I'm starting to get all the kids stuff together to pack and don't know if we'll have room to pack cloth diaper and cloth wipes. Plus, DS is peeing out of his NB CD's at night so I definitely didn't want to pack newborn and OS diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395168 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 18:37:57 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2395168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm impressed you're even considering it! We used disposable diapers for both a long road trip &amp; an airplane trip, both 7-10d trips &amp; both times staying with family. For the 2nd trip I had to return 1 bag of unopened diapers b/c they ended up being too small, so I was glad to have just gotten what we needed for that trip once we got there. CDs just seemed like too much laundry &amp; stuff to stage since we were just changing LO on the floor in our room or the living room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395131 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:43:55 +0000 Veggiemama 2395131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: oh good! Just thought I would mention it as I was completely caught off guard and had to change my whole plan. I ended up having diapers shipped there from Amazon so I didn't have to pack so many. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395129 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:36:21 +0000 BSB 2395129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: ohhhh... I have flip with disposable inserts. But I have transitioned the twins to one sized diapers yet. </p> <p>@Veggiemama: I'm staying at my sister's. She has never CD'd before but my other sister does CD. I would assume my sister has washed her diapers at least once at my other sister's house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395127 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 16:27:38 +0000 MsMini 2395127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS we used to pack along CD for all of our driving trips but no flying trips. With DD we use disposables for all trips, I am just less idealistic about it all now LOL. I think there is a place for both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395116 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 15:56:07 +0000 Veggiemama 2395116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the person you're staying with okay with you washing cloth diapers in their washing machine? I mentioned bringing them on a trip with family and my family member was mortified that I would wash the diapers at her house.</p> <p>Otherwise if you have a good routine down I think it's totally doable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395111 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 15:41:10 +0000 birdofafeather 2395111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peachykeen: we used flip covers over disposables and it saved us a couple times from having a blowout while camping/hiking! I recommend that for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395096 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 15:07:18 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2395096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for disposables while traveling. You're going to be on vacation with babies, you won't want to be doing any more laundry than necessary! Plus, there's a learning curve to changing cloth diapers, so you may be offered less help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395067 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 13:43:18 +0000 erinbaderin 2395067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we traveled for anything more than about 5 days, we just went with disposables for simplicity and ease of packing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395038 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 12:57:29 +0000 BSB 2395038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: yeah, we will be going straight to a house. </p> <p>DS is actually between newborn and OS diapers. Though, I think I found a way to increase absorbency in the NB size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395029 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 12:38:12 +0000 GreenThumb 2395029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always done disposables when traveling overnight. I get stressed out traveling with LO as it is, so I don't need any additional work when we are out of town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395018 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 12:13:26 +0000 PawPrints 2395018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Disposables when we travel. We do a lot of activities and moving around when we travel and so don't want to deal with washing and drying all the time, plus the space they take up in the suitcase. Buying one pack of disposables is pretty cheap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395005 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 12:00:56 +0000 autumnlove 2395005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for a few roadtrips for LO 1 but we haven't used cloth away from home/school for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2395002 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 11:57:12 +0000 peachykeen 2395002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES if we're driving and have access to laundry at our destination. I've used disposables several times while flying and they are so much less dependable with leaks. I've actually considered bring a couple covers on our plane trips to put over the disposable, haha, but haven't tried that yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394986 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 11:11:47 +0000 hony bologna 2394986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are pretty protective of our daughter's sleep and it took ages to find diaper solutions that worked for that, so we bring her overnight and naptime cloth diapers when we travel. We do disposables for the rest of the time though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394981 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 11:03:25 +0000 birdofafeather 2394981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also determined our stash took up too much space after multiple trips to family bringing it all. We switched to disposables for travel and it's pretty simple. If you're visiting family, I would just have diapers delivered there. </p> <p>If you have the space and depending on how many diapers you go through, it might not be a big deal to bring them all for the twins though because a two week trip and Twins is a lot of diapers! With disposables, you have space back on the return trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394971 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:53:19 +0000 Anya 2394971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. I think of using cloth diapers as similar to using dishes. Would it be easier and more convenient to eat all my meals off of paper plates? Sure, but I don't do that, I wash my dishes every night. However, there are still certain times when it makes sense to use disposable plates, and there are times it makes sense to use disposable diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394967 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:46:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2394967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't. Sounds like too much work! We're planning to use disposables when traveling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394951 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:08:56 +0000 youboots 2394951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll chime in too. When we travel- disposables all the way. It's so much work to care for cloth diapers out of my element. I'm lazy when I travel with the kidlet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394949 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 10:05:48 +0000 Mrs. Lion 2394949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use disposables when traveling, but if I was set on cloth I would bring it all for that long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394921 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 09:14:34 +0000 blackbird 2394921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I typically but disposals upon arrival. A whole diaper stash takes up a suitcase! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394919 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 09:11:31 +0000 MamaCate 2394919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have just done disposables on anything longer than an overnight trip. For me, it was overwhelming enough to get my baby and myself across the country, so I sent a box of disposables to my parents house via Amazon. It depends on what you think will work for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394904 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 08:33:31 +0000 Banana330 2394904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope I wouldn't, especially if i'm flying anywhere </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394884 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 06:55:29 +0000 brownepiano 2394884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I do, but I don't think they are that complicated... I bring my hangers for drying, detergent, wet bags and diaper cream (coconut oil). We don't have a sprayer. I pretty much even just bring the containers we store stuff in at home, so I can set up when we arrive. If you are operating out of one base for two weeks it shouldn't be that much different even with day trips. I would find it more work to figure out how many disposables I need!</p> <p>I should add though that I am pretty comited to not buying disposables after all the money I spent on cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394881 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 06:19:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2394881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you going straight to a house? Or will there be multiple days of events and traveling. </p> <p>Honestly even just the space that diapers take up is a lot. Plus trying to travel with kids is tough. So one less thing makes sense </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-take-your-whole-cloth-diaper-stash-for-a-two-week-trip#post-2394878 Sun, 20 Dec 2015 04:41:07 +0000 BSB 2394878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll have access to a washing machine.</p> <p>Do I bring everything I use on a regular basis?</p> <p>I don't know if I'll bring my diaper sprayer. </p>
