Diaper stash pictures

Okay, here is my stash...

All of the prefolds and inserts

Here is the Blueberry pocket diaper and the Blueberry insert along with the Sunbaby insert

It is called a pocket diaper because you place the inserts in the pocket so it isn't right next to the baby's skin.

This is the Sunbaby diaper and the Flip insert. The insert has 3 sizes that is folded down to fit during all of the sizes of the one size diapers.

It is also inserted in the same way because it is a pocket diaper.

The difference between the Blueberry and the Sunbaby is that the Sunbaby has a flap that covers the back of the insert area.

This is the Econobum diaper with the regular Chinese prefold.

You just put the prefold inside the diaper.  When it is on the small setting, you have to fold the top down a little bit.  I keep hers to the front because it seems to work better that way.

This is the Flip cover with a regular Chinese prefold.

The difference between the Flip cover and the Econobum cover is that there are pockets on the front and back that the prefold is tucked into so that it is more secure.

This is most of the stash folded and put away.  The Econobums and the flip diapers are used multiple times before washing them.  The Sunbaby diapers and the Blueberry diaper are one use only.  You wipe the Econobums and Flip diapers out.  I usually use them 2-3 times or until they get poop on them.  Even if it is the first use, poop means washing them!

I hope that this cleared up some of the questions people had about what I was talking about.  I truly love my cloth diapers!

My diaper stash

I have 2 sub brands of BumGenius cloth diapers.  I have 2 Flip system diapers and 6 Econobums.  I also have a Blueberry pocket and 6 Sunbaby diapers.  I bought 24 Chinese prefolds to use with the Econobums.  The Flip system came with 3 inserts each making 6 inserts from that and I also have 6 Sunbaby inserts and one Blueberry insert.  I have found that I did NOT like the Flip inserts in the Flip diapers.  They were good, but the prefolds just worked better, so I started to use the prefolds for the Econobums and the Flip diapers. My first use of the Blueberry diaper made me more than disappointed.  I hated the insert.  It didn't hold anything and it made me mad.  The Sunbaby diapers were somewhat of a disappointment.  Since they are a pocket diaper and not just a prefold and cover the inside fabric seemed to wick wetness to the outside of the diaper instead of keeping it all in.  Well, I started to think about what I had and decided to put the Flip insert inside the Sunbaby diapers.  It worked much better! With all of the Sunbaby inserts out of commission, I decided to try doubling up on the Blueberry inserts with the one it came with and a Sunbaby insert.  Much better.  I am now happy with all of my diapers.  The Flip system is used for overnight (never had a leak!).  Sunbaby diapers and the Blueberry are for regular day use and the Econobums are used for naps and the morning diaper after her night feeding. With the diapers I have, I wash diapers once every 3 days.  For the future, I think I would get a couple more Flip diaper covers.  They do have potty trainer Flip diapers that I plan on getting for Marsi since they can be put on like regular panties.  I am so glad that I decided on cloth diapers.  She has only ever had a blowout with cloth ONE TIME ever!  I would recommend them to anyone.  My last little piece of random wisdom is that if you don't want cloth diapers to stink to high heaven, don't use regular detergent.  Use one that is free of almost everything.  I am going to try this recipe when I am done with my free and clear laundry detergent I am using now. Don't use softeners. Don't use bleach. Rinse all poopy diapers right after changing the baby and keep used diapers in an OPEN container. Random post, but I had to share.

Best Dad Ever!

I swear that Endrit is the best dad ever!  After Marsi's bath today I was playing with her hair making it stick straight up.  Endrit said "just a second" and made his hair stand on end.  So, I said, "you know what that means, right?" PICTURE TIME!  Marsi was a good sport and I love this picture of them!

Bath-time for the baby

Sorry about the focus, but I absolutely love to watch Marsi in the bath. She LOVES her bath-time!

We Are A Utes Family!

When I was pregnant and knew Marsi was a girl, I went on a quest to find a baby girl Utes outfit.  We are really big U fans so I loved it when I found this cute dress at the second hand store for $3.  Well, last Sunday was the day to have us go to church as a Utes family.  I called to Endrit to put on his red tie for the occasion.  I am glad our camera has a timer because we got a pretty good family shot.

Marsi is a beautiful little Utah Ute!

Learning SO many things!

It is amazing how many things Marsi learns on a daily basis.  She learned that the lion on her play mat is a rattle and she likes to bat it around and grab for it.  She is learning that she can make a myriad of noises from her mouth and it makes Mommy smile and talk to her.  She is learning that the ducks are fuzzy and fun to pet.  Recently, she is starting to learn that she can roll in different directions. She is trying so hard to be able to roll completely from front to back.  She has mastered rolling to her side.  It is really cute to watch her.

She has learned to click her tongue and LOVES it when Mommy and Daddy decide to mimic her.  So many smiles from her when we do the noises that she makes when she is happy.  We love her so much.  And for tradition, here is her Sunday dress for the week.

Such a Happy Baby

It is so fun to watch Marsi smile.  Today when she woke up from her nap in her crib she was fussing a little.  I went in and talked to her and she got the biggest smile on her face and completely stopped fussing.  I think she likes Mommy.  She has been super smiley all day so I decided to get a picture of it.  After 20 or so pictures, I got her beautiful gummy smile.  Man, I love this little girl!
