They are made by the same company who makes Kroger's Natural diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering/page/2#post-245511 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:48:19 +0000 HabesBabe 245511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I bought a few Lotus Bumz from a deal site... Looking forward to trying then when we start CDing! They look pretty similar to BG 4.0s. Any tips? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering/page/2#post-245486 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 17:29:25 +0000 lkristine7 245486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love it! LO is 7 1/2 months old and we've been cd'ing him since his circ healed and his cord fell off. We use bg 4.0's, elementals, dinkledooz and charlie bananas. We also have 2 bamboo fitteds that we sometimes use for night time inside a flip cover.<br /> We do laundry every 2 days.<br /> He's bf and ff and the diaper laundry hasn't gotten any scarier, he's also on solids now. I was dreading the smell of solid diapers but honestly, I think solid poops in disposables smell worse.<br /> My husband loves cloth diapers and changes a majority of them, he also sprays, stuffs and launders them! :)</p> <p>We also chose cloth for cost and health reasons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245425 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:35:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 245425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Agreed! He's never had a splosion so that is a consolation. At one point I was doubling inserts during the day and that seemed to solve the problem - but then none of his clothes fit! Maybe I should try some hemp inserts... but I've already spent sooo much $$ trying to make them work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245373 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:13:46 +0000 pastemoo 245373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Mine, too! He pees through ANYTHING. Luckily he only poops through disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245311 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:40:52 +0000 sulli301 245311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it 95% of the time, sometimes when I use Gro-Via diapers on vacations, etc I think it is so much easier or if she has a large poop &amp; it's messy in her cloth....but I really love cloth &amp; wouldn't change to disposables! I actually find stuffing &amp; putting away the fluff laundry to be relaxing &amp; don't mind that part at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245304 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:37:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 245304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: Oh, I did too! I did sooo much research. I even went to a cloth diaper store to check them out. I read reviews from at least five different websites before choosing a diaper. I even bought two stashes to be sure I liked at least one.</p> <p>I dunno... must be my kid because EVERY diaper I have ever tried leaks on him. EVER diaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245303 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:37:05 +0000 autumnlove 245303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Superhero: What brand do you use? :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245299 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:35:05 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 245299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. I'm cheap so I hate spending money on disposables, it just feels like throwing money away when I already have my diapers. This time of year I like how they look when she's in only a onesie, feels like part of her outfit.</p> <p>I'm happy I did a lot of research before picking my diapers, because I've seen quite a few brands that I think would have made me crazy.</p> <p>Oh, and the laundry is no big deal to me, but i don't have to stuff mine and I don't do anything fancy in the wash. I just chuck them in and push all the buttons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245291 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:26:56 +0000 Mrs. Pen 245291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: aww that is so unfortunate :( I'm so sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-245271 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:19:22 +0000 autumnlove 245271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsHotDog: I have the organic pads that snap into the shells. The pads just get so stiff and seem really uncomfortable for my LO.... I tried stripping them but they still feel like cardboard!</p> <p>I also bought the Grovia diaper rash stick and my LO had a skin reaction. I tried it again after the rash went away and she had the same reaction. I called their customer service since it was a $14 stick and they basically told me tough luck and blamed it on the way I wash my diapers. I asked if I could send it back for a refund or store credit and they refused, they said it was opened so they could not resell it.. I will never buy another Grovia product again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244272 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:53:04 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 244272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE it! I hate sposies, they're always leaking. I do all the laundry and DH does all the stuffing. </p> <p>I got rid of all the diapers I found to be too fussy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244271 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:52:06 +0000 mrs. bird 244271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: which ones are you using now instead of honest? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244269 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 21:46:06 +0000 MsMamaBear 244269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes I love it! I even like washing them, but NOT stuffing them! I used to use Honest diapers for daycare, til I found some healthy ones on Amazon I like. You'll love them!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244248 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:58:39 +0000 Weagle 244248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really am enjoying CDing, but there are times when I just don't want to deal with it. I allow myself to take a break when I get weary of the cloth. Like today, for example. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244240 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:47:09 +0000 cvbee 244240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: @Coco Bee: thanks, I'll look into these fitted things you both speak about. So much to learn about in cloth diaper land. