Fluff Butt: Our first CDing Excursion!

Sunday, August 31st, 2009

Last night was our first night out while CDing. I was sooo scared but decided to try it anyways. I do find it a little funny though because before I started I said that I was going to use Sposies whenever we went anywhere.

We were invited to my sister's In-Laws-to-be Hog Roast. We would be there from 7 pm until whenever we wanted to leave. Everything was outside, so no changing table, no trash cans, no sinks. I wanted the diaper to last for awhile so I put Caden in a Thirsties Fab Fitted, Thirsties, Duo Wrap and extra insert. I know that this combo last through the night so I figured it would last a few hours at the party. I packed another Thirsties Combo to put on for his night diaper and a Snap-Ez Eco with an extra insert just in case. I have not gotten my wet-bags yet so I also packed my Sassy Brand disposable scented diaper bags.

Thank goodness that I packed that extra Snap-Ez Eco because about half an hour after we arrived I smelled some stink. Caden had decided it was time to pooey. (while I was trying to eat also.) So I changed him into the Snap-Ez Eco and stuck the dirty one into a scented bag.

Later that night (around 10:30 p.m.) I decided to change him into his overnight diaper just to be on the safe side. I HAD FORGOTTEN AN EXTRA OUTFIT, so I had to make sure he didn't leak! The Snap-Ez Eco was just a little wet, not soaked at all. I also stuck that one into a seperate scented baggie.

He fell asleep shortly after that. When we got home, I just threw the scented baggies into the diaper pail and off to bed we went.

All-in-all, the night was a success. I was very surprised at how easy it turned out being. Really no different than if we were using disposables. (Especially when we go to the doctors, since we can't throw our diapers away there anyways!) I definitely will not hesitate using cloth diapers when we're out anymore!

p.s. The thirsties leaked later on that night/morning. I don't know why though? Maybe because he was in it longer than normal? He ended up sleeping until 10:30 am!

Fluff Butt: The first few days

I've been very busy the last couple of days because
I started NANNYING 2 days a week!
I watch sweet little Asher every
Thursday and Friday.
He's a very good baby!
(I'll have to ask his mommy if I can post pictures!)

That being said, Caden has been in and out of disposables (sposies) for the last couple of days. :(
My husband, Z, watches Caden on Thursdays while my mom, Queen C, watches him on Fridays. Both have said no to cloth diapering. I think I will bring Z around since CBug is in CDs all day and night when I'm home. I think he will see how easy it is, as long as I stuff the pockets and have everything ready! I'll keep you all updated on if I was able to convert him.

Whenever I'm home I've tried to keep him in CDs. The only night he was not in them was Thursday night when all the diapers were soaking wet in the washer! The first day we had quite a few leaks due to A. not being prepped enough and B. leaving him in them for too long. I've realized that I really need to check his diaper more often now.

Last night he was in a GroBaby and doubler from around 9 pm last night until 9 am this morning. When I went to bed around 1 am last night he was still dry. This morning he was wet, and had leaked, but it was not SOAKED... the diaper and the sheet underneath him were just a little damp. I think I may try it again with a different doubler.

It's now early afternoon and Caden is in a Fuzzibunz taking a nap. We'll see how it survives. I put him in it probably 10 minutes before I put him down. He also wore a Happy Heiny earlier, which held up very well! It wore it for a few hours and even did a #2! No Leaks!

We've also added 5 more diapers to the stash! We received the Kushies Ultra-lite Toddler size pack yesterday. They are being prepped as we speak!

Check back for an update on how it's all going!!
