Day 4: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

One of the things that we were discussing yesterday on our local Flats & Handwashing page is how, for the most part, we love the challenge, and we'll more than likely continue to use flats.  While the handwashing part isn't all that bad, it's the general consensus that we'll probably stick to our washers and dryers once we're done! I definitely don't mind handwashing right now, for this week, but once it's over, it will be nice to have a break. I am thankful that I have a washer and dryer for the days that I just don't have much…

Day 3: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Well, the good news we have water tonight!  We didn't lose pressure like we did last night! Of all weeks to lose water, two nights in a row, we lose it during the flats challenge!! We shall persevere! I like to use flats a couple of ways!  I like the origami fold when I'm looking for a quick fold that I don't have to think about.  I think it's because I'm more used to folding this way.  I also like to use the kite fold, but for some reason, I always have to take a look an already folded diaper,…

Day 2: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Day two of the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge went much like day one!! I was able to get yesterday's set of dirty diapers washed this morning when the water was back on, and started on my way to a day of flats and covers again! Low and behold, right after dinner tonight, the SAME thing happened with the water!  All of a sudden, there was very little water pressure, and we had to wait forever for just enough water to get about an inch worth to bathe the boys!  I guess I will be washing today's set in…

Day 1: Flats and Handwashing Challenge – #flatschallenge #clothdiapers

Today marked the beginning of the Second Annual Flats and Handwashing Challenge! I decided to take part in the flat challenge because I wanted to pay homage to our fore-mothers.  We spend so much time searching for the diapers that's going to be the easiest to put on, the fastest to wash and dry, the easiest for our husbands and care givers.  But really, having to handwash flat diapers and covers really isn't that much more of a challenge (when you have a exclusively breastfed baby) than using modern cloth diapers and machines. If you really stop and think about it, cloth diapering isn't…

I've written about my problems with breastfeeding before.  It hasn't been catastrophic or anything but recurring plugged ducts can not only be excruciatingly painful but they will also drain the life out of you in a heartbeat. On top of my prenatals I also take several supplements daily including: Vitamin C Lecithin Fenugreek Fish oil Probiotics I was introduced to Tropical Traditions Antioxidant Natural Greens, and I really like that it is packed full of lecithin which has been extremely helpful with my duct issues. Although I cant give you medical advice I will say that my midwife recommended that…
