</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of the most frequent questions I get once someone learns that I use cloth diapers on my son is “What about the poop?!?” I think this is the thing that scares the most people away from cloth diapering, when really it does not need to be a concern at all. There are some great products out there to help you get rid of the “solids” from your diapers making washing a breeze and keeping the stinkies away from your diaper pail.</div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xonPEOLVsa0/Tiop12e53RI/AAAAAAAAAYU/FXZJOLRv0MA/s1600/Bummis3.jpg" style="float: right;"><span style="color: blue;"><br />
</span></a></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Now when I first started cloth diapering A.C., I was very paranoid about the poop, and worried it would stain all of my diapers and be a big mess. I started using flushable liners, but didn’t find them all that effective against his exclusively breastfed poops. In talking to a few friends I found that I was the one doing it wrong… Exclusively breastfed babies produce poop that is completely water soluble, and in most cases has very little odour - no rinsing or liners required! I stopped using liners until we started to introduce other foods into A.C’s diet at 6 months. Now we can <b>easily flush away the solids (and the smell)</b> before putting the diaper in the diaper pail. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">There are many different brands of liners out there, and I have tried several. The ones that we use most often are <b><a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16438&cat=292&bestseller=Y">Bummis Bio-soft Liners</a>.</b></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As the name states these liners are super soft, but don’t let this fool you these liners are up to the job. They are the perfect size to lay flat inside every pocket diaper I have tested them on (including <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16597&cat=263&page=1">Baby Kicks 3g</a>). Although they may look thin (like a dryer sheet), they hold up well in all situations including overnight and never disintegrate. Overall they work great and really do <b>make clean up a breeze</b>.<br />
A note from my personal experience – <b>toilet paper or Kleenex are not good stand ins</b> when you run out of liners. So make sure you get more once you open your last roll!</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">These liners worked amazing during our transition to solids and made an icky situation so easy to deal with. Using the <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16438&cat=262&page=1">Bummis Bio-soft liners</a> we have never had to spray our diapers or had any problems with solids sticking to the diaper. Now that A.C. is pretty predictable in the poop department, I just put liners in the “high risk” diapers. When they are poopy I just flip them into the toilet, and if they are just wet I just drop it into the garbage pail. We have always used the small size and they have suited our needs perfectly. At $6.00 for a roll of 100, they are well worth the small investment. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Why I wanted to try an <a href="https://www.momsandbums.com/home.php?cat=294">Amber Necklace</a><br />
I had never really thought of what “style” of parenting I would use for my children. I knew I would breast feed my baby and I wanted to cloth diaper, as I am environmentally conscious and wanted to reduce the environmental impact of having a baby. It turns out those characteristics generally classify you as a “natural parent”. Once I discovered the whole world of natural parenting, I was instantly addicted. It fit so well with our lifestyle and how we wanted to raise our children. From breast feeding, to cloth diapering, to baby wearing everything clicked into place for us after my son Ayden was born.<br />
As Ayden neared the four month mark friends started warning me about the next looming stage…. Teething. They regaled stories of sleepless nights, horrible diaper rashes and inconsolable crying babies. “Have the Tylenol and Orajel ready” they said. Now I work in healthcare, so I am not against medication when needed but I also don’t believe in giving medication to babies (or anyone for that matter) if there is another<a href="https://www.momsandbums.com/home.php?cat=293"> natural way to treat the ailment</a>. So I talked to a couple of other “natural mommies” that I know and all of them highly recommended getting an Amber necklace to help with teething pain. <br />
I am really excited to see how the Amber necklace helps Ayden as he goes through the teething process. I will keep you posted. Wish us luck, and not too many sleepless nights!!!<br />
<br />
First week of using the <a href="https://www.momsandbums.com/home.php?cat=294">Amber Necklace</a><br />
There are so many choices when it comes to colours and styles of amber teething necklaces. I selected mixed amber necklace and was so impressed by how beautiful it was when it arrived. The beads were stunning and overall the necklace looked very durable. The clasp is very secure (plastic screw closure) and easy to put on a wiggly baby. When I put the necklace on Ayden I thought he might try to grab it and pull it off (try to keep a hat on this kid), but he didn’t really even notice. I was worried that it would not be comfortable underneath all of his chins (yes Ayden is a chunky monkey), but again he has had no complaints and never any red marks.<br />
Amber necklaces are not to chew on, but rather work via contact with the skin. The necklace fits tight enough that it cannot go above his chin, and lays nicely under Ayden’s clothes and bibs. It looks so cute, and we have received many compliments since he started to wear it. <br />
