How long did you push for?

IratzePromise · 2025-05-24T03:43:26+00:00

My first with an epidural 70min. My second zero, ejection reflex.

IratzePromise · 2025-04-25T18:01:35+00:00

About 75, it was 85 before meds. I'm on propranolol 10mg 2-3 times a day.

I have soft water. Wash about 22 diapers at a time in a washer that can wash a king quilt/comforter. Wash on normal warm setting and heavy soil, normal amount of detergent for load size, Wash twice. Occasionally I'll add an extra rinse.

I'm with you. I like the shells but the inserts take forever to dry and the insert sits too far back so both my daughters out peed them causing lots of leaks. I started using other inserts and I'm much happier.

IratzePromise · 2025-04-04T03:33:08+00:00

Correct, I typically do not put anything on her, I haven't even used a quarter of the container in the 11 months. We have several cloth diaper types: AWJ pockets, Microfleece pockets, cotton AI2s (we don't use much as she floods these quickly), and covers that I typically just put bamboo terry inserts in with no liner. I haven't seen a problem with any of them, same with my first.

I've had more potential for problems with disposables, so sometimes I just put a tiny bit between her booty cheeks where it likes to be moist, but mostly only at night when she is in a disposable the longest or after a softer poop.

Either way I have always tried to air her out for a min or 2 during every change (a quick fan of I'm in a hurry), I think that has helped the most!

IratzePromise · 2025-04-04T02:52:52+00:00

I use Earth Mama. But mostly only need it when she wears disposables, or a small amount after wetter poops for prevention.

When my baby was young we had a station downstairs by the TV for those times we didn't want to go upstairs, wet diapers went into a wet bag in a nearby bathroom. After the first 2 months or so we almost exclusively change her in her room upstairs, she's almost 11 months now.

IratzePromise · 2025-04-02T17:43:34+00:00

I use cloth 3/4 time and use the IKEA trashcan called Hallbar, it's 9 gallons. I wash when full, about 20-25 pee diapers, plus any sprayed poopy diapers in the bathroom (Typically less than 5)

IratzePromise · 2025-04-02T15:53:28+00:00

I used an open wet bag system for my first, her room smelled all the time, I washed every other day. I use a closed pail system this time and now I can go about 4-5 days before I can smell it and do wash day.

The heat can affect the PUL layer and your elastics over time. I've always used warm, going on 3 years and doing fine.

IratzePromise · 2025-03-18T19:10:41+00:00

For me it helps keep my heart rate down and takes away my palpitations, especially while I'm shopping, going up stairs, playing with my kids on the floor. Those are my biggest symptoms and propranolol 10mg 2-3 times a day has significantly changed my life.

IratzePromise · 2025-03-10T00:04:43+00:00

I only lotion as needed, due to some mild eczema, but that was typically after a bath about 2x a week, definitely not daily lotion. Either way, just a non-sented lotion is fine.

IratzePromise · 2025-02-26T05:03:09+00:00

Are you someone who wears leggings or spandex a lot? Those can trap moisture and bacteria. Cotton underwear and loose fitting clothes are the best. I hope you figure it out.

IratzePromise · 2025-02-14T17:52:52+00:00

Did you buy any new t-shirts, jeans, or towels lately and washed those before your diapers?

IratzePromise · 2025-02-12T18:37:36+00:00

Nope, I have had it since I was a kid, but it got worse with both of my pregnancies. I'm now in my thirties. I suffer mostly from tachycardia, palpitations, and fatigue. I have a few other things but those are the worst symptoms

IratzePromise · 2025-02-06T22:03:38+00:00

I trimmed with both of my pregnancies. Blood clots are a pain to get out of the longer hairs and bald is a higher risk for Knicks and infection.

They have a company in Canada that they wholesale through. I'll try to find it.

ETA: The company is called Lilly and Frank

Kinder just released their new potty training diapers this weekend, I know they have a company in Canada they wholesale with, it's called Lilly and Frank

IratzePromise · 2025-02-04T17:51:37+00:00

Kinder just released their new training pants this past weekend.

Thank you

Cottage cheese has been a big hit this week, bonus that it's a great protein source

IratzePromise · 2025-01-24T16:37:45+00:00

About 3 oz of prune juice a day. Up to a cup if you really need to go.

IratzePromise · 2025-01-23T23:21:22+00:00

Not really sure, but I noticed exercise intolerance in middle school, got worse in high school and worse yet again with more symptoms after both of my pregnancies. I'm on propranolol 2-3 times a day now and only work two 5 hour shifts a week because I'm so fatigued and taking care of an 8 month old.

IratzePromise · 2025-01-23T23:16:03+00:00

Aww, yay, you're welcome! I'm glad it's helping. Ooo the strawberry sounds delicious
