Oh eff that. I don't have enough to double every single diaper we have and it's stressing me out

same here! I can't wait to get my fitteds in the mail so I can start taking the hemp I use at night and use them during the day

Alva baby diapers are very comparable to expensive brands. They are much cheaper, and if you can find a co-op online to join, they can be as low as 3.00 each including inserts. I plan on getting Ollie 6 to start and if I like them and we can manage the extra washing, I plan on going up to 30 or 40 since they are so cheap.

We only need to double stuff at night thankfully

I love hemp, super absorbent, but my DS is such a heavy wetter, right now for night we use 1 mf, 2-3 hemp (at least one of those folded over in the front since he's a belly sleeper), and a wool insert. Some nights he still wets through a bit.

Damn that's quite the ordeal lol my kids aren't soakers

Hey does it count as "pulling up" if I hold my hands out and he grabs them then stands up on his own without me moving my hands?

I know, it's really crazy. But he sleeps 12 hours, so I need something that lasts all night. I'm getting an 18 layer bamboo fitted, another fleece/bamboo tester concoction, and a fitted that has both hemp and bamboo together. I'm hoping those work really well.

I would say so! Go Rory!!!!

Quoting XavierRose:" I would say so! Go Rory!!!!"

Wooohoooo! He still can't get sitting upright without my hand to pull on though lol

lol. Roran now rolls all around the floor and army crawls. I give him 2 weeks tops and he'll be full on crawling. He is starting to pick his tummy up off the ground and rock.

Rory still army crawls and rocks some but not too interested in getting on his knees yet. I bet if I leave him naked more he will for his winkie's sake lol

The hemp little weeds (i think by cotton babies) are fraching awesome. Kind of like a thin prefold (i just fold it in thirds and stick it in a cover). Crazy absorbent.
