Cloth Diaper Blog. The All In One Cloth Diaper Resource.
The all in one cloth diaper resource.
The first of a four part blog post series on troubleshooting with leaky diapers. Part 1: The Fit I’ve been using cloth diapers for over a year now and I’ve had my share of leaks. At first, when a diaper leaks, I want to blame the diaper, but I’ve discovered that the diaper is not always to blame. During this time, I have discovered four main reasons for leaking that have nothing to do with the quality of the diaper you are using: fit, absorbency, clothing, and buildup. Today, … [Read more...]
Nighttime Diapering Options Using cloth diapers at night seems to be one of those scary things that even parents who are very dedicated to cloth diapers are afraid to figure out. Personally, I was afraid to use cloth diapers at first with my daughter for two reasons; I didn’t want her little butt higher than her head when she slept and I didn’t want her to wake up because she felt wet.

I thought that building my stash would be the end of my research and that I would then become a master at cloth diapering. After a week of using the diapers my daughter developed a rash. She has never had a problem with diaper rash when using the disposables. So, back to the internet I went, researching ways to get rid of the rash. I put her back in disposables while I fought the rash (it went away in one day of her being back in disposables and showed back up when I went back to the … [Read more...]
(in this article we'll be referring to white distilled vinegar specifically) You've probably heard of vinegar and it's many uses. People clean with it, put it in their laundry, use it for various natural remedies and even cook with it. But is it safe for use with cloth diapers? And why exactly do so many people use it? One of the main reasons people use vinegar is because it is inexpensive and an alternative to many chemical based cleaners. Let's go over some of the benefits of … [Read more...]
