hi, am I in cloth diapering? |
|
19:56:54 |
kaylasmama |
hi... |
|
19:57:04 |
kaylasmama |
I believe this is the place! |
|
19:57:11 |
kaylasmama |
just logged in myself. |
|
19:57:19 |
skate777 |
good! ok guess i haven't missed much |
|
19:57:37 |
kaylasmama |
lol |
|
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 |
what is cpfs |
|
19:58:39 |
skate777 |
chinese pre-folds |
|
19:58:42 |
z2akids |
Hi there |
|
19:58:47 |
skate777 |
hi jennifer! |
|
19:58:48 |
kaylasmama |
ah...hehehe |
|
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 |
|
20:17:10 |
azaries_mama |
ok a fabric store. or i'll order it from ya if i don't
make it there, like joanne's or something, right? |
|
20:17:15 |
z2akids |
Mandy - yeah - It's the Imse Vimse wool wash or
something |
|
20:17:23 |
mikesgirl64 |
i think leila got one too? or was that my imagination? |
|
20:17:23 |
z2akids |
Yeah |
|
20:17:37 |
azaries_mama |
yeah she did |
|
20:17:39 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I (ashamedly) left poop on a soaker for a few days, took
the bathroom and toothbrushed it all off no problem!
I'm still amazed as you all can tell by all the gushing
:) |
|
20:18:14 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh and my alpaca soakers are very thin, fit well under
clothes. |
|
20:18:26 |
z2akids |
your aplaca??? You make them? |
|
20:18:33 |
azaries_mama |
so another question. what wahm sites are your fave dipe
sites? |
|
20:19:09 |
z2akids |
I'm going wild over fitteds at the moment so -
Cuddlebaby, Peewell |
|
20:19:10 |
azaries_mama |
i want to get some pockets and i prefer to buy from a
wahm rather than a bigger company. i also prefer
aplix.. |
|
20:19:20 |
skate777 |
gottta go. baby's up. thanks for all the info!!! |
|
20:19:27 |
azaries_mama |
bye!! |
|
20:19:28 |
z2akids |
Oh, I just placed a big order for GAD pockets
www.greenacredesigns. |
|
20:19:31 |
z2akids |
Bye |
|
20:19:35 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
peewell, what a funny name. |
|
20:19:35 |
mikesgirl64 |
ew ew ew my dogs were just eating a bird in our
yard!!!!! |
|
20:19:39 |
mikesgirl64 |
i am so grossed out! |
|
20:19:43 |
z2akids |
They are WAHM made - excellent reviewed pockets. |
|
20:19:45 |
z2akids |
grosed out? |
|
20:20:06 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
my mom crochets them, I have to get her some more yarn
though, none now yet sorry. Ihave some inquiries in at
a few alpaca farms... |
|
20:20:07 |
azaries_mama |
i'll check them out. anyone used drybees? |
|
20:20:07 |
mikesgirl64 |
read up a few lines |
|
20:20:08 |
z2akids |
We love ours. They're a trimmer fit than FBs |
|
20:20:12 |
mikesgirl64 |
sorry way ot! |
|
20:20:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
jennifer, fitteds? really? all those pockets and you
are liking fitteds? |
|
20:21:09 |
z2akids |
LOL. I don't use the pockets all that often. I like
the ones I sell well enough, and I used to use FB
exclusively at night. |
|
20:21:23 |
azaries_mama |
mandy what's gross? |
|
20:21:30 |
z2akids |
But, when we're home I definitely prefer fitteds |
|
20:21:36 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
and you are not using them now jennifer? |
|
20:21:44 |
z2akids |
I cannot tell you how much I LOVE the Cuddlebaby |
|
20:21:45 |
mikesgirl64 |
my dogs were just eating a bird in my yard |
|
20:21:54 |
azaries_mama |
ewww |
|
20:21:59 |
mikesgirl64 |
i love my cuddlebaby covers so much they are awesome |
|
20:22:00 |
z2akids |
I am pretty much exclusively using wool and fitteds at
night |
|
20:22:10 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I finally found my fuzzibunz (size S, she's quickly
outgrowing them already) and I must say I love them,
especially wiht my hemp doublers in them instead of
prefolds. |
|
20:22:17 |
mikesgirl64 |
i dont want them to come near me bc i feel like they
have bird guts on their mouths i sent them downstairs to
mike |
|
20:22:44 |
z2akids |
They're easy and Abigail wears her GAD pockets out a
lot, but at night I'm really feeling the fitted/wool
love |
|
20:22:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you are just saying that cuz I am here :) hanks. |
|
20:22:51 |
mikesgirl64 |
i need to get some more liners |
|
20:22:58 |