But of course the biggest question of all is… Does it actually work? And the answer is YES!!!! I was truly amazed at how well the amber necklace seemed to take the edge off Ayden’s teething pain. Prior to getting the necklace Ayden’s hands were his favorite teether, to the point where his thumbs were getting red and raw. After a couple of hours wearing the necklace I could see a difference in how often he was biting down on his hands and toys. If I forgot to put the necklace on him in the morning, I could tell by 10:00 as he was chewing on everything in sight, and overall not a happy baby. Within an hour of putting it back on him he was calm and able to play with his toys without each and everyone going into his mouth. I think the best testament to the amber necklace is that we have not had to break open the Tylenol (or any other medication), had no inconsolable crying or any sleepless nights while Ayden got his first 2 teeth.<br />

Katie won our 3G Pocket tester contest. Here is her first impressions on the 3G:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyMzlX7VSI/AAAAAAAAAUk/BB2KgdYHbH0/s1600/3gBabykicks-5.JPG"><img style="float: left;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyMzlX7VSI/AAAAAAAAAUk/BB2KgdYHbH0/s200/3gBabykicks-5.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565478057356776738" border="0" /></a><br />I was like a kid on Christmas morning waiting for my fluffy mail to arrive after I heard I was selected as a tester for the 3G Pocket diaper by Babykicks.<br />I started to cloth diaper my son as soon as we brought him home from the hospital. At first it was only during the day, as I tested the cloth diapering waters, but I soon grew more confident in my abilities and my diapers and switched to cloth full time and have been hooked ever since!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJi3n942I/AAAAAAAAATs/w87QEiMImAY/s1600/3gBabykicks-1.JPG"><img style="float: right;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJi3n942I/AAAAAAAAATs/w87QEiMImAY/s200/3gBabykicks-1.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565474471663231842" border="0" /></a><br />The majority of our stash is made up of one size pockets, so when I had the opportunity to try 3G Pocket diaper I jumped at the chance.<br />When my 3G Pocket diaper arrived my first thoughts were:<ul><li>I LOVE the colour – the Meadow (green) is beautiful and vibrant</li><li>This diaper is so soft – the inner layer of Bamboo/Fleece is amazingly soft and will feel so nice against my baby’s bottom</li><li>That is it?!? It is SO thin – The hemp/cotton insert is the thinnest insert I have seen in a pocket diaper so far.<br />This insert is also contoured so it will be less bulky</li><li>Hmmmm I have never had a diaper with fleece air gussets before, they look neat and will be very soft around the baby’s legs, but will they leak?</li></ul>After a quick wash I was eager to try my new diaper on my son.<br />The 3G Pocket Diaper has the most sizing options out of any pocket diaper I have seen.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJjIftzFI/AAAAAAAAAT0/1DeUeVTL33k/s1600/3gBabykicks-2.JPG"><img style="float: left;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJjIftzFI/AAAAAAAAAT0/1DeUeVTL33k/s200/3gBabykicks-2.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565474476192025682" border="0" /></a>With 4 snap down sizes (3 snaps and unsnapped) PLUS a newborn snap closure gives you ultimate adjustability. This diaper really is a newborn to potty training one size diaper. I wish we had this diaper when we were brought my son home from the hospital, at just over 6 lbs he did not fit into other one size diapers right away, but I believe he would have fit into the 3G pocket diaper.<br />After a first use here is what I LOVED about the 3G diaper:<br /><ul><li>The inner lining was still so soft after washing</li><li>Finding the right fit was easy as there were so many snap options to choose from</li><li>This diaper is SUPER trim – no bulky bottom with this cloth diaper and no need to size up pants!!!</li><li>No leaks, I don’t know how they do it with the air gussets, but we had no problems at all</li><li>The hemp/cotton insert is very absorbent – I felt like it drew more moisture into it and away from baby’s bottom, leaving the lining feeling dry<br /></li></ul>Here is my son, at almost 18lbs, in the 3g Pocket diaper.<br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJjju15GI/AAAAAAAAAT8/QJBehrFW2lk/s1600/3gBabykicks-3.JPG"><img style="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJjju15GI/AAAAAAAAAT8/QJBehrFW2lk/s200/3gBabykicks-3.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565474483503228002" border="0" /></a><br />A great fit around the legs and waist.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJj1XzUWI/AAAAAAAAAUE/cg3j_76Ii8Y/s1600/3gBabykicks-4.JPG"><img style="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyJj1XzUWI/AAAAAAAAAUE/cg3j_76Ii8Y/s200/3gBabykicks-4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565474488238428514" border="0" /></a><br />A close up of the leg gussets – so soft and no leaks!<br />And underneath clothes – no puffy bottom!<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyKBzGW5EI/AAAAAAAAAUU/-ODEuelXHEo/s1600/3gBabykicks-7.JPG"><img style="float: left;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TTyKBzGW5EI/AAAAAAAAAUU/-ODEuelXHEo/s200/3gBabykicks-7.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565475003024467010" border="0" /></a>I liked that this was a front stuffing diaper that way it is very easy to see if any insert is sticking out (especially for daddy), however this is the one downfall to the diaper as well. Given that it is so trim it is a bit harder to stuff then other pocket diapers. I am excited to test this diaper to see how it performs overnight.<br />Overall I was very impressed 3G Pocket by Babykicks on our first use, it is a great one size diaper and we will be adding more to our collection very soon.Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-76207460950476946882011-01-17T21:12:00.001-05:002011-01-17T21:14:45.201-05:00New 3G Tester!<p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal"><img alt="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TRFj4ABMxqI/AAAAAAAAATg/0OmtcTdPI6Y/s1600/3g-redbum-80x80.jpg" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TRFj4ABMxqI/AAAAAAAAATg/0OmtcTdPI6Y/s1600/3g-redbum-80x80.jpg" /></p><p class="MsoNormal">Last month we put a call out looking for a special tester for the new <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16597&cat=257&bestseller=Y">3G pockets by BabyKicks</a>. We got some great responses from you! In the end we chose Katie and her 6 month old son Ayden. Over the course of the next few months Katie will be sharing her experiences with all of us. Here is Katie's entry submission.