January 27, 2023 7:25 am | by

If you are wondering how to use cloth diapers with toddlers, this post is for you! Cloth diapering a toddler or preschooler is a little different from cloth diapering a snuggly baby who doesn’t do any wiggling. By this time, your priorities may have shifted… You might want a trim solution that will enable your baby to wear the right size pants, for example. Or, you might struggle to find a solution that doesn’t have compression leaks every time your toddler sits down. Whether you’re looking for a way to increase absorbency (to handle a toddler who is holding their pee and

Real Mom Talk: Christmas Crafts
December 23, 2022 12:35 pm | by

My kids and I decided to make homemade Christmas ornaments using salt dough this year. We haven’t done this before, and I really wanted to start doing things that I’ll be able to keep and look at years from now. Are you wondering how to make great salt dough? All you’ll need is flour, salt, water, a rolling pin, and cookie cutters. Then, if you want to paint your ornaments (we did!), then you’ll also need some paint and paintbrushes. We also made our ornaments scented, although after painting them, they weren’t scented anymore but it was fun while rolling

Are Prefolds the Best Cloth Diaper?
May 28, 2022 6:04 am | by
Real Mom Talk - Prefold Cloth Diapers

For generations, prefolds have been the staple of both cloth diapering families and cloth diaper services. Prefolds may even be the cloth diaper that your grandmother or mother used! They were a preferred diaper because they were durable, easy to wash, easy to use, and multi-purpose. 1. They are cheap. At $4 or less per diaper (depending on size and thickness) this is easily the cheapest way to cloth diaper. You can get enough diapers to get you through your baby’s entire diapering period for less than $200. 2. They are soft. After they quilt up in the first few

My Journey to Discovering MilkDaze Nursing Pads

milkdaze nursing pads

When I had my first baby, I was definitely learning everything as I went. Breast pads weren’t even on my radar before my first son was born. He surprised us by coming two weeks early and although I had everything I needed for labor and the baby, I was missing things I needed for myself. Thankfully my sweet sister offered to run out for anything I overlooked – one of which was a pack of disposable nursing pads. My First Baby: Disposable Nursing Pads My milk came in pretty quickly, so I was grateful to have them on hand. I quickly discovered

How to Set Yourself Up for Success with Breastfeeding

Just because breastfeeding is natural, doesn’t mean it’s always easy. If you are pregnant and plan on breastfeeding, set yourself up to succeed. Lactation Consultant If your hospital or midwife has a lactation consultant, meet with them to have your baby’s latch evaluated. Getting a good latch helps ensure baby is transferring milk and mama will not be in pain. A lactation consultant is a great resource for a new mom. Comfort Products When you first start breastfeeding, it is normal to experience engorgement and discomfort. Items like lanolin, nipple cream, and therapy packs provide relief.
