<p>The Thirsties &#8220;FEED YOUR STASH&#8221; Friday Giveaway turnout was fabulous, and we fully expected it to be.  After all, <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Thirsties_bymfg_44-0-1.html" title="Thirsties">Thirsties</a> products are excellent, earth-friendly, baby products!  </p>
<p>I mentioned that <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Thirsties_bymfg_44-0-1.html" title="Thirsties">Thirsties</a> is a relatively new company, but their commitment to earth-friendliness is obvious both by their product standards, as well as their manufacturing process.  </p>
<p>A company that stands behind their convictions is refreshing, don&#8217;tcha think?</p>

<p><strong>THE WINNER GETS TO SELECT BOTH COLORS AND SIZES OF THEIR THIRSTIES PRODUCTS!</strong></p>
<h3>AND THE WINNER IS&#8230;</h3>
<p><strong>COMMENT #64 - CATIA</strong></p>
<p>In response to the question, &#8220;How do you select what cloth diaper brands you prefer? Earth friendliness? Color and Style availability? Recommendations?&#8221; Catia wrote:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;For us, we select brands based on value for our buck (read: onesize over sized, majority of the time, good resell value, long-lasting, etc., etc.) Then, I look at colours / availability (because it’s difficult to find certain things in Canada, grr!) and of course, people’s (both IRL and online) recommendations factor in, of course, since if someone *loves* it, even if I just “like it”, I probably won’t hate it! =)&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Congratulations Catia</strong> I&#8217;m certain you&#8217;ll love the <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Thirsties_bymfg_44-0-1.html" title="Thirsties">Thirsties</a> products from this giveaway! Please watch for my email requesting all the necessary information for shipping!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="captionleft"><a href="https://www.softclothbunz.com/Bumkins-Tote-Bag_p_18.html" title="What's In Tiffany's Diaper Bag?"><img src="http://www.clothdiaperblog.com/wp-content/themes/tma/images/latest/tiffanys-diaper-bag-470x175.jpg" alt="What's In Tiffany's Diaper Bag?" width="470" height="175" /></div>
<p></a>For parents who are new to cloth diapering, it can be difficult to determine what you may need in your diaper bag.  </p>
<p>I compiled a list of items I consistently keep in my daughter&#8217;s diaper bag for local outings below.  Keep in mind, my daughter is almost two years old, so if you use this list as a guide, you may need to carry additional items for an infant (like burping cloths, bibs, non-dried foods, etc).</p>
<h3>What&#8217;s in my Diaper Bag?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Travel wipes</li>
<li><a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Bumkins-Tote-Bag_p_18.html" title="Bumkins Tote Bag">Bumkins tote bag</a> w/ mesh net on outside</li>
<li>2 to 5 <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Cloth-Diapers_c_6.html" title="cloth diapers">cloth diapers</a>, depending on how long we&#8217;ll be gone</li>
<li>Extra <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Diaper-Covers_c_14.html" title="diaper cover">diaper cover</a>, just in case</li>
<li>Burt&#8217;s Bees Diaper Ointment <em>(Okay to use with cloth diapers in my experience.)</em></li>
<li>Reusable <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Fuzzi-Bunz-Changing-Pad_p_287.html" title="Fuzzi Bunz Changing Pad">changing pad</a></li>
<li>Change of clothes - more for dirt/food reasons than for diaper reasons</li>
<li>Snacks:
<ul>
<li>Trader Joe&#8217;s Dried Fruit Bars</li>
<li>Trader Joe&#8217;s Dried Fruit Bars</li>
<li>Nature&#8217;s Best Cereal Bars</li>
<li>Dried Apricots</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The Burt&#8217;s Bees diaper ointment rarely needs to be used, but we like to have it on hand just in case; check your diaper manufacturer&#8217;s recommendations before using to be certain.  We have cloth diapered for almost two years and have not had any problems with it washing off of the diapers.</p>
<h3>When traveling by road&hellip;</h3>
<p>When traveling by road, we carry most of our diapers &amp; covers.  If we plan to stay overnight where we can wash diapers, we also bring:</p>
<ul>
<li>Charlie&#8217;s Soap</li>
<li>A bottle of BacOut by BioKleen <em>(for soiled diapers only)</em></li>
<li>White Vinegar <em>(we add this to the rinse cycle)</em></li>
