For those of you CDing mamas who are having a hospital birth...

[katytheprincess2]

Are you gonna cd in the hospital or use sposies until you get home? I have started packing my hospital bags and can't decide weather or not to CD in the hospital or not. I was kinda wondering what everyone else was doing

[MizLiz]

I'm using disposables until I'm settled at home and ready to tackle laundry (I'm having a c-section so it may be disposables for the first couple of weeks).

I'm gonna use sposie's at the hospital too. I don't have a huge newborn stash and I won't have enough diapers to last more than a day, so I'm gonna wait until we get home. I bought ecological diapers (Tushie's) though, which makes me feel a bit better.

[mezzydotes]

I just packed a hospital bag this morning and included a couple of disposables just for coming home. Hospitals here provide nappies/diapers for the duration of your stay.

[St. Margaret]

I'm taking CDs and a wet bag. We should only be there 24 hours and we live 10 minutes away, so DH said we might as well do it from the get-go!

[Muggins&Doody]

We did disposables in the hospital. Mainly because I packed my bag in about 3 seconds between contractions and was too distracted to pick out which dipes I wanted to take.

[marnie]

we had a birth center birth and used cloth.

I debated this one myself, and decided I would use disposables for my hospital stay and for the first bit of being home. I only bought one pack though, so the babe will be in cloth pretty quick. I also bought a pack for Grace since she'll be staying out at my parent's place and I figured that would be one less thing for them to have to do.

And I also figured that after giving birth I deserve a break from the endless diaper laundry I do

I will be useing sposies...I have a pack (I didn't buy it) the first few weeks will be off and on sposies..we are moving and it will take a few days to get our washer and dryer to our new house. I then plan on useing G-diaper covers with inserts I make out of extra recieveing blankets when lo grows out of my NB stash.

Funny, I'll be using the G-diaper liners with my normal CDs while he's having meconium poops to save work

[frenchie]

I'll be using disposables until I get home.

[LilMomma83]

If I use cloth in the hospital then I won't have enough clean ones when I get home :P But, I am bringing organic disposables instead of using the hospital disposables...I hope my little babe's buns stay comfie enough...

[MamaPam]

I'm just going to use the hospital provided disposables till we get home.

My hosptial uses cloth! I am bringing a couple for the trip home .

[AugustLia23]

Not in your DDC, but my first son was born in the hospital and he wore only one disposible, after that he wore cloth for the whole stay. We were there for a bit over 24 hours and I or DP just rinsed out the mec. diapers as they came, it wasn't an issue as they don't dirty too many diapers during that time period. The nurses loved seeing our kissaluvs on bub, they were just soooo cute!

[Amari's Mama]

I'm planning on cloth. DD was 6.5 lbs, so I expect to get a bit more use out of NBs than most people, plus, I got all of mine either secondhand from diaperswappers or in the swaddlebees overstock, or made them myself. I think I have around 24 fitteds, 2 PUL covers, 3 wool covers/longies, and 15 AI2s.

[Debstmomy]

I probably will use the sposies there in the hospital, until we leave & put baby in cloth for the ride home!

Yep, they are a super pro-BFing hospital,so they use cloth so as to get a more accurate idea of how much the baby wets.

That is so freaking COOL!

We will use sposies at the hospital and then start cd at home but I did get some sposies fro my 2 year old so I am not a slave to the toilet for the 1st few weeks!
