Our little Camel


Zachary started calling Jonah CJ (Camel Jonah) because of his constant spitting up. The little guy just can't seem to get it all out when I burp him after nursing.Without fail, every time I nurse him, about 30 min. to an hour later, his clothes are soaked with vomit! Today, as Zach took phim out of the car, he noticed white vomit all across the seat in front of Jonah.. Luckily he projectiled so far out that his clothes didn't get wet one bit! So to solve the problem of constantly changing his clothes, "CJ" now wears a bib EVERYWHERE! I know he looks a little funny but it sure beats going through his whole wardrobe in one day!
Problem #2: I'm embarrassed to say that we spent a couple hundred dollars on these very fancy cloth diapers! When we first saw their display at my doctors office we thought they looked so neat! The lady who makes them swears by them and says that the one size still fits her 2 year olds! We used them for about a week a month ago and than I decided to switch to our disposables that I got as a baby shower gift, until they ran out. Well, they ran out a few days ago and since than its been nothing but problems with the cloth diapers! I don't know if Jonah's legs are just too chubby but the diapers already don't fit right, and every time he pees, they leak through! It's sooo frustrating! I can't believe we spent $200 on these pieces of Junk!
I'm so mad about it that I want to go back to the doctors office with the display and write something mean like "Only buy these if you want your baby's clothes to be covered in urine all day! " I finally just gave up and bought a huge box of Pampers today. I thought we were so smart by buying cloth diapers and saving so much money! I feel so ripped off! Zach says we should just turn the diapers into a cute wall decoration in Jonah's room.. a very expensive decoration.

I'm so sad those diapers aren't working out! They were very cute. I think you should at least call the lady that makes them and talk (calmly) to her about it. I mean if she swears by them, maybe you're not doing something right... who knows. That is just weird that she thinks they are the best thing ever and they aren't working. Especially since Jonah is not even 3 months old yet. That would make me SO mad.

Maybe you can resell some of the unused ones on craigslist. He looks a lot like you in the first photo

I used a diaper service and that saved us money and time over using our own cloth diapers and disposables. I did use disposables if we were going to be gone 3 or more days from home.

I had to double diaper Corby in the cloth diapers. Big boy bladder. I used the disposable inserts for that--Diaper Doublers, they were called.

Also, with cloth diapers, you DO need rubber pants or wool diaper covers.
