I know this can't be even remotely easy on any of you. <BR/><BR/>Patrick and I have (kind of) talked about cloth diapers and I've pretty much decided that's a route I want to go when we finally bring our little one home. I've read about the bumgenious ones and it seems like they're so much easier than the older versions. I've even put a bug in my mom's ear and am hoping she spends the dough to buy the first couple set-up packs hahPolka Dothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633374196156501103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-66236852741189633612008-09-23T16:55:00.000-04:002008-09-23T16:55:00.000-04:00I think I have the type of stroller you want and I...I think I have the type of stroller you want and I like it.

I'm mostly using the prefolds with prorap covers, and one nice Bummis superwhisper wrap cover... but the coolest thing I noticed is that cloth diapers contain blowouts MUCH better than disposables. We still use disposables at night. Also I started drying the prefolds on a clothesline and the sun always bleaches them completely clean.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12627330189814604776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-23107321237044819912008-09-22T21:36:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:36:00.000-04:00We use cloth diapers too!

Lately I'm all about the Bum.kins all-in-ones that are easiest of all. Love cloth! And, they are way cuter than disposables.<BR/><BR/>Stroller - me, I've been a big, big fan of Mac.Lar.en. We have a Triumph that was really put through it and still is fine (in need of a wash, but fine).<BR/><BR/>Also, Lansinoh makes breastfeeding pads especially for sore and sensitive nipples. I use them all the time because they are so soft and nice.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516563063393712991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-52319855527630303022008-09-22T21:03:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:03:00.000-04:00Bleeding nipples?Oh my...ouch, you poor thing!

I am also having problems due to plugged ducts, and I am starting to get desperate!<BR/><BR/>I believe you have already done so, but kellymom.com has plenty of information and tips.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry your mom is having such a hard time. It is always difficult for adults to adjust to new tech gadgets. I really hope it gets better!<BR/><BR/>About the stroller, since the beginning I decided that my priorities were good suspension, turning system, and able to take it on long walks/jog. I ended up getting an expensive one (Quinny Buzz) and I am extremely happy with it.T-Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363028438727208029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-12725195497190958542008-09-22T14:25:00.000-04:002008-09-22T14:25:00.000-04:00Sorry about your mom - I'll keep her in my thought...Sorry about your mom - I'll keep her in my thoughts and prayers and I hope things smooth out soon with her.

I give you a lot of credit for doing cloth diapers, I just don't think I could add that onto my plate at the moment. Lemy is enough to keep me busy and I barely get to do any laundry at all. Bleh.<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you and your mom.

For me, it always seemed to be a result of me using too much suction on my pump. It's still scary though. <BR/><BR/>2- If I were you, I wouldn't get more than one of each type of stroller. If you already have a light weight, I wouldn't get another one. If I were you, I'd got for a jogger with a swivel wheel. It is a MUST, seriously. I got to where I only used my jogger...took it everywhere with me...perfect for the beach. Plus, I'd invest in a good umbrella stroller if I were you...that's about all I use now that I had to sell my jogger. <BR/><BR/>3- I'm sorry your mom isn't doing well. I know I've mentioned before that my dad has some problems as well, so I know how it feels when you hear their hormones are out of whack yet again (thyroid for my dad mostly). Hopefully, they'll get it all worked out soon and she'll feel better and much less overwhelmed. <BR/><BR/>4 - Keep me informed on the cloth diapers. I kind of feel like I'm going to have to use them with twins since disposables are so expensive (and I'm still buying diapers for Lila...diapers x 3!). I'm most interested in the all in ones like Bu.m Ge.nius, but I've had a friend lend me some other brand to give a shot in the beginning just to see if I think I can handle it.Chastityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630031458932527817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-67930262734971337782008-09-22T09:09:00.000-04:002008-09-22T09:09:00.000-04:00Blood is scary!

Everything has healed up since then, I let them air dry as much as possible (at home) and used a little bit of lansinoh every time I got dressed so they wouldn't be aggravated by rubbing against clothing. Good for you resting and putting your feet up. YOu need a break!<BR/><BR/>Sorry your mom is having such a stressful time :-( Hugs!E.
