We have two local friends that CD. We have half a dozen friends that live in other states that CD and I have a cousin that CDs her twins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1092172 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 10:45:13 +0000 swurlygurl 1092172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in KS. I was about to say that I don't know anyone IRL that CDs, but I just remembered a coworker that CDs. He and his wife have 10 kids though (oldest being 21, next oldest is 12!), so they have to cut costs where they can! She makes hers herself - talk about dedication! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1092158 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 10:41:50 +0000 bpcmarj 1092158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know one person IRL who CDs. My Mom did with her first 3 kids in the 80's/early 90s. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1092136 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 10:34:40 +0000 GrapeCrush 1092136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone IRL that CD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1091985 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 09:41:29 +0000 JerricaBenton 1091985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few non local friends who CD. No one I know locally does. In fact, I was changing LO in front of some moms my age and they didn't even know what they were. They thought they were just diaper covers. And they thought I was nuts lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1091712 Tue, 17 Sep 2013 08:12:19 +0000 ValentineMommy 1091712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I know 2 people IRL that CD. I love it and so does my DH. Luckily, it seems to be catching on around here - we now have 4 stores in our area that sells CDs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086452 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 21:02:37 +0000 tysonja 1086452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: oh! hehehe no definitely not easier than disposable. i just meant it's easier now to deal with cd'ing than it was when his poop was looser :) sorry i wasn't clear! :) i like using cd's but i still reallllyy love my sposies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086445 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:57:15 +0000 LittleFox 1086445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know two other moms who cloth diaper at least part time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086439 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:53:55 +0000 sarac 1086439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here in Portland it is really common. Probably half or more of the moms I know do it. I just stopped when she turned 2 because she asked me to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086434 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 20:47:14 +0000 skibobrown 1086434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live in Iowa, and while it's not particularly popular here, it is relatively popular in the circles I run with. I don't usually see random moms in the store or the doctor's office with cloth diapers, but I do see them a lot in my circle of acquaintances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086372 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:52:02 +0000 Pink Champagne 1086372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: weird!!! I'm in Seattle too, and I am the only one out of all of my friends who CDs. Everyone here looked at me like I had two heads when I told them I was CDing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086366 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:49:35 +0000 blackbird 1086366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have two friends IRL that cloth diaper. Our daycare won't use them but otherwise she's in them. DH thinks they're amazing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086346 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:28:41 +0000 Beebug 1086346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>CD is definitely the minority where I am. Sometimes I see a CD Mom at a playgroup and when diaper changing we'll sometimes chat, more often a sposie Mom will see my dipes and do 20 questions on them, like they want to take the plunge but think they're so much more complicated then they are and realize it when they ask some questions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086344 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:25:16 +0000 aprk 1086344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would drive me bonkers to switch back and forth between cloth and disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086341 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:21:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 1086341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know anyone locally who cloth diapers and I have a couple of Facebook friends who do. I saw a girl in a breastfeeding group with her baby in CDs (I recognized the fluffy butt thanks to hb!)</p> <p>I'm surprised so many of you know so many cloth diaperers. Boston is moderately "crunchy" but I just never see them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086332 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 19:11:47 +0000 Ash 1086332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems pretty common around here but I don't know anyone irl that does it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086314 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:52:12 +0000 autumnlove 1086314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them at home and daycare but I like disposables for extended errands and vacations. I don't know any friends who use cloth but several families use them at our daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086307 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:48:51 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1086307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister in law uses them. Another family at our daycare does as well. I also met some moms at yoga &amp; nursing group (and of course moms I meet at the cloth diaper store!) who do but I'd say he majority of families I know use disposables. </p> <p>As for "easier" than disposables; I think they're just not much more work &amp; I consider using cloth "easy". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086299 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:43:57 +0000 HabesBabe 1086299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: We did it until LO was 10 months! It wasn't "easier" than disposables, IMO, but it was good while it lasted! Most of the mommies at Granola Babies CD, so you prob saw some of them in action for the Great Latch On :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086297 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:43:27 +0000 tororojo 1086297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of facebook friends who do it, but they're not people I see regularly anymore. I cloth diaper at home and on easy or short trips, but I use disposables quite a bit as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086280 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:29:11 +0000 mrs. 64 1086280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my friends it's about 50/50. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086270 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:19:53 +0000 Running Elley 1086270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P.S. I definitely don't use them because I think they're easier than disposables...we use disposables on trips and I think that they are WAY easier than cloth. However, I do love using cloth and the money that I save doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086266 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:17:23 +0000 dojo 1086266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only have one friend who does. But I don't have many mom friends IRL. I thought that I would use disposables when we were out and about but it ended up being easier for us to CD all the time. I love my son's fluffy bum. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cloth-diapers-irl#post-1086256 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 18:12:19 +0000 stargal 1086256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope not common around d here at all. When I went to my first moms group I met one other person IRL that cloth diapers. It was exciting to meet someone else who does it BC a lot of ppl are grossed put or fascinated by it and yo me its just normal </p>
