Two weeks ago, I set our toddler Mary Kate on the potty and she burst into tears. Not a very promising start. Her big sister had no problem using the "big potty" with the toddler seat insert, but Mary Kate is just too fearful right now. We'll have to start her off with a stand-alone potty, which I was hoping to avoid because it adds another transition to the process. We also happen to have a really tiny bathroom. Ah well... But there's something I'm really pleased about. The first trainers Continue Reading
*New* Buttons Bamboo Prefold Diapers Review & Giveaway
Buttons Diapers was always an AI2 system, with reusable shells and snap-in pads. But since the shells also make great little diaper covers, it makes complete sense that Buttons would add prefold diapers to its product line-up.

Buttons Diapers Wet Bag Review & Giveaway
Buttons Diapers has recently added wet bags in three different sizes to their online store. Smalls are $7.00, mediums are $10.50 and larges are $17.00. I received a large wet bag in the pebble (gray) polka dot print to review. It's made to hold about 6 diapers at a time, which I found to be a very good estimate. Buttons wet bags are designed in the USA and made in China: Before washing, the large bag measured approximately 14x14. After laundering and drying it shrunk to about 13x13. Continue Reading
