Well, if you have a boy, can you just put swim trunks over your cloth swim diaper? I don't think they'd ask to see what's inside. If you have a girl, I suppose you could still go the swim trunks route...not sure what little girls...

I hadn't seen those - they look great, though! We love our GMD prefolds, so I think these are probably good diapers. If we have a second LO I'll need more newborn prefolds - maybe I'll try these instead. I'll be interested to hear how...

I recently purchased a 3-pack of Disana tie-on diapers. They are 100% cotton - unbleached (I assume, based on the tan color). I washed and dried them a couple of times, but they still completely repelled water. I then boiled them for...

I really like our Thirsties duo covers. DS has been in size 2's since the end of last summer, so the aplix is really worn out on some of them. It's hard to get them open when changing a diaper, and now the velcro that's on the stomach...

Hi folks: My LO is 10 months old. I'm planning to nurse him for a long time yet (at least 18 months...maybe longer if he's cool with that). I seem to recall one or two people I know telling me that they nursed into toddler-hood, but...

I've only had time to skim briefly through the other responses - so I apologize if this is redundant: With regards to not being able to sleep on a waterproof cover on your mattress: I have a small wool puddle pad that I put on top of...

I started putting my son in the Ergo around 4.5 months. He had great head control, so that wasn't a concern, but I wasn't sure about spreading his legs that far. I started wearing it around the house for very short periods of time (to...

The cereal I have is the Earth's Best one...and I certainly will make it with breast milk (not water). I think starting with actual fruits and veggies does make sense, though. I may have to make a supermarket run for some bananas &...

Hm...I was planning on starting with cereal b/c that's what every baby food book I've looked at says to start with (also our family doc, my mother, etc.). I've looked at 5-6 books. The ones I have here right now are "The Well Fed...

My LO (now 6 months) cut his bottom teeth around 4.5 months. He started teething around 3 or 3.5 months, so I know of what you speak! We also had the problem of teething rings being too large for his little mouth, plus he couldn't hold...
