    How to dispose soft poop

    @phideltbeers I have a simple bidet sprayer connected to the toilet and a cheap plastic clipboard type thing with a curved shield for containing splatters. Spray it into the toilet nothing else worked for me. Every other option smeared and made a bigger mess.

    Got an 'answer' for my "next level" velcro baby. I was too stressed while pregnant.

    @chamberlain94 Yes!!! Baby wearing! Also, if OP needs like 5 mins to use the bathroom or whatever with both hands free I’d always remind myself “if baby is crying she is still breathing so she’s ok for the couple of minutes I need until I can get back to her” -not ideal but definitely relieved...

    gestational diabetes while low carb--Is the test wrong if I don't carb-load for days before?

    @rodron This is pretty neat though, and I did actually mention that I'd be willing to check my blood sugar at home regularly (like the person who wrote this article below) if the doctor wanted me to, but they didn't seem to think I needed to since everything looked good. 🤷‍♀️...

    gestational diabetes while low carb--Is the test wrong if I don't carb-load for days before?

    @rodron I don't remember offhand but from googling it I do believe that's the one.

    gestational diabetes while low carb--Is the test wrong if I don't carb-load for days before?

    @plope132 I have a ton of food sensitivities so the glucose drink and the alternate "jelly bean test" both were not okay for me to consume. I asked my OB about drinking a set amount of orange juice or similar beforehand and he said that wouldn't be a reliable way to test it. They did a blood...

    Keep it simple with Mama koala?

    @joyful0128 Second this, we did prefolds instead of flats & it worked great for our household. Super easy wash routine!!

    Testing PuL covers

    @poopdog Just came across this today too, in case any of your PUL does turn out to be shot - these folks will gladly take them to use as doggie diaper covers! 🥰 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1564334430646879/permalink/1838108276602825/ Edit in case the link doesn’t work/private group, the...

    Travel tips for 100% cloth

    @dominga See if you can order detergent online to have shipped to your destination - no need to add extra weight to your luggage. I have a giant fanny pack I use for airport and airplane diaper changes so everything is easily accessible and I don’t have to find somewhere to put a bag down. We...

    Please tell me what to add to my stash to make overnights stress-free (currently using disposables at night)

    @mj82 We just tried out the new smart bottoms pull on diaper for overnights. Loved it so much I bought more! I use the included overnight booster along with an overnight fleece/hemp insert from GMD to keep LO dry and absorb some extra pee overnight. She’s a heavy wetter and these things last all...

    Am I supposed to run 3 whole washer cycles every 1-2 days for 3-8 tiny rectangles?

    @wisper I use a sprayer for solids as they’re taken off baby and just do one super duper hot water wash about every 1.5-2 days. Never did all the extra washes except for prepping new prefolds. Ik it’s not “the way” but in two years I haven’t run into any issue doing the single hot wash 🤷‍♀️

    Alva baby diapers question.

    @calape52 I’ve heard fleece works really well as an in between layer - a lot of people cut up cheapie Walmart blankets and use them like a liner (as in, baby poops toss it baby pees wash it). Ik there’s different types of fleece but haven’t gone down that rabbit hole enough to know which repel...

    Alva baby diapers question.

    @calape52 If they’re the microfiber inserts that came with them you don’t really want that touching the baby’s skin as it can be irritating.

    Alva baby diapers question.

    @dianes It’s so you can double them once baby needs more absorption. You can also use all sorts of other things to add absorption too - hemp/bamboo/cotton inserts are all great! Check Facebook BST groups to get a big batch secondhand for a lot less than new ☺️
