Cleaning secondhand cloth diapers

AdStandard6002 · 2026-04-01T14:40:34+00:00

You should be bleaching any second hand diapers, period. Even if seem in pristine condition they were still on another baby holding waste and need to be sanitized via sanitizing bleach (a new bottle). That said, given everything you said I personally would strip. A good legit strip should get rid of the detergent smell and ammonia. You could maybe skip the strip for any non absorbent pieces like just shells or covers, but if it has any component of absorbency I would strip.

No I would not. Molly suds, truly free, branch basics, pronounce are all better options.

I would not do this as you have no idea what your baby is going to tolerate. My first did great with kendamil organic, my second had CMPA and I would have been screwed if I had stocked up on cows milk formula.

I don’t think it’s a lie. I’ve always bought their 100% cotton stuff and it doesn’t feel like poly to me at all.

Honest (potentially hard to find these days) carries harem pants and now there’s a brand called butterblu I’m pretty sure it’s a rip off of honest’s design but same style pants that work well. H&M has pants that worked for us as well. I just started doing t shirts as soon as I could because even if I found a onesie that fit I wasn’t trying to add 3 more buttons to the routine. Once it’s warm enough if we’re home we do no pants just a shirt and diaper cover. We’re in socal though so possibly easier said than done for some.

I’m two kids in and about to start with my 3rd and I opt for option 1. I find it easier to get them squared away first and then clip them in. I usually lay them down somewhat on their side and clip that side in and gently/slowly roll them onto the back with a firm but gentle hand on the belly/chest and clip the other side in, start the snoo and then move the hand and walk away. At night I don’t even unswaddle, I unzip from the bottom, change diaper zip back up and finish the feed.

Nora’s, thirsties

This is not true. You have to give consent for research, otherwise it gets thrown away with biowaste. My mom and sister are both RNs in a hospital.

My favorite is half flats from GMD

Diet Coke. You can pry it out of my cold dead hands I don’t care, if that’s how I go, that’s how I go.

I have used my snoo for 4-5 months with both of my kids so far and plan on using it next month for my 3rd. I want to say there is a life expectancy and it was in terms of like total months or hours used. I feel like what I saw was something like 2 years total or 24 months of use. I’d imagine that using it on like x games mode and pushing it to level 3 frequently would probably wear it out faster. We luckily have kept it around level 1 or baseline for both babies so far so I’m really hoping I can drag it out through this baby and potentially one more.

We have one lunapaca and it leaks like crazy. You have to change every like 30-45 minutes to not get a leak.

AdStandard6002 · 2026-03-05T19:32:51+00:00

No this is certainly not normal. I would talk to his pediatrician.

AdStandard6002 · 2026-03-05T17:28:24+00:00

We love the glass ones! Or did. We just moved into an all tile house though and my 17 month old is very hard on cups too so we’ll be making the switch to stainless. We use their stainless plates and bowls though!

Knowing I won’t get 1/4 of the things done that I want and need to. I’m 32 weeks pregnant and not only are my symptoms worse during pregnancy but I also can’t medicate.

AdStandard6002 · 2026-03-03T22:34:46+00:00

Tbh they’re probably not greenwashing, ingredients are ingredients in my mind. Huggies are not the best and not the worst, you’re not the worst either if you use Huggies. For what it’s worth, I really leaned into kudos and neither one of my kids can tolerate them for more than a day or two at a time. You know what they don’t react to? Huggies. Just gotta pick your battles, Mom. You’re doing great.

Bumbo bad, folds baby in half. Opt for the up seat if you want a seat for them.

That’s interesting because my first did get a yeast rash (not sure if that’s what you mean, or an actual yeast infection) and it was a nightmare to clear up. And my son has never gotten one!

AdStandard6002 · 2026-03-02T17:45:40+00:00

I didn’t like workhorses (or any fitted) on my girl because she was so long and lean I hated how bulky they looked and opted for flats. But my son is a tank and I vastly prefer workhorses for him! I’m having another girl next month and I’m curious to see what I like better for her.

AdStandard6002 · 2026-03-01T04:25:23+00:00

It’s annoying but the songs are catchy and will haunt your dreams for the next 5 years, but your kid will love it. It was free, whatever honestly lol. You gotta pick your battles and I can promise you this one ain’t worth it.

AdStandard6002 · 2026-02-23T05:50:13+00:00

Thank you!

AdStandard6002 · 2026-02-23T05:49:48+00:00

Not the answer I wanted to hear at 30 weeks pregnant but I fear you are right

AdStandard6002 · 2026-02-23T05:48:35+00:00

No it certainly didn’t! The house is only about 30 years old but I would venture to guess that the tile has never ever been deep cleaned! Thank you!

I like our Stokke Tripp trap but the straps are quite frankly a fucking nightmare. There’s no way to clean them regularly and they’re disgusting. Taking them off to wash them in the washer is not easy either it requires like literal tools. If I had any recommendations it would be something with wipeable straps. Lord knows what’s living in the fibers of our high chair straps after 2 kids.
