3 little questions

1. When you can't fit the current ones on your baby. Or they out pee them too quickly.

I have a wipe solution in a spray bottle and wet wipes as needed.

Ugh....I want warm wipes in the warmer that smell good! Sounds like I could maybe just keep a container. Of water in the warmer and spray with the mixed solution. My son adores his warm wipes...and so do I and so does my husband...they're so luxurious. I can get my son to urinate almost every time I change him so its been helping with the absorbancy issue I'm having with one or two diapers a day... sounds like I am close to upsizing....I have the next size waiting in the closet.

So since he has outgrown the first. Size in under 3 months... how long does the next size last? Do I need a third size to span size 2 and potty training? Should I try flats for that and integrate my supply? Ugh so many questions....and the weirdest one of all.... why do I love diapers so much? I look forward to every change!

You know, the size ones from diaper rite....ugh I know I done speak the lingo yet with all the acronyms... they vary in size between bleached and unbleached. The unbleached prefolds are about an inch and a half smaller than my bleached so I find I grab those first and the unbleached are.basically barely fitting. I'll upsize this week but still use.the bleached in transition. I have the osocozy unbleached prefolds as well in both sizes and they are so narrow and awkwardly long that they never fit him even as a newborn. I really dread using them in the next size up. I am going to hem the smaller size so they are shorter in case I have a smaller baby...but I basically just use them as burp cloths

When cool-weather camping with itty bitties we put warm water and wipes in a thermos for nighttime changes. It works well!

When do I graduate to the next size prefold diaper...any rules of thumb?  When the dipes leak often or every time or when they just don't fit well anymore. 2. How do you know when your diapers are worn out? Could my diapers be there already? You should not even be close as they can last for years and years if well cared for. 3. Why do my wipes smell in my warmer if I use the nice diaper wipe solution and witch hazel and distilled water? I find that wipes will be smelly if I leave them for more than a day or 2, esp in a warmer.  You might add some Tea tree oil as an antimicrobial or consider using a spray bottle instead of making up the solution and letting the wipes sit for days. I think that's it for now... thanks guys
