xxxJoelPolexxx (Lucy Eades) Part 5

You don't have to fully vaccinate you can do partial or not at all. You just pick up a signed religious waiver at the health department, it's really easy. My son had partial vaccines but not all.

I bet you anything Lucy wants a boy, so she can have that perfect 2:2 ratio. She's like that! My gut says it's a boy anyways.

[All4Fun]

She's in a funk this pregnancy because of her chemical miscarriage, her bed rest that she put herself on due to her laziness, and she's happy and excited to have her breasts filled with milk again...o.O... it's official she's obsessed with pregnancy and breastfeeding..

God I hope she gains 90lbs and "cain't" bounce back... LMAO

Anyone else find her pregnant stomach odd shaped? I always found her bumps oddly shaped..

Never knew that, learned something new today!!! lol

[ladybug]

I find her bumps VERY odd shaped. Especially w/ Kacen. It looked like a pointed ball, very weird.

I'm hoping she goes to 41 weeks and gets some stretch marks. Lol!!!

I cloth diaper my 3 month old daughter full time, since day 1, and I guarantee it is a much more environmentally friendly option than disposables. It's really not THAT much more water and power you are using as compared to the environmental devastation that disposables create.

We even have a well as we live in the country and, between 2 daily showers (me and SO), cloth diaper laundry every other day, and filling up 50-100 gallons worth of water down at the barn for my horses every day, we have never experienced water issues and our power bill has not jumped up at all since we had the baby.

Cloth diapering is really simple, I recommend it if you own a washer and dryer. Plus it's better for baby's bum and their health in the long run

That's great, I'm glad it works out for you. I'm not going to be drawn into a diaper war, I'm more of a believer in parenting your own children the way you see fit and to hell with what everyone else believes and does.

I will just say that for most Australians, it's not really a viable option. We live in a country that is mostly desert and water is not something to muck around with. I have watched a lot of cloth diaper laundry routines and I must say, if you can wash like that and not think of all that water going down the drain, then you either have a lot more of it at your disposal or you're taking it for granted. I only put on the washing machine when the load is absolutely full. From what I understand, diapers are washed on a full load setting multiple times.

We have 4 15000 litre water tanks on our little suburban property, water restrictions have been relaxed this summer to the point where we are actually allowed to water our garden but we're still careful about not being wasteful.

Yes, I own a dryer but I only ever use it if its raining and even then I'll hang the clothes on a clothes horse all day inside first. I have never dried straight from the machine, which is what I've seen in all of those videos. The thought of the electricity bill stuns me. Either our power is a lot more expensive or you're all multi millionaires. You can't tell me that you don't use much more power than me when you're running your dryer for, say, an hour every day and I'm using it twice a year....

And whoever asked me about the water and power that the manufacturers of disposables use? Ha ha, I think ours are mostly made in America.

I'm with you on this one thegooseiscooked, I'm Australian too, and geez it irritates me to see people wasting fresh water like it's an infinite resource. I believe Candidmommy (I know this isn't her thread but relevant to this conversation) said she has loads of laundry running every night?! How wasteful. I guess, coming from Australia, we just have a better appreciation of water as a limited resource.

Disposable nappies are no worse than any other plastic, chemical, non-biodegradable product you use. They all end up in landfills, they all take a hell of a long time to decompose, they're all shit for the environment. Nappies are no better, but they're certainly no worse.

[ladybug]

So I take it that cloth diapering isn't a popular/trendy thing like it is here right now? Lol!! I read somewhere that it ends up being the about the same cost-wise to cloth diaper or use disposables. Unless you get the super cheap cloth ones that don't work....

[FLOSSY77]

I don't care how anyone diapers there baby.Unless you are like Lucy and Lie about it
But all this talk of waste and landfills...I mean is everything you use for a lifetime reusable?A child is in diapers 2 years.

[TaylorKnows]

I know, eventually those clothies will end up in the trash.

[FLOSSY77]

Lets get back on topic and leave the Aussie's alone

THIS. Right on Flossy.

[fossilfinger]

There is a huge market for used cloth diapers. You can sell them over and over.

It will be a cold day in hell when I put something on my child that another has taken a shit in.

I'm not sure exactly why Lucy thinks that Kasie is the exact opposite of her. Lucy has had a hospital birth, had an epidural, formula fed Jacelyn, uses disposables....not all that different at all.

Home birthing doesn't make you a hero, it is simply a choice. Give birth in hospital, give birth at home...whatever, so long as baby arrives safely. Each birth is different and needing some relief doesn't make you a wimp or any less of a mother.

I don't give a flying f$&@ how you feed you baby as long as baby is being fed.

Cloth diapering mamas might consider themselves to be crunchy but I'm interested to know how much water and power they are using to wash. Especially given that I come from a country where drought is a common problem and to do multiple loads of washing and drying is just not considered to be environmentally friendly.

Lucy is only friends with Kasie because she feels superior. Kasie is fat and does things that Lucy has turned her nose up at so Lucy feels great compared to her!

Yup spot on with this. And I do all the crunchy shit (CD, home birth, co-sleep etc). In fact as someone who does all that stuff, it's easy to see right through Lucy when she pretends to be passionate about it. Passionate about $$ and feeling superior is more like it.

Exactly,she loves to be a know it all.But there is no love in her parenting and the only thing that comes NATURAL to her is being a liar.

Yeah i've seen some of the "Cloth Diaper Routine" videos on YT and holy shit they do like 3 full cycles + a soak cycle to wash them and then put them in the dryer, it's excessive. I'm also in a country with water restrictions, granted not as bad as Australia. But everyone here just washes them once on a regular wash, then onto the washing line to dry, every so often they go into a full hot wash with no powder.

=/ I cloth diaper and our ones (NZ Made) say cold water wash then line dry, I never use our dryer except for my husband uniform. I use natural powder but only cause my son reacted to the normal stuff, he has crazy sensitive skin down there. I only do a cloth diaper wash once a day, and a regular clothes wash once a week, all cold water. Every two weeks I do sheets, and my husband does his uniform hot water. Thats the only time we do, mainly cause we pay for our water and waste water in my town (only town in NZ too) and I grew up on tank water so I'm naturally really conservative with water anyway. I can't imagine doing three full cycles just to get my diapers clean

Agree. The only reason i brought up the mag article is cause i actually saw logic in it. but to be completly honest i have no idea i used disposables. So i really dont have any experience on the subject or anything to compare to.
I have a dryer as well. and i only ever use it for sheets and towels.... in the winter. otherwise my stuff goes on the clothes horse inside or out on the line. I have seen a lot of the youtube moms just put all their clothes in the dryer and thats how they dry them, must cost a lot on power. But hey if you have the means and whatnot to cloth diaper then why not. more power to you it is better for the ENVIRONMENT.