<li>Box of wipes</li>
<li>Two <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Bummis-Tote-Bags_p_10.html" title="Bummis Tote Bags">Bummis tote bags</a> <em>(one to hold diapers before the wash, then one that is dry and ready to use while the previous bag is being washed/dried)</em></li>
</ul>
<p>When we stay in hotels or travel by air, we reluctantly use disposables as they take up less room in our luggage.  There are also fewer space-occupying accessories with disposables, such as <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Diaper-Detergent-by-VASKA_p_283.html" title="Diaper Detergent">diaper detergent</a>, BacOut, etc.  We end up packing more clothes for everyone, as we often experience diaper leaks with disposables we would not experience with cloth.  I am also afraid of our cloth diapers getting lost, so I prefer to carry disposables when traveling by air.</p>
<p>Hopefully you have found these lists helpful!  What&#8217;s in <strong>YOUR</strong> diaper bag for local outings or when traveling?</p>

<p><a href="https://www.softclothbunz.com/Potty-Training_c_96.html" title="Potty Training">Potty training</a> is such a bittersweet time. On one hand, you are &#8220;oh so close&#8221; to eliminating diaper changes (yea!).  On the other hand, it is one more step your little one is taking away from you. </p>
<p>Right now, we are attempting to potty train our almost two year old. So far, she is doing really well. She tells us when she has to go, and she gets so excited when she makes it to the potty on time. You would think Elmo himself hung out in our bathroom for how excited she gets!</p>
<p>Still, we haven’t been without our trials. Let me tell you, it is <strong>NO FUN</strong> rolling-down poopy training pants. </p>
<p>Yuck. </p>
<p>And some days she flat out refuses to go anywhere near the bathroom door!  Obviously, potty training has its steps forward and back, but luckily, most of ours have been forward. </p>
<h3>Methods to the Madness</h3>
<p>There are so many methods and devices out there to choose from when potty training; you are bound to find one that works for you. We call our method the &#8220;turtle method&#8221;.  Why turtle?  Because we decided to take potty training &#8220;slow and steady&#8221; and not push her too hard.  In fact, for the most part, this has been a mainly &#8220;toddler lead&#8221; affair. </p>
<p>We let her decide when it is time to use the potty. I have personally seen the effects of parents who try to start too early and force their kids to potty learn before the child is on board. In my opinion, this is never the way to proceed and can lead to a lot of undue trauma. </p>
<p>Potty training should be fun, and okay, a little funny too! When we gave our daughter her first pack of &#8220;big girl panties&#8221; she was so in love with them she decided to put them on right then and there. </p>
<p>All six pair. </p>
<p>What are some of your funny <a href="https://www.softclothbunz.com/Potty-Training_c_96.html" title="Potty Training">Potty training</a> stories?</p>

It seems that every time we turn around someone else is putting out a new one-size diaper, but truly&#8230;one size POCKET diapers are our favorite for their absolute adjustable absorbency!  </p>
<p>Just so you know these <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/FuzziBunz-One-Size-Diaper_p_329.html" title="FuzziBunz One Size Diapers">FuzziBunz One Size Diapers</a> are meant to fit babies from birth to potty training (typically 7-35 lbs), which is quite a challenge for any cloth diaper. </p>
<p>Not afraid of a challenge, FuzziBunz One Size Diapers took a tip from the children&#8217;s clothing industry and built-in special button-adjusted waist and leg casings to meet that objective even better than solely using snap-setting adjustments.</p>
<p>The two (2) winners of the two (2) Fuzzi Bunz One Size Diapers will get to choose their size and color!</p>
<h3>SO LET&#8217;S GET ON WITH IT ALREADY!</h3>

<p>In response to the question, &#8220;How many styles of cloth diapers do you have in your stash? Are you a “one style” of cloth diaper kind of family or do you prefer variety?&#8221; Jenny was short and sweet when she wrote:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;just one style. too keep it simple.&#8221;</em></p>

<p>I am excited to introduce Tiffany, our newest contributor here at Cloth Diaper Blog!  </p>
