Let's see those pretty butts

ring_pop · April 2014

Still a bit bulky but he doesn't seem to mind!

I want to post a pic but we've been on a hiatus. Wah!

Our LO has oral thrush. We stopped using them as a preventative measure just in case she developed a yeast rash. So far she's been fine. So you think it's safe to use our CDs again?

Andplusalso I ordered 3 flips covers and a dozen prefolds today. I've never used prefolds so it should be fun!

@theluckiest9‌- I don't know about the thrush, but I love our prefolds. I only bought some bc they're cheap for our newborn stash and they're my favorite diapers to use. I really didnt think I'd like them And now I'm disappointed she just outgrew them

I have some bigger prefolds, but they're way too bulky right now.

This will sound silly but I practiced on a stuffed animal. Way easier trying to figure out folds for the first time than on a squirmy baby.

Apparently I'm a bad cd-ing momma bc I haven't taken one fluffy butt pic in the last month, so here's a 2 month pic.

Rockin' the bubble butt.

Edit to include brand: She is wearing a OS Alva pocket. I have built a gigantic stash because I was frugal and started out with used cheaper brands from the cloth diaper swap group on FB (that group is awesome btw! I have gotten some great deals on there). So far they have been working out great for us.

I don't have a pic right now but I want to suggest we all say what kind of diaper our babes are wearing in the pics! I know I'm always curious what other people are using.

mevensen · April 2014

@theluckiest9 I actually prefer the prefolds. They are really easy to get the hang of with a snappy. I would use them exclusively, but DH can't figure them out and would prefer pockets (and I sure don't want to discourage him from changing diapers!).

theluckiest9 · April 2014

I'm excited to try them out! They seem like they'd be a bit more trim than our pockets and DEF the AIOs. We got a couple snappis too bc they looked like the easiest way to go. The covers are aplix, which I'm hoping don't wear out too quickly, but I thought why not diversify? All our other diapers are snaps. the disposable-like fit will be nice.

Everyone seems to like prefolds so I'm really looking forward to trying something different.

DaisyJane11 · April 2014

@theluckiest9‌ I'm totally a prefold convert. I love them so much more than the pockets I used with DS1. I think I'm going to sell all my OS pockets and exclusively use prefolds this time. They are so much easier to launder with a FL washer too. I even like the cheap pull-on covers best.

Sloan had one a BG 4.0 although we mostly use thirsties and soft bums- but I stuff my soft bums

Here is a softbums

Wearing a newborn simplex. These are my fave newborn diapers.

Oli's in a prefold and bummis cover. I'm a prefold convert too!!

ProudMommy030614 · April 2014

Love my prefolds with a Thirsties application cover! Will post a pic once Colton wakes up

theluckiest9 · April 2014

So ladies who use prefolds - what is your fav way to fold them?? Trifolding seems easy but I also like the folds that make the prefold fit like a diaper.

Thoughts? Our baby is almost 12 lbs.

ETA: she's not a frequent pooper. Once every other day is usually what we get.

ProudMommy030614 · April 2014

I trifold and jelly roll mostly and fasten with a snappi. Haven't had any of his poo escape yet!

dancer7889 · April 2014

My favorite folds are bikini twist and my own version of an angel wing fold.

My prefolds can't snappi anymore. I could trifold but I'm afraid that it won't hold in her poop. She only goes every few days so they're huge when it happens. Anyone have luck with trifolding and big poops? I'd like to keep using them but I don't want poop everywhere!

Imagine cover over a prefold

We trifold and haven't had problems with big poops leaking out of the cover. Sometimes the cover needs a good washing, but never the clothes. :-)

Eli in a thirties size 1 pocket. I am still trying to decide which types are my favorites. DH definitely prefers aplix pockets/AIO because they are most like disposable.

I think thirsties are winning as my favorite. I like aplix for use better but hate washing because the laundry tans don't always stay down so I tend to buy snaps. Husband likes the snaps

theluckiest9 · April 2014

Ok let's see if this image inserts. This is Emma this morning in a BG 4.0. There hasn't been any sign of yeast rash so hopefully we're ok!

pepperedmoth · April 2014

Just snapped this a minute ago during a diaper change. We only use prefolds with a trifold and either a snappi or pins. That's a Thirsties snap cover. We've never had a poop blowout, but sometimes have a damp onesie from flooding. :-)

ETA: After we got the hang of them, MH and I really don't find the prefolds any more difficult than disposables. We've never tried fitteds so maybe we're missing something big but we're really happy with just the prefolds!