<br /></p><p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">Why I want to test a <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16597&cat=257&bestseller=Y">3g Pocket Diaper</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">I am a mommy to the cutest chunky monkey who is rapidly outgrowing the small size cloth diapers I have. Ayden is 6 months old and 17lbs. I started cloth diapering my son in August. I have used a small selection of pockets (BG, Fuzzi Bunz, and Monkey Doodlez) during this time. We are now cloth diapering full time with hopes of continuing until potty training. We are looking to expand our stash and replace the diapers that he is about to outgrow. I have experience with pockets, however the <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16597&cat=257&bestseller=Y">3g pocket diapers</a> offer some advantages I would love to try. The front stuffing pocket and side snaps look like awesome features to help with the ease of cloth diapering a baby that is always on the move! Sizing up for pants has been an issue for us in the past, and it would be great to find a solution to that. As an added benefit I LOVE talking fluff and spreading the word about my favorite store (<a href="http://momsandbums.com/">Moms and Bums</a> of course) and diapers, plus I think fluffy bum pictures are adorable so there will be lots of photo documentation if I am picked :o)<br /><br /><br /><span style=""></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TRFjuuCXnnI/AAAAAAAAAS4/zJ7klSnklWQ/s1600/3g-Colors-large.jpg"><img style="float: left;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TRFjuuCXnnI/AAAAAAAAAS4/zJ7klSnklWQ/s200/3g-Colors-large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553329469807631986" border="0" /></a><img src="file:///C:/Users/Tanya/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-10.png" alt="" /></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Overall I would be a great choice, as I have enough experience to be able to compare this diaper to other pockets but not so much that I have tried everything out there.

Now nearly 11 months old and 17lbs we've moved into the mass expanse of one size diapers! So, you will be seeing some more Gabriel's Picks over the next little while as we review some great ones that we have tried and tested and some we even loved so much we've added them to our stock!<br /><br />This posts feature is the BabyKicks 3g Pocket Diaper. The 3g is a one size pocket diaper that is incredibly thin and trim.<span style=""> It has a microfleece barrier designed to prevent wicking to the outside and some nic</span><span style="">e fleece leg gussets to stop any messes while still allowing for airflow and a front stuffing pocket.</span><br /><span style=""><br /></span>We've been using and testing out the 3g for 2 months now and are pleased to say it is among our favorites for overnight solutions. It is very trim and easily allows us to use regular sized clothing on Gabe (not having to size up on pants to accommodate a bulky diaper). The side snaps make it impossible for him to get his diaper off, however, he is such a squirmer now that we find we have to be really quick to get it on before he is rolling over and on the move again.<br /><br /><span style="">H</span>ere is a run down of some of the great features:<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TRFjuuCXnnI/AAAAAAAAAS4/zJ7klSnklWQ/s1600/3g-Colors-large.jpg"><img style="float: left;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TRFjuuCXnnI/AAAAAAAAAS4/zJ7klSnklWQ/s200/3g-Colors-large.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553329469807631986" border="0" /></a><p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-weight: bold;">One Size Design</span> grows with baby from 7lbs/3.2kg to 40lbs/18kg.<span style=""> </span>The intuitive snap-down sizing system makes adjusting and finding the right size and fit super easy.

Perfect for car trips and trips out to the store, when you want that layer of waterproof protection. Bummis Trainers are less bulky than some of the other brands we have tried, making them fit easily under Aubrey's clothes. Aubrey loved the prints, especially her new "Froggy Undies". Mommy loved that she could easily pull them up and down on her own as she works to independence in the bathroom.<br />The Low Down on Bummis:<br />- legs and waist are covered in stretchy lycra bindings<br />- laminated waterproof polyester knit outer<br />- flannel lining against your toddler allows them to feel wet and helps them train faster<br />- 2 layers of absorbent terry to absorb accidents<br /><br />We found Bummis were perfect for daytime, nap time, and excursions out and about. Aubrey is a deep sleeper, so we found she saturated the Bummis before she woke up to make it to the potty, and had initially counted them out for night-time use. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TNIP35YoFII/AAAAAAAAAQQ/yoQp1cPdX-s/s1600/trainingpant_jungle_bmprd_lf.png"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 166px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TNIP35YoFII/AAAAAAAAAQQ/yoQp1cPdX-s/s200/trainingpant_jungle_bmprd_lf.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535504344963093634" border="0" /></a> Then at 2am one night they were the only ones left in her drawer... so I did what any sleep deprived Mommy would have done at 2am, I quickly grabbed a Bummis Prefold from Gabe's pile folded it in 3 and tucked it in, then helped Aubrey pull them up. My middle of the night quick fix solution worked so well (dry sheets and PJ's in the morning) that it has become a part of our routine! The Bummis Trainers fit so much better than the overnight solution we had been using that they became the permanent solution- and we found a great way to continue to use the now too small Preemie Bummis Prefolds!<br /><br />Want to win some Bummis products of your own to test out?

