First (and most importantly, I think) I love the word snarky and would like to commend you for using it.
Secondly, I do not have a whole lot of experience in the "babies sucking on my boobs for nutritional purposes" thing, so please tell me why you chose breastfeeding and what appeals to you about cloth diapering. I have spoken to some of my friends about it, but seeing as how you actually popped some kids out I figured you would be more of an expert on these topics. Not that I'm pregnant, mind you. When I actually do get pregnant I will be calling you at three in the morning asking if it's okay if I give into my craving for ice cream with pickles on top and what I should do now that all of the elastic in my underwear has popped. But I would like your opinion on those two things, mostly because I basically have my mind made up about them and would like another viewpoint.
well, what i've found is that the coms that have the best info ARE the snarky ones. you might check out some of my friends (the ones you've noticed commenting) and see what coms they are in.
the only baby com i'm in that is active is my birth month and it was great. you could search on the words "july 2009 babies" and see what comes up.
breastfeeding is the biggest bfing comm on lj. You'll get a lot of repeat questions and misinformation sometimes, but the mods try and do a good job of keeping everyone in line. Its a great resource.
clothdiapering is the biggest cding community on LJ and the most active. Make use of the older posts in the community. Its a wealth of info.
You're already in natural birth :) homebirth is also a great community to read even if you're not having one.
naturalliving is a great community for natural living, making your own food, making baby food etc. Again the community's older posts are full of info.
thank you! i had forgotten i posted this...most of my journal is friends only...i'm glad i made this post public!
i wish i would've found joined naturalbirth earlier...i just joined a few days ago (maybe a week) and i'm due any day. i have so many more questions but don't want to bombard the community!
