Stash review

Howdy, Ladies,

Would you be so kind as to critique my stash? I'm a month away from my due date and plan to CD right after meconium on up.

I also didn't want to commit to any particular method or brand, but obviously I dig the BumGenius AIOs. Thanks for your thoughts!

Re: Stash review

  • Are you using cloth wipes? You will need at least one for every diaper change plus some. I like to keep some in the diaper bag and I usually use more than one when my LO poops during a diaper change. Also, you will need a couple snappis for the prefolds unless you're planning on trifolding them, in which case you might want a couple more covers.

  • On your 10lbs plus you state you have covers, but I don't see any fitteds or prefolds on your list.

    My family is a Foreign Service family. Families like mine are posted in every corner of the globe. We live our lives away from family, friends and the conviences and comforts of home. We often live and work in dangerous places among those that misunderstand our intentions and purposes. Sometimes members of our ranks sacrifice our lives to further diplomacy.  Please remember that we serve too. And I'm always open to questions.

  • Good call! I have 5 covers once she gets larger, but only regular inserts from the other pocket diapers. I did want to try some fitted GMD cloth-eez, but didn't want to buy anymore newborn stuff once I got the stash of prefolds from craigslist the other day for a song. Think I will see how the tri-fold newborn GMD's with covers go during newborn time and then order some fitteds or larger prefolds (+ snappi) to go with those larger covers if I'm digging the absorbency and fit.

    So I don't have any cloth wipes because they're something I haven't been able to fully commit to in my mind yet. I think I have a notion that they won't get the baby clean or they'll somehow be dirtier than the diaper itself (yep, that makes absolutely no sense at all). :) Maybe I should just get a pack or two and see how it goes because that's the only way I'll ever know what it's like. Go big or go home, right? :)

    Thanks for your feedback!