azaries_mama |
so fuzzi bunz are really great huh? maybe i should try
them. i just have an aversion to snaps.. |
|
20:23:00 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha no i love how well they cover the fitteds! |
|
20:23:19 |
z2akids |
Actuall no. Alexander alternates between the Cuddlebaby
one night and a PW the next |
|
20:23:20 |
mikesgirl64 |
my other cover isn't big enough and i like the whole pf
to be covered up |
|
20:23:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
me too jennifer on the fitted/wool love :) |
|
20:23:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh and pinned prefolds with soakers. |
|
20:24:06 |
azaries_mama |
yeah i'm doing the loveybum fitted with hemp doubler and
wool cover for nights too |
|
20:24:08 |
z2akids |
I just bought the dandelion daydreams pattern and I'm
making my very first pair of longies. I really want to
try a sewn longie too |
|
20:24:17 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, my covers cover lots! ha. |
|
20:24:21 |
z2akids |
ooh, loveybum stocked today |
|
20:24:22 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh here come sd chick! |
|
20:24:35 |
mikesgirl64 |
i am alternating at night but ive noticed that if she
doesnt have a fleece liner she wakes up bc she is damp
:( |
|
20:24:38 |
z2akids |
:) The CP chat |
|
20:24:46 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha yay :) |

|
20:25:49 |
sdchick |
Ok, I'm so confused! I'm not a chatter usually! |
|
20:25:59 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you made it just fine :) |
|
20:26:13 |
azaries_mama |
yeah i was surprised at how many cd girls there were on
bbc too |
|
20:26:24 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
jennifer, I just read where you bought a pattern for a
longie? really? you are a knitter right? |
|
20:26:24 |
mikesgirl64 |
its great :) i am so addicted |
|
20:26:35 |
mikesgirl64 |
my poor hubby thinks im nuts! |
|
20:26:41 |
azaries_mama |
i like tara. she seems sorta ap.. |
|
20:26:47 |
z2akids |
Crocheter actually |
|
20:26:54 |
mikesgirl64 |
those longies you have on your site are really cute
jennifer - how warm do you think they are |
|
20:27:04 |
z2akids |
OMG they are SO soft |
|
20:27:14 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
there are worse things to be nuts over :) |
|
20:27:21 |
azaries_mama |
longies would be funny in az. she could wear them for
like a week |
|
20:27:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
what arey ou crocheting with? |
|
20:27:33 |
mikesgirl64 |
good point rebecca |
|
20:27:37 |
z2akids |
Pretty warm. They're thin, but tightly knit |
|
20:27:38 |
azaries_mama |
but i'd love wool shorts |
|
20:27:44 |
sdchick |
Do the longies work well? All the soakers I've seen
don't look all that leak proof. |
|
20:27:48 |
z2akids |
I'm using wool yarn from knitpics.com |
|
20:28:08 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I was just there, drooling over their alpaca mixes |
|
20:28:12 |
z2akids |
Meredith - the wool absorbs tons of liquid. |
|
20:28:13 |
mikesgirl64 |
my wool soaker from babyology really holds pee well - if
i could just get the poop to stop coming out the legs of
the pf i'd be so happy with them |
|
20:28:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you may have to learn to pin mandy :) |
|
20:28:32 |
sdchick |
I'm not very good with pf's yet. |
|
20:28:32 |
z2akids |
Mandy - pick up a fitted or two from Rebecca |
|
20:28:42 |
azaries_mama |
so are babyology ones great? how bout from bj
marketplace? |
|
20:29:08 |
mikesgirl64 |
i have a few jennifer :) those work, i guess i should
just give up on the pf |
|
20:29:14 |
azaries_mama |
i'm scared of pins, but snappis work great for me. |
|
20:29:15 |
mikesgirl64 |
i dont know if i will ever be able to do it! |
|
20:29:32 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
so whats the url for peewells or whatever thta was you
were talking about. |
|
20:29:35 |
mikesgirl64 |
yea thats what im thinking rebecaa im scared of them
though |
|
20:29:38 |
sdchick |
I tried that twist in the crotch and it was bad news. |
|
20:29:44 |
z2akids |
www.hyenacart.com go to the stocking page |

mikesgirl64 |
do your pf leak out the leg meredit |
|
20:30:03 |
z2akids |
