@rdevotie I just padfold them, which is FAR easier but slightly more prone to getting poop on the cover which is why I have more covers on the list ETA if you padfold them you also don’t have to worry about them “fitting.” They will hold enough whether your newborn is 6lbs or 9lbs

@rdevotie It’s worth it if you plan to have more than one kid, or if you can resell quality items. If you just want a newborn diaper shopping list I can give you that 🙂 36 NB prefolds 6 Thirsties duo wraps size one 4 Clotheez size 0 covers 3 Thirsties NB NAIO 8 NB workhorses This is a bit of...

@claudiaramus I count it as fun money, except for projects like Halloween costumes or things for extended family. Also, my 3.5yo wanted to be a pink dinosaur this year too!! Just finished with tail and spikes 😃

@brad0037 I use workhorses but have to add additional doublers etc. at different ages. For a more “one stop” diaper I have bububebe sleepytime fitteds. I don’t need anything extra (except a cover)

@shabach67 You don’t have to wrap them around, just padfold them they will still absorb everything Idk what exact size they are but I prefer GMD Nicki’s bamboo ones were rather large, although still prefer GMD

@barry61 Dentist I do on Saturday’s and have them auto book me for every six months on a Saturday. Otherwise it’s booked out like 4 months in advance. Doctor I take my kids with me 🤷‍♀️

@jobob_0 Lol idk what part of my post made you think that, but no I did not “give him an ultimatum”

@morgannicole555 Even though 2-3 was the easiest transition, 3 is not easy I have 6, 4.5, and 2 and loving it. It is a lot easier when you have at least 1 in school. If we have 4, we will wait until the olders are in elementary and #3 has started preschool.

@ageofreason2014 Vinegar is an acid and eats away at rubber which is why it is not recommended with modern diapers — because of the effect on the elastic Fine to use with non-elastic diapers like flats or inserts

@esta25 No, sorry was unclear. He has S/S off he’s just over it by Sunday. He doesn’t want to do any activities, small or large. I gave bad examples. Park is a no, hike is a no, out to eat is a no. I could plan them and he would complain or begrudgingly go along, but honestly at that point I’d...

@ellyflowers I do your original thought — I buy used Natives on Mercari. You can’t beat the waterproof-ness, and ability to clean, especially considering sand and such. I also like they can put them on by themselves, whereas their merrells I have to put on. Worrying about plastic touching his...

@anthlee I disagree with PP. Seems like a fine amount of detergent with Tide original powder FWIW this is almost exactly the same as my wash routine and I use a ton of ONEs without issue. I don’t think it’s the hidden microfiber layer that’s an issue. IME it’s the microfiber inserts that come...

@anthlee What is your wash routine? Were the diapers purchased new or secondhand? Using cloth diapers for a few weeks isn’t typically long enough to know if your wash routine is sufficiently cleaning. My first was routine 5 years ago was horrible but I didn’t notice it failing until about 6...

@wvguy777 I have a 4, almost 3, and 7mo. I think there’s two parts that can make it more difficult — 1. When they’re together. Aka summer. It was a challenge with the 4yo out of preschool. So much screaming and fighting. 2. Depends on temperaments of the kids. My oldest and youngest are pretty...

@texmama Yes to the hardest part being all 3 of them together!!!! Soooo much fighting and screaming 😭

@tzephanyahu I’d blame half on me being too non-confrontational

@melindapurcell Don’t delete! I love the perspective from the other side. It definitely has exacerbated over the last year. Our 2nd born has been a disaster since birth and while we thought most issues would fizzle out with age (poor sleep, communication) they haven’t. The third born has a CHD...

@teenchill Thanks for your response. We don’t have that added family issue, but it sounds a little similar. Our issue to solving most problems is finding help, like caretakers, in a place we’ve only lived a few years (feels shorter bc covid).

@kurret Check out the sidebar, or this graphic is an easy way to compare the different types of diapers.

@sergepb I agree, and agree that my conflict avoidance is an issue and also destroying me
