No snaps when only 1 soaker. the soft
covered soaker only has 1 on the bottom
thatset that are covered |
|
20:09:09 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
no, just use the top one and not the
underside one...then no snaps touching
baby... |
|
20:09:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
BUT that brings up another point.... |
|
20:09:21 |
mikesgirl |
ohhhhhh i get it |
|
20:09:23 |
z2akids |
I saw that. I'm really impressed wtih
the design |
|
20:09:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i also totally forgot to hide the
snaps.... |
|
20:09:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I have never made one with exposed
snaps.... |
|
20:09:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i'll have to make you another.... |
|
20:10:11 |
z2akids |
ahhhh, I'm not going to complain about
that - perhaps at a slight discount and
we'll call this one a second. :) |
|
20:10:12 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
sorry |
|
20:10:20 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
K :) |
|
20:11:06 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I was too excited and thinking too much
about a new design to remember that... |
|
20:11:09 |
z2akids |
I figure when you go hyena on us, I'll
have to note that it is a second when I
resell it for more than you are charging
now. :) |
|
20:11:18 |
mikesgirl |
haha |
|
20:11:22 |
z2akids |
Oh, like you didn't have much on your
mind. Please, I am not the least bit
worried |
|
20:11:48 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
20:12:38 |
z2akids |
I have to confess to a bit of a PW
addiction. I actually bought 2 smalls
at her last stocking to put aside for a
baby we haven't even begun to conceive
yet. |
|
20:12:56 |
mikesgirl |
i havent tried those yet i really feel
the need to get one of the fleece aios i
found during hunting |
|
20:13:06 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I just sent mom some more yarn...anxious
to hear what she likes and doesn't... |
|
20:13:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
in fact sent her that andreas...or
whatever that another board member
used....part alpaca, part silk part
peruvian wool... |
|
20:13:52 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
20:14:01 |
z2akids |
ooh, is that from knitpicks? I have
some like that |
|
20:14:05 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
when you start buying for the
nonconceived :) |
|
20:14:13 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
not that you are alone inthat, cuz you
are NOT! |
|
20:14:13 |
z2akids |
scary isn't it. |
|
20:14:31 |
z2akids |
Heck, I'm not even close to fertile yet,
so it's pretty awful. |
|
20:14:44 |
mikesgirl |
i guess at one point i need to try one -
im asking mke to fill my stocking with
new diapers ;) |
|
20:14:45 |
z2akids |