Literally her in stock stuff gets sold in under 10
minutes. |
|
20:30:08 |
mikesgirl64 |
i gave up on the twist in the crotch, i could never get
it to work |
|
20:30:14 |
sdchick |
Yeah, and everytime I use them Kate poops! |
|
20:30:19 |
azaries_mama |
yeah the twist didn't work for us either. she 's got
too much junk in the trunk i think ;) |
|
20:30:26 |
mikesgirl64 |
me too - same with kiersten! |
|
20:30:33 |
mikesgirl64 |
poor big booty gals ;) |
|
20:30:35 |
sdchick |
The twist looked like a little sumo thong! |
|
20:30:36 |
z2akids |
Mandy - do you fold it down some in length so that the
rise is shorter? |
|
20:30:59 |
mikesgirl64 |
no i tried that but then i didnt feel like it was wide
enough to get the snappi on without worrying about
getting her |
|
20:31:12 |
azaries_mama |
i second the sumo thong.. :D |
|
20:31:35 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha |
|
20:31:38 |
z2akids |
That may be part of the problem. I would fold it down
and then you can cheat it a little wider to get the
snappi on |
|
20:31:51 |
azaries_mama |
hmmm. i fold down the front in not out and fan it a
little |
|
20:32:14 |
mikesgirl64 |
ok so fold which part of it down...i need pictures haha |
|
20:32:42 |
azaries_mama |
like in towards her belly |
|
20:32:55 |
azaries_mama |
i could try pics but she is so wiggly! |
|
20:32:55 |
z2akids |
Rebecca - sent you an e-mail - let me know if you don't
get it. |
|
20:33:07 |
sdchick |
i also can't get used to the bulk of the prefolds. i'm
spoiled. |
|
20:33:30 |
azaries_mama |
i guess they're bulky but with my covers they still fit
under onesies |
|
20:33:47 |
mikesgirl64 |
i definitely couldnt do pf out and about meredith i need
trimness to fit under her cute outfits |
|
20:33:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah they are bulky... |
|
20:33:57 |
azaries_mama |
the bummis super whisper wrap is way bulier than the
original wrap so i prefer rthe original |
|
20:34:07 |
sdchick |
kate has already outgrown most of her 6-12, with pf and
wool cover she would be in 18 month! |
|
20:34:51 |
azaries_mama |
wow! sofia still fits in some brands of her 3-6 month.
we wear a lot of dresses though |
|
20:35:00 |
z2akids |
ERRRR, I just got an e-mail from the advocacy host. I'm
so ticked off right now. The tote and the shirt I
ordered for myself never got ordered. |
|
20:35:12 |
z2akids |
Sorry, feel like venting. That was just a huge disaster |
|
20:35:23 |
azaries_mama |
god that place seemed to have issues! sorry jennifer :( |
|
20:35:34 |
sdchick |
it was a good idea, just didn't work that great! |
|
20:35:43 |
mikesgirl64 |
i cant believe you are still getting her into 3-4 emily! |
|
20:35:48 |
mikesgirl64 |
3-6 sorry :) |
|
20:36:00 |
mikesgirl64 |
im sorry thats been so frustrating jennifer! |
|
20:36:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that stinks |
|
20:36:26 |
mikesgirl64 |
im all about matching kier's dresses to her diapers |
|
20:36:29 |
azaries_mama |
yeah just the carters. the old navy ones are 6-9 month
now |
|
20:36:45 |
z2akids |
I'm frustrated, but mostly because I made a commitment
and cannot fullfill it. I don't care about the shirt
really, but it's important to me to do what I say. Ya
know? |
|
20:36:47 |
azaries_mama |
oh yeah we totally do that. so cute!! |
|
20:36:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
they'll probably never get an order from any of us
again...what a wasre |
|
20:36:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
waste |
|
20:37:15 |
z2akids |
I'll post about it later. :( Sorry |
|
20:37:26 |
mikesgirl64 |
its ok jennifer we know its not your fault! |
|
20:37:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
My Sarah's still got a couple of 3-6 months stuff she's
wearing. |
|
20:37:29 |
z2akids |
Abigail's in lots of 3-6 still because we use mostly
dresses |
|
20:37:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
my other babies were in 3-6 months for the first week of
their life and that was IT! |
|
20:37:49 |
mikesgirl64 |
kiersten is just such a chunkamunk |
|
20:37:51 |
azaries_mama |
how would i dress a cd boy? just tees i guess |
|
20:38:03 |
sdchick |
we do a lot of onsies and pants. i love children's
place, they are more true to size |
|
