Cloth Diaper Carnival

2009-07-28T15:44:00.000-07:00

From a Cloth Diapering Blogger Board here's a Discussion Prompt:

What do you wish you knew then that you know now? Meaning, now that are have experienced cloth first hand, what would you have told yourself when you first started or before you started?

Umm...everything!?!?

Okay, honestly I wish that I would have known that it's okay to ask questions and not feel guilty about buying used.
That buying a sample stash off Craigslist is a great way to try different types of diapers and see what works best for your diapering style and your baby. (ie. thick thighs, long waisted, etc)
That CD'g is SO NOT what your mother/grandmother used to do, but you know what? (sssshhhhh...don't tell, but they are right about it being easier than I thought)
That it is way cheaper than I thought.
That my kids don't get nearly as many diaper rashes.
That it's SUPER easy to corrupt, I MEAN, convince friends to try it. And then they are CD'g too.
That husbands will try it, like it, if you make it easy for 'em. (stuffing the pockets already, lining the dipes already, etc) ps...it helps if you lay out the cost savings too!
That CD'g moms on blogs are happy to help, answer questions, chat and pass along information. They're generally a good bunch!
That DiaperSwappers can scare the beegeezus outta you if you let it.
Not all baby's booties were meant for the teeny tiny 'boutique-y' diapers that cost $40 a pop.
My baby loves me no matter what kinda diaper I put on his bum.

I'm sure there's more, but this is a good start!

Can Canada do it?

We've actually had 5 participants in the International Diaper...the last four in Canada, but no photos or journals to display.

The diaper is currently on its last Canada address and I'm hoping that she can send us a photo or two to display before it heads off to Malaysia.

Thanks for checking in,

And so it begins...

We were so excited to receive the diaper and start off the fluffy adventure for diaper #2! The diaper travelled to the Almaden Valley in San Jose for playgroup. It was a beautiful, sunny Friday afternoon. It actually was a little too sunny and Olivia got a little pink so we finished the the play date inside the house. Here are a few pictures....

Love,

Bonnie & Olivia

The diaper is now on its way to British Columbia, Canada. Stay tuned as it is soon headed to Malaysia!
