    Why do YOU use cloth diapers?

    @oa123 They also only address cotton fibers which uses like 4x the water as hemp. I really dislike “studies” like this one because while truthful, aren’t telling the whole story. Is it more environmentally friendly to use disposables if I live in coal country where the water is shipped in...

    Prepare me for the family battle...!

    @beverend Their opinion doesn’t matter. If they are interested, show them. If they aren’t, don’t. They don’t have to like your choice but they do need to respect that it’s not their choice to make. You do not have to defend your parenting choices. Whether it’s cloth, or sleep training, or...

    Anyone else experience this?

    @janimelody Thanks for posting this! My PA told me that it was 20% of women with mirena still get periods, but I just looked it up and you are right! It is the other way around! I have been thinking that I am still getting periods because I am too fat or there was something wrong with me, but...

    Am I asking too much?

    @athaddeus I see. Ive only seen them referred to as “pouches”. It looks like g-diaper as a brand refers to them as pouches as well. Calling them “gussets” makes me think you replaced the leg elastic. Im not trying to be nit picky, but that might be affecting your sales as well. I would change...

    Am I asking too much?

    @johnvesli I’d also think that the 50% retail price point would be for diapers in EUC. Not ones with stains and aftermarket repairs.

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @ametsam Because OP has been socialized to believe that an opposite gender parent can’t care for their child at an arbitrary age. The root is sexualizing children, whether or not they want to admit this or understand. There is nothing sexual about an opposite gender parent reminding a child to...

    Help a lazy Alva-pocket-diapering person graduate to something better for overnight?

    @morehimlessme Nickis bamboo fitted with an extra insert. Use the pockets you already have as a cover. Bam! Not too expensive and reusing the things you have.

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @innerwealth That’s a great example of how small accommodations could be made instead of refusing access to a community resource. The locker room at my YMCA has some brilliant moms (Im sure there are brilliant dads too but I’m only in the ladies room) who solve this stuff easily. They select the...

    Where’s your diaper station/cart located when you have a 2 floor home?

    @hmlarson001 I have a three story townhome. I have one diaper changing station. I didn’t want bags of used diapers on every floor.

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @momcares I think the part that bothers me about this isn’t even that people need to get over their issues with nakedness. I mean, they should, but more importantly is that the problem (individual adults personally not wanting to share a locker room with children) has the proposed solution to...

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @katie6 That just seems like a lot of rules and fuss to what end? A boy seeing a boob or a bush? A girl seeing a penis? Like that magically becomes traumatizing at 6 vs 5? The women in the locker room that don’t want to be seen do the towel trick (pull off suit and pull on undies under the...

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @katie6 I don’t really see why a dad couldn’t help their 5 year old daughter get dressed or shower or a mom can’t help her 5 year old son shower. You don’t always have the same sex parent available and/or don’t have a same sex parent at all. My wife and I can’t send our son into the men’s locker...

    Do you consider it "taboo" for a boy to see the diaper changing of his baby sister?

    @katie6 Genuinely curious because I have a 2 year old. Do you think your 5 year old would be capable of walking into a locker room by herself, keeping track of her stuff. showering, putting her clothes away, taking care of her towel, getting dressed and meeting you outside? I don’t personally...

    Cloth diapering toddler & infant?

    @gibbs41 i think it would be annoying snapping and unsnapping the rise settings if they didn't have separate stashes. if it were me, id divide them up by something obvious like solids for toddler and prints for newborn. (or whatever makes sense with OP's stash) and have one on my left and one on...

    Pre-pregnancy Blood Tests

    @midaso Thanks for the reminder! I scheduled my annual exam and they want me to go get labs done. I think I will email and ask if they should draw anything else!

    Experience with Thank U Mom brand?

    @jenniej I’m only seeing NB pockets when I search that brand. Anyway, unless it’s a high quality brand, the party line is not to pay more than 50% retail. These seem to be China cheapies(not a bad thing, just speaks to materials and longevity) Looks like Ali express sells a 10 pack for $50...

    Thirsties Sale at Green Mountain Diapers

    @rishley I very strongly dislike the hook and loop. we sold them after just a few months of use. something about the stitching... when they get full, like during naps, pee wicks through the front. Plus, by around 7 months, he could undo the velcro. snaps all the way!

    Turning Old Fitteds into Inserts

    @ntenda I cut up old receiving blankets to use as liners... if you already own a thing and it dosnt work for its intended purpose but you can up-cycle it to something that does work, I don’t see why not. Yes, I could probably find someone to use my old blankets. And you might be able to find...

    Pre-conception appointment overview

    @prelude4ws Thanks for posting this!! Especially the bit about the biopsies! I had an abnormal pap this past year and am dreading my next one. We opted for a wait and see approach because the dysplasia was so mild and there was no HPV. I am terrified that another abnormal pap this year and I am...
