Hi!! I love hiking and have been to Shenandoah once before. I did Old Rag, White Oak Canyon and Hawksbill Gap. Now we are visiting again with my 18mo son. Unfortunately we only have 1, maybe two days to hike as Shenandoah isn't the only reason we're going to be in VA. What should we do?? I loved Old Rag so much I'm considering doing it again via the fire road to avoid the rock scramble while baby wearing. But that would still take up most of our time. We're also interested in Skyline Drive, Stony Man, White Oak again... Help me choose! What are the most fun, rewarding without being overly strenuous hikes? We're in excellent shape it's just carrying around a 20lb baby for 5 hours on end does sound like a lot of there's other easier and beautiful hikes.

Hi!! I've been reading posts here for a while now. I see a lot of recommendations based on what's best for newborns but due to our history of very difficult delivery/postpartum, for our second my husband and I want to do disposable diapers for the first few months and start cloth diapering after the newborn stage. I currently have a 17mo boy in workhorses and Thirsties Duo covers and I love how easy they are to get on and off. I'm hesitant to reach for pre flats because I just don't think I want to fold them haha, but with prefolds they seem bulkier and less versatile in sizing. I know I could pad fold and do covers but won't younger baby poop just fall out or slide around then?!What would you recommend for someone that truly doesn't mind the laundry but wants changing to be simple and wants to get the most out of sizing? All of our stuff currently goes from 17-30lbs.

Help, I am drowning in laundry. 😭 My 16mo leaks thru three diapers (overnight, normal, swim diaper) overnight no matter what we do.

We have tried so many things, so many overnight diapers, double diapering, double diapering with his swim diaper, having him go in the potty before bed, give him his bottle at least an hour before bedtime, etc.

How do I stop the leaking??? I am hesitant to buy just any diaper cover because he always leaks at the top of the diaper by the tabs, and he has a long torso with a big toddler belly haha so I am concerned most diaper covers won't actually cover high enough where he needs it. and I don't even know where to begin with best diaper cover materials. 🤦‍♀️Any advice appreciated!!
