We all deserve a pat on the back, because it is not as easy as it appears! I would have liked to go longer, but he was ready to stop. <br />As far as switching to cloth dipes... I had a few friends who had gone that route, and it was something I had always been interested in, but thought wasn't an option due to daycare. Turned out, it was an option, and after good reviews from my friends, decided it was worth a try. I chalk it up to being one more thing I wasn't well informed enough about... And that is a LONG list... Induction, c-section, perhaps circumsision, baby-weariing, cloth dipes... So much out there I did not do my research on, and just when the route I thought I was supposed to. Live and learn, right?<br />Nichole, the prefolds I didn't like because they don't absorb any of the moisture! The fabric is wet against the skin and I can't imagine how umcomfortable that would be! For a newborn, it would probably be okay, because they don't pee very much (volume) at a time, and it would probably be absorbed enough, but for an older baby who is peeing a lot, it seemed like it would be terribly uncomfortable. I love pockets. Love love love. I have a problem. I ordered more today. :-)Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02880202236565110754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632210324953299817.post-33367101442280460272009-11-10T13:37:47.930-08:002009-11-10T13:37:47.930-08:00Just found your blog-- sounds like our kids are th...Just found your blog-- sounds like our kids are the same age! I'm interested to learn more about why you chose to switch to cloth diapers at this age?<br /><br />And woo hoo on getting to a year and breastfeeding! I love the ribbons/awards you have on your sidebar touting your accomplishment-- what an accomplishment it is! We are at 14 months and still going (but only at night, and honestly, it's more for me than for the baby!)<br /><br />~Elizabeth<br />http://confessionsfromaworkingmom.blogspot.comConfessions From A Work-At-Home Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537552947779004296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632210324953299817.post-3619013626605098542009-11-09T10:17:18.365-08:002009-11-09T10:17:18.365-08:00I am an idiot!

We use bumgenius and LOVE them. <br /><br />I don't know if you have, but I noticed that you posted a few months ago about being sick of pumping... would you mind giving us an update on how breastfeeding is going and what it is looking like with a toddler? (If you still are nursing, of course, and I am sorry if you stopped and I and clueless!!)Casey from LifewithRoozle.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00872005408401412336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632210324953299817.post-65960464984477088382009-11-07T07:44:13.686-08:002009-11-07T07:44:13.686-08:00Yes, cute indeed. And on your last post about bre...Yes, cute indeed. And on your last post about breastfeeding - gosh, you did well to pump for a year. Nursing and being at home is so much easier than working and pumping, in my opinion. So yes, you did well (better than probably 99% of other mothers in fact). I hope you never feel bad about "only" doing it for a year.Ian Dunlophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14140001861276037578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632210324953299817.post-63997776556660880302009-10-30T07:11:40.025-07:002009-10-30T07:11:40.025-07:00they are so totally cute!they are so totally cute!Brandy@YDKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362084419708971995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3632210324953299817.post-59477640795331784952009-10-29T20:15:32.102-07:002009-10-29T20:15:32.102-07:00I am glad that you are liking them.
