A quick summary. Costco diapers & formula. BF is good & I liked it until my breast pump broke and I didn't want to buy a new one.

So many mothers are...good for you. As for diapers, when I have my own babies I'm going to give cloth a shot. Not just the green factor but the cash factor. I'll let you know how long it lasts...about one nasty poo I'll bet!lizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226899101610456310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819554942634451158.post-58900201119007981632008-07-14T08:00:00.000-07:002008-07-14T08:00:00.000-07:00I'm going to answer before reading the other comme...I'm going to answer before reading the other comments, then maybe I'll actually finish before Noah requires my attention.<BR/><BR/>Cravings - I don't really notice mine. My husband isn't that accommodating either. If I say I want something that we don't have, he encourages me to get over it. :p<BR/><BR/>Diapers - Definitely Huggies. Pampers were to square and yucky. Huggies worked best for us, so we've just stuck with them.<BR/><BR/>Formula - I breastfed. We supplemented with formula every once in a while, but we just used whatever we had gotten free samples of and never had any trouble. Sorry I can't be of more help.<BR/><BR/>Nursing - I'm a big believer in nursing. I read a book called, "So That's What They're For". It's a fun read about nursing. I don't subscribe to all the theories in it, but it helped prepare me a lot. I should probably re-read it before this baby is born.<BR/><BR/>Not that exciting, but there's my two cents. :)Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488124193168549708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819554942634451158.post-17800720042248700232008-07-13T16:02:00.000-07:002008-07-13T16:02:00.000-07:001.

The scrambled eggs came AFTER my second trimester when I was no longer sick. During that first tri it was still french fries, and Cheerios almost exclusively.<BR/><BR/>Ella- Shrimp, salmon and oranges. <BR/><BR/>Rohan- Horseradish and hot chinese mustard. I wanted it EVERYDAY.<BR/><BR/>2. Diapers<BR/>We were all about the generics. Albertsons generics were my favorites, but only because they were usually on sale and I could get them pretty cheap even for generics. I think all generic diapers are made by the same manufacturer and stuck with a different package on the outside. <BR/><BR/>I am so with you on the Pampers thing. I hate that baby powder smell on those suckers. Huggies I hate because they get those little gel things all over my kiddos bummies which I couldn't ever wipe off and that drove me bonkers. <BR/> <BR/>3. Formula<BR/>I have zero input on this because I never used it even once. <BR/><BR/>4. You know me... I'll nurse anytime, anyplace and in front of anyone. Except at church for some reason. There I feel inclined to go to the mother's lounge. Maybe it's because they have one there and so I feel like I should use it? I'm not really sure, but that's the only place I won't nurse in "public". <BR/><BR/>And you also know me... nursed until they were: Mac 14.5 months, Ella 15.5 months, and Rohan 12.5 months. I love nursing and feel blessed to have had a very easy time with it on all three babies. I wasn't ready to stop with Rohan quite that early, but we were going to Maui for 10 days when he was 14 months and I left all three kids with their grandma. I wanted him good and weaned when we left, which he was! <BR/><BR/>I pumped a little with all the kids. Mac wouldn't take a bottle, Ella did occasionally and I, honestly, can't remember if Rohan ever drank from one. I think not, but am not sure. <BR/><BR/>I hope things go well for you and Adi with nursing this time. Even if it's only til you start work, I hope you have a great experience because it's such a beautiful thing! <BR/><BR/>Love you!ClancyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013193697535163509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819554942634451158.post-77913701083165488912008-07-13T14:58:00.000-07:002008-07-13T14:58:00.000-07:00Okay with Elly I craved and devoured Chevy's chips...Okay with Elly I craved and devoured Chevy's chips and salsa! True story...Elly loves it too. We used to eat there quite a bit and El LOOOOVED the salsa. LOL! Jon couldn't believed it...he jokes I ate so much of it that it's in her blood stream and DNA. <BR/><BR/>Diapers we used whatever. I preferred Huggies but they were a lil expensive. I usually bought generic and night time the better brand.<BR/><BR/>Formula...I tried and tried to bf but El had a high pallet so we had to put her on formula. I still have guilt about it. We used Good Start.<BR/><BR/>BF-When I have another I will try harder to bf. I really hope you can do it with this one and no complications happen. I hear such wonderful stories about bf and I hope you are successful!! :)Kacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17374229462886436966noreply@blogger.com
