Yep both me and my brother were cloth diapered! We had Dydee diaper service too.Then once that got to be too expensive they just bought prefolds and pins and used rubber pants on me.My mom actually suggested I do what she did on my son since I told her how much each diaper is that I bought.I was like ummmm mom I am NOT putting my son in rubber pants! :LOL Those things left marks on my thighs and they itched on the elastic too. I am glad things have changed!

 

That is awsome that your dad CDed you!

I was CDed also - just CPFs w/ pins and plastic pants - though lots of my little dress outifts had matching bottoms that were plastic inside so they were the cover. I actually have a couple still that my mom saved that I can use for baby girl!

DH was CDed too - as were his 3 older siblings. They were all born at home too - except him, being the last. But for the 60s and 70s in the Dominican Repbulic (he is Dominican) that was the norm. His mom used flats and pins - not sure on the covers but he remembers the flats.

Actually, my mom lived in Santa Cruz, CA when I was born and CDing and other AP stuff was all the norm there in the late 70s too - so nothing too alternative.

My mom thinks our diapers are so cool - so much better than what she had. Actually, she buys a lot of diapering stuff for us because she likes it

 

Yep...in prefold, diaper pins and rubber pants

 

yep! all 3 of us were - with flats, prefolds, and plastic pants and wet pails! my dad said he'd be so proud of me if i cd'd - he thought carrying the wetpail to the laundry and dunking the poopy diapers was the worst! when i told him i don't have to do either of those things he was pretty surprised! my mom thinks fitteds, aios, and snappis are 'weird' :LOL

 

yes, my sister and I both were, my parents both worked FT and Nanna took care of us during the day- they used a diaper service.

 

I was cloth diped in in the mid 1960's till potty trained.

Just a personal thing I noticed recently; I am way more fertile than my other female relatives my age and ten years younger. I wonder if it was the cloth dipes?

 

I was cd'd part time, I think. 'sposies when I was at daycare (mom was a divorce going to school) and cloth at home. My hubby and his siblings were all in cloth, too, unless they were on vacation!

 

There was nothing but CDing when I was born...

 

Yup PF's and rubber pants here too! :LOL my mom loves to tell the story of how my diaper exploded all over her dress in church

 

I was practically raised by my grandparents who used sposies on me and still think I'm crazy for CD'ing my daughter however they are quite amazed at the resale value of my used diapers.
CD'ing was something I really discovered while pregnant and trying to have a holistic pregnancy. We've CD'd since day one and my partner who's a body piercer actually try's to recruit people when he finds out they're expecting. :LOL Our daughter is his fourth child and he was reluctant at first but by the time she arrived he was trying to bring the cloth to the hospital (where we ended up unexpectedly)

 

I was cloth diapered and so were my other 2 siblings. My mom had a diaper service and used prefolds, pins and plastic pull on covers. This was in the 70s. We were all breastfed also! My mom is smart!

 

Yes...pf rubber pants. I am super fertile too. Hmmmm....

 

CDed here! My mom cded all 3 of us, but used aservice with me since she was single at the time. My dh was cded too, but I don't know if she cded her other two.
jen mom to O

 

Toatally hyjacking this post, but Meisubaby, I love the name Aleksei. We were going to name our first son that after one of the Hockey players on the Penguins team. We decided on Jacek instead.
Now back to the post.
Yup, all my brothers and sisters and I were cloth diapered in prefolds and rubber pants. I used the prefolds years later as rags to dust with.

 

I was not cloth diapered and was formula fed (but super fertile- I got pregnant first try)

My dh and bil were both clothdiapered and breastfed....

 

I just found out a few months ago that I was. I knew my little sister was in cloth, she has super sensitive skin and would get a horrible rash in sposies. When my parents came to visit over Christmas, my mom and I were talking about dd's diapers and she told me she had one pack of sposies someone bought her for her shower and she'd save them for special occasions (can't figure out what special occasion warrants a sposie). She thought they were cute (sposies) because they were contoured and had "elastic". My parents had me very young and couldn't afford sposies so they were a novelty. My mom was in shock the first time she saw our fluff. She made me promise to make her OV diapers when she needs them :LOL

 

my sister and i were both cd'd

 

We were! Probably birdseye flats and pins. Mama keeps asking me when she changed her woooooooooonderful fitted and tried to snap it up to give her some pins!

She told me she was gonna cpfs or flats with dd.

 

I was cd'd - prefolds, pins and rubber pants and so were my older brothers. My Mom has pics of the pf's drying on the line somewhere. My lovey was a pf!!! Mom never had to worry about me losing it, there was always another clean one to replace it LOL!!! My Mom loves to change Brian as long as she gets to pick out the diaper -she loves all the fun things I have for him

 

No.And to make things worse, I guess they used to tell people sposies decomposed well because I had to set my mom straight on that!.

 

I was way back in the day before they had disposable diapers. I remember watching my mom dunk my sister's diapers in the toilet when I was about 4 and thought how disgusting, I'm never doing that.

So here I am some 30 years later doing just that, albeit on a limited scale. But since I'm b/f I have yet to actually dunk a diaper! :LOL

 

I was a sposie baby. A formula baby, too, and an early solids (6 weeks!) baby, and my mom was a playpen devotee. Oh, and I had a walker too.

My mom wasn't a CIO mama, though, and we did occasionally co-sleep, only once we were past the newborn stage-- she had it in her head that co-sleeping with a tiny baby wasn't safe, so she had a bassinet next to the bed.

So it could have been worse! :LOL

 

I was. My mom washed her own, in an avacado green Kenmore washer. It survived 4 kids in the 70's, and then was passed down to me and my dh, who used it till we could buy our own.

I'm still sad I got rid of that set, I think it would be cool to wash my dd's cd's in the same machine as my mom used.........unless of course I get a cool front loader. :LOL

 

Yes gauze prefolds, pins, and plastic pants. How did she do it?

 

I wasn't but my little brother was. He had severe reactions to sposies and it turns out he ended up and still has severe asthma.

My little sister wasn't either and she's pregnant with her 1st and will be nutting but cloth for her baby. She's practiclly diapering for free. I have all my newborns dipes ready and waiting for her arrival. My dd will be exactly one year older than her arrival and I'm just handing her dipes my dd grows out of.

My parents are totally cool about me cloth diapering and my mom helpss me make the diapers. She has converted some ladies herself over to cloth.