In post #1 we gave you 4 great reasons for using cloth wipes instead of disposables, we even included a link that goes through manufacturing processes and ingredients in those disposable wipes. In post #2 we went through some of the different brands of wipe solutions available from our shops. Today we are going to share with you some info onmaking your own wipes solution. We've collected a few recipes for cloth wipe solutions from our friends for you to try out as well! But first lets take a look at what ingredients go into those solutions.<br /></p> <h2>Common Cloth Wipe Solution Recipe Ingredients:</h2> <p>Most cloth wipe solution recipes contain similar main ingredients, which are used for the same reason in each recipe. These are the common ingredients and why they're included:</p> <ul><li>Oil: Helps the wipe glide across baby's skin and keeps skin soft<br /></li><li>Soap: Cleanses by removing all traces of urine and feces</li><li>EO: (Essential Oil) Added for antibacterial and/or aromatherapy purposes. </li><li>Water: The main ingredient in each recipe, cleanses the diaper area and dilutes the other ingredients</li></ul> <p>The type and amounts of oil, soap, EO and water that goes into a recipe is what gives each cloth wipe solution its own distinct "personality". Have fun trying different recipes until you find the ones that you like best! </p> <h2>How to Use Cloth Wipe Solutions</h2><p>When mixing solutions works best to start with water, then oil and finally soap. By starting with water you'll avoid making tons of bubbles, and the oil will coat your measuring tools so the soap slips right off.<br /><br />There are many different ways to store and apply cloth wipe solutions, try a few of the following ideas to find the one that works best for your family. You may discover that one system works great at home and another works great away from home. Most of the time it's easiest to gently mix the cloth wipe solution in a bottle with a cover, then pour it into the storage container. Here's some ideas to get you started:</p> <ul><li>Use a spray bottle to spritz baby's bottom or the cloth wipes.<br /></li><li>Use a bottle with a pull-up spout (like your old pericare bottle- a great re-use solution) to dribble solution onto the cloth wipes.</li><li>Warm solution and place in an insulated container to provide warm wipes for baby.</li><li>Place cloth wipes into your old disposable wipes container, an old margarine container or any plastic or waterproof tub you might have around the house- pour wipes solution over wipes so you are ready for any changes during the day.<br /></li></ul> <p>Don't store solutions or wet wipes for longer than a week as they do not contain preservatives.<br /></p> <h2>Cloth Wipe Solution Recipes</h2> Anti-Fungal <p>Omit vinegar if baby has a raw rash.<br />1 teaspoon white vinegar<br />1 tablespoon calendula oil<br />A few drops lavender oil<br />A few drops tea tree oil<br />1/4 cup 100% aloe vera gel<br />1/2 cup water<br /></p>Lanolin & Glycerine <p>Lanolin and glycerine moisturize without oil. Lansinoh can be found in many local stores.<br />1 tablespoon liquid glycerine<br />1/4 teaspoon liquid lanolin (100% pure)<br />1-3 drops EO<br />4 cups water<br /></p>Soapless <p>This recipe relies on the EO to cleanse, instead of using soap.<br />1-2 drops tea tree oil<br />1-2 drops lavender oil<br />1 cup water<br /><i>Use caution with this recipe as we've been told some children may develop a rash since the essential oils aren't dissolved in a carrier oil</i> </p>Aloe Vera Recipe <ul><li>1/4 Cup Aloe Vera Gel</li><li>2 Drops Tea Tree Oil </li><li>2 Cups Hot Water <p>Stir or shake until this recipe is well mixed. Don't use until the mixture cools. Spritz on wipe before using if in spray bottle. Swish solution around over wipes if using a wipes box.</p></li></ul> <h4 style="font-weight: normal;">Vitamin E and Essential Oils Recipe</h4> <ul><li>2 Drops Tea Tree Oil</li><li>2 Drops Lavender Oil (Please be sure to use only pure essential oils - <strong>don't</strong> use synthetic oils.)</li><li>2 Drops Chamomile Oil</li><li>2 Cups Water</li><li>1 Vitamin E Cap <p>Cut open vitamin E caplet and squeeze into the water, and add essential oil drops.<br /></p></li></ul>All of these recipes should be mixed well and then added to your spray bottle, your old pericare bottle or your wipes box. Spritz on, or wet wipe before use if you are using the spray or pericare bottle. You will pour the solution over your wipes if using a wipes box. These solutions do not have preservatives added. Discard any of the solutions left after a week and monitor them for changes in smell throughout use. If your solution begins to develop a musty smell discard right away. Solutions left too long can develop mold and mildew.Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-73447277845852054022010-07-25T12:01:00.004-04:002010-07-25T12:01:00.463-04:00Cloth Diaper Wipes and Wipe Solutions- The Perfect Combination<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TES_4uTDZ3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/LrZlSrw23vU/s1600/BUG+WIPES.jpg"><img style="float: left;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TES_4uTDZ3I/AAAAAAAAAKA/LrZlSrw23vU/s200/BUG+WIPES.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495728426520373106" border="0" /></a>This is our second post in our cloth wipes series. The first post detailed 4 reasons why you should make the switch to cloth diaper wipes and ditch the disposables.<br /><br />There are two types of cloth wipe solutions: liquid and cube form.<br /><br />Liquid solutions come in either concentrated or diluted forms and can be used in foaming or spray bottles. Diluted forms can be purchased ready to use. No muss, no fuss.<br />When purchasing liquid solutions you run the risk of the product leaking during shipping (if you are purchasing online), and they are also heavier to ship. Also without the addition of <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TES-rcpTMWI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/ZAvVAloloqM/s1600/baby-bum-drops.jpg"><img style="float: right;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TES-rcpTMWI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/ZAvVAloloqM/s200/baby-bum-drops.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495727098931917154" border="0" /></a>preservatives (which we don't want added!) these liquid solutions do not have a very long shelf life. Some great brands you can check out for liquid solutions: <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bumGenius</span> Bottom Cleaner, Northern Essence Natural Wipe Concentrate, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"></span><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"></span>Happy Heiny's.<br /><br />At the Moms and Bums family of shops we carry 2 varieties of cube brands for our customers.