20:38:09 |
z2akids |
Zachery was in 3-6 until he was almost 9 months. I
think Alexander went straight from newborn for a week to
12 month |
|
20:38:11 |
mikesgirl64 |
i don tknow haha i would miss the dresses |
|
20:38:24 |
mikesgirl64 |
kiersten was in premies until she was 6 weeks old |
|
20:38:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i've made a few tshirt sets for boys... |
|
20:38:32 |
azaries_mama |
i really hope we have another girl though because we
have so many girl clothes. it's like a pink explosion |
|
20:38:35 |
z2akids |
oooh, I bet those are cute |
|
20:38:53 |
sdchick |
i want another girl because of the clothes and dipes |
|
20:39:08 |
mikesgirl64 |
i inherited WAY TOO many clothes for boys and girls from
my sil and sister who have both |
|
20:39:17 |
azaries_mama |
i love the childrens place too. great sales! |
|
20:39:24 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
we are so shallow meredith! |
|
20:39:24 |
mikesgirl64 |
so i can justify buyiing gender specific dips since i
dont have to get clothes |
|
20:39:44 |
mikesgirl64 |
diapers really are a fashion statement ;) |
|
20:39:52 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
good argument mandy! |
|
20:39:59 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yup :_ |
|
20:40:03 |
z2akids |
They are. Totally the way for an accessorizing mom to
go |
|
20:40:07 |
azaries_mama |
gymboree has to be my fave but they are usually too
spendy |
|
20:40:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
and if we can get tippy to embroider us some stuff it
really WILL make a statement! |
|
20:40:33 |
azaries_mama |
i need more cute covers.. |
|
20:40:37 |
sdchick |
i love baby gap, too. i can't wait to go shopping
tomorrow. it is the only thing on my mind! |
|
20:40:51 |
z2akids |
Okay, sorta sad here - just put Abigail down in her crib
for the first time ever. I'm hoping to get her to nap
there now that she's so movile |
|
20:40:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
the baby is the accessory for mom :) that's what I
took from what you said jennifer :) |
|
20:41:04 |
azaries_mama |
okay dh is starving and hes like why are you sitting
here typing a mile a minute about diapers? he doesn't
get it... |
|
20:41:11 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha poor guy ;) |
|
20:41:14 |
z2akids |
oooho, yeah we need Misty to get well so she can
embroider for us. |
|
20:41:29 |
mikesgirl64 |
mike just asked me a minute ago what i was chatting
about i said diapers and he said oh lord |
|
20:41:36 |
sdchick |
the other day kate and i wore matching panites! talk
about accesorizing. shaun brought it to my attention. |
|
20:41:58 |
mikesgirl64 |
i tell you he thinks ive lost my mine, our friends area
ll definitely not ap and so he is having a hard time
telling his freinds what we do |
|
20:42:07 |
azaries_mama |
gotta go girls. loved the chat! i need to get dinner
ready before the oc. guilty pleasure... |
|
20:42:16 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh just got done watching oc |
|
20:42:18 |
z2akids |
ttyl |
|
20:42:29 |
mikesgirl64 |
im addicted :) bye emily! |
|
20:42:51 |
sdchick |
see ya! i never got into the oc. it is almost er time
though |
|
20:43:00 |
sdchick |
i mean ER |
|
20:43:23 |
z2akids |
ER - thank goodness for the dvr. Robert working
evenings is a killer on tv |
|
20:43:27 |
mikesgirl64 |
its funny bc its 10 here and the oc comes on at 8, i
always just assume everyone is in the same time zone |
|
20:43:51 |
mikesgirl64 |
i need to get some more inserts |
|
20:43:58 |
sdchick |
when i lived in mountain time it was half eastern/half
pacific. very confusing. leno and letterman were at
different times. |
|
20:44:00 |
mikesgirl64 |
i dont know why but lately kiersten has been leaking
through her's |
|
20:44:09 |
mikesgirl64 |
wow that is confusing! |
|
20:44:18 |
mikesgirl64 |
not leaking, i should say soaking |
|
20:44:31 |
sdchick |
is microfleece the way to go for inserts? kate has been
leaking through, too. |
|
20:44:33 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I could make some inserts.... |
|
20:44:51 |
sdchick |
microfiber i guess is what it is |
|
20:45:07 |
mikesgirl64 |
is this a phase they go through? |
|
20:45:10 |
