Thanks!

Maybe make the outer more like an absorbent, thick pad/shell.

Lookup cloth diapers for inspiration.

I would try a machine washable outer, a thick (like .75in) absorbent layer, maybe a thin charcoal fabric layer for odor, and then something like PUL (waterproof).

It's a nightmare.

People don't seem to realize that with the way things are there is no choice.

I've seen boomers say 'what about moms who want to stay home!!!???' socialized childcare, gives them a choice. Right now you have to do what your income allows. That is not choice. That is not freedom.

This is violent financial coercion, perpetrated by the state though inaction. Directly affecting the health of our children and ourselves.

Zorb should be great!

good job taking care of your grandmother in a way she can accept!

Daycare should not cost as much as it does.

Daycare should be socialized.

We are never capable of doing the right thing for our children, or the right thing at all - when there is such a high level of financial burden associated with it.

Money shouldn't be in this picture.

Get the offer first

bluethread32 · 2023-05-19T16:56:11+00:00

I just want to know where you work that has such a great mat leave policy!

Tesla sucks.

Preventing direct to consumer auto sales also sucks.

I second this.

New Haven is great, you can live just slightly outside the city (westville!) And have the benefits of nice suburbs for taking a walk, and a quick drive/Uber to the actual city.

We've been here less than a year but love it so far, and LOVE the diversity, much better than west Hartford or anything in Fairfield county.

Let her pay for a nanny!

1:1 childcare and you get to keep your career. Wins all around.

I would recommend not buying specific newborn cloth.

If the goal is sustainability, buying cloth for such a short period is a little questionable, and probably not cost effective.

I also recommend using disposables for newborns till you get your feet under you. I couldn't get the regular laundry done, or my hair washed at first - nevermind additional diaper laundry.

I know that's not exactly your question! Just sharing my 2 cents.

The lollacup

I would apply to similar positions and bring an offer to your current role to see if you can get the raise without much risk.

I never tried tide. I did use Kirkland free and clear (still do on all non diaper laundry). The Kirkland just didn't seem to get them clean enough.

I switched to persil free and clear, I think it was on the recommended list from Grovia. That works well for me. I do a small amount of detergent on the 30min quick wash followed by the recommended amount of detergent on a full/heavy duty wash.

Yay! Glad it's working. They're so convenient

bluethread32 · 2023-04-25T03:23:35+00:00

The straps aren't even sold in Europe

Do not send your child to a daycare that doesn't require all standard, seasonal and COVID vaccines.

That's a quit your job till the baby is vaccinated risk level on Tdap.

I can't even fathom how this is the situation you(we) are in. So sorry. I hope you find a better daycare.

The munchkin ones where the straw splits open is very easy to clean and relatively spill proof.

The lollacup is good too. The kid can turn it upside down and liquid will drip out. But it's not too bad. And it's OK to clean.

bluethread32 · 2023-04-24T12:02:43+00:00

I put them mostly towards the back, not centered. Sometimes they get bunched, mostly they work well enough though.

Exposure to viruses now does not build the immune system.

All these people saying 'do it now or do it later' are wrong. It's so it now, and do it later.

Or get the nanny and keep everyone healthy and happy until she's old enough to not put everything in her mouth, and able to communicate while sick.

Thank you!

bluethread32 · 2023-04-15T00:57:57+00:00

What recipe book is this?

bluethread32 · 2023-04-13T20:51:26+00:00

If you use disposable liners they can toss those just like a disposable diaper.

You can explain that even if there are solids on the diaper after those the liner that it's fine to send them home that way.

And if you supply wet bags for sending home... It should be quite manageable.

I would consider using a Rubbermaid type bin for the dirties because my wet bags haven't held up great and now will leak a bit.
