I'm new, where do all the Colorado moms live?

[coloradomama1]

I'm new to MDC and live in Longmont...I was just wondering where everyone else lives. I have a 5 month old baby girl and gladly stopped working full time to be at home with her.
I plan on breastfeeding her as long as possible and it's my favorite part of being a mother! We (eventually baby) are vegetarian, unvaccinated, co-sleep, cloth diaper and make our own cloth wipes. It's so nice to talk to other like minded mamas-sometimes I don't have much in common with the Babycenter crowd. I look forward to swapping ideas with everyone!

Moms on that board try to get together IRL too which can be a lot of fun.

My kiddos are much older though, 16, 9 and 7 next month. I do know of a homebirth lodge in Boulder run by two great midwives if you need to connect with some RL like-minded mamas of new babies. You can PM for contact details if interested.

to Longmont!

Close by in Fort Collins

Hi - I'm close by in Fort Collins! I'm new (1-day old) to MDC and still trying to figure it all out. I love the magazine; read it cover to cover.

My Son's name is Vitali, he's a 6-month old chunk of burnin' love (21 lbs)! I quit my career to stay at home and raise him. We're a breastfeeding, co-sleeping, organic eating nature lovin' family. I just moved back to FC from LA- I graduated from CSU and loved the area so much that when I found out I was pregnant there was no other place I wanted to raise my children than Colorado!

We're very new to this lifestyle- I was raised conventionally and my family still doesn't understand why I co-sleep, and they always ask "is he STILL breastfeeding?"! :

I think this forum will give me the support I need!

HI,
I'm in Loveland. We have a couple of groups that get together often in the loveland/fort collins area. I have an almost 3 yr old and am pregnant, 11 days over due, with my second.
drop me an email if you are interested in getting together with either of the groups i am a part of. 1 is an AP group, the other just a group of conscious mamas getting together for fun.
have a fun day suzy

one question: does colorado have diapering services? if not, what's the best way to clean cloth diapers?

Hi!
I used a product called nipple cream from Mother's love. It's entirely food based (olive oil and calendula). Worked great! I also use it for diaper rashes and cuts on my hand. I dropped a mirror on my hand : and it helped nicely with the healing process.

Smiles, Monique
