I've used cloth wipes for 5 years on 3 different children.

1 peri bottle of plain distilled water
assorted homemade flannel and knit terry cloth wipes.

Ta-dah. Nary a diaper rash to be seen.

Kind of fun to see my photograph on your site. It's such a simple activity that keeps my three kids entertained for a very long time. Tip: if they paint in the shade, the pictures last longer.

I don't like gdiapers because they still contain the super absorbent polymer that despite big disposable companies saying is safe, I have my doubts. They are also famous for clogging plumbing and destroying septic tanks, so no thanks there.

But then, I'm biased. ;)

We use prefold diapers with snappi fasteners (no pins) and Bummis wraps. Along with Very Basic All in One Diapers from www.tallulahbaby.com that go on just like a disposable and have nothing but 100% cotton or hemp next to baby's skin.

There is no way I'd let my kids play around in absorbent polymer:

Cloth diapers in a pail (hanging bag or traditional diaper pail) is NOTHING compared to the stench of disposables. Seriously.

Oh! Have you guys not featured www.justorganizeyourstuff.com yet? It's a beautiful yet amazingly functional organizing system. It's gorgeous and it works. I love mine. She even has specialized stuff for organizing kid stuff. It's amazing.

Neon peach. By mistake. I took the quilt my mother made to the paint shop with me, matched the fabric, and viola, we have a shade of peach I've never heretofore seen.

The photo makes it look down right nice and normal. But it isn't. I'm currently planning to repaint.

I disagree with jjpp also, I have the exact changing pad just plopped on top of a rescued dresser. I've used it with all three of my children without barriers and without trouble. Nobody has taken a tumble. I'm tall, I'd HATE to change my baby on the floor (or bed) or somewhere else.

nicolej, I don't think that's a shredder, I think it's a printer. Calm yourself. :o)

All of that to say, this room doesn't seem very small! I don't have room for a rocking chair, a table, AND a crib in my nursery... hmmm, maybe I should enter.

Garnet Hill has the same wrong for a smidge cheaper for the largest size $1,398.00

Oh that's so ridiculous - what a lot of psycho babble. The same argument could be applied to parents who lazily let their children watch TV (thereby exposing them to the commercials for said plastic garishness). I know quite a few families who do the natural parenting / TV free thing, and those kids love their wooden Waldorf style cloth toys and are some of the brightest, most imaginative kids I know.

And their parents? Dedicated comes to mind, certainly not "selfish".