<p>A strong advocate for Attachment Parenting, Tiffany writes, &#8220;it is my desire to share my experiences with other parents and guardians in the hopes of making parenting at least a little bit easier!&#8221;</p>
<p>We look forward to her posts and know you will too!  </p>
<h2>Tiffany, in her own words&hellip;</h2>
<p>My name is Tiffany and I am the mother of an almost two-year old daughter and have used natural parenting principles to raise her.  Cloth diapers have been an essential part of my parenting experience.  For environmental as well as financial concerns, my husband and I chose to use cloth.  It has helped us to save money as the diapers have paid for themselves.  It has also been my experience that cloth diapers offer more coverage compared to disposables and we very rarely experience any leakages.  If we have any more children, we definitely plan to do it all over again using cloth.</p>
<p>I am also passionate about Attachment Parenting and have read books from various authors regarding discipline using Attachment Parenting principles.  During pregnancy I followed the <a href="http://www.blueribbonbaby.org" title="Brewer Diet">Brewer Diet</a> and delivered my daughter using the <a href="http://www.bradleybirth.com" title="Bradley Method">Bradley Method</a>.  I am also very passionate about breastfeeding and co-sleeping.  </p>
<p>My guiding principle for parenting is my belief that my child&#8217;s needs are just as important as mine and that her needs should not be diminished just because of her smaller size.</p>
<p>In addition to full-time parenting, I work as a physical therapist in an outpatient clinic near my home, write for Examiner.com as the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-7342-Norfolk-Natural-Parenting-Examiner" title="Virginia Beach Natural Parenting Examiner">Virginia Beach Natural Parenting Examiner</a>, and sell ancient-forest friendly books for children as a <a href="http://booksforzoe.com" title="Barefoot Books Ambassador">Barefoot Books Ambassador</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Cloth-Diapers_c_6.html" title="cloth diapers"><img src="http://www.clothdiaperblog.com/wp-content/themes/tma/images/latest/my-husband-does-not-want-to-use-cloth-diapers-470x175.jpg" alt="My husband doesn't want to use cloth diapers." width="470" height="175" /></a></div>
<p>Many moms want to try <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Cloth-Diapers_c_6.html" title="cloth diapers">cloth diapers</a>, but are fearful of what &#8220;dear old dad&#8221; might think of the idea.  I often hear, <em>&#8220;I want to use cloth diapers, but I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;ll go for it.  I sure don&#8217;t want to get stuck with all the diaper changes.&#8221;</em> </p>
<p>In diapering, as in life, good communication and partnership is the formula to success.  Instead of resigning to full-time diaper duty, consider these tips and discussion points when bringing up the issue with Dad:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>DISPOSAL.</strong>  Cloth diapers are not much different than disposable diapers; instead of throwing them in the trash can, you throw them in the laundry pail or wash.</li>
<li><strong>POOP.</strong>  Poop can get on your hands whether you are changing a cloth or disposable diaper; luckily you probably have access to a sink and good soap!</li>
<li>If the poop question still prevails&hellip;an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.  Select a cloth diaper with an inner microfleece layer - solids will slide right off.</li>
<li>Besides microfleece, there are other <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Diapering-Accessories_c_4.html" title="cloth diapering accessories">cloth diapering accessories</a> to make changes easier and more hygienic; paper liners, sprayers that hook up to your toilet tank, and odor eating sprays.</li>
<li><strong>COST.</strong>  Most families will spend up $2500 on disposable diapers from birth to potty training!  A stash of cloth diapers, including the water and electricity used to wash and care for them, costs an average of $900.  Cloth diapers can even be used for subsequent children for greater savings.</li>
<li><strong>WASHING MACHINE.</strong>  Do not fear using your family&#8217;s washing machine to wash cloth diapers.  Washers are equipped to handle even the heaviest soiled items without lingering odors or messes; everything will come out &#8220;in the wash&#8221;.</li>
