Affordable Diapers

Help my daughter is almost 4yrs old and still is not potty trained, I’ve tried everything – what can I do?

I have 3 children, a 5 & 3 yr old daughters and 15 month old son, My 1st daughter was potty trained by the age of 2. My second daughter is going to be 4 in February and still has no interest in going on the potty. I have tried everything from pull-ups, training pants, time out, talking about it, videos, books and even giving her the choice of a diaper or underware (she always chooses the underware). I cannot keep her in pull-ups she breaks out in a horrible rash. and I do not want to live covering everything in plastic or having everything stained with pee. what do i do? help?

keep her in Diapers…this should be her choice, and she is obviously not ready to be trained…when she’s ready, you’ll know…if she hits 5 and is still in diapers try some various things, maybe waiting to change her when she has a poopy diaper…for now though, diapers….as far as 5 year olds having to be trained that’s not necessarily true…for one, most kids will be 5 for at least a couple months before kindergarten and they can be pushed then…other kids will be kept out kindergarten by their parents, because they are still in diapers, and the one year is propably not a big deal….plus, there are kindergartens that accept children in diapers now….they’ll just require you to supply your daughter’s diapers…good luck!

Diapers Green

Cloth Diapering and the Environment

“Going green” seems to be the mantra of today’s society. We are being more frugal with energy, cutting down on waste, and reusing whatever we can. When you add a new baby to your life, you suddenly realize that being “green” is not going to be as easy as you might wish. Babies come with lots of “stuff,” and that stuff creates lots of waste. If you want to be a green parent, one thing you might be considering is cloth diapering. Before you make the investment into cloth diapers, read the pros and cons of this diapering option.

Pros of Cloth Diapering

Cloth diapers are less harmful to the environment, because they create less waste. Disposable diapers never break down completely, so every time you throw away a disposable diaper, you are adding something to the landfills that will always be there. There is no waste materials to add to landfills with a cloth diaper.

Using cloth diapers can actually save you money. You can limit your monetary investment into cloth diapers by purchasing a brand which has a one size fits all sizing scheme. Parents who use disposable diapers tend to run out at the worst times and need to run to the store to get additional supplies. You do not have to run to the store to get clean diapers, just your laundry room.

Some parents notice their children show an interest in potty training earlier when using cloth diapers. Disposable diapers do a great job of keeping wetness away from the skin, but this can make potty training difficult. The child does not feel “wet” when the diaper is wet, so learning when it is time to go is hard. With cloth diapers, the child feels wetness on his skin when the diaper is wet, which can push him towards potty training early.

Cons of Cloth Diapers

Cloth diapers can cost a bundle to purchase initially. There are many different vendors, and you can even buy the diapers and covers used, but some of the best diapers cost as much as $300 to $500 to get a beginning set. This can cause many parents to turn away, even though they will spend much more than that over their child’s lifetime if they are buying disposables time and time again.

While cloth diapers do keep the landfills more clear, they are not completely environmentally friendly as might be thought. It does take a bit more energy to wash and dry these diapers. They have to be washed in hot water, which takes a lot of energy. This also adds to the cost factor, as it increases your utility bills.

Some parents find cloth diapers difficult to manage while out in public. Transporting soiled cloth diapers can be daunting, but there are products which can be used to help parents with this task. It is particularly difficult to manage while traveling when you may not have access to a washing machine. Don’t forget the good news! You can use disposables during those infrequent times you do not have access to a washing machine or dryer and still use cloth the majority of the time if you want.

So are cloth diapers for you? It is up to you to decide. Before you decide, do some research into the cleaning and care of cloth diapers to help you determine whether or not you might enjoy clothe diapering. If you feel like you can manage it, then you can do your part to help protect the environment by diapering your baby with cloth.

What is causing my baby to have green diarrhea?

I am exclusively pumping. When I give my baby just straight breastmilk he gets green diarrhea and a terrible diaper rash and is really fussy after eating. I switched to formula for a few days to see if it would make a difference. When I give him formula (Enfamil Gentlease) his stool returns to a mustard color and his rash clears up. What could be the problem?

Sounds like a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance to me. How old is your baby? May I ask why you’re pumping? My guess is that you’re not completely emptying the breast so your son isn’t getting much hindmilk.

Here is an article on foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. You can also just google “hindmilk foremilk imbalance” and read more
