Heart kids frequent the hospital. He isn't currently in the hospital, but is likely to return at sometime. <br />Antibiotics also give him diarrhea... so no easy scheduling of poo :PFrofinStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17758680615035281566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344858758742397612.post-79429445501766916182011-05-20T19:50:37.017-05:002011-05-20T19:50:37.017-05:00Well, when I used cloth it was abt 38 years ago! ...Well, when I used cloth it was abt 38 years ago! A little different then they have them now...we used diaper pins and plastic pants over top...my grandson is visiting this weekend and we're doing the cloth diapers...don't know what bthey're called but they have a Y shaped snappy to hold them together and some 'covers' my son calls them...you just have to make sure that the cloth is all tucked in! They're not too difficult, thank goodness!secondofwetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462115510280650016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344858758742397612.post-87156175808384604882011-05-20T17:31:12.869-05:002011-05-20T17:31:12.869-05:00also, for dirty inserts, if your little one has a ...also, for dirty inserts, if your little one has a "pooping pattern" and you can pretty much guess when he is going to poop (we have been blessed with a baby who usually poops just once a day now), you can use diaper liners and just toss it without having to clean the insert. What works even better than manufactured inserts is to dry out baby wipes and lay them on top (you may need to for length depending on the brand). They make great poop catchers :-) When they get older and the poo gets more firm, you can just shake it off in the toilet. If it's newborn poo, you don't really have to pre-rinse it because it is so thin. If it's sticky, then you should wash it off first... we used to have a diaper sprayer (similar to a kitchen sink sprayer) hooked up to our toilet, but I'm sure you couldn't do that in the hospital.<br />I never really "handle" the inserts... I dump them out of the liner into the diaper pail, and I dump them out of the pail into the wash.<br /><br />I have also used the FLIP disposable inserts, and they work well. I don't think their terribly economical, but I also don't think they are terribly popular because cottonbabies.com will let you select a pack for free with the purchase of a FLIP. I have never tried composting... I don't have the green thumbs that the rest of my family got :-phappymcfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491988000951022912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344858758742397612.post-21512553203969795302011-05-20T17:20:21.127-05:002011-05-20T17:20:21.127-05:00Came over here from Company Girl.

I have used the bumgenius all in ones, econobums, flips, fuzzibunz, thirsties, and some super-cute patterned off brand dipes, but hands down my faves are the FLIPs. Econobums are fine for the price, but they don't have the pockets in the front and back, and then there is the bulk of the prefold (although the absorbancy is fine). I am phasing out my other dipes because FLIPs are just my faves. With All In Ones, I have gotten leaks more often. So I definitely prefer the cover option. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE detergent is Rockin Green (don't like the orangevana scent, love Rage Against the Raspberry, havent' tried others yet). My routine is warm rinse (no detergent) hot wash (with detergent) cold rinse (no detergent). I also LOVE Hemp Babies doublers... they hold a lot of extra weight without the bulk! For wipes I use baby bum drops wipes solution in a squirt bottle, and wipe some fleece I bought at joanne's and cut into squares.<br /><br />I haven't caught up on why your little fella is in the hospital but prayers your way.happymcfamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491988000951022912noreply@blogger.com