20:18:17 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
some personality is coming back! |
|
20:18:22 |
mikesgirl |
i still love my happy heinys the most
although my prints are wet or somethomg |
|
20:18:34 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I hate it when they don't act or even
look like themselves. |
|
20:18:34 |
z2akids |
I'm so glad to hear that. Isn't it
awful when they're so sick that they
aren't themselves? |
|
20:18:45 |
mikesgirl |
yea i was wondering where youd been reb
we hadnt seen you around |
|
20:19:12 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
have you all been chatting anyway? |
|
20:19:44 |
z2akids |
I've been on a couple of times, but no
one has been here by the time I realize
that it's 8ish |
|
20:20:02 |
mikesgirl |
i think kiersten might be starting to
teeth - she osnt cranky but so muc drool
and she is always rubbing things back
and forth on her little gums ... any
advice for a ftm? |
|
20:20:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
sorry bout that |
|
20:20:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
frozen washcloth |
|
20:21:14 |
z2akids |
awww. That's tough |
|
20:21:27 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nurse tons---speaking of which whats
todays nipple status? |
|
20:22:15 |
mikesgirl |
its ok - still has to be something
pumping related it always gets bleedy or
sore whn i pump |
|
20:22:27 |
mikesgirl |
i read to try olive oil on the shields |
|
20:22:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nursing has pain relievers in it---plus
the pressure in the mouth feels good |
|
20:23:15 |
mikesgirl |
are teeth going to hurt me??? i
seriously fear them |
|
20:23:33 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
no, a proper latch does not involve the
teeth at all. |
|
20:23:46 |
mikesgirl |
i dont know why after allmy nipple drama
ive had |
|
20:24:06 |
z2akids |
Well Mandy, teeth don't hurt most
people, but with the luck you've had ... |
|
20:24:15 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
the only time my nipples have ever
noticed teeth is when the top ones come
(it'll be a while for that)...I'd get a
tiny tiny little sore spot for a short
time.... |
|
20:24:21 |
z2akids |
Yeah. |
|
20:24:43 |
z2akids |
Although both the boys bit me once or
twice and that definitely hurts. But,
they learned quickly that biting means
no numnums |
|
20:24:46 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
how are you today? |
|
20:24:54 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
nodding. |
|
20:25:28 |
z2akids |
oh, Mandy - you're talking about fleece
AIOs. One thing to think about are
fitteds and fleece pants from Old Navy -
only the 100% poly ones. |
|
20:25:30 |
mikesgirl |
i figure eventually it all has to get
better i def think the fungal cream is
helping |
|
20:25:43 |
z2akids |
I SO feel for you |
|
20:26:25 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
GREAT!!! |
|
20:26:31 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that's what I needed to hear from you :) |
|
20:26:40 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
now what's this talk about fleece pants
or someting? |
|
20:26:57 |
mikesgirl |
now if i could figure out how to keep
the pump from causing me pain and could
get a freezer supplty back id be a happy
momma |
|
20:27:12 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
jen>so buy fleece pants and just put a
regular old fleece diaper under it with
no cover? |
|
20:27:12 |
z2akids |
That is so stressful. |
|
20:27:16 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
that's tempting... |
|
20:27:21 |
mikesgirl |
i found these ADRABLE fleece aio hunting |
|
20:27:22 |
z2akids |
Any fitted |
|
20:27:24 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
to sew them too of course :) |
|
20:28:02 |
mikesgirl |
im seriously just keeping up with her |
|
20:28:04 |
z2akids |
They work just like wool longies -
although you wash them with regular
laundry and fabric softener and dryer
sheets are apparently the way to go with
fleece covers |
|
20:28:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
mandy were you able to figure out what
was causing the pain with the pump? |
|
20:28:29 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
any chance you could quit work? |
|
20:28:35 |

waiting for them to dry so I can try

the rest of the sweaterl.. having
trouble with the legs... |
|
20:36:09 |

legs of the soaker. |
|
20:36:19 |

|
20:39:49 |
ProudSpark |
does anyone use flats? |
|
20:39:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
ring slings (and pouches) are kind of
tricky to get used to... |
|
20:40:13 |
atordoff |
I like the wrap and am making them too! |
|
20:40:13 |
z2akids |
ooh, now flats are for scary |
|
20:40:14 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
no, but have many many times. Sarah is
currently in a prefold, does that
count? not really, I know :) |
|
20:40:28 |
z2akids |
I need to get a couple and try them out. |
|
20:40:30 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I'm oldest of nine, I used to FOLD flats
all the time! and pin them on too! |
|
20:40:34 |
camperjen |
I would usually put DS so his head is on
the side of the ring - but now that he's
getting bigger, itt's impossible - so
I'm confused |
|
20:40:44 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I knew how to pin a diaper on perfectly
long before I ever had my first period
:) |
|
20:40:50 |
ProudSpark |
i need to know how to fold them...i just
use them for doublers right now |

