Just when I think I have a handle on CD'ing

jeannkerricotober09

I read posts about what goes in a diaper bag or where your poop vs. not pooped diaper bags hang or different types of pf folds and I feel helpless all over again! 

That being said, I wanted to say thank you for all the awesome (lurking) advice and head spins!  I have another 20 weeks to absorb as much as I can and as overwhelmed as I am with all the knowledge on this board, I am so happy I am being exposed to it now rather than going in blind!  

 Also - I know you all get asked this often but if anyone want's to give me advice on my newborn stash, it would be appreciated!  Considering I learned it *all* on this board, if I have done well, feel free to congratulate yourself

 36 GMD prefold (orange)

12 Bummis prefolds 7-20lbs

10 Babykicks Joey Bunz inserts (5 sm, 5 med) 

2 Swaddlebee's covers

2 Weehuggers covers

3 Rumparooz covers

2 Blueberry pocket diapers

1 GroVia newborn AIO

3 Swaddlebees mininappi AIO

1 Happy Heiny AIO

1 Bottombumper AIO

1 Goodmama fitted 

3 snappi's

2 diaper pins (came with the GMD prefolds)

12 Quilters cloth wipes

1 large Planet Wise wet bag (which is hanging from the closet door)

2 sticks of CJ's BUTTer

1 LuSa baby wipe juice

 

 What I think I still need (let's see if I am right

2 more covers (either Thirsties or Bummis)

1 more large wet bag

1 medium wet bag for diaper bag

24 more cloth wipes

2 spray bottles for wipe juice 

so... how am I doing?  I welcome the words 'stop now!' because I worry I am becoming addicted.. ha! 

Thank you!!

You list 7 covers already, but I'm not familiar with how they're sized. I liked having about 4 xs covers on hand for the nb stage.

I think it looks good. You have a bunch of covers already, I'd wait to see what kind you like best. I liked Thirsties Duos for the nb stage.

And I have no idea why someone would have a special diaper bag for not-pooped in diapers. Perhaps you read it wrong? Or maybe I'm crazy? As for the PF folds, just find a way to wrap it around your baby and you'll be fine. It's easy to overthink this!

hmm.. good question.  I have no idea how these will fit since they aren't specifically newborn?  Almost all the diapers in my stash (with the exception of the fitted and a of the AIO's) have the extra rows of buttons so they can be made super small and still fit when the baby is out of newborns.  I did it this way so I wouldn't waste money on newborn stuff but maybe I will pick up a few in xs (with no adjustable buttons)?  What brand did you use/like?

Thanks!

Wow.  That is a really big list. I made it through the newborn stage with about 16 prefolds and 2 covers... I was washing every day and still using sposies at night.  But, wow!  That is an amazing stash.  I ended up being able to go to small Bummis whisper wraps because she was a 9 pound baby at birth.

I, too, am perplexed by the diaper bag. Are you meaning a wet/dry bag which can be used for clean and dirty dipes??

Sorry it didn't make sense.  I was referring to the recent post clicky poll 'where is your pail'.

I think it looks good, but I am also not sure about the sizing on the covers.  Are some one-size? I don't know if any of those will fit a newborn.  You can always get a couple of covers right after you give birth and have them to you in a few days.  Everything else looks good to me though.