We mix our batches in a Mason Jar and make a litre at a time. Once you have mixed your solution it is good for a week. We pile our wipes high in an old disposable wipes container and pour the solution over the top of them, so they are ready to use when it is "bum change" time. For outings we like to take dry wipes and put the solution in an old <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">pericare</span> bottle (most hospitals give you one free when you deliver), you can wet wipes as needed and having that extra solution is great for cleaning up sticky messes too!<br /><span id="lblBullets" class="ProductDetailsBullets"><br /></span>There are advantages and disadvantages to each form of wipe solution, however once they are prepared, both are in liquid form and they will work in the same manner.

Cloth diaper wipes are made from natural hemp, cotton and bamboo, and only have the ingredients you add to them. Disposable wipes contain chemical ingredients such as preservatives, surfactants, artificial fragrance and parabens. And those cloth like fibres are actually melted plastic pellets! To learn more about the chemicals that go into them and how disposable wipes are made check out <a href="http://www.enotes.com/how-products-encyclopedia/baby-wipes">e-notes.</a></p><p>A note about home made wipes solutions and recipes:</p><p>You need to use caution when home made wipes solutions call for commercial products (like baby wash or shampoo). Shampoo and Baby Wash manufacturers are not required to list every ingredient contained in their product(s). Unfortunately, many commercial products do leave out the fact that their shampoo or baby wash contains phthalates (as surfactants). Which have the potential to cause reproductive problems/cancers and can be quite toxic. It is highly recommended that you check the ingredients list on any product you intend to use on your littles ones delicate skin and research those ingredients.</p>Stay tuned for our entry on wipe solutions you can buy!Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-55843931571359410702010-07-15T08:55:00.000-04:002010-07-15T09:00:16.586-04:00Aubrey's Undies #1- Happy Heiny's Pocket Trainers...Training Undies That Is!<br />At Moms and Bums we make a point of trying to test out each product we carry on our three little Guinea Pigs. Aubrey was our original diaper tester, and has now moved on to the position of trainer tester! Aubrey is a very head strong 2 year old, and has taken longer to learn to use a potty than her older sister <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kiera</span> did. Why you might be asking was it so difficult for her to learn? Well the real issue was that she really likes her cloth diapers! She would tell you which one she was going to wear, and she had flower ones, and cow ones and and pink prints... her diapers were fun! In her eyes they were much nicer than the plain under wear <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Kiera</span> had- even if <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Kiera's</span> did have Dora on them. So we knew it was time to find her some fancy undies!<br />We had ordered in trainers for customers before, but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">didn't</span> really keep them in stock because we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">hadn't</span> had anyone we could test them on until now.<br />We started off with some <a href="http://babysbottomline.com/HHTRAINERS.html">Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Heiny's</span> Pocket Trainers </a>with snaps.<br />First a bit of info about Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Heiny's</span> and what makes them different than other trainers on the market:<br />First they were redesigned with your busy toddler in mind! Snaps can be added for ease in messy clean ups and to make stuffing easier. Snaps can be added to one side, both sides or the side can be sewn shut for older bed wetters.<br />Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Heiny's</span> have an elastic waistband making them easy for your little one to pull up and down on their own. This is also good for older children with bed wetting issues. Quick on and off. Like their diapers, the inner lining is custom milled fleece for a more stay dry feeling and the outer layer is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">PUL</span> to hold in wetness. The pocket opening allows you to add as much stuffing as you need, so even the heaviest wetter still has protection overnight.<br /><a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=23">Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Heinys</span> Trainers</a> have been child tested and last 12+ hours overnight with absolutely no <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">wicking</span> for most children. <a href="http://babysbottomline.com/Happy_Heinys_and_Stacinator_76_cat.html">Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Heinys</span>® Trainers</a> are available in a variety of solid colors. They have a 100% poly laminated outer layer and work wonderfully for potty learners who still need protection overnight.<br />I will add a word of caution here- do not buy any trainers that are the same pattern as those they have for diapers- Aubrey's favorite diaper was her Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Heiny's</span> cow print, her "Cow <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">Diper</span>" (she has since learned how to pronounce diaper), so silly me thought she would also love having undies the same print... boy was I wrong! She took one look at what I thought was going to be her favorite new undies and exclaimed "that's a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">diper</span>!", and wouldn't even try them on.