Focus on using cloth wipes

For us, we used cloth wipes from the beginning because that was our only option in the hospital. When we came home we tried one disposable wipe which made the baby pumpkin quite red. We decided then that we would stick with cloth wipes. We used washcloths in the beginning and we have a few flannel wipes now (we prefer those). I am excited to see that The Cloth Diaper Report is going to be doing a focus on cloth wipes later in December (the 14th-22nd). I am hoping that I can pick up some new ideas and maybe try some new wipes (so we can phase out the washcloths).

Happy Thanksgiving

I am attempting to avoid all the cloth diaper Black Friday deals by updating my blog look. So far, it isn't really working. I am so tempted!

Babee Love- Holiday Road Trip Event

Babee Love is getting ready to have a holiday road trip event. What is this exactly? Here is the information from the site:

It will be starting December 2nd and include GREAT reviews AND giveaways! I will also be posting great travel ideas when traveling with kids.

I wanted to have a gift guide on my blog just like everyone else, but with a spin…a Holiday Road Trip. If you know someone who’s going to grandma’s or visiting relatives for the Holidays, this would be a great time to follow my blog AND grab my buttons!

It may be that she has a festive site with snow falling on the screen... or maybe it's the cute new holiday button... or maybe it is that she has had great giveaways in the past- but something has me excited to see what this event turns out to be and I wanted to let you all know about it too!

Oh -just use a disposable

I am having a hard time letting go of the two full bags of disposable diapers that we still own. They are sitting on our couch in the living room to remind me to find them a new home. I actually have a neighbor with a baby one week younger than my baby so I suspect that she can use them. I just have this fear that once I let them go I will need them. (This is unfortunately a somewhat common problem for me)

So tonight I realized that I don't have any pocket diapers that are clean and ready to go. Pocket diapers are the "dad diapers" and we only have 3 of them. Well, today the baby was having a major case of the fussies all day (this happens after vaccines) and when my husband got home he let me lay down for a nap. When he asked if there were diapers ready for him I said "Oh, just use a disposable". And what he said shocked me. He said "I really need to learn how to do prefolds instead. Otherwise we are going to end up with a mess".

So my husband, who was kind of on the fence with cloth diapering... and definitely a spectator with prefolds, now wants to learn the ropes. I am pretty excited about that. I really should give away those diapers tomorrow, it would be like a Thanksgiving present.

Diaper Discussions Thirsties Giveaway

Diaper Discussions is having a giveaway for one of the new Thirsties Duo Diapers. Aside from the great feature that one diaper covers two sizes, the best part to me is that you don't have to remove the insert after a diaper change because it agitates itself out in the wash. That's what I am talking about!

Two of a Kind, working on a full house- Prince Lionheart giveaway

Now that my baby is starting to sit up with my help, I have been looking around for toys that can help her do this (and leave my hands free for folding diapers or whatever for a few minutes).

I was excited to see a giveaway on Two of a Kind, Working on a full house. Here are some of the details:

Prince Lionheart has a great selection of baby products. They began in 1973 by crafting handmade rocking horses in their garage. After three decades of innovation, Prince Lionheart is still family owned. They have become a name that parents know and trust.

Prince Lionheart sent Isabella the Watermelon bébéPOD® PLUS.

Me and My Boys- Planet Wise Bag Giveaway

One of the things I am still trying to figure out in cloth diapering is how to store my baby's dirty diapers until laundry time. Right now I am using plastic bags and then re-using them as trash bags. But, I am thinking it may be time to invest in an actual diaper bag for dirty diapers. So, I was pretty excited to see a giveaway on Me and My Boys for a Planet Wise Bag.

Details from the giveaway:

Planet Wise wet bags are the perfect alternative to using plastic bags, therefore they are helping the environment. Each Planet Wise wet bag is sewn with hidden seams and sealed to eliminate wicking and leaking which is great because whatever is in there, you don't want leaking out! Their wet bags are also designed to resist odors and stains so it is the perfect place to keep wet smelly things hidden until you are ready to wash!

Planet Wise wet bags are not just for diapers! They are perfect for carrying other wet and dirty items such as swimsuits, shoes, cosmetics, gym clothes and more. They are sold in 3 different sizes so there is a perfect size no matter what your needs are!

I don't know what diaper to use!

These are the words I heard around 3am last night. Baby Pumpkin had had a rough day and my best defense for that was lots of feedings and diaper changes (she likes both of those things!). However, when nighttime rolled around we didn't have any pocket diapers in the diaper stack ready to go so my husband hit a stand still. We were also out of flannel wipes, so he picked up a prefold diaper and said "should I use this as a wipe?"

It's cute really. I am in the process of learning our system and I told him that once I figured out what worked for us (meaning me) I would teach him. No sense in both of us getting totally overwhelmed in this process!

Oh- and we had our single bum genius in the dryer so I grabbed that and we made it through the rest of the night with no leaks! Hooray!

Rockin Green Giveawy on BabeeLove

I haven't been cloth diapering long (2 weeks) but I am already on the hunt for the perfect detergent.

I may not make it to see if I won the giveaway, I have a feeling I will be ordering some before the contest ends :-)

The disposabes are back in the package- out of sight

So I had been storing a stack of disposables next to my stack of cloth diapers while I was making the transition. The stack of disposables was there in case I didn't have any clean cloth diapers (I don't have enough to last 2 days yet) or if dad decided to change a diaper. Well, we are going on 2 days of cloth diapers only so I decided it was time to take the stack of disposables away. I'll hang on to them until the baby bear grows out of that size and if I still have them, I will donate them or give them to a friend.

I'll be honest: I didn't expect the transition to cloth diapers to go that well. I thought we would have blowouts galore and horrible laundry drama. So far, we haven't had either- although I have become sort of obsessed with cloth diapering and I wasn't expecting that!

Diaper Bag Giveaway on Newly Wed Newly Bred

There is a great giveaway going on over at Newly Wed Newly Bred for a custom diaper bag made by Brooke Van Gory Designs (An etsy shop).

Going on 24 hours in cloth diapers

Tonight may be our second night with cloth diapering at night! We made it through the night with 1 diaper change two nights ago but then last night in the middle of the night I was too tired to change the baby so I told her dad that he could put her in a disposable if he changed her.

So then today, I taught him how to put on a pocket diaper so that if we are in that situation tonight we will be good to go!

I will say that we seem to have less leaks now that we are using cloth. Part of my reason for considering cloth was that my baby was leaking through diapers at night unless I used the super power 12 hour dry diapers. Those feel a little toxic to me, so hopefully we can keep using cloth through the night!
