Selfie's take on CDing

[heyjude]

Gotta get this place moving...

Bottom line: she stopped b/c she thinks they prohibit development, her H refuses to deal with them, and they give her baby a big ass.

Enjoy!

Wtf is this shit

I found it funny how every time something was more difficult than he expected, he’d do a complete 180 on all our plans. “Cloth Diapers? Awesome idea! Oh, it’s not as easy as I thought? Let’s ditch them!” However when it was something I had to do for the sake of Alexis’ health, he was vigilant about it. Men!

[heyjude]

No seriously! He sounds like a poo! Hi Y4M!

[drloretta]

I'm so over her.

She's decided to parent in a vacuum. Read the selected things she wants to, then not actually talk to real parents. And her posts have the attitude that imply she's an expert. She'd get more sympathy if it was more "hey, I'm concerned about X, Y, and Z. Does anyone have feedback?"

But then she wouldn't get tons of traffic to her board.

She'll be back into CDs in 4 months and will talk about how wonderful they are again.

And way to pass the buck. My DH wasn't into CDs at first either. I just put them on her and he had to deal. Now he loves them.

[Deleted]

I also quit CDing DD as a newborn and started again when she was 4 months. So I get where she is coming from and I won't be surprised if she starts again.

But I also dont have an obnoxious blog

[mouseinlux]

That's hilarious! How did we all survive as kids? My fluffy bum was even fluffier than DD's and I'm walking around just fine now! Oh and I love the feel of DD's fluff, it feels so strange to pick up a baby thats in a sposy.
She's nuts and I'm a bit ticked at her!
Now this is fluffy!

[heyjude]

It sounds like she got all one size which would explain her fit issues. A curious move for someone "not doing it for the money."

She obviously didn't do her research!

It's classic double-speak. She says she's not doing it for the money, but then she says she doesn't want to waste all that $ she spent on clothes that don't fit.

Ha ha. This picture rules. I keep wanting to send her videos of DS crawling at 5 months with his big fluffy butt!

I think her real reason is that she is mad all the clothes she bought don't fit anymore or it is too much work. And seriously that is fine, just own up to it. I understand cloth diapers aren't for everyone.

[froggy76]

Oooh, I haven't read her blog since the infamous going home dress. Guess I know what I'm doing today!

But really, why spend a fortune on organic baby clothes if you're going to put a disposable on underneath?

[pixy0stix]

So I went sort of hulk smash on her blog and her FB page. She backed down on the "hinders movement development" crap.

This is what really gets me. I mean, really, her 3 mo isn't walking yet, so it must be the CDs.

[oregonpachey]

Her post bugged me but what was worse were some of the comments. I can't believe how self righteous some people are.

[Xyz]

It's because the diapers had too much gravity...like a small planet. She isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

And I predict her daughter goes all goth in high school and pierces her face. And uses mainstream black lipstick without a single organic product in it.

[pugz]

I loved seeing the smackdown on her blog/FB after that post.

I cannot handle that she truly thinks her baby is SO advanced and superior to other babies.

She clearly didn't. Lots of people pointed out to her that OS wouldn't fit a NB when she packed them in one of her gazillion hospital bags. But she knew better, 'cause the tag said it would work. Part of me wants to invite her on our CD boards, but I can't handle the reality of that.

I saw one of your posts on the blog, but when I went to check out FB, I couldn't find your comments.

I know that no one can really change Selfie's opinion on anything, but I hope that reader comments might inform lurkers.

[cj714]

She's a moron.

[chelsiann]

Oh I read that post, I stopped because it just pissed me off. I hate her, period.

[welshgirl]

I can't believe she lives in such a baby-worshipping vacuum that she just doesn't see that the diapers have NOTHING to do with movement and that her daughter was just on the verge of doign whatever silly movement she did, and that putting her in disposables had nothing to do with it. But then she's always been incredibly self-righteous and narrow-minded. But I still feel the need to read more and wind myself up...

[phdprocrastinator]

Lurker butting in...

It seems as if she was way more interested in the "cute" factor of cloth diapers and then came up with a reason to quit when they interfered with the cute clothes. Andplusalso, if they allowed their newborn to get so wet the "pee strip" was activated, I suspect they really didn't change her often enough. Maybe our baby was just a light peer, but the nurses at the hospital warned us against relying on the pee strips too young.

[lrachelle80]

I cannot stand her. She's so superficial. Boo hiss.

Yup. She totally gave up on them because it interfered with the "oh so cute and expensive organic" clothes she bought her DD. Ugh. Come on, babies grow so fast as newborns, she wasn't going to get a lot of wear out of them anyway, sposies or CDs. Just say they don't work for you and be done with it, don't come out with stupid cop out reasons for it.

[pugz]

I cannot handle how she photoshops her daughter's storkbite out of photos. She is so vain, that poor kid.

[dmfan]

I find that hilarious. Both of my DDs wore cloth diapers [DD1 from 3 months up, DD2 from birth]. DD1 walked at 9.5mths, DD2 walked around 8mths. So how about those darn cloth diapers prohibiting physical development? right...