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244202 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 20:12:00 +0000 sandy 244202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use gdiapers and do a mix of cloth and flushable inserts. I love that I can use both. When we went on vacation we just used the flushables and it was so easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244127 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 19:05:18 +0000 Tidybee 244127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping to love it! I told a few people at work today that I plan on CDing and they all looked at me like I was nuts. One woman said I wouldn't last a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244117 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:46:27 +0000 kgbee 244117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it! And we're one of those "disposables for nighttime" people; it's only one a day and it saves me from going through twice as many diapers--the bug can soak through 3 cloth bums a night, easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244055 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:09:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 244055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I have looked into getting a fitted for nighttime. They cost a bit (about $20/diaper) but they are sooo absorbent. I haven't used one personally, but if you get one in bamboo and especially hemp, then you would probably never have a leaking problem.</p> <p>@MrsHotDog: I have the hybrids and I just don't like the AI2 system. I also have two AIO's and I do really like those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244051 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:07:16 +0000 immabeetoo 244051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cocobee try diaperswappers.com or search facebook for fuzzibunz b/s/t to try and sell!</p> <p>hoping we love CDing but no input yet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244046 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 18:05:08 +0000 MsMini 244046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: I use bamboozles fitteds with a flip cover at night, Sawyer only about 1/2 soaks it, even over 11 hours. I wouldn't have bought them myself, but I got them free from my SIL, and they are really handy night diapers (but a little bulky, so I never use them during the day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244031 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:57:39 +0000 cvbee 244031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm loving them, especially now that we went over our future budget and the baby pretty much costs us no money. (Breastfed and cloth diapered). </p> <p>Re: favourite diapers, ours is BG and we also dislike FB, but mostly because they are annoyingly small to stuff (and I even have long skinny hands). We had a newborn stash, and then bought one of about 5 different brands, which we used every now and then as he was growing out of the newborn stash. That helped us to decide what brand to get for the rest of the stash. </p> <p>I'm worried that when he's not EBF that I'll start disliking it. We do have a diaper sprayer for when that time comes, but I'm still worried. </p> <p>I do laundry every 2 or 3 days. I only have 2 overnight soaker pads, so if I wait for the 3rd day, i'm asking for a leak for sure, even if I double-stuff.<br /> I'm also worried that he'll pee too much overnight one day. He's only 3 months, and already fully soaks a BG liner plus a soaker, so we get leaks overnight about once a week, and I'm thinking he might start leaking every night. I'm worried that I'll be one of those 'sposies for night time' people.</p> <p>I did use 2 packs of newborn diapers in the hospital (we were in for a while). And then I gave the other one I was gifted to a friend. I was going to use sposies when we went on a road trip, but DH insisted that we just ask to use the laundry room of the people we were staying with. So, other than the hospital, we still haven't used disposables. And I had a diaper cake given to me, so I have lots of sposies kicking around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244003 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:44:54 +0000 MrsHotDog 244003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What Grovias did y'all try but didn't like? I love mine. And I love CDs but I do laundry every three days. It is the one load of laundry I don't mind doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-244000 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:43:13 +0000 heffalump 244000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I always just save them until a friend becomes pregnant for a diaper cake to take to the shower. Seems like there's always a shower to go to, and that way I barely have to spend money on the gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-243997 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:41:44 +0000 Mrsbells 243997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we love it , we use freetime by bum genius and they are great, they dry very fast and never leak. It was tough in the beginning but now I enjoy it; as soon as LO gets home from day care I rip of her disposable diaper and put on a cloth one. my only regret is not finding a daycare that accepted cloth diapers, so LO has to wear disposables at daycare.<br /> Also when we were doing cloth full time we only did laundry twice a week since we have 24 diapers, so it wasnt constant laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-243994 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:39:30 +0000 heffalump 243994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: health was what started me on cloth too. My mom always told me that she didn't want plastic touching my tushy, and that stuck with me. But now a days you can find good disposables, you just have to pay for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-243991 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:37:58 +0000 MsMini 243991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE CDing! We use disposables for travel (because I am too lazy to pack all the CD stuff for trips), and it drives me crazy how much poop gets on his clothes with disposables. I rarely have a pee leak (maybe every few days). I LOVE FB diapers, it is funny how different diapers work for different babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cd-mamas-do-you-like-cloth-diapering#post-243963 Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:05:41 +0000 pastemoo 243963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Bummer.<br /> @Baby Boy Mom: Cute. DH just goes with whatever since he changes less than 5% of the diapers. </p>