<br />My second word of caution: don't buy patterns the same as their siblings diapers! I absolutely love monkey prints, so of course picked a silly monkey print OS for Gabriel and a silly monkey print trainer for Aubrey, only for her to exclaim "That's Gabriel's <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">diper</span>", and again wouldn't even try it on.<br />So, Aubrey and I took a little walk into our store room and I pulled out all the prints in her size and let her pick the one she wanted. She chose the Pink Hibiscus print. There are some theories on potty learning/training that suggest you even let the child pick out their own seat. We have not taken things that far, but allowing her to choose her own "undies" assured that she would want to wear them. In fact she was quite disappointed when she had to wait for her new undies to be washed first.<br />Once her new undies had been washed and she was able to wear them, we gave her quite simple instructions "don't pee pee in your new undies". Aubrey was just starting the learning process at this point, she knew when she was wet and wanted a "bum change", but <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">hadn't</span> needed to know before she went until now. About half an hour later, Aubrey shouted out "Oh no, my undies, mommy pee peed, bum change". Aubrey quickly learned that her Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">Heiny's</span> were waterproof and were just like her "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">dipers</span>", thus we have since reserved them for car trips, overnight and nap time.<br />We found the fit of the Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Heiny's</span> to be a bit <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">puffy</span>, which was perfect for adding that extra hemp insert for overnight! Aubrey really didn't notice or care about the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">puffiness</span>, and her clothes fit over them just as well as her regular cloth diapers. We loved the side snaps in the beginning when there were still poop accidents as it made clean up much easier. Aubrey was able to pull up her new "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">dipers</span>" herself which made her feel like a big girl- just like her big sister.<br />Our recommendations for Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">Heiny's</span> Trainers: Overnight protection for older <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">bed wetters</span>, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">nap time</span> protection and all day protection for the toddlers who are just beginning the learning process and will still require a waterproof layer. For a heavy wetter overnight we recommend a layer of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">microterry</span> followed by a layer of hemp.<br />All our Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">Heiny's</span> Trainers are sold with a Happy <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28">Heiny's</span> Large <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29">MicroTerry</span> insert, so there is no need to purchase anything extra, just wash and start that potty learning process!<br />Stay tuned for our next edition of Aubrey's Undies...

Born at 34 weeks and 5lbs 3oz, Gabriel needed some special small diapers. Gabriel's Picks goes through some of our favorite preemie and newborn diapers on the market today. In the first edition we discussed <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16443&cat=0&page=1">Bummis Preemie Prefolds</a> and <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16440&cat=0&page=1">Super Brite Covers</a>. In the second edition we discussed the new <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16553&cat=0&page=1">Tini Fit</a> and <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16552&cat=0&page=1">Easy Fit</a> from Tots Bots. This edition will discuss FuzziBunz® Extra Small and One Size Pocket Cloth Diapers.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=39">FuzziBunz®</a> are pocket diapers made by Mother of Eden. If you are not familiar with pocket diapers, here is a quick rundown for you.<br /><br />All <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/home.php?cat=257">pocket diapers</a> have the same basic construction: an inside wicking layer (for the "stay-dry" feeling), an absorbent insert and an outside waterproof layer. These layers can be made up of different materials, but in the case of <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=39">FuzziBunz®</a> they are microfleece, microfibre and PUL (polyurethane laminate- they have taken fabric and laminated it so it is waterproof). These are also the most common materials for pocket diapers.<br /><br />We love to use pocket diapers when we are out and about for a few reasons, but here are the main two:<br />1. They are less bulky in the diaper bag, so for a quick trip to the store it means I can throw a couple diapers (one for Gabriel and one for Aubrey) in a small bag and be set. For those of you who are new moms, we once left the house without a diaper bag for a quick trip to the store with our oldest. About 10 minutes into our shopping Kiera decided to have a huge poop, needless to say we have never left the house without a bag again!<br />2. They go on quicker than prefolds and in one step. If you have ever tried to diaper a squirming baby on one of those fold out changing tables, you know you want something quick and easy!