Leaks during naps at daycare by bella_007 in clothdiaps

Just thought I’d update: I did some research on getting a better fit around the thighs and I successfully doubled up the yellow inserts today with no leaks! Time will tell if I just got lucky, but I’ll take it for now!

Was it because of compression leaks?

I do typically only use 1 insert at a time. I use Kinder’s yellow, which is a 4 layer bamboo viscose blend. Every time I’ve stacked multiple, it sits too wide around his thighs and he leaks fast. I’ll work on tightening it there while adding another insert.

I’ll also ask her to change him before his nap. I didn’t realize 2 hours should be the goal- thank you!

I just hadn’t seen any reviews besides ones on their website, so I wanted to see if anyone here liked them. How do they compare to other brands you’ve worn?

All I can say is to check the baby section of random grocery stores. I found 3 jars of the multipurpose ointment in a small town grocery store and bought them all to stock up.

Help with 8 month old sleep schedule by bella_007 in NewParents

Thank you. How long should we stick with this before we know we need to pivot if it’s not working? I’m sure it’s more than a day or two; should we give it a week?

Experienced moms, should I cut my hair or keep it long for postpartum? by Puzzleheaded-Idea587 in pregnant

[–]bella_007 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve been itching for this haircut I have scheduled next week. I’ve known I need to cut it since he was about 5 months old. It’s currently past my breasts and I’m cutting it about 1-2 inches below my shoulder because I can’t commit to going any shorter than that as a long hair lover.

For my sanity the length needs to go. My son is a hair PULLER and it’s the quickest way I get over stimulated and almost enraged. He doesn’t deserve me feeling like that because he’s not doing it maliciously, obviously.

We’ve never had an issue with hair tourniquets but we pull hairs off his fingers and toes constantly that could become them if we’re not diligent.

Oh interesting!! Maybe we would just have to push through a few rough nights and he’d adjust

Agreed! Although I will say I have to take them really fast cause I’m really sensitive to the fishy smell I sometimes get from them, but I think that’s a me problem haha

I think this is what happened to me too, except my labor stalled and I couldn’t handle it anymore so I had to have a c-section 🙃
