C- Section Terror

I just found out that my baby is breech, and i'm having a c-section next tuesday. I'm scared b/c don't know what to expect. My mind was on natural birth. I don't know if I will be needing lots of help with baby (thinking that im not going to be able to stand up) and how to take care of me. Thanks

Baby's Poo Burned Her Bottom :(

My 15month old daughter had a poo that burned her bottom so badly there are even 2 small spots where the skin is a little broken from blistering.

They have been so harsh and...

Advice About Cloth AIO or Pocket Diapers

I'm switching from disposables to gdiapers and cloth and can't decide about which cloth AIO diapers to use. I'm considering Happy Heinys, bumGenius, BerryPlush, etc. Anyone have experience or advice? BTW...I know that disposables (which are still in rotation while I' trying things out) sitting in landfills cannot possibly be a better alternative to what I'm doing. gdiapers biodegrade in less that 2 months vs. at LEAST 200 years for disposables.
