• My sister made one of those for my wife's baby shower.
• Truly bizarre. I had no idea such things existed.
• seems incredibly wasteful, not to mention expensive. I don't think I'm understanding the "charm".
• They stay together better if you use "recycled" diapers.
• Is there a kotex kake for your first period?
• Patita, not wasteful if it's a baby shower gift. That cake will get the average infant through about a day of pooping (if you're lucky).
• Sidey, this is the best baby shower gift ever! Can you tell I'm pregnant?
• pickles for mickey!!! really truly?
• Although some people argue against using disposable diapers because they are wasteful in general: "Every year 18 billion disposable diapers end up in landfills and each diaper can take up to 500 years to decompose" McConnell, Jane. "The Joy of Cloth Diapers," Mothering (May/June 98): 44 EPA, "Positive Steps Towards Waste Reduction," June 1989 LaCroix, Susan. "Diapers," Mothering (Summer 93): 37-43 I, for one, could not live without them!
• Definitely not wasteful, being that if they are cloth you just wash and reuse. We even had a little hose hooked to the toilet for rinsing out the diapers before washing them in the washer.
• Here it is!
• Definitely! She'll be here in early July. And don't forget the ice cream. Chocolate, please.
• Congrats, Mickey! =) Would you like pickles, or pickles with strawberry ice cream? I could've used one of those cakes, made in cotton diapers. That would've been an awesome gift.
• Melinika, those soaps are fabulous!
• They have 2-tiered ones too, for those who would like to gift parents with a half day's worth of diapers. Our diaper cakes feature Pampers Swaddlers...
• Yay Mickey!
• And yay monkeybashi!
• Congrats. :) I've read, though, that the reusability is mitigated by the fact that you have to wash, dry, and sterilize the cloth diapers - right? Lots of electricity. - this book
• Congrats to our Mickey Mom! Another one bites the dust
• Cool! Lets have an online shower with pics of what we'd give you if we could be at your baby shower. Here's my gift. (do you have a wish list online somewheres?)
• Mine seems to be a bit more useful, and I'll make one for $50 plus shipping! ;) Heck, you TELL me how much you want to spend and I'll tell you what I can do. Special offer just for monkeys! :-)
• And congrats to all the soon-to-be mommies. If anyone wants to learn to make one, I'll be happy to tell them how I do it and let them realize that paying somebody to do it really is worth it. :-)
• Or you can just let the sprout loose to deck the halls and everything else. Behold the Useful Green Ass Bowl in the photo.
• years ago in china they'd just bury infants up to their waists in sand. kind of like "kiddy litter." also, kids had big holes in the crotches of their pants and would just go into sewers in the street. kid you not. ANYWAY. mickey, is this your first? such exciting news!
• and moneyjane, i swear that link deserves its own FPP... As the August sun dips towards the trees, I sit on my back patio enjoying the warm air with a new friend. We met last week at the organic food co-op and connected immediately. She accepted my invitation to visit without hesitation. As we chat, I am drawn to her lucid pregnant beauty. Her firm round belly blossoms with child. She glows with open curiosity and anticipation, as we ponder the miracle of birth and new life. While we speak, my six-month-old son lounges contentedly in my arms. Mid-sentence, I am distracted by an intuitive inkling that summons my complete attention. "Excuse me just a moment," I say to my friend. "This little guy needs to pee." BWHAAAAAAAAAAA!
• moneyjane, your link frightens me. I really, really, really wish I hadn't clicked it.
• Let's correct this for spelling, shall we? Mid-sentence, I am distracted by an intuitive tinkling that summons my complete attention. Hey, lady, is that kid is inkling right in your lap!