I only recently switched to cloth, my
son is 6 months old. I haven't switched
to night time as I am waiting for bigger
diapers so that I can put a doubler in
it. |
|
20:42:43 |
ProudSpark |
two prefolds work for us |
|
20:42:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
20:43:19 |
ProudSpark |
nobody else here that likes the
wonderoos? |
|
20:43:27 |
camperjen |
but DS rarely goes more than 6 hrs
without getting changed - he's still
waking twice a night |
|
20:43:28 |
z2akids |
Bum-Ware AIO, Fuzzi Bunz and GAD
pockets, Cuddlebaby and Peewell fitteds
and prefolds. |
|
20:43:32 |
atordoff |
Haven't tried them. |
|
20:43:42 |
camperjen |
how much $$ for roos? |
|
20:43:42 |
mikesgirl |
i cant figure out pf |
|
20:43:45 |
z2akids |
I have a couple of wonderoos, but I
think that they fit my toddler better
and he's out of them. |
|
20:43:56 |
camperjen |
I'd be willing to try one out |
|
20:44:10 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
they take two babies to figue out mikes
;) |
|
20:44:14 |
atordoff |
You should check out ebay. That's where
I found mine. |
|
20:44:23 |
ProudSpark |
well i bought mine on diaperpin for $5 a
piece becuz the elastic was shot...i
bought a few for $8 a piece too |
|
20:44:25 |
z2akids |
Mikes - I'm getting some of my prefolds
converted to prefitteds from Tinkletraps |
|
20:44:32 |
mikesgirl |
ohhhhhh thats the secret |
|
20:44:47 |
mikesgirl |
i saw that what a good idea! |
|
20:45:09 |
camperjen |
mikesgirl said she might sell roos... ?? |
|
20:45:15 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
whats the url jen? |
|
20:45:21 |
z2akids |
www.tinkletraps.com |
|
20:45:40 |
ProudSpark |
I'd love to have some more roos but i
cant afford them...they are too
expensive |
|
20:45:52 |
ProudSpark |
i use Gerber prefolds from Walmart |
|
20:46:00 |
mikesgirl |
yep i have two but i still feel like an
emotional attachment to them haha so i
havent got around to selling them |
|
20:46:00 |
z2akids |
Unless you have figured it out. I'm
dyeing some prefolds for the store and
also to convert |
|
20:46:05 |
camperjen |
really?? how do those prefolds work?? |
|
20:46:17 |
camperjen |
lol m'sgirl |
|
20:46:20 |
z2akids |
Spark - Roos seem expensive, but since
you only have to buy them one time, they
aren't that bad. |
|
20:46:40 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
proud> indian or chinese are bunches
better |
|
20:46:49 |
ProudSpark |
but my daughter is 21 months and
probably going to be an onlie |
|
20:47:04 |
z2akids |
That's right. Then you really don't get
the benefit of them. |
|
20:47:25 |
ProudSpark |
but they fit her well |
|
20:47:42 |
ProudSpark |
ever since ive cloth diapered her |
|
20:48:25 |
mikesgirl |
ok crying babe must be teeth :( be back |
|
20:48:35 |
z2akids |
I don't mind my roos. I just have SO
many other diapers that fit better.
Generally I don't like the one size -
they just never seem to be quite right
for my kids. But, they're good
diapers. I sell them and I won't sell
anything that I think stinks. |
|
20:49:05 |
MamaBrady |
Hello fellow cloth diaper users! |
|
20:49:09 |
ProudSpark |
roos are great for when we are out
places then i dont have to deal with
pins and a figeity(sp.) toddler |
|
20:49:16 |
camperjen |
hey mamabrady |
|
20:49:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
welcome mamabrady! |
|
20:49:20 |
z2akids |
I think they're a great option,
especially for someone with a limited
budget who wants to do pockets. |
|
20:49:25 |
z2akids |
Hi mamabrady. |
|
20:49:43 |
MamaBrady |
Have a question/problem with my cloth
diapering... |
|
20:49:46 |
atordoff |
Hello mamabrady. |
|
20:49:48 |
ProudSpark |
hi mamabrady welcome |
|
20:49:52 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
jump right in!! |
|
20:50:17 |
z2akids |
I bet someone here'll have an answer |
|
20:50:21 |
ProudSpark |
hi mamabrady my name is Sabrina |
|
20:50:33 |
MamaBrady |
I am using proraps and a chinese prefold
inside...when little Brady poops, the
poop always hits the diaper cover (in
the gusset-thank goodness!) but it
ruins" the cover and has to be
