re: Cloth Diapers Rock, Bitches! Vol. 4

Quoting Ecstasy:" Yeah i've heard lots about that too.. my LO has sensitive skin, even sposie tabs leave marks sometimes ... [snip!] ... so im thinking maybe i should change the surged diapers to turned/top stitched ... which sucks because surged looks SO cute."

I'm opposite, my Los would probably be fine I just prefer the look of turned lol

Quoting NicoThunders:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Moses.:</b>" GAH!!! So effing frustrating. Microfiber will ALWAYS ... [snip!] ... Did you see the Peewells I posted? (or was it Colby that liked those? So many people have come and gone through here, haha)."

LOL It's me. But I prefer her complete hemp

I knew it was somebody! A name like Peewells is hard to forget haha.

My friend just receive some aalva baby diapers and she said they are leaking. I asked her if she prepped them and she said no so I told her to prep them and how to do it and she said they are still leaking. Any advice you ladies have this is her first time cloth diapering and I don't want her to get discouraged and give up

Did she buy them new or used? If she bought them used they may need to be stripped. She may need to double stuff her inserts for more absorbency if her baby is a heavy wetter

She bought them new.... nee

I'm going to write a blog post on FAQ cloth questions. Any suggestions on questions to answer? I'll do the typical ones, but I'd like to answer some that are harder to find.

Replacing elastic? I've seen some brands say they come with extra elastic but I have no idea how you'd go about changing it yourself. Idk, maybe that's dumb?

Quoting NicoThunders:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Ecstasy:</b>" Ohh and also.. does the snappi ever come off ... [snip!] ... thread the maker uses before you buy. And if just have to have that dipe but it diesnt work out remember you can always resell!"

Thanks so much!

I want to use them coverless also so ive gone with the snaps  

I checked about the surging with sabrina & she showed me pics etc compared to regular surger thread etc.

I'll still go with surged  .. i'll cross my fingers LO doesn't react - if he does then oh well, more squishies for me haha!!

I don't know how to do it either lol. Or I would totally include that.

Quoting Sneakthief:" Sabrina, those sleepers you sent me a couple years ago made it through two babies and are soon to be ... [snip!] ... he's getting very difficult to handle during changes and I caaaaan't switch to Velcro so aio's are looking like the way to go."

wow! That's awesome that you could use them so long and they were so well loved   That makes me happy!

Quoting Ecstasy:" Thats nice to know! I'll keep them in mind for sure   Im excited to try squishys in NB as well. I've only used them once my bubs are bigger.. late to CD with both."

Squishy Butt covers fit Millie as small as 6lbs 6oz. They go small. The same cover will fit Gavin at 40 lbs with room to grow.

Quoting buddhababy:" I'm sure this has been asked before but does anyone use Mama Cloth? I've been looking into it and wondered if anyone had recommendations. I've heard good things about Domino Pads."

i use them. they're awesome

Quoting Ecstasy:" Does closureless fit better with a snappi? Money isn't an issue.. DH & I bargained... he gets ... [snip!] ... game and i got more diapers hahaha!!   If you had endless amounts of money, would you honestly prefer snaps or snappi? "

I love that kind of bargaining.

Im thinking of trying out covers/prefolds for our next NB.. we'll see though, your fluff is a bit hard to resist and i can't really see myself limiting my stash to covers/prefolds even if they're only in them for a little while hahaha!!


We'll see
