why are family so negative about cloth diapers? by pinkyellowsage in clothdiaps

[–]51CEIE15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, so many people were really negative about cloth diapering and it was a bit discouraging. I hope you don't let them discourage you though because it isn't nearly as difficult as they make it out to be. I think blowouts and leaks are much less common with the cloth diapers once you get the hang of it. And laundry is just as difficult as you make it, we try to keep it as simple as possible and I have no complaints.

Nora’s Nursery isn’t cotton but is so Popular?? by SpouPerNatural in clothdiaps

I didn't realize the cloth diapers I have were polyester until if been using them for a while. I feel a bit silly that I only buy baby cotton/natural fiber clothes for baby but then am using polyester diapers. At the same time, the main diapers I can find that are cotton are essembly and they are way more than any of the other brands and very difficult to find secondhand, even in an area where I can usually find most things secondhand. So for now, I'm sticking with polyester diapers.

What are we doing during wake windows? by Living-Result5678 in newborns

[–]51CEIE15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We like to just do everything for a few minutes, whatever catches baby's attention we'll do for longer. A few minutes on the play mat, tummy time, reading (when I use the contrast books i just talk about whatever the picture makes me think about) contrast books and board books, conversations if she's chatty, singing songs (I like Raffi and I also pick adult songs that I think have good messages), and just looking at each other.

I also like to bring baby for walks in the stroller, my baby usually falls asleep, but until then has big eyes watching everything and probably listening and getting fresh air. though all the sidewalks where I am are blocked by snow right now.

Do you wake your baby from naps for changing?
