weekend away and CD

Athena0809

Before my question let me just say that I'm still learning about CD so if my question seems silly, forgive me   My family is planning a weekend trip about three hours away from home for fourth of July weekend, my baby will still be in the NB stage I assume since he'll be about a month old...do you travel with CD as well? how do you store the dirty diapers and about how many would you need for a 3 day two night stay?  Thanks a lot ladies!

For that age, you are going to need 12-14 diapers a day. When we travel, We just take our wetbags with us and if we keep them closed, they don't smell. But we typically have access to a washer and dryer, so I don't worry.

We travel all the time with CDs.  I have an XL PW hanging wetbag that I take.  You'll probably have to change 10-12 times a day, so 36-40 diapers.

A newborn is going to go through at least 12-18 diapers per day.  If you use prefolds & covers for the newborn stage it would be so easy to travel with them b/c they're easy to pack.  I went away over Thanksgiving and took our entire stash of pockets, along with sample packs of Rockin' Green so I could do laundry, and a Planet Wise Hanging Wet/Dry bag.  It was just as easy as CDing at home.  If I didn't have access to a washing machine I probably would have just packed prefolds and covers with the wetbag.

I use disposables for travel.

we went to an out of town wedding when dd was two weeks old (it was my bil's wedding and dh was best man) and i used disposables. i did't feel confident enough about cding yet and was already stressed about bringing the baby around so many people and trying to squeeze into a dress. if it were now, i would not mind cding while traveling and wouldn't mind doing it with a second newborn either.

just wait and see how you feel about it at the time is my advice.

At newborn stage, I would have used Swaddlers for a 3 day trip. I flew across the country  many times with CDs, but it was when she was older and only using 4-6 a day. My stash A) never would have lasted that long, or fit in a reasonably sized wet bag! Either plan to do laundry once or use Swaddlers.

This pretty much except on a 3 day trip I've never needed to wash.  I just washed when we got home.

It's really easy and I didn't have to worry about putting stinky diapers in someone else's trash.
