Liners

Since my little has recently begun solids, it was time to rethink my poop game plan. While breastmilk poo is water soluble, once you add solids to the mix, you need to rid the poo from the diapers before washing them. 

I am not ashamed to admit that I am a little lazy when it comes to diapering. And, I'd rather not splash poop in my eyes with a diaper sprayer. So, I took a little trip to Joann Fabric and scored a yard of awesome tie dye microfleece. 


Pretty, isn't it? Not that it really matters since it is essentially a poop catcher. :)

I used a large microfiber insert as my guide and cut the pre-washed microfleece into liners. I used chalk to outline. 


The yard of microfleece ended up providing me 30 reusable liners. 


I simply washed the liners before use and began lining the little's diapers with them at every change. They are super soft and work perfectly to protect the diapers from gunked on, stinky solids poo. The poo tends to roll right off the liner and straight into the toilet. As an added bonus, they can be used as a protective barrier for non-cloth diaper friendly creams. Oh, and they help baby feel dry longer!

$8 well spent!

Binky mail!

This is the fluff mail that forced me to download the USPS app so I could easily track its squishiness until it arrived at my front door. It departed Orlando, FL with no further updates for three long days! Three days!!! 


Sigh. It's so pretty. 

Some info about this diaper... It is a hybrid fitted made by a highly sought after WAHM at Binky D diapers, Ashley Pavlic. I first heard of Binky D Diapers through a co-op. I joined the BST (buy, sell, trade) page and dove right in. The mommas that participate on that page are rather awesome. Some buying. Some selling. Some trading. Some chatting. All speak very highly of Ashley and rave about the product she offers. 

Scoring a Binky D is no easy task. The hyenacart shop is stocked Every Sunday at 5pm. Mommas recruit help by lending out there login information to increase their odds of scoring a diaper. They sell out in seconds. Then, there is always a chance of an oversell. A hyena cart glitch that allows more than one shopper to check out with a diaper. Oversells are rare but they do happen. Other times, the traffic caused by stocking causes hyenacart to totally crash. It's pretty intense. 

In addition to Sunday stockings, Ashley opens the occasional group. Groups are pretty random. Ashley may or may not give a heads up as to when the shop will be stocked so you have to keep on top of it. That is how I scored this pretty. Luckily, two mommas were nice enough to help me get it. I am not near fast enough to score. 

All OS Binky D diapers come with FDR (fold down rise). 



FDR makes it much easier to get a snug fit on an itty bitty. It also provides a much cleaner look than SDR (snap down rise), in my opinion. 

Let's look inside... 




Each Binky has two snap in snake style soakers. 




If you are not using the FDR and need more absorbency towards the front, you can snap a soaker into the FDR for added protection. 


Getting your Binky on the bum is easy peasy. Put baby on Binky. Adjust soakers.


Pull diaper up over the soakers. For smaller babies, fold the excess. 

Snap the hip snaps with a snug fit on the thighs. 



Then, just snap her on up! 


Lastly, try to contain your baby's excitement. 


Little miss has been rocking her Binky D for about two hours with no signs of wetting through. That's pretty good for us because this kid is a rather exquisite pisser.
