19:57:47 |
skate777 |
i have a dumb question about cpfs |
|
19:58:10 |
skate777 |
are they supposed to be totally soaked and dripping
after a pee or does that mean they're not ready - need
to be washed more? |
|
19:58:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you made it!! |
|
19:58:21 |
skate777 |
yup! |
|
19:58:23 |
kaylasmama |
just ordering my cloth diapers tomorrow!!!! SO...I might
not be much help. |
|
19:58:32 |
kaylasmama |

|
19:58:39 |
skate777 |

|
19:58:48 |
kaylasmama |

|
19:58:50 |
kaylasmama |
thanks |
|
19:58:54 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
welcome everyone!! |
|
19:59:22 |
skate777 |
thanks, rebecca |
|
19:59:36 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
thats ok to be dripping---you are correct they made need
washed some more but they will be soon enough :) |
|
19:59:40 |
z2akids |
They should probably continue to get more absorbent for
what a dozen washes or so, but perhaps you ned to change
more? |
|
20:00:02 |
skate777 |
ok, so then maybe they're not the best choice for dd who
is very prone to diaper rash? |
|
20:00:04 |
kaylasmama |
How many times do you have to wash them before you use
them? |
|
20:00:12 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
<nodding> they will feel qwuite wet |
|
20:00:16 |
skate777 |
i've washed them about 6 times now |
|
20:00:41 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i only prewash them once |
|
20:01:00 |
kaylasmama |
Ok...thanks! I'm so excited to be making the
switch-finally! :) |
|
20:01:21 |
z2akids |
Hi kaylasmama. It is very exciting. How old is your
little one? |
|
20:01:58 |
kaylasmama |
Hi! I'm Jill, and Kayla is 13 1/2 months |
|
20:02:16 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
well her bladder's prett big :) |
|
20:02:27 |
skate777 |
I'm Kate and Gabrilele is 5.5 months |
|
20:03:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
my baby just turned 5 months and is nursing now |
|
20:03:03 |
z2akids |
I'm Jennifer and Alexander's 27 months (and working on
potty learning) and Abigail's 6 months |
|
20:03:25 |
z2akids |
Jill, may I ask what prompted you to switch after over a
year? |
|
20:04:04 |
kaylasmama |
sure...I used cloth for the first 3 months, but used a
service that was HORRIBLE |
|
20:04:18 |
skate777 |
Ok, not to be annoying asking over and over, but should
I give up on CPFs since dd is prone to diaper
rash/irritation when wet (even w/ a fleece liner)? |
|
20:05:18 |
z2akids |
How long has she been using them? |
|
20:05:19 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
hmmm maybe switch to pochets or fleece lined fitteds? |
|
20:05:26 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
pockets |
|
20:05:31 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
one handed |
|
20:05:42 |
kaylasmama |
then used seventh generation diapers since then. DH and
I are now on a VERY VERY teeeny weeny budget, and we
just can't afford the disposables...AND through MDC I
found a store online that sells cloth diapering packages
for a great price... |
|
20:05:45 |
z2akids |
Do you have anything else that works at all? |
|
20:06:10 |
z2akids |
Excellent Jill! Best of luck switching back! It's
addictive |
|
20:06:18 |
azaries_mama |
hi ladies. i guess i found ya. :) |
|
20:06:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
welcome azaries!! |
|
20:06:23 |
kaylasmama |
thanks. I never did want to use disposables |
|
20:06:25 |
kaylasmama |
;) |
|
20:06:31 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
glad you couyld make it! |
|
20:06:46 |
skate777 |
Yes, lots of AIOs and pockets, but I was hoping to use
CPFs when those are in the wash and as backup |
|
20:06:50 |
azaries_mama |
yay. diaper talk :) |
|
20:07:27 |
skate777 |
Fleece-lined dipes and Bum-Ware dipes are working great,
but the CPFs and Bumkins are causing major rashes |
|
20:07:28 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
as kaylas was saying cpfs do feel quite wet... |
|
20:08:12 |
azaries_mama |
yaeh, i use mostly cpf's bu i'm planning to start using
fleece liners as they do make dd's bum feel wet :( |
|
20:08:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i'll buy your prefolds :) or maybe we can work ooout a
trade or something---OR you could use them for inserts
in a pocket |
|
20:09:00 |
kaylasmama |
my little one needs me...need to go |
|
20:09:05 |
kaylasmama |
I'll be back next week! :) |
|
20:09:11 |
skate777 |
bye! |
|
20:09:13 |
azaries_mama |
but i love using the snappis and the covers. i guess
i'm wary of the pockets and the aios for blowouts.. |
|
20:09:26 |
skate777 |
Emily, which covers do you use? |
|
20:09:57 |
azaries_mama |
i use either pul loveybums covers or the bummis original
wrap |
|
20:10:12 |
azaries_mama |
i also just ordered a prowrap to try |
