We use a trashcan with a stepon lid and a PlanetWise liner. Works great, no smell!

My almost-18 month old is having a weird sleep regression the last week or so and my DH just asked me this morning "isn't there *something* you can do?" (Although I don't know why he cares - he...

I use Flips for my daytime diapers, but I rarely use the inserts and just use prefolds inside them instead. I felt that the insert didn't absorb enough. But I'm very happy with them as covers.

My 17 month old goes to bed at 630. Sometimes it take a while for her to go to sleep, but generally, it seems to be about the right time. We wake up about 615am and she generally naps for 1.5hrs at...

She tries sometimes, but I hate the creeping feeling it gives me and so I'll pull my shirt down over that side, or distract her in some other way. I also try to relax and focus on nursing, or do...

I have seen things like these, which seem like they could be helpful in terms of offering an alternative. Or could you put one of the baby covers on it? Unfortunately, a nice soft wood is really...

Our furniture is by Creations and they are very sturdy, lifetime kind of pieces. Much higher quality than the Babies R Us stuff, but we paid out the nose for it. Kind of a waste of money, since the...

Excellent advice, Myles, for all adults in dealing with overbearing/overprotective/overstepping parents. I learned those techniques the hard way, and they really work. Not necessarily to change the...

Chrissy - When is the wedding? If you come to St. Louis, we should meet up. Let me know if you're interested.

Erin - I can't believe your job just up and fired you, although it sounds like you...

My DD had that too a couple of weeks ago. I was on the verge of taking her to the doctor when it started clearing up on it's own. It was only really bad for a few days. How long has it been going...

Suja, I wish I had not read even a little bit of your link. Tragic.

It's funny, sometimes I work from home and DD goes to daycare. But at lunchtime, I might watch Netflix while I eat or something. And every once in a while, I'll get a freakout feeling for a split...

If she needs the extra milk, give it to her. Just graaaaadually work toward spacing out bottles (you do not need to space out nursings unless you want to). You are doing an amazing job!! She does...

We started straight off with table food...whatever we were eating that was softish. So, sweet potato, baked potato, pasta, steamed veggies, beans, etc. We never did cereal or purees because she did...

I found that when DD was hurting from teething, her latch got really lazy and bad...she would slurp the nipple into her mouth, not be open wide, etc. Check your latch and make sure that you are...

It sounds like she is getting more than enough milk. You are pumping 24 oz while away from her, correct? How many hours are you apart? Chances are, she is being fed more milk than she really needs...

I never leaked at all either.

Do any of you watch Breaking Bad? That's the current series we've been working through (slowly). I like Weeds and Nurse Jackie, but my DH was not a fan. He loved Lost, but I couldn't get into it...

Myles said some lovely things while I was composing my blathering response. Wonder, amazement, serenity, harmony. That's what it's all about!

I also do not consider myself "spiritual", but do feel a need for some sort of connectedness - with the natural world, as well as with other humans. I have trouble in this area because my religious...

Nah....there are some ladies who are persistent offenders. One in particular I'm pretty sure gets a big charge out of getting people riled up and having an argument. Which helps me resist...

To all you wierdo ladies eating bugs and slugs and whatnot....well, I was a biter/licker of things (my pencils and pens were always chewed up and disgusting). But I never ate bugs. At least not on...

I was planning a homebirth and had a midwife, but saw an OB for shadow care at my husband's request. My DH was worried about what would happen in case of a transfer. In the end, my water broke and...

Instead of washing your prefolds 5-8 times, you can boil them on the stovetop for 15-20 minutes with a tiny little bit of blue Dawn dish detergent (1/4 teaspoon). Then rinse well and do one wash...
