It was just too much to worry about the first week, especially being at the hospital the first few days. Also we heard that the meconium from the first few days leaves impossible stains. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-270816 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 10:51:06 +0000 pastemoo 270816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5 days to flushable gDiapers, and a few weeks till we used the cloth (Small size). We only used the flushables in the newborn pants, and the cloth and flushies in the small and medium pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-270748 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:19:13 +0000 tysonja 270748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 weeks! We decided not to give ourselves any pressure and just waited until everything calmed down a bit. Also i was still doing things like reasearching the detergent I wanted to use and prepping the diapers etc when he was first born. We'll start a bit earlier for the next baby I'm sure, but take your time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-270739 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 09:09:40 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 270739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>about a week, we waited for the meconum to pass through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-270667 Sat, 25 Aug 2012 05:24:40 +0000 Chastenet 270667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made the switch just before she hit two weeks. Unfortunately LO developed some serious diaper rash after 48h in her BumGenius 4.0s, the pediatrician told us she thought it was an allergy to the cloth and to switch back to disposables :( The rash is clearing up now, and in a few weeks I'm going to try and gradually introduce the cloth diapers again. I REALLY hope she isn't allergic, I invested in 26 diapers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-270003 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:35:21 +0000 junebugmama 270003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at 3 weeks and then switched back. People might say it's the wrong reason to stop, but DS goes through about 17 diapers a day. Way too much to handle with 2 LO's and running a business from home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269988 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:25:47 +0000 woodentulip 269988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With our first, we started right away with a diaper service for six months, then switched to doing our own.<br /> With number two, we started on disposables and switched at about 1 month, once my stash of little disposables was just about gone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269978 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:22:57 +0000 HabesBabe 269978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I switched right around 3 weeks. LO was about 9 1/2 lbs when we switched. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269262 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 07:28:45 +0000 ohapostrophe 269262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269239 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 07:03:23 +0000 IcebergMom 269239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited until we moved into our new house... she was about 3 months. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269125 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 00:23:15 +0000 MsMini 269125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited 14 days, at which point his umbilical cord had fallen off and the base healed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269063 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:47:34 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 269063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4 days until we were sure all the meconium was gone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269048 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:31:30 +0000 sandy 269048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was scared to make the switch too bc disposables were so easy...so I think around 8 weeks I finally switched to gdiapers (flushable mostly in the beginning) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-269040 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:28:26 +0000 yin 269040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 months. I was afraid to make the transition and wanted to use up all the newborn diapers I bought. My LO was tiny (less than 6 lbs at birth), and he probably fit into his cloth diapers around 2 months. It took a while for me to prepare and transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268673 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:27:55 +0000 autumnlove 268673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268671 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:27:47 +0000 heffalump 268671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two weeks. She was a big baby and that's all it took for her to grow out of newborn diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268656 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:25:55 +0000 Weagle 268656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until about 4 weeks... once all of the visitors had come and gone. We still use disposables at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268234 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:48:45 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 268234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"ve been wanted to cloth diaper since way before I was even pregnant, but now that my little one is here, I've decided to wait til he sleeps more consistently, cuz I just am afraid of adding one more thing. Ahhh, the sleep deprivation....he's three months now and I'm hoping to take the plunge soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268222 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:42:16 +0000 duckduckkristen 268222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 days. We used newborn thirsties for about a month before switching to one size flips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268148 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:22:36 +0000 emahlee 268148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited till our LO met the minimum weight limit which was 8 pounds. Lucas was 7.5 at birth, dropped significantly in the first few days and then 8 lbs by week 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268099 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:02:32 +0000 loveisstrange 268099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until 2 1/2 months. We wanted to get a good routine and kind of get used to being parents before we threw cloth diapering in there too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268092 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:59:24 +0000 lovehoneybee 268092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We waited until the umbilical cord stump fell out, which was right around 2 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cders-for-those-who-used-disp-for-nbs#post-268083 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 17:56:55 +0000 mrsjyw 268083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How many weeks/months did you use disposables before you switched to CDs? </p>
