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 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:04:27 |
TurboClaudia |

|
19:04:49 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
welcome claudia! |
|
19:04:54 |
amysuen |
No, I don't sell or have a website. I dream of it, but
have no time. |
|
19:04:58 |
amysuen |
Welcome Claudia! |
|
19:05:07 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

19:05:43 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:05:44 |
TurboClaudia |

|
19:06:05 |
amysuen |
Sew so far, but am learning to knit. Again, no time. |
|
19:06:12 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
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 |
and just now exploring the wool world |
|
19:08:29 |
amysuen |
Do you have fun colors and everything? I love looking at
pretty pfs. |
|
19:08:34 |
TurboClaudia |
we just graduated to premium sized a month or so ago |
|
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..." |
|
19:22:45 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yup bash...exactly what I like about prefolds and really
great covers. |
|
19:22:47 |
bashthebalrog |
i had a plump baby and then a skinny one |
|
19:23:04 |
bashthebalrog |
no, not snap -- velcro |
|
19:23:13 |
TurboClaudia |
ahh... |
|
19:23:20 |
amysuen |
Are IV and Bios wool? (I missed that) How stretchy? |
|
19:23:27 |
bashthebalrog |
Biobottoms brand Rainbow Classic |
|
19:23:33 |
bashthebalrog |
wool cover |
|
19:23:33 |
TurboClaudia |
that would probably work better for us with the skinny
legs... |
|
19:24:08 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
claudia, I made a note of your skinny baby :) |
|
19:24:23 |
bashthebalrog |
Imse Vimse brand Bumpys -- also a wool cover. same as
biobottoms but don't last as well |
|
19:24:32 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
if I weren't a tiny bit behind on orders I'd offer you
all a Nappie Wrap... |
|
19:24:44 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
hey, just keep coming back and maybe I will have
something to give out :) |
|
19:24:51 |
amysuen |
How nice! |
|
19:24:57 |
TurboClaudia |
thanks, r. :) |
|
19:25:09 |
amysuen |
I have 3 wool covers but 2 I made so I don't know how
they compare... |
|
19:25:22 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I love making the covers too, such fun prints! |
|
19:25:24 |
bashthebalrog |
oops, am i taking your business? |
|
19:25:25 |
amysuen |
Do your covers have ruffles" or are the legs T&T?" |
|
19:25:38 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
amy, I used to have that problem. |
|
19:25:47 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I only made everything my first two used... |
|
19:26:00 |
amysuen |
My business? I just make for our use. |
|
19:26:19 |
bashthebalrog |
never mind, sorry |
|
19:26:22 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
elastic legs, no ruffle, very adjustable... |
|
19:26:28 |
amysuen |
I make most because I can't afford to buy... and I love
to sew! |
|
19:26:28 |
bashthebalrog |

bashthebalrog |

|
19:27:13 |
amysuen |
I made mine from the cuddlebuns pattern and didn't like
the ruffles under clothes. |
|
19:27:21 |

Hey, have any of you used Downy Advanced? I hear it's
being discontinued and I'm debating buying up all I can
find. I haven't tried it yet |
|
19:33:38 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
bash i sent you a private note |
|
19:33:56 |
amysuen |
I love DA so I hope it's not going to be discontinued! |
|
19:34:11 |
z2akids |
Amy - I read that on a couple of threads at Diaperpin |
|
19:34:19 |
z2akids |
Do you use it on your dipes? |
|
19:34:25 |
z2akids |
Any problems with fleece? |
|
19:34:26 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
never even heard of it |
|
19:34:29 |
amysuen |
Bummer. I use it on dipes and towels. |
|
19:34:44 |
z2akids |
Rebecca - it's a fabric softener that doesn't coat your
fabrics |
|
19:34:49 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
is it a fab softener? |
|
19:34:52 |
TurboClaudia |
sorry... antsy whiny babe... |
|
19:34:53 |
bashthebalrog |
cuddlebaby -- um, how do I see that? |
|
19:34:58 |
amysuen |
Just 2x a month for dipes, every wash for towels |
|
19:35:03 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
if it is it will decrease absorbency |
|
19:35:05 |
z2akids |
so it is supposed to work on dipes and towels. |
|
19:35:17 |
amysuen |
Doesn't coat the fibers and affect absorbancy |
|
19:35:24 |
z2akids |
I've been reading really great things about it - a
little scared to try though |
|
19:35:34 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
oh11 |
|
19:35:37 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
!! |
|
19:35:39 |
amysuen |
I was too, but so far so good! :) It smells strong
though. |
|
19:35:45 |
z2akids |
I hear it has a strong smell - lol |
|
19:35:46 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
why being dicson? |
|
19:35:53 |
amysuen |
??? |
|
19:35:54 |
bashthebalrog |
ever tried plain old white vinegar as a fabric softener?
removes urine odors too |
|
19:35:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
discontinued |
|
19:36:05 |
z2akids |
Not selling well. It's like $4.99 a bottle |
|
19:36:19 |
amysuen |
I've always used vinegar, still do when I'm not using
DA. The DA makes them softer. |
|
19:36:20 |
z2akids |
But, that should give us 70 diaper loads |
|
19:36:39 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
sounds neat |
|
19:36:57 |
amysuen |
It's expensive, but I only use 1/3-1/2 the reg amount
for both dipes and towels. It lasts forever! (Maybe
that's why it's not selling well LOL) |
|
19:37:09 |
z2akids |
Okay Amy (it is Amy I hope) you've convinced me. I'm
gonna get some. I just won a couple of auctions for