<li><strong>ODOR.</strong>  There is less odor when using cloth diapers than with disposables.  With cloth diapers poop is flushed away to the proper sewage treatment facilities before putting the cloth diaper in the pail; disposable diapers &#8220;hold&#8221; the poop IN THE DIAPER PAIL until trash day.</li>
<li><strong>RUBBER PANTS.</strong>  Rubber pants are a thing of the past. Unless you really, really want to use them, you don&#8217;t have to use rubber pants OR diaper pins.  Securing a cloth diaper around baby is as easy as putting on a disposable diaper.</li>
</ul>
<p>Experience has shown that when Dad&#8217;s concerns are respectfully addressed in a logical manner, even the most reluctant are willing to try.</p>
<p>The advances in cloth diapering are huge; designed to make caring for baby&#8217;s basic needs far easier, <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Cloth-Diapers_c_6.html" title="cloth diapers">cloth diapers</a> are also safer and more cost effective.  <strong>Who wouldn&#8217;t want that for their family?</strong> </p>
<p>If after all that Dad still isn&#8217;t convinced, buy him a pair of paper underwear and challenge him to wear for them for a day.  What do you bet he won&#8217;t want disposables for his baby once he gets a &#8220;feel&#8221; for it himself.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="captionleft"><a href="http://www.clothdiaperblog.com/feed-your-stash-friday-3-winners-swim-diapers/" title="Feed Your Stash Friday: Imse Vimse Swim Diapers"><img src="http://www.clothdiaperblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/feed-your-stash-imse-imse-500.jpg" alt="" title="Feed Your Stash Friday: Imse Vimse Winners!" width="499" height="435" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-677" /></a></div>
<p>At the pool this week I saw a Toddler waddling around the kiddie pool with a disposable diaper full to capacity with water.  It looked like a giant tumor pulling on this little one&#8217;s bum; I felt so sorry for her.  </p>
<p>As I watched her struggle to even walk in that thing I glanced at all the other children in the kiddie pool and considered the amount sodium polyacrylate gel that was likely falling off that disposable and floating about in the pool.  </p>
<p>EEEEWWW!  </p>
<p>I was thankful my children are now all of age to swim in the &#8220;big pool&#8221;.</p>
<p>That said, you can imagine how it brings me GREAT JOY to announce not one, but THREE WINNERS from last week&#8217;s <a href="http://www.clothdiaperblog.com/feed-your-stash-friday-3-winners-swim-diapers/" title="Imse Vimse SWIM DIAPER Giveaway">&#8220;FEED  YOUR STASH&#8221; Friday: Imse Vimse SWIM DIAPER Giveaway!!</a></p>
<p>Did you READ all the comments to last week&#8217;s entry question?  BWAHAHAHA!</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s one that tickled the funny bone:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;My then-two-year-old son told me he had to pee. I pulled him out of the baby pool as fast as I could, but not fast enough. He dropped his drawers and peed right on the concrete, right in front of all the other moms.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>And then, I doubled over at Megan&#8217;s story:</strong></p>
<p><em>&#8220;We just came back from an amazing trip to Jamaica. It was our first time traveling with Gavin (10 months) and his first time in the ocean. A friend gave us a pack of Little Swimmers that they hadn’t used so we thought we were set. So one lovely day we’re hanging out in the ocean, when my mom points to a piece of orange substance floating in the water. We then notice several more particles of all different shapes and sizes surrounding us. The area around us cleared quite quickly as people realized that they were swimming in my son’s feces! Awkward!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Definitely AWKWARD.  And hysterical. Megan, we aren&#8217;t laughing AT YOU; we&#8217;re laughing WITH you! </p>
<h2>SO WHO ARE THE THREE WINNERS ALREADY?!</h2>
<p>The three winners from last week&#8217;s &#8220;FEED  YOUR STASH&#8221; Friday: <a href="http://www.clothdiaperblog.com/feed-your-stash-friday-3-winners-swim-diapers/" title="Imse Vimse SWIM DIAPER Giveaway">Imse Vimse SWIM DIAPER Giveaway</a> will receive one (1) <a href="http://www.softclothbunz.com/Imse-Vimse-Swim-Diaper_p_93.html" title="Imse Vimse Swim Diaper">Imse Vimse Swim Diaper</a> each. </p>
