Hope you don't mind me popping over here to ask a question about CDs - twotrue let me know a number of you do it. I found a lot of 7 cds + 9 charcoal inserts for $50, but I don't know anything about the brand. Anyone have a review on Happy Flutes? It seems like a pretty inexpensive deal, but if they're not going to last very long or are made terribly then I'd rather just save the money and order different ones later. TIA!
I've CD'd my 20 month old from birth, with the exception of the last few months because his poop was out.of.control and I've never heard of that brand.
The don't sound too bad, for the money. What are your plans? CD from birth? Use them until potty training? If so, my opinion is to buy something a little better known. I really like fuzzibuns (one size) and softbums (though they are expensive. Bumgenius are great but bulky as all hell. My son won't let me put on on him for a second. He walks like he just got off a horse when he wears one. He's tiny, though.
CT, on this board, really likes Kawaii (I think that's how you spell it). I've tried to save money in the past and bought off babysteals, etc. and it's all been a waste of money.
The second site also has great reviews on CD safe bum cream and bags and accessories.
If you are planning on having more than one kid, I'd recommend investing in newborn diapers but I'm in the minority. My son was 5 lbs 6 oz and he wore his newborn diapers for 6 months. When they are that small, one size diapers rarely fit them. You can get prefolds (old school diapers that you fold in thirds) with a cover, but I didn't like it. They were so bulky on his tiny body. I split my newborn stash between Sloomb (pretty expensive but oh so wonderful!) and Kissaluvs. They are both fitted diapers, which require a cover but newborns pee so little and so often, I never used a cover, I just changed him when he felt wet. I got a few different brands of newborn AIO (all in one) fuzzibuns (which I didn't love, but were fine) and blueberry/swaddlebees (love!) and a few others when we were leaving the house so he wouldn't wet through.
Newborn cloth diapers are seriously the cutest things on the planet. Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks quinny. I've been stalking y'all's CD posts for a while now. I know so few people who do it. It's crazy. The Internet makes me feel like I should know more people, haha.
