Ergo Giveaway

MMB (Mommy's Milk Boutique) is giving away an Ergo carrier!!! I am really excited about this, as I have REALLY wanted to try it but have been hesitant due to the price. However, I have heard really GREAT things about them. They are durable and better for baby and momma/daddy, because they distribute the wait more evenly for both baby and the parent carrying the baby. With a 400 count thread count is should be super soft and the shoulder straps have high density foam! Not to mention the versatility of carrying your baby front or back.

Here is the giveaway link (good luck!):

DDL Little Comfort OS Bamboo Nappy Giveaway

Little Comfort is an Irish company. The owner wanted to cloth diaper her daughter for many of the same reasons that other cloth diapering moms. She couldn't find a diaper available that had what she wanted at an economical price so she decided to design her own, thus the Little Comfort Nappies and covers were born!

The bamboo nappy is a one size snap fitted that is super soft and made of bamboo. Since it is a fitted it does need a cover. It comes with 2 boosters and runs about $20.

Dirty Diaper Laundry gave Little Comfort Nappies a great review:

Loving the Smartipants but nights are still wet

I am still loving the Smartipants they are working great for both of my little ones during the day. However, my daughter is a heavy wetter and she is waking up wet even with the diapers double stuffed. I really do not think that the Smaritpants covers can take three inserts, as it is really snug with two.

I have heard many different solutions, and successes with different types of diapers. I am wondering if moms have a day time and a night time stash. As I am still fairly new the the cloth diapering , this had not occurred to me before now. I am getting a Bum Genius 3.0 pocket from Kelly's Closet and give it a try. Maybe this will help with out night time situation. If it does I may buy a few more for just night time use. Though as our funds are currently low that may have to wait.

Skip Hop Bag Review

My Skip Hop bag arrived in the mail! I purchase the ocean stripped Duo Deluxe Edition, so it was gender neutral and could be used for both kiddos. I love all the pockets! There are 2 outside front pockets; one mesh pockets that could be good for water bottle, sippy cup or bottle; another side pocket that could be good for a cell phone; two zippered pockets at the top; a back pocket/pouch for a changing pad and four inside pockets. The bag it made of a canvas like material on the outside and a nylon like material on the inside so it should be fairly easy to clean. Since my son is in disposable diapers currently (until he is big enough for the cloth diapers we have (which mainly consist of Smartipants), the diaper bag will be great. However, when he can fit into the cloth diaper bags I am not so sure that I'll have room for everything because cloth diapers ten to take up more room.

But right now I have room for the following: 3 to 4 newborn disposable diapers; 2 Smartipants cloth diapers; a changing pad; a sippy cup; 2 extra outfits for each (newborn & toddler); small hand sanitizer; a mini first aid kit (band aids, thermometer, Little tummies, saline solution, nasal aspirator, antiseptic ointment, lanolin ointment, teething ointment); cell phone & wallet.

Booroi Diapers

I came across a new-to-me daper: Booroi. Booroi is an Australian cloth diaper company. Booroi actually means baby in the language of Australian Aborigines. The Booroi system consists of a sized Nappi Cover (in various colors) and a Pre-fold Nappi which are sold separately. Nappi is an English (England/Britain) term for diaper. The cool thing about this pre-fold system is that the diaper cover has an elastic area that you can simply tuck a pre-fold folded into thirds into. This "pouch" for lack of a better explanation also provides extra leg gusset to hold in leaks and messes better. You do not have to worry with the folding on the baby. For me, it made pre-fold much less intimidated and you can reuse the covers! The covers are made with a soft breathable PUL, are side snapped, and come in the sizes: small, medium, & large. Booroi covers run about $15. The pre-folds are made with bamboo fleece on one side and Bamboo terry on the other and an inner layer of thirsty bamboo fleece. You can get a six pack of Nappi pre-folds with a zipper wet bag for about $60 & some sites offer one at a time purchases of about $10 each.

My sites offer a trial version of : one cover, one pre-fold, three wipes, & a wipe bag for $20. I decided to try this system out and I needed a wipe bag anyway.

I found it takes a little bit of an adjustment to fit the diaper on, but I love it! The are absorbent and the leg gussets hold in mess and leak very well. I got a small so it fits my son but not my daughter. My husband refuses to use this diaper because he says it's too intimidating but it really is simple. I would definitely recommend this diaper.
