CD Check In

1. How's it going? Any successes/difficulties?

2. How many diapers are in your current-size stash? (if you have different sizes, just the size LO is in now)

3. Tell me about your favorite diaper.

4. Questions/suggestions/stories?

5. Word on the street is, Santa might be bringing LO some new fluff for Christmas. Diapers are an acceptable present for a 6 week old, right? ;-)

1. How's it going? Any successes/difficulties?

We're alternating between cloth and disposables until Friday, when I can stop using her diaper rash cream.  The liners are a PITA when she poops (I can see how they'd be helpful later on, but not for newborn poop), but the disposables get on my nerves so I've been mixing it up.

Success: My aunt mentioned to my mom that she had been saving diaper coupons for me...my mom said "Remember, she's using cloth diapers" and my aunt was like "Oh I figured she would have given that up by now."  She was shocked to hear that I wasn't fed up with it.

2. How many diapers are in your current-size stash? (if you have different sizes, just the size LO is in now)

9 OS pockets, 18 prefolds, 4 covers...I need to order more pockets - right now, I use them just at night, but I'd like to have enough to use throughout the day.

3. Tell me about your favorite diaper.

I like my aplix bumgenius 4.0s the best (other dipes are prefolds and kawaiis). I am thinking of trying the Imagine OS pocket diapers - has anyone used them? I ordered one to try out.

4. Questions/suggestions/stories?

Thanks to everyone who mentioned Nicki's Diapers in the thread last week - I hadn't heard of that website before and I just started using it.

5. Word on the street is, Santa might be bringing LO some new fluff for Christmas. Diapers are an acceptable present for a 6 week old, right? ;-)

Yes, but I feel like this is more of a present for me...I love getting new diapers!

1. How's it going? Any successes/difficulties?

Still going good, she has started to need more absorption so we started using some doublers when we know she will be sleeping a long time

2. How many diapers are in your current-size stash? (if you have different sizes, just the size LO is in now)

I bought GMD fitted on sale for the newborn stage, I had 24 of those and some Kawaii she fit into pretty early. Now she is wearing the Kawaii, I have 12 and bumgenius 4.0s, I have 24 of those. What I have is plenty but I might buy more whenever I see a sale to have more leeway with the laundry.

3. Tell me about your favorite diaper.

I like the Velcro on the Kawaii but the bumgenius are much easier to stuff and you can tell they are much higher quality.

4. Questions/suggestions/stories?

I wish I had bought more Velcro and will do so in the future if I buy more diapers. I can tell the snaps will last longer though.

1. We are still stuck using disposables. I'm anxious to try the cloth again, but I'm nervous too since it always seems to bring back the rash. Also her little bum is so big in the OS diapers! She's barely squeezing into 0 to 3 clothes now, and I don't have much 3 to 6. I'm waiting until after Xmas to go shopping for some 3 to 6 when there are sales.
2. I have no idea how many diapers I have. I think I have 6 or 7 Best Bottom shells and probably 30 mf inserts and 3 hemp. I think I have 8 grovias and no idea about the inserts. I've also got 3 Itti Bitti Tuttos. I found the grovias and Tuttos just don't work with a NB. Those are AI2s. I have 4 felted covers I want to try out and just got 2 fitteds second hand so I can try those out. I can't remember the name off the top of my head.
3. The BBs worked well, but we just struggle with the rash. :s
4. Anyone else struggle with a rash? I bought some disposable liners so we can continue to use aquaphor, but I'm so chicken to go back and try...
5. No diapers for Xmas. I have enough now for not using them... My hubby is annoyed for sure.

1. How's it going? Any successes/difficulties? We have a break through! We finally fit our BG 4.0's. We fit in those but not our NB pockets or NB diaper covers; I believe it's a leg hole fit issue. It's just a PITA because we only have 6 BG 4.0's and so I'm constantly washing.

2. How many diapers are in your current-size stash? I have 6 NB prefolds, 2 preemie covers, 6 BG 4.0's, 1 OS EcoPosh, and 1 OS Happy Heiny. Waiting to fit in our 5 Alva NB pockets, 3 Rumparooz NB diaper covers, and XS fitteds. :/

3. Tell me about your favorite diaper. I'm in the BG camp for the most part, but I really, really like the way my EcoPosh feels and fits.. it's just kind of bulky, especially when you consider you have to put a cover over it since it's really a fitted.

4. Questions/suggestions/stories? Anyone have any suggestions on making Z's thighs fatter so he can fit in all his CDs? ..jk. ;)

5. Word on the street is, Santa might be bringing LO some new fluff for Christmas. Diapers are an acceptable present for a 6 week old, right? I'm contemplating buying some more CDs, but idk. I want something that fits like my BGs but I don't want the same colors!

Successes - well, we've managed a long visit and various excursions using the cloth diapers. Difficulties - forgetting the diapers in the dryer and needing to go get them late at night :)

2. How many diapers are in your current-size stash? (if you have different sizes, just the size LO is in now)

12 covers, 30 inserts, all Grovia one-size two in ones. A few backup Kushies for "oops - laundry not done" moments.

3. Tell me about your favorite diaper.

The Grovias work fine - husband is happy to use them, so they're fine. The velcro is pretty sticky. I'm worried about the size as R grows - we've moved to the second row of snaps on the rise, there's one "upsize" left as she grows. Maybe my monster baby will need a bigger toddler size of something even if she's not a late potty trained baby. The "save money" motive seems like, especially with my unused newborn stash, to be a failure if R is an only child :)

4. Questions/suggestions/stories?

When will my 30 "diaper" stash last me two days? I think we're changing R every hour on average, except overnight if we can get her down for a longer period. Would it be a good idea to get more dry-feeling hemp inserts, maybe? Now we have 10 of those, 20 cotton ones. R will scream bloody murder as soon as she realizes she's wet. 

Oh, and is it likely we'll need to use disposable liners for a prescription yeast cream? I figure yes, but don't want to futz with them if I don't need to.

5. Word on the street is, Santa might be bringing LO some new fluff for Christmas. Diapers are an acceptable present for a 6 week old, right? ;-)

Sure. Not for us though. We kind of decided R didn't need presents. Of course, we forgot to get presents for ourselves, too :)
