Am I doing something wrong? Is it because he's walking? Do I need to size up to brown edge GMDs? Do boingos work better?

My husband told me I should take leave work earlier so I can get ready for the little one and just relax. Such a good guy. I've slowly been putting together the nursery and buying the odds and ends. But I was hoping I could get some advice on a few little things.

I'm planning on using cloth wipes, and was wondering what everyone uses for wipe solution? I'm thinking about putting the solution in a spray bottle, and using dry wipes.

I was also wondering what everyone's recommendations are for CD safe Diaper Rash Cream, and where you buy it from?

Cloth diapers, which can save new parents thousands of dollars each year in diapering costs, are an appealing option for parents looking to save money and reduce waste. Cloth diaper services allow parents to reap the rewards of cloth diapering without having to manage the uglier side of the practice: laundering the dirty diapers. So, by taking this thought I want to know that how to start a cloth diaper service.

Thanks a lot!

Becoming a mom does not mean you have to become dowdy, unfashionable and old-fashioned. If the idea of wearing a traditional diaper bag gives you the willies, there are plenty of alternatives that you can use instead. Although your baby might not agree in another 10 years, you are still cool and fashionable now and can have the diaper bag to prove it.

Large Purse:-

Instead of purchasing a bag made specifically for moms with babies, buy any bag that catches your eye. The best material for a diaper bag is something washable or water resistant so that it doesn't collect stains, so avoid delicate materials, such as suede.Accessorize the inside of the bag yourself to make it equipped for your baby's needs. Purchase a small, travel-size changing pad in a color that matches your bag, as well as a travel wipes case. You might also want a bottle insulator, pacifier pouch and small zippered bag for wet items, such as an outfit that got dirty.

Backpack:-

For a mom on the go who prefers a two-strapped bag to the less practical one-shoulder diaper bag, use a standard backpack instead. Almost any backpack will do because they are usually made from washable, stain-resistant material and are roomy enough inside to fit all of your baby's needs.
Like the purse, your backpack can be filled with cases and bags to organize your baby's things, such as bottles, wipes and diapers.

Clutch:-
If you like to travel light and the thought of a heavy diaper bag makes you feel weighed down, you can use a clutch instead. This works best if you are nursing, so you do not need to include formula and bottles, and if you won't be out for a long time.Fill a clutch with just the essentials, such as one diaper and a few wipes wrapped in a plastic bag. If your baby takes a pacifier, clip it to his shirt and attach any toys to his stroller or car seat.

Stroller Basket:-
One way to travel bag-free is to utilize the basket underneath your baby's stroller. This handy tool is a wonderful way for moms to store everything you might need without having to carry a diaper bag along. Fill the bottom of the stroller with diapers, wipes, an extra outfit, burp cloths, pacifiers, bottles and some toys and keep them there to be used when needed. Choose items that you won't miss in the house, such as an outfit that you don't particularly like, and keep them there at all times so you are always ready to go without having to pack up.

Thanks a lot!

He's 10 months 22 lbs and I have them on the middle rise snaps with 4 snaps in between.

I chg before and after naps and once in between - so every 2 hours at least.

The leak usually occurs in the crotch- out the leg. Though at nap time it's up the tummy(he's a tummy sleeper). often the PUL is wet around the legs, and the stretchy fastener part.

The insert can get bunched up at the crotch or the folded part wiggles down out of the inner fold(if that makes sense)

They seem to be absorbing, but oftentimes the back of the insert is still dry when it's leaked.

I haven't ever stripped them.

I use tide free & clear.

Is it just a bad fit now that's he's more mobile? (Though I know several toddlers who do great with flip system. ) how would I prevent bunging at the crotch?

Should I strip to see if that's the problem even though the test seems to show they're absorbing?

I want to love my Flips again! Any suggestions are appreciated:)

Newborn stage:
-3 dozen newborn prefolds
-4 Newboen proraps covers
-3 Rumparooz newborn covers
-2 Snappi's

Until potty training:
I received these diapers, used, from a friend. I still need to strip them as she was having hard water and build up problems towards the end, and thus had to switch to disposables.
-6 Goodmama
-3 Flip Covers
-4 Katydid pockets
-1 Bum Genius
-1 off brand pocket (can't remember the name)
-2 size Large Dream Eze

These are the diapers I have/am thinking of purchasing
-6 Bum Genuis
-6 Rumparooz

That brings me to 24 one sized diapers

Accessories
-30 sherpa cloth wipes (is this a good number?)
-CJs butter diaper rash cream
-Country Save laundry detergent (I can buy this locally, I can save on shipping)
-Kissaluvs Diaper Lotion Concentrate (I plan on using a spray bottle and dry wipes)
- 1 Small or medium wetbag (from the above mentioned friend)
-1 Wet bag or pail liner...would it be better to use a pail liner or an XL wetbag for in home use?

Thank you for your help and input!

We have fuzzibunz pockets and happy heinys but they just seem so bulky (coming from disposables). Is this just something that you adjust to?]]> http://allaboutclothdiapers.com/forum/discussion/143/liquid-tide Fri, 22 Jun 2012 16:02:51 -0400 JoyfulJ 143@/forum/discussions Am I wrong?
If I'm right then why exactly can we not use the liquid version?
]]> http://allaboutclothdiapers.com/forum/discussion/132/liners Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:08:47 -0400 MeiandLinsMom 132@/forum/discussions My baby is 4 months old and she will start solids soon and I know her poop will change and it won't be the easy to wash away breast milk poop.
See, I don't like to store the dirty diapers... dirty! I normally rise and almost wash by hand the prefolds, pocket shells and inserts before putting them in the diaper pail. So... this process is easier with breast milk poop, but with solids its a different story. I'm thinking maybe I'll make thing simple by using liners.
So the question is, Which is the best brand, do I use reusable or biodegradable?
Thanks! ]]>
