Sometimes he will call us both Mommy or Mama, but when he wants one of us in particular, he knows. We have been calling eachother that since he was born. We also figure that he will decide what's best, too. And, of course, we both respond to both names!L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14514938700614163948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164905711843022852006-11-30T11:55:00.000-05:002006-11-30T11:55:00.000-05:00I honestly don't remember what I used.

I know I had some cloth diapers that someone made for me and I probably used receiving blankets a lot, I always like swaddling the girls up really tight in those!<BR/><BR/>Don't sweat the name thing, the baby will know who he's talking to. Even in our house one of the kids yells Mom, I'll answer and they'll say, no, not you, Cheryl. Whatever, we figure it out!Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729142248190674175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164898691599998662006-11-30T09:58:00.000-05:002006-11-30T09:58:00.000-05:00We just used prefolds.

WAY better than any burp cloth you could find. greenmountaindiapers.com is where I order most of my diapers, and her prefolds are great. <BR/>And your kid will decide what to call you, don't waste energy trying to pick one. They always make up their own mind on that matter. I absolutely did NOT want to be called mommy. I never called myself mommy, AJ never called me mommy. No one ever referred to me as mommy. <BR/>Guess what Charlie calls me?Estellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12133147419963948340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164835555518730522006-11-29T16:25:00.000-05:002006-11-29T16:25:00.000-05:00Thanks everyone for your suggestions.

I already have receiving blankets on the list as well.<BR/><BR/>Lynanne - Right now we are thinking that I (Wendy) will be Mommy and Karen will be Momma. But of course that's subject to change. We might end up being Mommy Wen and Mommy K. As long as the baby doesn't call us "Hey You", I'll be pleased!Wendy and Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06884668150706524717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164829459669147332006-11-29T14:44:00.000-05:002006-11-29T14:44:00.000-05:00Our kid had massive reflux the first year of his l...Our kid had massive reflux the first year of his life, and we lived off of burp cloths. We used the plain white cloth diapers. They come in like a huge pack at Babies' R US. They are thick and very absorbant. You can bleach them clean as well. I would reccommend them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164816965525956072006-11-29T11:16:00.000-05:002006-11-29T11:16:00.000-05:00One other possibility... you might get a non-spitt...One other possibility... you might get a non-spitter. We did. I would say she spit up 5 times between birth and her first birthday. We had lots of cloth diapers ready just in case, but didn't need them for the spitting up. We used them for everything, though, so you can't go wrong with em!<BR/><BR/>BreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164816570334300472006-11-29T11:09:00.000-05:002006-11-29T11:09:00.000-05:00I bet Heather wouldn't mind trading you some of ou...I bet Heather wouldn't mind trading you some of our "mommy" cloths for your daddy cloths in the two packs. :-)Jeff Eberlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851481166444589171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164814983363423862006-11-29T10:43:00.000-05:002006-11-29T10:43:00.000-05:00Yeah cloth diapers and receiving blankets work rea...Yeah cloth diapers and receiving blankets work really well and are cheap too.

Es...I second the suggestion for the cloth diapers. Especially if you have a baby who spits up a lot (my son was a gusher…eww). They can be used for so many purposes. They are great for unexpected changing table mishaps - girls can squirt as well as boys! You can shove one in your shirt if you have a let-down in a public place (if you are breastfeeding). You can mop up spills when baby grabs your water glass in a restaurant. They can double as a public changing table cover or carseat blanket in a pinch. The list goes on. Definitely a diaper bag essential.<BR/><BR/>This might seem like a silly question (and you don’t have to answer it), but will your child call you both mommy? My best friend’s daughter calls one parent “Mommy” and the other one “Mama” so when she cries for one they know who she is asking for. The reason I thought of this is I know they couldn’t find “I love Mama” bibs. Not like it matters that early. It was just something I never would have thought of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31651336.post-1164812510284312292006-11-29T10:01:00.000-05:002006-11-29T10:01:00.000-05:00As another person stated, cloth diapers work reall...As another person stated, cloth diapers work really well.