laundered...am I doing something
wrong???" |
|
20:50:57 |
z2akids |
How're you folding them? |
|
20:51:10 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I just told mandy that pinning take
loots of practice... |
|
20:51:12 |
z2akids |
How old is Brady? |
|
20:51:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
you pinning? |
|
20:51:32 |
MamaBrady |
He's only 3 months so I am folding them
tri-fold and then fannig a bit towards
the rear and folded over in the front... |
|
20:51:44 |
MamaBrady |
they seem to fill the crotch area just
fine...until he poops!! |
|
20:51:47 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
may need a snappie or pin... |
|
20:51:52 |
MamaBrady |
not pinning...that could be it you
think? |
|
20:52:00 |
MamaBrady |
I have 4 snappis and love them! |
|
20:52:06 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
or just think of your little system as a
AIO and plan on laundering after each
use. |
|
20:52:09 |
MamaBrady |
stopped using them because didn't think
I needed them |
|
20:52:28 |
z2akids |
I use snappis and find that they really
help |
|
20:52:37 |
MamaBrady |
yeh, Cuddlebaby, that is a
thought...budget is tight and wanted to
make them last a little bit longer so
would not need so many! |
|
20:52:53 |
MamaBrady |
thanks z2akids-will use mine for a bit
and see how it works |
|
20:52:57 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah if you are not going to fasten the
diaper you can expect that....which some
are just fine with, worth it for how
handy it is (and economical to just have
to buy the prowrap and prefolds) |
|
20:54:01 |
MamaBrady |
another question regarding
staining...aside from drying in the sun,
suggestions for getting stains
out...ALWAYS get stains...rinse in cold
and soak, then drain, and wash in hot
with tide detergent (liq)... |
|
20:54:07 |
z2akids |
And, as he gets older his bm will firm
up a bit and become less often and the
problem will start to go away on it's
own. |
|
20:54:19 |
MamaBrady |
excellent! |
|
20:54:23 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
good answer jen :) |
|
20:54:45 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah you could use oxyboost and other
stuff but it may shorten the life of the
diaper...sun is about the only way... |
|
20:54:50 |
camperjen |
I find a squirt of dish soap in the
original rinse is a great poo cleaner |
|
20:54:57 |
atordoff |
Need to get dinner on the table. I'll
be back at 6:30 for the babywearing... |
|
20:55:03 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
good tip! |
|
20:55:08 |
z2akids |
Mama, I usually have to sun any dipe
that has bm on it. It doesn't have to
actually dry in the sun - just hang out
there until the stain is gone |
|
20:55:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
thanks for coming by atordoff!! |
|
20:55:21 |
MamaBrady |
hmmm...dish soap-nice idea... |
|
20:55:23 |
z2akids |
bye |
|
20:55:36 |
MamaBrady |
so the sun it is....it's getting chilly
here in wisconsin, but will make a point
of hanging them! |
|
20:55:48 |
z2akids |
Just be careful of it. Remember that
ANYTHING that you add to your wash can
build up - even dawn |
|
20:56:01 |
MamaBrady |
thanks for the tip! |
|
20:56:16 |
MamaBrady |
Have you guys found that we are really a
rare breed-cloth diaper users? |
|
20:56:21 |
camperjen |
I use less than 1 tsp for a full load |
|
20:56:34 |
camperjen |
in my real life, cloth diaper users is
hard to find |
|
20:56:36 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
depends on what part of the country you
are in...VERY rare here in Neb!! |
|
20:56:47 |
camperjen |
I'm outside Cleveland OH |
|
20:56:48 |
z2akids |
It's pretty rare here in OH |
|
20:56:55 |
z2akids |
Camper - I'm in Columbus |
|
20:56:57 |
MamaBrady |
I'm from Wisconsin and in my home town
anyway, really rare |
|
20:57:12 |
camperjen |
z2akids - my dad just moved from
Reynoldsburg |
|
20:57:19 |
camperjen |
my best friend lives in Powell |
|
20:57:27 |
MamaBrady |
before I knew this site existed, wanted
to start up a support group" for cloth
diapering moms...." |
|
20:57:40 |
MamaBrady |

