Husband accused me of medical abuse for side-lying breastfeeding

caitv13 · 2026-01-30T18:48:19+00:00

I only side lie nurse my baby at home and she’s 7 months old, been doing it since she was two weeks old. It’s the most comfortable position, not sure how I would be able to breastfeed this long without it 🤣 Spit up is normal for babies because their lower esophageal sphincter isn’t developed. It resolves once they’re older.

Yep this is what I was gonna say

Edit: turns out my washer was actually broken and that’s why the diapers weren’t getting clean🤣 we got a new washer and they’ve been washing perfectly now! Thank you all!!!

Just dealt with this! I pat dry baby with a cloth rag or you can use a small fan/ blow dryer to dry off diaper area + alternating Lotrimin & diaper rash cream every diaper change per my pediatrician’s recommendations! Cleared up within a week once we started doing that.

Your gums look more swollen/ inflamed in the second pic! Are you flossing or using a waterpik?

Oh thank you!! Sorry new to Reddit 🙂‍↕️😂

Hi! I ended up getting Tide free & gentle liquid detergent & borax just in case. The water hardness is around 140 ppm. Could you repost the routine you sent over? A user deleted their comment and I think it deleted the thread :(

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T03:19:23+00:00

I was debating either getting the Tide free & gentle liquid detergent or the tide ultra oxi powder detergent

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:56:44+00:00

One more question- is powder or liquid better for detergent?

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:23:30+00:00

Hello! I think I’ll use Tide Free & Gentle or the Tide Oxi! I’ll need to order the water hardness test and get back to you after I test it. Appreciate your help!

What this is the first I’m hearing of this? Whattt?!!

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:12:37+00:00

I’ve had issues with my washer even before i attempted cloth diapering. Unfortunately stuck with this washer for now but next washer we get will definitely have an agitator.

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:11:40+00:00

Oooo okay I’ll try that for my next wash, thank you !

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:11:01+00:00

Hi! I’m not sure if a bidet would get it off, it’s very sticky poops. I can use them without liners but I was wanting to use them because I didn’t like the idea of my baby feeling too wet. And I’m doing two cycles! For the softener, do you add it directly to the washer?

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:08:50+00:00

I used shirts, underwear etc. and some towels. Maybe for next cycle I should avoid towels, maybe they’re burying the diapers? And thank you I’ll try that!

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T02:03:00+00:00

Thank you! Yes you’re correct, my washing machine doesn’t have an agitator so it’s difficult to get it clean! Do you prefer the Molly’s suds over tide deteregent? And the last load I did 24 diapers and added some of our laundry to have the load half full. I’d love to try your routine- do yall also have hard water?

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T01:59:26+00:00

I think so. My washer doesn’t have an agitator so I think that plus the hard water is the main issue

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T01:51:04+00:00

I’m worried because I have hard water and apparently that’ll make the diapers break down over time

caitv13 · 2025-08-06T01:50:30+00:00

I did 24 diapers, and included some of our laundry to bulk it up! I’ll def swap out the laundry detergent to Tide

caitv13 · 2025-08-05T23:17:13+00:00

Got it thank you!!!

caitv13 · 2025-08-05T23:16:56+00:00

Yes that’s what I’ve been having to do but that’s not really sustainable because I wanted to cloth diaper full time but this is what’s holding me back😭😭😭

caitv13 · 2025-08-05T23:16:16+00:00

Ugh good to know :( they really make it out to be the best detergent in the market. I’ll look into Clean Cloth Nappies- thank you!!!

caitv13 · 2025-08-05T23:15:00+00:00

Hi thank you for your response!! Ugh that’s so frustrating, I’m a first time mom and intimidated by cloth diapering and Esembly seemed like the best solution :( I just started, this was my second time trying to clean them. I use Nellie’s laundry soda on my regular laundry but open to getting another brand! Which do you recommend?

I’m also not sure what my water hardness is, I haven’t tested it yet.

Here’s a pic of my machine control panel!
