I just purchased a used Goodmama locally, and when I got it home was pretty surprised by how small it was! I understood it was supposed to be a one-size diaper, but I don't know whether they all fit small or whether this one has shrunk...

The only HH I can think of that's like terry are the Heiny Huggers (they're like Kissaluvs, with cotton sherpa). The soaker is integrated into the diaper though, not sewn on top - is that what you mean?

Although Flip does allow you to tuck the insert inside the cover, I'm not sure that you could easily do it while standing (probably easier than pinning... but not great). You'd be better off with a velcro fastener, and honestly I don't...

We have a cherry red Tripp Trapp that we bought when our DD outgrew her high chair. Apart from the fact that I have darn near broken a toe walking into the "feet", I love it. It's easy to clean, resilient, and attractive. DD is almost...

I use wool on DS quite a bit. He has very sensitive skin and can't tolerate PUL covers for more than about an hour a day - he "marinates" in them and gets quite raw. Wool (and fleece) allow his skin to breathe and it's rare that he...

My understanding is that for crib-sleeping babies, yes, following the Back-to-Sleep campaign, SIDS deaths did drop quite a bit. At least that's what the pamphlets I received all said. I too think there are probably confounding factors...

DS is 15 months. He drinks breastmilk and water in a straw cup. He's not aware that there's anything else in the world to drink, and I'm okay with that. ;)   I'm not particularly anti-juice, as long as it's 100% juice, but he...

DS has been pooping on the toilet since about 6 months (he's 15 months now). Not all the time, but I'd say I catch about 75% of the poops. If I don't catch him in time, he uses his diaper. No confusion at all, but his skin is much...

DS is 15 months and he nurses more than 10 times a day, I'd say, but except for naps and night-time, they're quick pit-stops.   I've talked to many people, and found myself, that around 11 or 12 months is a bit of a lull in...

My son got his first tooth at 10.5 months (exactly the same age as my DD!). He got 4 teeth - two up, two down, and hasn't had any come through since - he's getting on for 15 months. There are a whole bunch threatening, but they've been...
