|
19:10:25 |
amysuen |
LOL |
|
19:10:30 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
:( |
|
19:10:55 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
bash you used wool covers? (soakers) |
|
19:11:34 |
bashthebalrog |
I used flannel prefolds and mostly wool covers
(Biobottoms and Imse Vimse). |
|
19:11:53 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
btw the transcripts of this chat will be posted on
Sunday so keep that in mind. |
|
19:12:00 |
bashthebalrog |
Biobottoms wool covers are the best ever. |
|
19:12:09 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
did you pin? |
|
19:12:15 |
bashthebalrog |
Nope, no pins |
|
19:12:15 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
flannel is hard to pin through. |
|
19:12:31 |
amysuen |
I didn't know they posted the transcripts. Is that new? |
|
19:12:41 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
not really. |
|
19:12:45 |
amysuen |
Bash, did you snappi then or just trifold? |
|
19:12:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
She's done it for a while. |
|
19:12:59 |
bashthebalrog |
Just folded! |
|
19:13:00 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
so you can see what you missed huh? |
|
19:13:13 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
or in case there's a url or some information you
couldn't get written down... |
|
19:13:23 |
bashthebalrog |
So that's why I used the close-fitting covers |
|
19:13:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I've read the Jay Gordon chat...very good! |
|
19:13:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
educational. |
|
19:13:33 |
amysuen |
Cool! I used to use lay-in contours and it was SO easy! |
|
19:13:59 |
TurboClaudia |
we snappi |
|
19:14:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that does sound easy. |
|
19:14:14 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
the prefold didn't shift on you? |
|
19:14:16 |
amysuen |
Snappis look complicated |
|
19:14:23 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I'd think it wouldn't hold poop well.... |
|
19:14:26 |
TurboClaudia |
nah, very easy |
|
19:14:28 |
bashthebalrog |
My new favorite contours are Motherease. They fit all
ages (one size dipe) and the covers stay clean almost
always, so you can have just 2 covers per size |
|
19:14:43 |
amysuen |
My contours shifted and leaked poo. I like fitteds
better. |
|
19:15:03 |
amysuen |
I haven't tried ME though, I have too many Rainbows! LOL |
|
19:15:07 |
bashthebalrog |
Mmm, maybe Motherease are fitted. Sorry, poor
terminology use |
|
19:15:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I've seen both of those.... |
|
19:15:41 |
amysuen |
And how do they compare? |
|
19:15:47 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
me has a bit too much poly in it for my likes...but the
huge advantage is that they last through more than one
kid! |
|
19:16:02 |
amysuen |
(Washing DS after dinner, be right back) |
|
19:16:16 |
bashthebalrog |
My motherease say 100% cotton...? |
|
19:16:21 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
If you do like bash did (get a VERY well fitting cover)
then a contour would be okay... |
|
19:16:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
other than that I don't get contours :) |
|
19:16:38 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
really? |
|
19:16:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
maybe they changed then. |
|
19:17:00 |
bashthebalrog |
yeah... they are terry. Maybe the leg trim has poly? |
|
19:17:04 |
TurboClaudia |
any of you use fuzzibunz? |
|
19:17:15 |
TurboClaudia |
stuffed with a prefold, not a joeybunz? |
|
19:17:20 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
i have...not too impressed |
|
19:17:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
lots of people just LOVE them though. |
|
19:17:59 |
amysuen |
I'm back :) No FB but I have a Wonderoo |
|
19:18:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
fuzzi bunz are very popular... |
|
19:18:17 |
amysuen |
I've heard lots of good things about them... |
|
19:18:21 |
TurboClaudia |
i own 3 of them, all them secondhand and the old style
with round tabs not pointy tabs. |
|
19:18:23 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I think I'd like a hemp or joey or something inside, I
had prefolds in mine. |
|
19:18:33 |
amysuen |
but I don't like the pointy tabs. Call me picky! LOL |
|
19:18:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
were there any other changes? |
|
19:19:04 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
baby fat would come over the diaper and get poked! |
|
19:19:07 |
TurboClaudia |
and one of them my skinny legged toddler just pees out
the side of. |
|
19:19:17 |
amysuen |
I've heard about different types of fleece inside, some
thicker than others |
|
19:19:40 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah I heard that too. |
|
19:19:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
and they legs do have to fit perfectly, as it IS a cover
too. |
|
19:20:06 |
TurboClaudia |
it's medium and i have it on the smallest leg snap, but
it's still gappy so he gets *shifted* inside the dipe,
and then the pee just drips out the side instead of
being wicked up by the prefold |
|
19:20:10 |
amysuen |
I wouldn't know about skinny legs, DS's are 13 ! :omg:" |
|
19:20:30 |
TurboClaudia |
how old is he? ours is 14 mos |
|
19:20:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
healthy baby! |
|
19:20:40 |
TurboClaudia |
and his legs are 9ish"
08/10/05" |
|
19:20:58 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
you might try it again in a month or so after he's grown
a bit. |
|
19:21:24 |
amysuen |
I think it's fascinating how the same diaper fits
differently on different babies. |
|
19:21:45 |
amysuen |
Not like pants or something that fit most body shapes. |
|
19:22:03 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that fascinates me too. |
|
19:22:15 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
kind of tough for a pg mom to know what size to have on
hand.... |
|
19:22:24 |
bashthebalrog |
That's what i like about biobottoms and imse vimse
bumpies -- they adjust infinitely to fit perfectly |
|
19:22:27 |
TurboClaudia |
yeah, we had the same problem with the other two as well
so we weren't using them at all, but then he had a
growth spurt and now those two are fitting better |
|
19:22:40 |
TurboClaudia |
are they snap covers? |
|
19:22:45 |
amysuen |
And what brand" or style..." |