bashthebalrog |

|
19:37:36 |
amysuen |
Yup, Amy :) It worked on a crispy hemp I got used. |
|
19:37:43 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
wow |
|
19:38:30 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:38:47 |
TurboClaudia |
our son is 14 months. and then we have 2 cats, one who
still thinks he's the baby. |
|
19:38:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
have to shift the baby around... |
|
19:39:03 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
:) |
|
19:39:07 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
14 months is great age. |
|
19:39:12 |
TurboClaudia |
i'm not nak-ing. newly walking boy is too busy to nurse
during the day most times. |
|
19:39:23 |
amysuen |
LOL We have 3 cats, 4 hermit crabs, a fishtank and a
hamster. Whatta zoo! |
|
19:39:30 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
you can interact with them, everything's still new to
them...and they can't talk back (ha!) |
|
19:39:49 |
amysuen |
Me too Claudia. :( Except the walking part, DS is just
busy-busy |
|
19:39:54 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
animals are great :) |
|
19:39:54 |
TurboClaudia |
i'm excited about the talking back, though. i like kids
who can communicate. |
|
19:40:09 |
amysuen |
We've started signing... not to go way OT! |
|
19:40:28 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, it's so special. I think every stage is special. |
|
19:40:33 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
it just goes very quickly. |
|
19:40:44 |
amysuen |
Me too :heart: |
|
19:40:45 |
TurboClaudia |
our cats are great, but our older one is lazy and vocal
about not wanting to be touched and of course, our son
wants nothing else but to touch him. |
|
19:41:00 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
My 2 1/2 yo still l oves to sign. |
|
19:41:08 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
they pick up on it SO quicklyl! |
|
19:41:23 |
amysuen |
We're working on change" right now. I should figure out
the sign for "fluff" LOL" |
|
19:41:24 |
z2akids |
Awww, I'm already ready for #4 - I miss that newborn
stage |
|
19:41:30 |
TurboClaudia |
i have 4 friends awaiting the births of their babes
right now (actually one just had hers last thurs) and
it's amazing to think back to this time last year |
|
19:41:35 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
And if they have trouble conveying something to you
(orally) they will automatically think of a sign...it's
pretty amazing to watch. |
|
19:41:47 |
z2akids |
Although I love every new stage that comes along - so
far anyway |
|
19:41:48 |
TurboClaudia |
and i jsut saw my other friend who has a 1.5 month old |
|
19:41:56 |
amysuen |
No kidding! Did any of you CD from birth? |
|
19:41:57 |
bashthebalrog |
I miss newborns! |
|
19:42:05 |
bashthebalrog |
Yes, we cd'd from birth |
|
19:42:13 |
TurboClaudia |
we did. |
|
19:42:16 |
amysuen |
I CD'd my 5, but not until 2 mos or so. |
|
19:42:37 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
of course :) |
|
19:42:37 |
z2akids |
also started around 6 weeks - 2 months |
|
19:42:57 |
TurboClaudia |
we've even cd'ed on trips, except for a recent trip to
las vegas for 5 days. i was in meetings all day sat and
sun and couldn't be bothered looking for a laundromat |
|
19:43:06 |
amysuen |
Wow, that's SO cool! If we have a #6 I'd like to try. I
didn't know about all the options until this past Jan. |
|
19:43:11 |
z2akids |
Never got around to building a newborn stash |
|
19:43:16 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
in the beginning when there's meconium, I'd advice
fleece liner so the mec doesn't stain your expensive
diapers :) |
|
19:43:29 |
bashthebalrog |
Got to go -- 4yo is having trouble getting to sleep,
needs drinks and cuddles in her bed |
|
19:43:32 |
bashthebalrog |
Bye |
|
19:43:35 |
amysuen |
I think a NB stash would be hard because you don't know
what size your NB will be. |
|
19:43:37 |
z2akids |
bye |
|
19:43:39 |
amysuen |
Bye! |
|
19:43:51 |
TurboClaudia |
