okay so I know its been a while... I've been pretty busy, and had some rough times... 1st I started to use some pocket diapers called SUNBABY, I heard lots of reviews from babycenter, and I thought I would try them. I ordered 3 for 18 bucks pretty cheap! they come with microfiber inserts (which absorb a lot but have been know to have compression leaks) well after using these inserts doubled up with hemp for night they started to smell like ammonia... I was pissed beyond words. So mf holds or retains more of the urine/soap, and because i started to use my wonder washer i was using less water.
Anyways i took the mf that i had used and trashed it, and boiled my gflappers and flats (i was able to boil these bc they are natural fibers) i made sure that there was no soap on them then i washed in the wonder washer like 3 at a time with no soap just plain water washes! it worked no more smelly ammonia, i also think that i started to get lazy with washing and was washing every 3 days (doing bigger loads, so my diapers weren't getting the proper rinsing necessary to get clean!) now I'm washing every morning, yes at times it a hassle but I'm making sure all my diapers are clean i only have to wash 6/8 diapers (inside parts) and maybe one cover if it gets pooped if not i wash all covers every 2 weeks! Its working great and my wash time is like 30 mins start to finish! we did fight off the amonina... and will not be using microfiber again, its better to stick to natural fibers for me and my baby! i am however looking into making my own diapers ... maybe.. i dont even know how to wrk a sewing machine but im sure i can learn!! <3 <3 more to come soon
now on to my baby.... she growing so fast, she sits up already on her own its so cute! last night she slept in her own bed! she did however wake up to eat at 4am but im okay with it as long as she goes back to bed! i woke up scared because my baby wasnt in bed with me then i look over and shes fast alseep! yay! soo proud!!! She is also eating like a champ! 3 meals aday some days are way better than other but she does eat food and im exvited! she likes to feed herself which its great, doesnt fuss too much! I, We have been truly blessed! we also went to the aquarium last week and did a meet up with some other mothers from baby center! it was great we all had a good time! i love to take picures of my hubby babywearing!
