You may be well aware of this already, and thankfully the perps aren't the most
sophisticated!

Your facebook profile's been taken over by somebody claiming to be stuck in
London and wanting money for plane tickets after being robbed.

Hopefully the entirety of your online presence hasn't been compromised and you
can cut the jerkies off easily!  There's been plenty of this sort of stuff going
around, so don't feel badly!

Hope you're having a decent December!

Dear group,

This is my first time commenting through this group but have eagerly read your
posts and am very interested in natural birth, cloth diapering and recently
started to try elimination communication; potty training. It is so wonderful to
be able to connect to like minded mamas!

I am an American married to a Turk and have been living in Didim for the past
year. I gave birth at the didim hospital and had to fly back to america for a
family emergency shortly after. My daughter is three months old now. We will be
headed back to turkey to be with baba in january and if you don't mind I would
love to meet up with you all...

Thanks! Take care of yourselves and you families!

motherhood)

i love that idea and i love the idea of the meetup once or twice a year as well.
i was thinking that something like that was necessary for those exact reasons.
let me know if there are any ways that i can help.

open a conscious mothering yahoo group as a spin off to the natural birth group
so that we can continue to support and inspire each other and we have somewhere
to turn when we feel the need.

and after birth our children continue to grow with an ever changing sets of
needs, in the mean time our own life and growth still continues and we live in a
place where our ideas and values are uncommon, so we should really try to
support eachother. we thought that from the platform of the group we could then
try to meet up once or twice a year either at our camp in Kaz dag or at Karakaya
(Melania/Feride), Bodrum.

Enjoy babe :)

I have been trying to find my way with cloth diapering here in Turkey. I had my
family bring lots of diaper system tools with them when they came for the birth
- newborn fitted diapers, prefolds and covers and small prefolds, fitteds and
covers, and also some larger prefolds. I agree that the first couple of weeks
are difficult with the cloth. I tried a couple of times and gave up because I
was in so much pain from the episiotomy. but started again with help from my mom
and it went very smoothly. It takes time and commitment but isn't so difficult.
The problem I have had is that my son is growing quickly and his diaper size has
changed rapidly. When it comes to diaper covers...there is a range in fits. Some
fit skinnier babies, some fit cubbier babies. It is hard to know which will fit
best when ordering. So, you either have to guess or figure it out as you go. It
may be easier in the States or in the UK where you can easily return items,
check out items in store or order as you go and have things arrive quickly.

That has been my only issue with cloth diapering. Philisophically, health-wise,
and economically, they make sense...but knowing how to get products quickly here
in Turkey is the main challenge (for me at least). It is definitely a good
industry if someone wants to import and sell products within Turkey...there is a
growing market for sure. For now, I am planning to purchase about 5 diaper
covers that "grow" with baby and cross my fingers hoping they will fit my tall,
quickly growing infant with chubby legs. :-)
