    Forced to use disposables for a few weeks--WHY DOES ANYONE DO THIS?!

    @katrina2017 I don’t know! It’s so weird! We tried so many brands and they ALL had a weird smell - even before they got wet. It’s that sickeningly sweet perfume that I guess is supposed to mask the smell of waste? Bleh. Gross!

    Forced to use disposables for a few weeks--WHY DOES ANYONE DO THIS?!

    @randomelement I hate the smell of disposable diapers. I almost gagged thinking about it. I used them occasionally with both kids and despised it every time. My husband probably has PTSD from me complaining about it to him every dang time.

    Grovia O.N.E.s for night time?

    @sidiath We tried these for our daughter for a short time for overnights. She was just over a year old. They didn't work out for us. She's not a terribly heavy wetter, but the ONE just didn't cut it after about two months of use. I even went so far as to make my own inserts from hemp fleece...

    How to prevent red rash at waistline overnight?

    @jacksonstewart Sorry I posted this weirdly earlier: I got remnant fleece from Joann fabrics. It was hot pink but I did not care. Lol. Most CDers will say ‘microfleece’ but really as long as it’s polyester and allows liquid to pass through you’re good. Edit: words.

    How to prevent red rash at waistline overnight?

    @p4m3l4 If having him sleep through on the regular, and thus stay in a wet diaper, make sure you coat the affected area area generously in whatever moisture barrier you’re using. You can also cut a few pieces of fleece that are more ‘diaper’ or ‘hourglass’ shaped to protect that area from being...

    Ew, baby, your diapers STINK - Help me fix this!

    @c88c91 I hear ya. I had several bouts of barnyard and ammonia stink on prefolds in the past, and these things helped me fine tune my routine. You really don't need soap in a pre- wash since it's just to loosen poop and using too much in the wash cycle may not all rinse out. Even on a large...

    Ew, baby, your diapers STINK - Help me fix this!

    @c88c91 Try backing down the soap. Seems counterintuitive, but stay with me here. Cut out soap from pre-wash, lower amount of soap in main wash. If you are doing a regular load of diapers ( drum is half to 3/4 full) then line 1 in detergent should be enough, especially if you are using...

    I wish my husband hated his job so he would like us more

    @sophie0813 It is possible to have a job you love and love your family. That is exactly why my husband moved us to Europe. He gets to have both. It was important to him to get time with us. He made us his priority because he loves us. The problem here is your husband’s attitude. Personally...
