Which Diapers to use?

Before I gave birth to my daughter, I decided I would strictly use Pampers Diapers. On my baby registry that is what I put for gift suggestions, also I told my family that is what type of diapers I was planning on using. Now 3 kids later and with 5 month old twins, I honestly don't care what type or brand we are using. But a good brand I feel does everything a diaper needs to do it LUVS. It's a savings on my wallet yet doing it's job with keeping everyone clean and dry.

Meeting Ina May Gaskins

This past spring I had the honor of meeting the great Ina May Gaskin, who is the founder and director of The Farm Midwifery Center in Summertown Tennessee. Which is one of the first out of the hospital Birth Centers in the United States. Ina May has attended over 1200 births and is the author of many great books. Three that I own and read personally.

Look for these great reads:

Bathing Twins

Bathing more then one baby is never going to be easy. With twins or more this event can be just that an "event". This is still one of my least favorite tasks with my twins.  It's a lot of work and prep for something that only last 15 minutes. However here are some tips I learned the past 4 months:

-Have extra help from your spouse or older child, this might seem small but having extra arms is always a great thing.

-If using a bath mat chair, put a clean wash cloth over it when bathing baby number 2, this helps the second baby stay dry if the chair is wet.

-Have all your bath supplies ready, and in arms reach.
