I understand exactly what you mean. I don't honestly want to have another baby, even if it means I can have the birth I wanted with my DD. I know even then I wouldn't be satisfied because it still wouldn't change the fact that that isn't...

My DD eats beans and peas and likes them very much. I boil them until they're very soft. She especially loves yellow split peas which turns out thick but soupy, so it's perfect. Since DH is allergic to nuts and tree nuts, we've avoided...

Been vegan since I was 16. That was 11 years before I got pregnant. Didn't change it. The only thing I really craved was salt & vinegar potato chips and hot salsa. It became a favorite a year before I got pregnant. I just had to have...

I don't know how many diapers you're washing how often. I'm diapering just one and first I handwashed everyday. Then we got more prefolds, so we used the washer every 3 days. Then we started elimination communication--no more than 5...

Just so you know, I don't think all the 'facts' of diabetes are necessarily correct. I've been a McDougall vegan since I found out I had PCOS. My blood glucose got to the pre-diabetic range by the time I started doing something about it....

No problem. We have 2 dozen infant prefolds and 2 dozen one size up from Green Mountain--though I don't recommend those. Then we have 3 hemp fitteds. I used to just time the poops well. Now it doesn't matter anymore--yay for solid...

So hard to guess the baby's size at this point. My baby is petite like every other woman she's related to...and at almost 9 months, she's still using the small Thirsties diaper cover. The infant prefold no longer snappis, but we just lay...

Honestly, I've found fitteds more bulky than prefolds. Flats, I've heard, are extra trim since you can supposedly fold it to fit the baby perfectly. I haven't tried them, so I wouldn't know. I considered them at one time, but I'm...

I bought prefolds from both and am sorry to say I won't be buying from GMD again. I know they tend to get great reviews, but I've seen some wonky stitching, the cloth itself wasn't exactly as soft as what I got from cottonbabies, and the...

I've heard it does, but I've never relied on it, honestly. Have you tried cold soaking the diapers overnight before the wash? This work for our prefolds to keep them completely stain free. The fitteds stained till they were washed...
