I don't know if there is such a thing as calendula EO, but in any case, I wouldn't put it undiluted EO on a babe. Don't put oil on it either. You want the stump to air out and dry, not be smothered in wetness. I cleaned my ds's with...

My 11 week ds has started cooing and smiling while nursing. He will have the nipple in his mouth, stop sucking, look up at me and smile while making muffled coos. Melts my heart every time

Shana-I have a diaper champ, and I usually line it with a garbage bag. I don't reuse it after I dump the dipes in the wash, because it smells strongly of pee. I have one spare pillowcase that I also use to line the pail with and I like...

Cathy-congrats on the job! It sounds so sweet... Shana-I use ME and their covers, which work wonderfully, although they do give ds a 'puffy butt'. He's around 15lbs now and growing into them better. Kissaluvs are nice too. I also...
