diaper champ

They both will make the room stink!!! You need to take the diapers out daily or put the genie in the garage or outside somewhere if you cant take out the diaper everytime the baby goes. I gave this advice to my sister in law and she didnt listen to me. Instead, she left the genie in the baby`s room. Now what happend was that both her husband her her got so immune (used) to the smell that they did not think it stank. But ask anybody who went to her house that it smelled worse than a gas station restroom.

As a first time mom I HAD to have the diaper genie II. Well After I (I mean the baby) filled it I DREADED unloading the thing....oh so stinky. Smelling poo once is enough. I don`t want to smell it again and again. I like many other women reuse the grocery bags. I pitch them out the back door and at the end of the day I put them in the trash. I usually leave one bag open for pee diapers and at the end of the day tie it up and toss it.

Ziplock bags!!!

I never found the need for a gadget at all, and I did have a sensitive nose. Breastfed babies` poo is not very offensive, but if you use a drop of formula LOOK OUT! You might need to store those dirty diapers in another zip code.

I have used Diaper Genie twice. Both times they worked GREAT AT FIRST. Eventually the diaper genie itself will smell just like poo and you can NOT get the smell out. You have to throw the thing away. I found that putting them in plastic shopping bags and discarding in the regular trash works just as well.

I have not tried the genie 2 but have and am using the original genie. It works good for a few days and when it is close to full it can begin to smell but really as soon as it is emptied it is fine. If you have second hand stores near you the originals can often be picked up there for cheap... I do not like using the grocery bags as that becomes too much plastic in the garbage... you can use alot less with a genie...

We did the whole putting them in plastic bags for about three months...and then the poo gets tooo potent. Wr got the diaper genie and it works good. It is airtight, so you dont have to worry about the smell in the room. Or you could always put it in the bathroom, or by your other trash can if you are worried about that. Having some place designated for dirty diapers is nice...we tried both

I`ve been a nanny for years and I personally don`t like the thought of having stinky diapers in the same room. I really like just reusing plastic grocery bags and taking them out daily or as soon as there is a poopy diaper. That is what I am going to do at least.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