<br /><br />With an average sizing of 4-12lbs we found the <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16426&cat=0&page=1">XS FuzziBunz®</a> were a great pocket during those first few months when not much else fit our little man. Gabriel was just over 5lbs when we started using our <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=39">FuzziBunz®</a>. Even tough the <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16453&cat=0&page=1">One Size</a> is rated for newborns and not preemies, with the button hole elastics to adjust the sizing, we found it worked just as well as the XS for us. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TA0bz97rlYI/AAAAAAAAAHc/cpNUtkP2bg8/s1600/OneSize_SizingChartSM.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 292px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TA0bz97rlYI/AAAAAAAAAHc/cpNUtkP2bg8/s400/OneSize_SizingChartSM.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480066901191923074" border="0" /></a>The One Size comes with 2 inserts, one for smaller and one for larger settings. For preemie sizing we used a smaller insert, as the small one that comes with it was just too bulky!<br />The <a href="http://www.momsandbums.com/product.php?productid=16426&cat=0&page=1">XS FuzziBunz®</a> differ slightly from the other perfect sized FuzziBunz® in that they do not have the extra row of leg snaps. With a 6'6" dad Gabriel is tall for his age, and at 10lbs 9oz the rise just wasn't long enough anymore, and plumber bum just doesn't mix with breastmilk poops!<br /><br />We have had to adjust the sizing on the One Size a few times and have sized up on the insert to the small that comes with it, but at 12lbs 13oz and 4 months old it is still going strong! Definitely worth every penny! Check out the video below made by FuzziBunz demonstrating the use of their One Size. When you adjust your One Size for the first time be sure to adjust one button at a time! I blame it on sleep deprivation, but this Mama unbuttoned both ends and accidentally pulled the elastic right out! I can say this- replacing the elastics will be a very simple job!<br /><a href="http://babysbottomline.com/Clearance_and_Discontinued_38_cat.html">Visit us for great deals on discontinued colors.</a><br /><br /><object height="360" width="580"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/I1vCsDvcK0k&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&hd=1&border=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/I1vCsDvcK0k&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6&hd=1&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="360" width="580"></embed></object>Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-78097643107284943062010-06-07T14:03:00.002-04:002010-06-10T21:17:18.594-04:00Gabriel's Picks #2- The Tini/Easy Fit<div class="date-posts"><div class="post-outer"><div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template"><div class="post-header"> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content"> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TAHF1BKoBhI/AAAAAAAAAGE/85sfH_aKEcY/s1600/bummis-totsbots_couple_5199_bmprd_lf.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 157px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TAHF1BKoBhI/AAAAAAAAAGE/85sfH_aKEcY/s200/bummis-totsbots_couple_5199_bmprd_lf.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476876136495973906" border="0" /></a>Made in Scotland by Tots Bots the Tini Fit hit the market in North America only a few months ago... just in time for our little tester to enjoy the soft bamboo rayon against his tiny tush.

Even after 2 months of use they are lint free and still look like the first day we used them.<br />We found the Tini Fit to be true to its sizing (5-12lbs) and although we might have been able to get away with it a little while longer Gabriel at 12 lbs 8 oz and 4 months old (10 weeks corrected) was beginning to have a bit of plumber butt (even as a prem he is at 75% on the chart for his height). So we have moved up to the Tini Fits big brother- The Easy Fit. Matt gives the Tini/Easy Fit the Daddy's Choice approval for ease of use and laundering. It is always the first one he grabs!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TAHH6etuMPI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Ix_gj5gKLOM/s1600/bummis-easy-fit-group_bmprd_lf.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 96px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GhOcB9yjNYI/TAHH6etuMPI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Ix_gj5gKLOM/s200/bummis-easy-fit-group_bmprd_lf.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476878429350408434" border="0" /></a></div></div></div></div>Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-54659057518532520962010-06-06T13:52:00.000-04:002010-06-06T13:52:58.064-04:00New Blog: Cloth Diaper Retailer Cooperative!

After you’ve become a Fan you need to upload a photo of your little wearing a Knickernappies Diaper. <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">One entry per person please.</span> In the comments for your photo please add the URL to the store where you purchased the diaper. Make sure to include a clickable link to the store, not just the name.</p> <p>Eligible photos must be uploaded to the Fan Photos between April 15 through May 15. If you already have a Fan Photo uploaded that you’d like to use as your entry then you need to upload it again so that it will have the proper date and also a link to the retailer.</p> <p>If your photo does not include a link to a <a href="http://www.knickernappies.com/knickernappies_retailers.html">Knickernappies Retailer</a> in the comments it will be deleted and you will have to resubmit, so make sure you dont forget to name Moms and Bums as your retailer.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">How do you get votes?</span></span> Every time someone “LIKES” your photo it is a vote.