mikesgirl64 |
heavier peeing |
|
20:45:29 |
sdchick |
i didn't know if it is because she is growing so her
bladder is bigger or if its a phase |
|
20:45:31 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
fiber not fleecew |
|
20:45:33 |
mikesgirl64 |
speaking of making, rebecca im having a hard time
deciding about my sleep - on thing |
|
20:45:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
fleece is polyester and not absorbent. |
|
20:45:59 |
z2akids |
microfleece and microfiber are different |
|
20:46:02 |
mikesgirl64 |
do you think fleece would be super warm? |
|
20:46:10 |
mikesgirl64 |
i just am tired of feeling wetness when i wake up |
|
20:46:13 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
microfiber like what they dry cars off with, (chamois
actually)...i've heard go to wm in the car isle and get
some of those...I think I am going to try that. |
|
20:46:30 |
mikesgirl64 |
and my bed or whatever i try to cover it up with is
always soaking wet |
|
20:46:35 |
z2akids |
Yeah, I have some from Target - same idea |
|
20:46:46 |
mikesgirl64 |
i tried a pf the other night and that worked decently
but my sheets and mattress were still pretty soaked |
|
20:46:51 |
sdchick |
i should just get the towels. it is just a little wet
for us, just around the edges of the dipe |
|
20:46:55 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
not in winter---I wonder how big you want it, but i'll
go see the width of my fabric and send you a pm and see
if that size'll work for you. |
|
20:47:02 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
what color did you say you want? |
|
20:47:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i have bunches. |
|
20:47:08 |
mikesgirl64 |
i dont care :) |
|
20:47:26 |
mikesgirl64 |
whatever works well for me, something that wont show
those white stains im getting on my sheets would be best |
|
20:47:52 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
k, i'll do that |
|
20:47:59 |
z2akids |
lol |
|
20:48:03 |
z2akids |
I know that feeling |
|
20:48:07 |
mikesgirl64 |
its so annoying |
|
20:48:11 |
sdchick |
ot-how is the thrush mandy? all gone? |
|
20:48:13 |
mikesgirl64 |
i hate waking up on wet spots |
|
20:48:42 |
mikesgirl64 |
i think so - ive still got some rashiness going on i
guess the ezcema but it doesnt hurt or itch nearly as
bad and my nipples look seminormal |
|
20:48:48 |
z2akids |
I don't leak much at night anymore, but it is a pain |
|
20:48:57 |
mikesgirl64 |
god, i seriously gush |
|
20:49:02 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that it such good news |
|
20:49:10 |
sdchick |
i'm dreading it coming back since both kate and i are on
antibiotics |
|
20:49:11 |
mikesgirl64 |
its miserable to wake up and want to go back to sleep
and have to find a dry spot to lay on |
|
20:49:16 |
mikesgirl64 |
oh no! |
|
20:49:21 |
mikesgirl64 |
are you taking probiotics |
|
20:49:24 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
im nursing the 2 1/2 yo now...he is HEAVY!! |
|
20:49:49 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha thats my only fear about extended nursing, kiersten
feels like she weighs 100 pounds! |
|
20:49:53 |
sdchick |
yeah. i also have a script for diflucan. i asked the
doc for it when she prescribed the ab |
|
20:50:02 |
mikesgirl64 |
good thinking and good doc! |
|
20:50:12 |
sdchick |
i still use my boppy because kate is so big! |
|
20:50:23 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh no meredith-hope the thrush bug wont bite you! |
|
20:50:27 |
mikesgirl64 |
i use my boppy when i watch the oc ;) |
|
20:50:38 |
mikesgirl64 |
thrush is miserable, i seriuosly hate it |
|
20:50:44 |
mikesgirl64 |
i have to take kier to the allergist next week |
|
20:50:44 |
sdchick |
i've had thrush 3 times already. no mastitis though |
|
20:50:45 |
z2akids |
Wow. It's so strange how quickly it is to get out of
that mode with a toddler. Alexander quit while I was pg
(at 18 months) and when I look at him, I just can't
imagine. Although if I hadn't gotten pg he'd probably
still be nursing |
|
20:50:47 |
mikesgirl64 |
we'll see what they say |
|
20:51:15 |
z2akids |
I'm surprised that they're sending you to an allergist
already. |
|
20:51:20 |
mikesgirl64 |
