This post is meant to be a one-stop shop for all of the questions that you have about the different styles of diapers you have to choose from. I will be reviewing the pros and cons of every style of diaper that I am familiar with, as well as the different fabric options for inserts.
There are hundreds of baby products out there and it can be so overwhelming to try and sort through them all! I'm honestly figuring out all of this mom stuff as I go, but I'm sharing my discoveries along the way!
The month that Calvin was born, I posted about what was packed in my hospital bag for when the big day finally arrived. Now that the whole ordeal is over and we are happy and healthy at home, I thought I would share with you the things that I needed, the things I could have done without, the things I didn't use at all, and the things that I really missed during labor, delivery, and our postpartum stay at the hospital.
This post is very long, but worth the read if you are considering converting to cloth diapers but aren't sure if they will actually save you money based on current diaper prices and the investment of cloth diapering. I break down the cost of disposable vs. cloth for the first year and the cost comparison until potty training in this post.
A rolling diaper cart is an absolute must have for me! We used it with disposable diapers and when we switched to cloth diapers and I still L O V E it.
Baby Merrell was due 5 days ago, so I figure it is about time I finally publish this post. My hospital bag has actually been packed and ready to go for a couple of months and living in the back of my car, just in case Baby decided to come early. That is obviously not the case, but I like being prepared anyway.
People like to talk and comment and feel important in other people's lives. It's human nature. But nature is no excuse for insensitivity or rudeness.
If you think I'm crazy for not knowing Baby Merrell's gender, you are definitely not alone.
The first trimester is rough, whether people know you're expecting or not.
