Welcome to the world!

Our newest Diaper Parties by Rachel member -- Lily. She is rocking a Lil Joey shortly after she was born (still in the hospital). Lily weighed 7 lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. The little Joey is plenty big and should fit her for a short while (although well longer than I expected!).

Cloth in hospitals?

Hello out there!!!!

Do any of your hospitals use cloth diapers?

The hospital we will be delivering at does not, which isn't surprising since my area isn't too friendly toward being green.

I considered carrying my cloth stash to the hospital, but have since decided against it. Between the newborn and my toddler (still in diapers full-time), I figure I will have enough diaper laundry once I get home. I didn't want to add several days of that from my newborn in the hospital.

Still, I can't miss the opportunity to let some nurses and docs SEE a few of the diapers. Here is what I have packed: 1 Lil Joey (because they are perfect for newbies!!!), two prefolds and a Flip cover, and a Bamboo Baby AIO One Size.

I know the OS diapers are still a little large for newborns (although my first was 8 lbs, 10 oz, so not THAT big! lol), but I think they will still be adorable even if a little bulky.

Did you take part of your stash to the hospital with you?
