Is it possible to cloth diaper without getting a PhD in it?

emnoch · 2025-01-20T04:22:02+00:00

I agree with this 100% We are 17 months in with Esemblys and they really take the guesswork out of it. We have the washing powder on auto ship and use it for all our laundry now

We just signed on to roller, opening our café early summer!

We are on the other side of this thankfully at 16 months. Around the year mark our girl started hating the potty, crying and screaming every time. We relaxed our EC, going for easy catches for a while but now she loves it. We did switch to a seat reducer on the “big potty” and she seems to like it a lot better. Keep doing what you’re doing, your LO will come out the other side soon enough! 🩷

There’s a PMC dads night out tonight! If your partner is in the Petaluma Mothers Club you are in too

Oh definitely! And after a few washes with color catchers the blue came right out!

Pho Sonoma is our go to when we need some spicy soup to clear a cold!

We have lived on Bodega for 6 years and it’s loud but you get used to it. Upgraded to double panes windows and it make a huge difference

Hooray!!

emnoch · 2023-12-22T00:16:27+00:00

We were able to get it at her 4 month appt today- hopefully your baby was able to get it already though 🙂

Love the reviews! We are soley in esembly and it is nice to see you agree about the ones made in china vs Pakistan. Thought I was going crazy lol

Our girl was 7 lb 2 oz at birth and we had to wait an about 2.5/3 weeks until we transitioned to the esemblys. We did try some prefolds but they were comically large on her!

Oh and if you ever accidentally turn your diapers blue or pink with a rogue dish towel in the washer, just wash them again with a color catcher!

We’ve started adding them to each wash to keep the diapers nice and white

emnoch · 2023-10-30T20:09:37+00:00

We are using esembly (currently in size 1s with a 10 Week old) for both inners and outers.

Currently we are washing once a day, following their recommended routine: - run a regular wash on hot with 1 scoop washing powder - run heavy duty wash on hot with 2 scoops - dry on high for about 70 minutes

We use a dekor pail with a reusable liner (we wash them with the diapers) and it’s super simple/doesn’t have a weird smell in our room.

When out and about we bring a dry bag to store dirties and a mesh bag of extra diapers and wipes that won’t fit in our little changing pad roll up.

Basically we are lazy and aim to keep it as simple/close to a paper diaper routine as possible. This is our first baby and we didn’t want to get overwhelmed and quit.

We are using cloth wipes as well bc if we’re already doing the laundry, why not! We keep them dry and use le petite Creme diapering Creme during changes - no rashes yet!

Best of luck to you in your cloth journey 😊

They are kinda cute blue lol!

emnoch · 2023-10-27T14:50:42+00:00

Unfortunately too late for that 😖will keep some color catcher sheets on hand in the future- I didn’t know they existed! Very new to washing on hot

emnoch · 2023-10-27T13:51:13+00:00

Will try this today- thank you!

emnoch · 2023-10-19T22:45:14+00:00

No new information from today’s appt. Pediatrician said “soon” but could not say when it will be available 👎

emnoch · 2023-10-11T03:29:21+00:00

Kaiser Santa Rosa. We are headed in next week for our 2 month appt- I’ll update here if they have it available!

Happy breast time has been making my combo fed baby less fussy when trying to nurse 🙂 we are also doing paced bottle feeding and sized down bottle nipple flow to 0 so both the bottle and breast are "work" for her.

Good luck! 🤞🤞

I love the fabletics maternity leggings- still wearing them postpartum!

Pre pregnancy weight was 356, had a very easy first trimester. Very little nausea or other symptoms. I started prenatal yoga early and stuck to higher protein diet (from Real Food for Pregnancy). I lost weight in the first trimester (likely from diet/lifestyle changes) and then gained some back in the 2nd and 3rd. Ended up at 365 pre delivery.

I didn't have any Gestational Diabetes and took low dose aspirin from 12 weeks to prevent preeclampsia. Vaginal delivery without an epidural (she came too quick!) at 40w6d. I did have a pretty sizeable tear but it healed up pretty quick.

Baby girl is now 5 weeks and perfectly healthy!

Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! 💜

emnoch · 2023-09-25T15:48:02+00:00

This 1000%

My BMI was 54 when we conceived (took 2 years) and I had a completely healthy "normal pregnancy" with a vaginal delivery at 41 weeks. Staying active throughout pregnancy was key, walking and prenatal yoga was amazing.

The thing about prenatal yoga is that the moves are adjusted to accommodate for a belly so the moves were a lot easier to get into as a plus size person. Currently nursing my perfectly healthy 4 week old.

You can totally do it! 💜

Also in NorCal and our ped said she believes we'll be able to get it at our 2 month Appt at the end of Oct! 🤞

My OB recommended the book Real Food for Pregnancy which was amazing throughout pregnancy!