mastitis is the pits, i seriously felt like death warmed
over |
|
20:51:31 |
mikesgirl64 |
me too actually jennifer i dont really know what they
could do for her |
|
20:51:48 |
sdchick |
icky. thrush, blocked ducts, and the latching problems
were enough |
|
20:51:49 |
z2akids |
They wouldn't test our kids until they were over 2 |
|
20:52:16 |
sdchick |
i'm so scared about kate having allergies. both of us
have them bad |
|
20:52:21 |
mikesgirl64 |
thats what my sister said about my nephew who also has a
zillion and one allergies |
|
20:52:39 |
mikesgirl64 |
its so frustrating bc thats one of the main reasons i
decided to bf in the first place |
|
20:53:05 |
mikesgirl64 |
now its kind of like ok what was the point if she ends
up screwed anyway - i know there are other benefits but
you know how it goes you always harp on the one you cant
fix |
|
20:53:17 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
hugs |
|
20:53:25 |
sdchick |
imagine how bad they could be if you didn't bf |
|
20:53:32 |
z2akids |
Well, I've breastfed all 3 and both the boys have tubes
in their ears. I always figure - they would have been
worse if I hadn't. Breastfeeding doesn't mean
everything will be great, but they'll be better than
they as an individual would be on formula |
|
20:54:03 |
mikesgirl64 |
thats what i keep saying (to others esp bc i hate
hearing people say i thought bf babies were supposed to
fill in all those things that they want to use as why bf
isnt better after all"" |
|
20:54:12 |
z2akids |
No matter whether she has allergies, she is better
breastfeeding |
|
20:54:25 |
sdchick |
yeah, the ear infection thing ticked me off because i
thought i would avoid a lot of that by bfing. i guess
if you were prone to it in the first place, you can't do
too much |
|
20:54:34 |
mikesgirl64 |
and im getting ragged on all the time about not starting
solids yet |
|
20:54:39 |
mikesgirl64 |
she will be 6 months in 2 weeks |
|
20:54:44 |
sdchick |
starting solids sucks |
|
20:55:04 |
z2akids |
Ugh, I keep asking my ped if we can wait to start solids
until she potty trains. ;) |
|
20:55:09 |
sdchick |
i purposely skip her solid meal almost every other day. |
|
20:55:11 |
mikesgirl64 |
she is probably ready to start now, you should see her
silly butt grab at our dinner! and if you have water she
has to have a sip ;) |
|
20:55:15 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha |
|
20:55:40 |
mikesgirl64 |
im not looking forward to it and i HAVE to buy a
minishower |
|
20:56:10 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
s had applesauce off coltons plate today--she seems to
like it! |
|
20:56:16 |
mikesgirl64 |
the thought of scrapping poop off the diaper makes me a
little nauseous esp if i get pg while she is still in
diapers - i will lose my breakfast, lunch and dinner! |
|
20:56:19 |
sdchick |
it is gross poo, takes forever to feed and clean, and
after the first time it isn't cute anymore |
|
20:56:19 |
z2akids |
Solids are a pain. I mean, they're fun and everything.
They make for great pics. And, I wouldn't want to be
exclusively nursing a toddler - that'd be a lot of
work. But yuk |
|
20:56:20 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
:) |
|
20:56:22 |
mikesgirl64 |
aww |
|
20:56:47 |
sdchick |
we had peas today. that will be a fun diaper! |
|
20:56:52 |
mikesgirl64 |
so cute rebecca - did he feed her |
|
20:57:18 |
z2akids |
My favorites are corn (looks the same coming out) and
carrots (wait'll you see neon poo) |
|
20:57:19 |
mikesgirl64 |
yea i was telling mike i dont know when we are supposed
to have time to feed her |
|
20:57:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
no, off my finger, actually he did once :) |
|
20:57:33 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
he doesn't know to be gentle |
|
20:57:33 |
mikesgirl64 |
aww what a good big brother |
|
20:57:42 |
mikesgirl64 |
haha |
|
20:58:15 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you'll pick pea skins out of your washing machine |
|
20:58:39 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
raisins are fun too--they rehydrate and look like
grapes! |
|
20:58:49 |
sdchick |
it was jarred. we will be out of town tomorrow and
maybe the next day, so i started her on something
convenient |