i just used preemie prefolds for the first couple of
weeks and a few kissaluvs size 0s, and then we switched
to regular infant size prefolds after that. |
|
19:44:02 |
z2akids |
And they outgrow so quickly - I couldn;t justify cost |
|
19:44:12 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
nice chatting with you bash! |
|
19:44:21 |
TurboClaudia |
and make sure you oil the newborn's butt so the meconium
doens't stick |
|
19:44:23 |
TurboClaudia |
:) |
|
19:44:31 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I agree amy...very tough. |
|
19:44:58 |
amysuen |
I just thought nbs are so floppy" and the only covers I
knew about when my dc were nbs were Diaperaps. They're
kind of stiff so I didn't want them on my nb." |
|
19:45:01 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I do that too, the olive oil is the ONE must have for
the changing table. |
|
19:45:37 |
amysuen |
NOW I know better! :) |
|
19:45:55 |
TurboClaudia |
covers with umbilical cutouts for newborns: diaperaps,
proraps, green earth |
|
19:46:05 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
and I agree with pp about just using prefolds in the
beginning if money is scarce :) |
|
19:46:11 |
TurboClaudia |
they are all PUL covers, though |
|
19:46:24 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I even make a snap down for the umb cord on my
diapers.... |
|
19:46:34 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
which I think I will be discontinuing.... |
|
19:46:41 |
z2akids |
ooh, I'll have to keep an eye on that for next time |
|
19:46:43 |
amysuen |
Now that I know I'll make my own. |
|
19:46:50 |
amysuen |
Why discontinue? |
|
19:46:59 |
TurboClaudia |
cool |
|
19:47:01 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I'm going to cut down to just covers (Nappie Wraps) so
keep coming here as I sew up my fabrics, I can just sell
here (easier than ebay) |
|
19:47:26 |
amysuen |
:)] |
|
19:47:36 |
amysuen |
oops! I meant :) |
|
19:47:48 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
diapers are more labor intensive, require lots of
different types of fabrics (just to make one diaper).... |
|
19:47:53 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
my covers sell better.... |
|
19:48:05 |
z2akids |
have you considered a retailer? ;) |
|
19:48:07 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
other wahms make awesome diapers, not as many make
covers. |
|
19:48:16 |
z2akids |
That's really true. |
|
19:48:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
uh, okay Jennifer! |
|
19:48:22 |
amysuen |
Good point! |
|
19:48:34 |
TurboClaudia |
i was wondering if it's possible to make diapers from
reclaimed materials, like t-shirts, old towels, old
sweatshirts, etc. |
|
19:48:35 |
z2akids |
Okay, now I need to buy one to try out. :) |
|
19:48:39 |
amysuen |
But I love sewing diapers. |
|
19:48:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
claudia, of course! |
|
19:49:00 |
amysuen |
Yes! Fern and Faerie has info on how to do it. |
|
19:49:08 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
one of my first diapers was my hubby's old tshirt, baby
ended up with a chevy emblem on the butt! |
|
19:49:14 |
amysuen |
LOL |
|
19:49:14 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
that's the best way to do it ! |
|
19:49:23 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
old towels for the absorbent part... |
|
19:49:45 |
amysuen |
I made a few when I was figuring out what to do and they
were awful, I wish I had used plain Ts instead of cute
ones. Oh well... |
|
19:49:59 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, well live and learn :) |
|
19:50:06 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I said those exact words a BUNCH of times! |
|
19:50:08 |
onthebrink |
hi all |
|
19:50:09 |
amysuen |
Hi onthebrink! |
|
19:50:14 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
oh hello onthe!! |
|
19:50:19 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:50:22 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |

