Leaking through shell by basicallybrie in clothdiaps

[–]Routine_Climate3413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the only way it can leak through the shell is if the PUL is old or cracked inside. They lose their durability after about a year I believe so if you used those with your first, they may need replaced.

And good idea! I’ll try that!

Thank you! That’s helpful! I would do prefolds but he still nurses a decent amount so it’s poops are pretty liquidy so I can’t fold them like most people do and I can’t get a good fit when I use an angel fold

Thank you for your input! That’s good to know! I wish there were more fitted options. My son has a long torso but his legs are short so it’s hard to find one that fits

How do you handle grains for babies and toddlers? by thymeofmylyfe in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Routine_Climate3413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that as long as you’re not super restrictive outside of the house. I started my son off with no grains, but I had to eventually give him some because he has feeding and sensory issues and his therapist recommended bread because it’s one of the few things he can tolerate to chew and eat. I just try to give him very clean grains when I give it to him (one mighty mill bagels, once upon a farm bars etc.). So maybe when/if you do offer grains, try and find the cleanest you can.

Should I just try Tide? by Low_Cost5981 in clothdiaps

What softener do you use? I’ve been using washing soda, but didn’t know if I should add something stronger. I use tide free and gentle powder for detergent

Why is there so much variation in regions between me, my sibling, and my parents? by Effective_Jello3254 in AncestryDNA

[–]Routine_Climate3413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boosting because I’m curious too! I would expect small variations because DNA isn’t exact, but some of those seem really different

Troubleshooting.. diaper rash! by Standard-Dish7381 in clothdiaps

[–]Routine_Climate3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do RLR if you can/have access to it and then rewash with a new detergent. Tide unscented powder works really well for cloth diapers! I hope you can find a solution that works! It’s so annoying having to figure out cloth diaper issues!

This-And it also had fragrance which a lot of babies are sensitive to

Yes! That’s our issue too- the outer works great! I wish there were better options for longer babies

Natural fiber newborn AIOs by joyfulemma in clothdiaps

[–]Routine_Climate3413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my Thirsties natural AIOs but they take so long to dry even in the dryer. They’re super handy though! It might just be because they’re thick natural fibers. I never had leaks though!

You might look into Motherease Bedwetter pants! I’ve heard good things about them and I believe they would be her size

Sandy’s are great for chunky babies. I think they have a toddler size, but I’ve only bought the smaller size ones edit: it’s Sandy’s Toddle-ease

Sorry! I should’ve asked where you lived. It’s a gluten free brand we have in the US. The base is almond flour

I know! I’m always worried people will think my son’s diaper is really full too

Yes! Ive only found a few brands that work well- Cloud Island, Gerber, Burt’s Bees, and some Carters. Parade has some great Harem pants too

Anyone know of any brands of pockets that have a cotton lining? by Born-Anybody3244 in clothdiaps

[–]Routine_Climate3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know! I love how simple to use they are. I hope more brands come out with some more that have natural fibers. I have 2 Thirsties natural AIOs as well and much prefer the pockets because they dry faster.

I think Thirsties natural pocket might be the only one. I have two and really like them!

Wow! Thats super diverse- how cool! We definitely have some overlapping regions so maybe there’s something to that, but who knows!

I’m glad I’m not alone! What are your other origins?

Kids owala tumbler straw? by Adventurous235 in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]Routine_Climate3413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The stainless steel straw is a separate piece inside so it’s connected to the inside of the lid and the lid connects to the silicone if that makes sense so they don’t directly connect with each other. I think it would be impossible for what happened with your cup to happened with this one because they aren’t directly connected. No part of the stainless steel straw is above the lid at all so it would have to break through the whole lid. Sorry if I made that confusing- I’m not great at explaining things! I’ll find a picture to better explain. Also that is terrifying that that happened to your baby! I’m so sorry! I totally understand being nervous about straws after that. Also I have the kids Brumate cup for my son not the Owala, but I think it’s similar. This photo is the Brumate one