Comments are encouraged as well but do not count as votes.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">How do I promote my photo?</span></span> We’ve provided a handy “Vote for Me” button on the left hand column of the Blog. You simply grab the code and replace the code/url that says http://www.knickernappies.bogspot.com with the url to your Fan Photo. You can then place the button on your Blog or Website, on Message Boards, Your FaceBook page, etc. and encourage friends and family to vote for your photo by “LIKING” it.</p> <p>Another GREAT and EASY way to promote your photo is to “SHARE” it via FaceBook. When you are on your photo in our FB Fan Photos you will see a link to “SHARE” it with your friends and family via your FaceBook Page. When you share it you need to make sure to let your friends and family know that they need to click through the link to the Knickernappies FB Page to “LIKE” it. Liking it on your page when you share it is not the same as liking it on the KN FB Page.</p> <p><span style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What are the prizes?</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Grand Prize-</span>(1 Winner) 6 Knickernappies <a href="http://www.knickernappies.com/knickernappies_2G_cloth_diapers.html">2G Sized Pocket Diapers</a> with your choice of inserts (Just Hemp, Microfiber, Loopy-Do’s), color, and size!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Runner Up’s- </span>(5 Winners) 1 Knickernappies <a href="http://www.knickernappies.com/knickernappies_2G_cloth_diapers.html">2G Sized Pocket Diapers</a> with your choice of inserts (Just Hemp, Microfiber, Loopy-Do’s), color, and size!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 130%;"></span></p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">*This contest is open to participants worldwide!</span>Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-83369155370887947262010-04-21T14:49:00.009-04:002010-04-21T15:18:04.703-04:00Gabriel's Picks- #1 Premmie Prefolds and Super Brite Covers by Bummis<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=T&id=16443"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 276px; height: 126px;" src="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=T&id=16443" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" >We are always asked which cloth diapers we use and what we prefer, so we decided it was time to share:) Over the next few weeks we are going to highlight some great cloth diapers that we found worked the best for Gabriel. First you may need a bit of background. Gabriel was born January 24th at 5lbs 3oz and 34 weeks gestation. He is our 3rd child, our second to use cloth diapers (the nurses in the NICU were not open to cloth, so he was 2 weeks old before we started, and had just passed his birth weight).We used a variety of diapers on him, some fitting much better than others. My favorite was Bummis preemie prefolds with a preemie/newborn super brite cover. He has since outgrown the Preemie/newborn cover (at just over 10lbs and nearly 3 months old) so we have moved up to small Bummis Super Brites and xs Thirsties covers. The prefolds are however still fitting great, and seem to get softer with each wash! We will have to update when they become too small for him.</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=T&id=16440"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 125px; height: 136px;" src="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=T&id=16440" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" >A note on Thirsties xs covers and AIO's- Although the design for Thirsties and Bummis are quite similar, (with Bummis being made right here in Canada) we found that the leg holes with Thirsties were much larger than the Bummis ones- allowing for our preemie with the common preemie "chicken legs" to pee right out of them. Gabriel was about 8lbs before he was able to wear them without leaks.<br />We definitely would recommend Bummis Newborn Super Brite Covers and Premmie Prefolds for small newborns and preemies.<br />Why did we chose the Super Brite over the Super Whisper? The leg gussets of course! If you havent had a newborn, then you may not know about the liquid poops that come along with them. You see until a baby begins solid foods poops are generally liquid, and sometimes seedy liquid- gross right! Without those legs gussets you run the risk of that liquid poop leaking right out the sides of the diaper... ask a mom who used disposables how many outfits they ruined with blowouts. Here at Moms and Bums we are all about the leg gussets!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=P&id=16440"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 210px; height: 174px;" src="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=P&id=16440" alt="" border="0" /></a>Check out the great video below made by Bummis on how to use their prefolds and stay tuned for the next edition of Gabriels Picks coming soon...<br /><br /></span><object style="background-image: url("http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/CyN2CveB6Rw/hqdefault.jpg");" height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CyN2CveB6Rw&hl=en_US&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CyN2CveB6Rw&hl=en_US&fs=1" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Moms and Bumshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15353433524302584729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81247731864810168.post-34573067539675444102010-04-21T12:53:00.004-04:002010-04-21T13:01:26.334-04:00Earth Week Deals April 21st<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=P&id=16488"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 332px;" src="http://www.momsandbums.com/image.php?type=P&id=16488" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:180%;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:180%;" >Buy a Sugar Peas Windpro Fleece Cover and get a Sugar Peas Pea in a Pod Snap in Diaper for free!</span><br /><br /><div style="font-family: georgia;"> <b><b>Sugar Peas Single Layer Windpro Fleece Covers</b></b></div> <p style="font-family: georgia;"> <b>S</b><b>ugar Peas Windpro Fleece Diaper Covers are made of 1 layer of heavyweight Malden Mills Windpro Fleece for lots of protection yet a TRIM fit!

Unfortunately some of the files were not able to be transfered to the upgraded cart and we are slowly manually adding them. Amoung these was the "Users" files, so if you have tried to log on in the past couple of days you will have noticed that you were no longer a member. We are working to correct this and are re-adding all of the memberships by hand- with 350+ members it is taking us a while! As your membership fiole is redone you should receive an email with a new password- you will need to change this password on your first login.</p> <p> We are also slowly working at repairing some broken links, and redoing logos, banners and info pages. Should you find any broken links or missing pages during your shopping please let us know.</p> <p> Earth Week is quickly approaching! As a special bonus for earth week we will be featuring a new product each day that will be drastically reduced in price. You will need to tune into our facebook group and <a href="http://momsandbums.blogspot.com/">blog </a>for the inside scoop! </p> <p> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,0,0" id="widget" name="widget" align="middle" height="240" width="120"> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.earthday.ca/widgets/earthday_countdown.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff"> <embed allowfullscreen="false" allowscriptaccess="sameDomain" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="widget" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://www.earthday.ca/widgets/earthday_countdown.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="240" width="120"></embed> </object></p> <p> We will also be doing a few giveaways over the next few weeks leading up to the upcoming Mom to Mom sale on May 15th.
