Happy Nappy Diaper Service, Review After 7 Months

It’s been 7 months since we started using Happy Nappy Cloth Diaper Service and I thought it would be a good time to write another review.  I did an initial review of the pre-birth starter package, and another review two months in.  But I’ve had some people ask me more recently if we’re still happy with their service.  In summary, we are.  [Update: As of Feb 2013, in the Vancouver Lower Mainland, this diaper service company is now called Happy Baby Cheeks. There is no more Happy Nappy in Vancouver. Most of the below still applies but there have been some changes. Read their review here.]

Our Cloth Diaper Service (Happy Nappy review after 2 months)

It’s been almost two months since Alena was born so I thought I’d write a little review of how the cloth diapering service from Happy Nappy is working out for us (initial introduction of the service can be found here).

Most of the below still applies but there have also been some changes. You can read the Happy Baby Cheeks review. We’ve also written a review for Toronto-based BabyDue Cloth Diaper Service, which we used during our 3 week visit to Toronto.] Read More

Baby Analytics – How much does a newborn eat, pee, poop, and sleep?

I am slightly obsessed with numbers and statistics. For me, it’s fun to keep track of things. So Olive and I have been keeping track of the things that Allie does, like pooping, peeing, eating, and sleeping. It’s been very helpful in learning about our baby and her needs. It’s also allowed us to develop a schedule for the day that meets Alena’s needs, Olive’s needs, and my needs for food, sleep, and personal time.

Our choice to go with Happy Nappy cloth diaper service in Vancouver

For a good number of months after we found out we were expecting, Tim and I debated back and forth about what kind of diapers to use.  Should we go with regular disposables, eco-friendly disposables, wash-it-yourself cloth or cloth diapering service?  (Or, should we go the traditional Chinese way and dress our baby in split pants?…)  There seemed to be pros and cons for each option and we wanted to weigh them out.
