    What type of diaper to get?

    @wagingwar Mine is roughly the same size ish but has a few pounds on yours. If you use a rise snap (which I imagine you will because I’m still using one at 22 pounds, 34 inches) Nora’s nursery pockets should not rub on a G tube placement. Econaps are also a little pricey but they run smaller and...

    Keep it simple with Mama koala?

    @milliiard I don’t mind our mama koala at all. They’re roomier than other pocket diapers but didn’t fit my baby till she was way older so If you’re wanting to do cloth right out the gate bear in mind that there’s a chance they might not fit your newborn. They also kinda feel like they don’t have...

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @pokerfaceblonde Haha I truly don’t know why they need to seal things so tight??? But that would make more sense especially if the collar on the mason bottle is metal.

    Glass bottles keep cracking

    @pokerfaceblonde I’ve never had a glass bottle crack that wasn’t like dropped or slipped while doing dishes. I do know that my husband tightens things like he’s trying to have them never be opened again. Maybe it’s a man thing and he’s just tightening them too tight??

    How to dispose soft poop

    @phideltbeers We struggled with this for a long time. The disposable liners didn’t even really help because it was so soft. If I could contain it in the liner I would just put whatever I could into a tiny trash can with a lid. However I honestly just had to spray them. I also use inners...

    Lead content in baby puffs and cassava based foods

    @torn12 RaisingWellKids on insta went into this and basically said take it with a grain of salt but had an interesting view point, it may still be on her stories. She also said she would reach out to Serenity Kids to see if they were going to do any additional third party testing. But I have...

    1 year old bday gift

    @ejfan291 We got ours a pikler triangle climbing set but truthfully she’s now almost 18 months and just starting to become interested. She was way too nervous and not interested in it but it may just be that I don’t have a climber baby because they’re recommended for first birthday gifts all the...

    What's your 1 nap schedule?

    @robwebb We had the same issue of super late bedtimes to accommodate the second nap and it was throwing everything off, around the same age too. She also wasn’t napping well, and now that she’s on one nap she naps for longer than with two total. She is about a week shy of 18 months and this has...

    Best Hygiene Products for Newborns

    @computergal Dreft is pretty bad especially when it’s made for babies, using anything unscented will probably be fine without having to get baby specific detergent. We use grab green baby detergent but I just always have and have been happy with it. Pipette has great options for soap, even...

    How often to change and machine cycle questions

    @wallaceb45 Thank you so much! That seems promising that they’re fitting him at still at a standard newborn weight! I’ll snag a few more then. They are also bulky on my toddler (23lbs) with both inserts. I think it’s just the thickness of the insert. She definitely has a bubble butt with both...

    How often to change and machine cycle questions

    @wallaceb45 With brand new babies it’s more often - I’d go for what you’re doing plus checking every now and then in between feeds to see if he’s wet. Unfortunately there’s no magic way you just gotta kinda stick your hand in here and see. Otherwise we do about 90 to 120 minutes with our toddler...

    Prince Lionheart + cloth wipes - bacteria concerns?

    @egram The mold you’re talking about via the orange spots is from the bacteria Serratia marcescens, it’s the same bacteria that grows the orange/pink scum in areas like the shower/tub or bathroom areas. It is essentially harmless as it lives on human skin, however I wouldn’t want to be willingly...

    Pocket Diaper Leaking

    @osh This happens to us with pocket diapers if I don’t change my 12mo in less than 2 hours. 2 hours is the absolute maximum length of time before she starts leaking also around the legs, so I typically keep it around 90 minutes but that leads me to believe it’s an absorbency issue. You could try...

    Very hard water folks - what do you use for powder detergent?

    @defoehorses I’ve seen that about borax too, but unfortunately the alternative (mineral build up, or diapers not getting clean enough because of such) with water as hard as ours is virtually worse. I sadly learned the hard way, it was burning my poor baby’s skin and it took me quite awhile to...

    Very hard water folks - what do you use for powder detergent?

    @defoehorses Well okay you’re right borax is just sodium tetraborate, and even the most popular or well known brand 20 Mule Team Borax does not have any scent or fragrance listed on the box. I used that until I found the Charlie’s hard water treatment but the ingredients are indeed different -...

    Diaper rash is inevitable

    @cathya We were much more rash prone in disposables than we are now in cloth. If she gets a rash now it’s always circumstantial - traveling and in disposables, sneaky, looser poop during sleep times that I didn’t know about, teething (idk why it gives her a rash but it does, literally every time...

    Very hard water folks - what do you use for powder detergent?

    @defoehorses I use Biokleen powder, but I have to add borax to every load or I’ll end up with mineral build up, I learned the hard way. Our water is just as hard as yours. I use Charlie’s brand of borax, it does not have a scent.

    Switching to fitteds (Esembly) at 8 months old?

    @lcnolen2022 I feel the opposite, esembly is super super bulky on my mobile 9 month old. You can see her kinda shift her butt around when she sits and you can tell she’s like sitting on a wad, she protests the esembly diapers but doesn’t with pockets. The more she moves around the more they seem...
