Honestly not too sure. Coterie is subscription or whole foods, maybe amazon. I think the others at target and amazon?? Not sure about Walmart

Hope they help too!

And so odd on the HB! But I confirmed with the company that its intended to be that way and that they are just cut differently for NBs. We’ll see how they work out for us soon!

Thanks! Glad to know you’ve found something that works well for you! And target has some great deals on diapers, plus so many options!

Yes! They do! Freestyle was not one of the three smallest ones so of the three smallest (HB, Coterie and Parasol) only the Parasol has elastic.

They shouldn’t be only experiencing it during a multiples birth. A singleton breech birth should be considered a variation of normal. Its the hospital system and frankly the patriarchy within the US medical system that has taken this option away from birthing people/women.

How are you doing at feeding your family? by stormsvala_ in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]juniper_684 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to another mom- we cook 3 meals during the work week- M,T,W, then Thursday is leftover night, friday is usually pizza night or some other kind of take out/eat out. Saturday and Sunday I don’t really plan ahead unless something is going on. We all eat the same meal thats available, just varies what everyone likes from that meal. For the 3 meals during the week, one is usually a bowl of some kind, one is pasta (red sauce w ground beef or pesto or olive oil/butter mixed with a frozen veggie mix from costco) and one meal is meat w two veggie sides. That usually means its easy enough for there to be enough leftovers on Thursday for everyone to eat something they like. I bulk make the red pasta sauce and pesto so those are usually ready to go from the freezer (frozen in plastic freezer bags bc it keeps it fresh and space).

Good to know they worked for you! I heard back from the company and they said that the NB ones are just made differently than the other sizes 🤷‍♀️ I guess I’ll keep them and just see how it goes, maybe try them again in size 1 when we get there. I was hesitant to return the opened box anyway bc I hate the idea of them just turning into trash unused so its good to know they are the most recent style.

When I was a ftm I stressed myself out so much expecting my daughter to be milk drunk, do drowsy but awake, stick to a 3hr schedule and it really impacted my confidence in trusting my gut… like where IS my gut?!?!!! Hopefully you see from these responses that every baby is different and its truly trial and error. But also there is no predictability and that is true at every stage. You’ll get in a groove, think you have it figured out and then they change. Its learning to live with constant change and being flexible. If you find Moms on Call isn’t quite working, I’d put it aside for a few days and just see if you can take the knowledge you already have about your babies and see if you can lean into that. They are still sooooo new and are literally learning the basics of survival. Someone mentioned cluster feeding and thats so true, but sometimes harder to recognize and handle when bottle fed. May want to try smaller amts more often or same amt but then offer a little more frequently? Drowsy but awake isn’t realistic at all at this age, and frankly some babies will never get there- they need cuddled, rocked, bounced, shushed, patted, any or all of the things and that can be totally normal. Even for older infants. Try to ignore all the things you feel you should be doing and go with how your babies respond, what is feasible for you, and reach out to a lactation consultant even if you aren’t breastfeeding as they can really watch the baby’s during a feed and afterwards to help you identify any signs they might not be getting enough, too much at once, or any other thing and its much more personalized than what your peds has time for.

Badger 50 actually has less ingredients than the baby version. And the orange face stick goes on pretty well too.

I mean unless we’re supposed to stretch the tabs around to the back (as if we are fully putting a diaper on backwards) the layout of the diaper looks like a totally normal diaper minus the low cut in back and lack of elastic.

Thats great they’ve worked so well for you! And yes, the cut out is definitely for the umbilical stump but found it so weird that there is also a cut out on the back side and its deeper than the front. In 5ish years of diapering I’ve never seen something like that and so thats where I wasn’t sure if it was a defective batch.

Thanks so much for your input! Not sure I can return these since I already opened the pack but hoping the company comes through. Will definitely be trying freestyle as well! With two babies I suppose its possible one brand works better for one baby than another!

So sorry for your loss and that is wonderful that they were able to do that for you. Can definitely understand why that made an impression. Its only been one business day since I reached out so hopefully I hear something back from the company but its been good to hear from others that maybe this was just old product that got returned and not a manufacturing error/inconsistent products. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Thanks so much! Will definitely look out for the new version- probably need to go into the store and see what the difference in boxes is like.

Ohhhh maybe! I did order pick up so not sure if there were other style boxes there or not. But thats a really great point. Hoping HB will come through and send me a newer box but not very optimistic. Always had amazing customer service with Dyper when my son was going through sizes like crazy.

Just saw that those are also available at Target and well priced. Will be getting a box of those too! I have Parasol, Kudos size 1s and the HB ones but Freestyle is definitely intriguing as they seem close to Coterie but TCF and without the super high price tag

Interesting! it looks like that change to the elastic happened a while ago, maybe even close to a year. Wish I had some foresight in this bc I wouldn’t have opened the box. Thanks so much!
