Cloth Diapering: What do I absolutely need?

Posted by Becca on July 11, 2011

It can be staggering to think of making the paradigm shift from disposable diapers to cloth diapers when you think of all the things that are out there that you absolutely need in order to start successfully. The thing is, though, you don’t need most of those things—though many of them certainly make life as a cloth diapering parent easier. When I started shopping for cloth, looking at the list of these important things was dizzying to my head and to my budget: Travel wet bags Diaper … [Read more...]

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on February 12, 2011

Your little one is on the way, and you've decided to go cloth. Or maybe your little one is already here, and you are ready to switch from disposables to cloth. Perhaps you are undecided, and just want someone to help you sort the whole thing out. Maybe your baby's bum has been riddled with diaper rashes and you just don't know what else to do.

Why We Choose Cloth Wipes

Posted by Becca on February 1, 2011

Believe it or not, it took me a lot longer to switch to cloth wipes than it did for me to switch to cloth diapers. When we were pregnant, we had registered for a Diaper Genie and it was one of the first gifts we’d received. It got steady use for about three weeks with diapers and then we had about 11 cloth diapers, which with obsessive washing, I was able to turn into an almost full-time stash. But we kept the Diaper Genie. Why, you ask? Because we were still using disposable … [Read more...]

A Diaper Pail Tale

Posted by Becca on January 27, 2011

When I started cloth diapering, I didn’t have enough money to buy all my diapers at once. I had to save the money and add to my stash quite gradually. Because my focus at the time was simply getting enough diapers to last my daughter between washes, I didn’t even think about cloth diapering accessories for a long time. As you can guess, my dirty diaper storage was interesting, at best. We started with three bumGenius! One Size Pocket Diapers that were a gift from a friend which I … [Read more...]

Here’s to Mom

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on January 18, 2011

Let's all raise our diaper pins in salute to all the mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers out there who used cloth diapers when choices were few and labor was intensive. You have to admit, it's a lot easier today for moms to be eco-minded and keep our landfills from piling up even faster with disposable diapers. Back in the 1950s, mothers couldn't even buy their diapers in the grocery store, let alone online! A special trip to the department store was required. Diapers came in one … [Read more...]

Cloth Diapering Must-Haves

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on May 13, 2010

There are a couple of cloth diapering accessories I have found to be indispensible to my cloth diapering routine. I think they are items any cloth diapering mommy or daddy absolutely must have. The Diaper Sprayer As an expectant mother I set up a cloth diaper gift registry. When I was researching cloth diapers I came across the diaper sprayer at Diaper Junction. I thought it was so cool you mean I don't have to dunk the diapers like my mom did??? That's right – diaper dunking is … [Read more...]

Sunshine and Diapers

Posted by Bryana on February 11, 2010

There is nothing like a month (or four) of unusually frequent rain to make you appreciate the sun. Not only do I, as a beach girl, naturally crave the sun, or as mom of three, desire to send the older kids outside to play, but as a mom who cloth diapers, I need it. I need it to work its magic on those inevitable stains! I need it to freshen- up the fabric. I need it to provide its super drying powers to save energy and make my dipes more absorbent! Didn't know about those wonderful rays? … [Read more...]
