I only did cloth diapering with my first and we used disposable diapers when she was tiny and then switched to cloth diapers when she was a little bigger. With #2 we lived in a place without it's own washer and dryer...and by #3 and #4 I was too lazy to wash diapers.Polly @ Pieces by Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007874028607140568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395716155718406728.post-11174240320558242762013-02-08T14:13:36.573-05:002013-02-08T14:13:36.573-05:00I cloth diaper my twins, and wash my own diaper la...I cloth diaper my twins, and wash my own diaper laundry (when the nanny doesn't get to it). We use Flips (made by the same folks as Bum Genius). I love the all in two style, that you can reuse the covers multiple times without needing to wash. Cheaper that way. I think daycares would prefer AIO. A friend used prefolds (with snappis) and found a laundry service to wash them. <br /><br />I can't believe the daycare charged you to send in breastmilk! That's discrimination. If anything, breastmilk is LESS of a hazard since you can reheat it, leave it out longer, and, OH, all the health benefits. Hmmm...sounds like extortion to me.

I loved all of the options and used fuzzibunz hemparoos as inserts in my happy heinys all in ones. Pro rap covers were awesome too. And laundry was easy (don't rinse! I swear, no need!) and both of the cloth diapered kids potty trained before their first birthday! Yep, potty trained before 1.

It's definitely understandable to be absent for a while. <br /><br />Also it's great that you spent more time with your family in 2012. It was my most unproductive year also, but that was because my whole year overall was a great big fail! Oh well, I have a good feeling about this coming year. <br /><br />I hope you move past the sickness soon and are able to enjoy pregnancy for a while before welcoming your new baby!

It was rough. I figured out my son is allergic to gluten.<br /><br />I just wanted to give you some hope for potty training! I didn't know how my son would EVER get potty trained with diarrhea! I managed to get his bowels under control on a strict diet and then potty trained him. He was older (3 1/2) and so it took no time at all! And now, he sneaks gluten foods ALL the time and gets diarrhea regularly from it but has NEVER had an accident. So, there's so much hope! No one would know he has diarrhea or issues and he has no embarrassment over it all :)<br /><br />Good luck. You are in the very hardest part! It was awful dealing with those issues when every other mother around me had NO idea what I was going through and the issues I faced. But it gets so much better! One day soon you won't have to change diarrhea diapers and he'll be able to go to school without a worry.Ariana Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601754414156234023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395716155718406728.post-28863724708131974942012-08-25T21:11:56.217-04:002012-08-25T21:11:56.217-04:00how very cool and clever are you! amazed that the...how very cool and clever are you! amazed that the food coloring does not stain your hands.... but I guess 'cause it's soap hmmmmryjhnsnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08957396450720425382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395716155718406728.post-18459322409733276042012-08-24T05:20:04.833-04:002012-08-24T05:20:04.833-04:00Hey Robin,
I stumbled upon your blog googling aro...Hey Robin,<br /><br />I stumbled upon your blog googling around, I feel your pain. I myself have had what the doctors called "IBS" since I was 14 (I'm now 24).<br /><br />Recently I found out the reason I was pooping 7-9 times a day was fructose intolerance ( and very intolerant at that ) so I have removed fructose, and fructose related things from my diet.<br /><br />It is not much better, but i get relief from the gas and cramps that your son may also be experiencing. The thing that has helped me the most is to have a small serving of psyllium husk (Metamucil here in Australia) before every time I eat.<br /><br />This works in both ways - if you are constipated, it will soften up your stools. If you have loose stools like me and your son, it works to absorb excess mucous and water in your digestive tract and slow down the transit of your stools.<br /><br />I don't know if it is recommended for young children, I would get in contact with your doctor or dietician first. It takes a few days for your body to get used to the increased fibre, but I really think it may help your son.<br /><br />Other things that have helped on my journey is eating more regularly, 4-5 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones, and spacing them out so that my bowels and stomach always have something to 'work' on. <br /><br />My condition has left me with social anxiety problems from being bullied in school - it is very important that your son knows that is not his fault, and is out of his control. The quicker he can come to peace with this fact the better.<br /><br />I don't want to scare you with this statement, but it is a possibility. When you need to use the bathroom a LOT and to poop too - it isn't well understood and can be very stressful over long periods of time.<br /><br />I really hope the best for your son, I let "IBS" destroy my life for such a long time. I don't wish that upon anyone.<br /><br />For me there are a few foods that i MUST stay away from, else I get the symptoms worse than ever before. These foods are deceptively high in fructose:<br /><br />Onions, Shallots, Garlic, Peas<br /><br />Of course being in america HFCS would be your main concern, but besides that you should try to stay away from these sugars too:<br /><br />Aspartame, Xylitol, Sorbitol... pretty much anything named with a number, or man made.<br /><br />Hopefully some of this can be of help to you, good luck in your quest!<br /><br />ZackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3395716155718406728.post-2576592007422203922012-08-20T22:58:02.900-04:002012-08-20T22:58:02.900-04:00The teachers at my daughters school did this and i...The teachers at my daughters school did this and it was very cool.