Bend! |
|
20:57:41 |
MamaBrady |
Haha |
|
20:57:41 |
z2akids |
:) |
|
20:57:42 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
20:58:34 |
MamaBrady |

z2akids |

|
20:58:37 |
host_Cuddlebaby |

|
20:58:39 |
MamaBrady |

|
20:58:44 |
MamaBrady |
Hmmm...will have to check it out |
|
20:58:46 |
camperjen |
I have med proraps for sale if you want

|
20:58:47 |
camperjen |
lol |
|
20:58:49 |
mikesgirl |
im back :) all my friends call me super
mom for cd its funnt i dont know anyone
irl that cd |
|
20:58:49 |
z2akids |
any brand you can think of someone's
selling |
|
20:59:01 |
MamaBrady |
Question: what do you guys use for
overnight??? |
|
20:59:17 |
MamaBrady |
Camperjen, I JUST ordered some today!!!
Ug |
|
20:59:20 |
mikesgirl |
dont do it mama -its ADDICTING |
|
20:59:24 |
z2akids |
I use fitteds and wool - usually
Cuddlebaby (I just got my second) or
Peewell |
|
20:59:30 |
camperjen |
cancel the order - quick!!!! |
|
20:59:42 |
MamaBrady |
Hahaha...spent good portion of day
(while Brady sleeping) on ebay looking
for stuff for baby!!! |
|
20:59:51 |
MamaBrady |
hmmmm...where do you have them
advertised? |
|
20:59:52 |
z2akids |
When they're all in the wash, I use
Fuzzi Bunz with TONS of inserts |
|
21:00:21 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
Yah, I'm rethinking my stance agains
fuzzi bunz... |
|
21:00:22 |
MamaBrady |
I have some fuzzi buns but are just a
little too big |
|
21:00:28 |
MamaBrady |
really want to get away from disposables |
|
21:00:32 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I'm still using smalls and they are
bikinis! |
|
21:00:40 |
MamaBrady |
what's your stance? |
|
21:00:42 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I should go find some M or L's used.... |
|
21:00:52 |
z2akids |
I think Diaperswappers is better than
ebay because most of the moms there feel
like they have some responsibility to
each other and I think you're a little
less likely to get bad dipes |
|
21:00:53 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
wanna trade mama? |
|
21:01:05 |
z2akids |
why?? |
|
21:01:17 |
z2akids |
Cuddle - why're you against FB? |
|
21:01:28 |
MamaBrady |
cool, z2akids! Will definately check it
out and mark as fav! |
|
21:01:38 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I think I didn't like the fit.... |
|
21:01:42 |
z2akids |
I'd send you a couple FBs to try out for
a bit to see if you like them |
|
21:01:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
oh an dthey are hard to stuff.... |
|
21:02:01 |
camperjen |
why hard to stuff? |
|
21:02:09 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
but sicne I made inserts they are much
easier...AND I was stuffing with
prefolds...way too bulky! |
|
21:02:13 |
mikesgirl |
i find them easier to stuff than roos |
|
21:02:35 |
z2akids |
Now, my GADs are very hard to stuff, but
I think that FBs aren't bad |
|
21:02:39 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
really? |
|
21:02:55 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
but did you stuff with prefolds? |
|
21:03:18 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
my hemp hourglass doublers work very
well in fb...I need the size... |
|
21:03:19 |
z2akids |
I used to, but prefolds are SO bulky and
that does make it hard to stuff anything |
|
21:03:39 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
yeah, that was my gripe... |
|
21:03:51 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
i've seen the LIGHT!! |
|
21:04:07 |
host_Cuddlebaby |
I'm going to put up the end chat note
but we can stay :) |
