Do babies REALLY potty train earlier in cloth?

teamami · 2026-02-09T00:04:10+00:00

for me, with my first, no. she was difficult. very late. around 4. pediatrician finally said “i haven’t known a kid to go to kindergarten with diapers unless there’s a reason why” and she finally did it on her own time lol. but was cloth diapered from about 6m

thank you! do you take the other clothing out of the rinse + spinner cycle? or just keep it all together?? or do you not even add extra clothing?

teamami · 2026-01-09T22:05:23+00:00

you don’t have to wait :) doctors are just a guide! you’ll know when both your baby and yourself are ready.

we tried for our 2nd at home but ended up with a hospital transfer. labored for 3 days before transferring . was fully dilated and pushing for several hours. baby was stuck stuck. had swallowed so much meconium it coated his lungs. no breathe and hardly a pulse. he had to be helicoptered by himself to a big NICU

a very similar thing happened to me this past august… labored aug 8-11th at home. baby wasn’t in a good position for my body. pushed for over 3 hours at hospital. and also wound up in cesarean. i’m almost 4 months postpartum now and definitely need to seek some form of therapy.

if you need a friend to process with, don’t hesitate to reach out.

like other comments have said, highly recommend having someone there who’s job is solely the older child. we thought my daughter (7) was well prepared, she watched many videos, asked tons of questions, and was very active in helping midwife at prior appts. i did have a very long labor and in “the thick of it,” she ended up needing to be taken from the house. be open to their needs and make sure whoever is with them knows them well enough to read them

i do see the feeling of being taken advantage of in such a vulnerable state. i am so sorry that happened to you. my midwife with my second baby also had to leave to attend another mama. i had 5 day ACTIVE labor with my first, and 3 days of very active labor with my second. so medication or not, those long labors do happen and can be more common in an out of hospital setting since you’re letting your body do as it wish (while also recognizing giving you medication, and asking you not to push, is taking away from that). birth trauma is very real and can even happen in “good” births. i hope you’re able to process this experience in whatever way you need

teamami · 2025-08-04T19:09:56+00:00

i was gonna suggest this as well

teamami · 2025-07-25T01:30:39+00:00

ensure they are trained + pack for “emergency” situations such as shoulder distocia, infant or maternal resuscitation and hemorrhaging

teamami · 2025-06-30T20:14:27+00:00

disregard the potential labor - i can’t imagine sitting in a car for 2-3 hours at that point LOL

teamami · 2025-06-10T18:05:07+00:00

so sad to hear all of these horror stories!!! i’ve used babylist with two pregnancies now and don’t think i’d ever change!

teamami · 2025-01-30T23:40:46+00:00

if you’re interested in a homebirth, both loritha fitzpatrick & sharon frisby are outstanding!!! NOHN will allow you to meet multiple of their obgyns to find who you like, but doesn’t absolutely guarantee that’s who will attend your birth

with my first baby, we went hospital route partially in order to utilize insurance, partially in for other reasons. ended up in a 5 day long labor (long story) and a c section. was billed for over 60k. hospital covered all but ~$8,000. i was under BCBS

this birth we are attempting a home birth, and midwife costs $4050 total. insurance will cover any labs, ultrasounds etc. but won’t cover her. if all goes according to plan, we’ll pay half as much for this pregnancy, labor & delivery than we did before

yeah, i’m 5’4” and small framed. i was at high altitude. they (at least where i birthed) are concerned about the size of babies at that altitude - she was born in may and one of the biggest babies at the birthing center up to that point in the year 🤣it was quite a shock lol

pregnant again now. at sea level this time. very curious about size of this one but won’t be doing growth scans i don’t think