|
20:10:26 |
skate777 |
I have only used Bumkins so far |
|
20:10:47 |
skate777 |
Ok, another dumb question about wool soakers |
|
20:10:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
do you like bumkins? |
|
20:10:59 |
skate777 |
Do you use a CPF w/ these or a fitted? |
|
20:11:03 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh glad people are still here :) |
|
20:11:06 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
hey mandy!! |
|
20:11:07 |
mikesgirl64 |
i just got kiersten to sleep |
|
20:11:07 |
skate777 |
No, I don't really like Bumkins covers or AIOS |
|
20:11:07 |
z2akids |
bye |
|
20:11:09 |
mikesgirl64 |
hey |
|
20:11:21 |
skate777 |
hey mandy |
|
20:11:33 |
mikesgirl64 |
hey! |
|
20:11:35 |
azaries_mama |
i use mainly cpf's but also fitteds |
|
20:11:37 |
z2akids |
you can use either with wool |
|
20:11:45 |
azaries_mama |
hey mandy :) |
|
20:12:04 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
what jennifer said |
|
20:12:08 |
skate777 |
seem like a cpf w/ wool would be soaked and leaking? |
|
20:12:24 |
azaries_mama |
i also have two jersey wool covers that i like |
|
20:12:28 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i have a hemp prefold with an alpaca soaker onnnnn sarah
now |
|
20:12:38 |
mikesgirl64 |
i cant figure out how to fold them over in order to keep
poop from leaking out the sides of the legs |
|
20:12:46 |
mikesgirl64 |
it sucks bc then i have to wash my soaker all the time! |
|
20:12:48 |
skate777 |
so what happens to the wool when the cpf is totally
soaked |
|
20:13:02 |
z2akids |
Abby's in a Peewell fitted with Babology wool longies
right now |
|
20:13:07 |
skate777 |
mandy, do you use snappis? they're great. solved my cpf
blowout problems |
|
20:13:11 |
azaries_mama |
i use the tri fold with a snappi and it works great.
never had a blowout... yet |
|
20:13:19 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i know! its amazing that it isn't soaking! I'm still
dumbfounded |
|
20:13:46 |
z2akids |
The wool can absorb tons of liquid and not feel wet.
It's weird, but it does and it dries out quickly.
Doesn't smell, etc. |
|
20:14:01 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nodding |
|
20:14:03 |
azaries_mama |
my wool cover soaked thru once at night, but she was
very pee pee |
|
20:14:07 |
skate777 |
you don't have to wash wool even though it's absorbed
pee? |
|
20:14:23 |
z2akids |
I know that was hard to get over at first but you don't
have to |
|
20:14:24 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nope, not till it stinks |
|
20:14:35 |
azaries_mama |
speaking of wool.. where can i buy wool wash? i checked
target, etc... |
|
20:14:37 |
skate777 |
hmmm, maybe i'll try that next!! |
|
20:14:43 |
mikesgirl64 |
sorry reading cp board too ;) i do use the snappi, i
cant get the legs tight enough though |
|
20:14:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I lanolized mine when I got them over a month ago and
never done anything else to them! |
|
20:15:24 |
azaries_mama |
yeah the legs don't seem really tight but that's what
the cover's for |
|
20:15:29 |
mikesgirl64 |
and how do you get stains out of wool - can you sun it?
i have a little poo stain on one of the legs |
|
20:15:34 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I smell them all the time, thinking they hsould need it
soon but they haven't :) |
|
20:15:36 |
skate777 |
mandy, now that you mention it, the cpfs aren't tight on
dd's thighs either, but the bumkins covers are |
|
20:15:56 |
z2akids |
I sell wool wash ;) But, you might look at a fabric
store |
|
20:16:12 |
mikesgirl64 |
its so annoying to have to wash the wool covers so often
though - it happens pretty much everytime i use the wool
soaker |
|
20:16:16 |
azaries_mama |
ot... did i tell you guys we finally got a tooth? yay! |
|
20:16:20 |
skate777 |
so do you guys use wool just an night? Does it fit under
clothes? |
|
20:16:27 |
z2akids |
You can't sun the wool, but they have wool soap bars
that you can use to scrub out the stains. |
|
20:16:35 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh a tooth, congrats!! |
|
20:16:39 |
skate777 |
yay, toothie!!! |
|
20:16:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
congrats! |
|
20:16:49 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh i need to try that jennifer - do you sell those |
|
20:16:54 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
are you the second one to get a tooth? |
|
20:17:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
don't know about sunning a wool soaker... |
|
20:17:03 |
mikesgirl64 |
i am going to be ordering some more diapers soon now
that i have experience with what works well for her |
|
20:17:03 |
z2akids |
wow. I am dreading that. Like one last little escape
away from newborn |