|
19:50:34 |
onthebrink |

|
19:50:37 |
TurboClaudia |

|
19:50:41 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
were you one that was (also) wanting to sew your own
diapers? |
|
19:50:52 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
what's fern and faerie? |
|
19:51:04 |
amysuen |
There are lots of sites out there, and a Diaper Making
board at MDC. |
|
19:51:08 |
TurboClaudia |
www.fernandfaerie.com |
|
19:51:16 |
amysuen |
Ooh, you're fast! :) |
|
19:51:27 |
TurboClaudia |
the diapering board at mdc overwhelms me... |
|
19:51:33 |
TurboClaudia |
and there are too many hyenas there |
|
19:51:46 |
amysuen |
Diaper Making is seperate. It moves slower. |
|
19:51:53 |
TurboClaudia |
i'm of the frugal diapering variety. :) |
|
19:52:11 |
amysuen |
I'm frugal too, but I have a few FM. |
|
19:52:13 |
onthebrink |
did i miss any good chat? |
|
19:52:17 |
mod_Cuddlebaby |
I'm going to leave and come back under another name,
carry on :) |
|
19:52:29 |
amysuen |
It's fluff so it's all good! LOL |
|
19:52:41 |
onthebrink |
:) |
|
19:52:46 |
amysuen |
What system do you use onthe? |
|
19:52:54 |
z2akids |
I love it all. |
|
19:53:02 |
onthebrink |
fuzzibunz - love them! |
|
19:53:03 |
amysuen |
:heart: |
|
19:53:13 |
onthebrink |
what about you all? |
|
19:53:25 |
TurboClaudia |
we were talking about fuzzibunz earlier. |
|
19:53:32 |
onthebrink |
yeah? |
|
19:53:34 |
amysuen |
Mostly fitteds and wool covers, some AIOs, mostly PUL. |
|
19:53:39 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
finally figured it out :) |
|
19:53:42 |
z2akids |
I misswed that part |
|
19:53:44 |
amysuen |
I've never tried FB. |
|
19:53:46 |
TurboClaudia |
do you have any peeing out the leg problems or are your
babes chunky-thighed? |
|
19:53:58 |
onthebrink |
with my 1st, i use fitteds with bummis siww |
|
19:54:12 |
onthebrink |
i have chunky kids |
|
19:54:24 |
TurboClaudia |
ahh... |
|
19:54:25 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I love those recycled diapers! |
|
19:54:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
way cool. |
|
19:54:32 |
amysuen |
I have 1 bummis but I don't like the plastic-y feel.
Maybe it's not a siww? |
|
19:54:50 |
onthebrink |
i prefer proraps to bummis now |
|
19:54:58 |
z2akids |
I used, FB, HH, wonderoos (a little), CPF w/mostly Bumpy
covers - day, and wool and also Bum-Ware AIO |
|
19:55:11 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you have an assortment! |
|
19:55:13 |
onthebrink |
never liked wonderoos or HH |
|
19:55:27 |
amysuen |
I like my 1 wonderoo and my 1 HH. Why don't you like
them? |
|
19:55:34 |
onthebrink |
i did prefolds and snuggleups on my newborns |
|
19:55:38 |
z2akids |
They're both fine but not for night for us |
|
19:55:50 |
onthebrink |
just not a great fit, i guess |
|
19:56:00 |
amysuen |
pfs and snuggleups sounds soft and cushy! |
|
19:56:03 |
z2akids |
HH prints wick |
|
19:56:24 |
amysuen |
I've heard that, but not experienced it... yet |
|
19:56:26 |
onthebrink |
I think diapers are like jeans. it doesn't matter how
cute they are or how well they are made. if they don't
fit, they aren't worth a thing! |
|
19:56:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
eventhough I've had four kids and sew diapers for a
living (ha!) I'm learning tons from you all! |
|
19:56:28 |
z2akids |
anyone tried the imse vimse soft cover yet? |
|
19:56:31 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
very interesting! |
|
19:56:32 |
onthebrink |
yes, the HH wick a lot! |
|
19:56:52 |
amysuen |
No imse vimse here |
|
19:57:03 |
onthebrink |
i loved snuggleups on little tiny ones |
|
19:57:03 |
z2akids |
oooh, I love theirs :) |
|
19:57:28 |
TurboClaudia |
i had an opportunity to buy some HHs secondhand from a
mama whose daughter potty trained, but the prints and
colors were all really girly so i chose not to... maybe
that was a good thing. |
|
19:57:42 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I'll put up the end chat thing in about 3 minutes, but
don't feel you have to leave, there's no one scheduled
next, stay as long as you wish. |
|
19:58:01 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
sounds like that was a good choice claudia |
|
19:58:03 |
onthebrink |
i got lots of kissaluvs, but they weren't absorbent
enough. plus, they were too small from day 1 |
|
19:58:11 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you all mean heavenly hineys right? |
|
19:58:21 |
amysuen |
Happy Heinys |
|
19:58:26 |
amysuen |
LOL |
|
19:58:49 |
amysuen |
I have 1 zebra print one. I collect zebras so I have to
get zebra fluff! |
|
19:59:08 |
onthebrink |
no, i was thinking heavenly hineys as well! |
|
19:59:19 |
TurboClaudia |
yeah, i noticed kissaluvs were good for breastfed poop
but not so good for wetting. |
|
19:59:28 |
z2akids |
I don't know heavenly heiny's |
|
19:59:34 |
amysuen |
Hmmm, never heard of heavenly hineys, but I'm no hyena. |
|
19:59:49 |
amysuen |
I've heard that about the kissaluvs. |
