Diapers, Dolls and Daydreams

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on January 15, 2011

My first doll was Baby Alive. Back in the early 1970s, she had messy blonde hair and a little pink mouth that you could dribble cereal into. Best of all, she would pee and poop. I remember the first time I fed her. So does my brother, because it was in his room. All over the bright blue shag carpet. What a mess. I had him keep guard at the door so I could secretly scrub up the cereal goop because we weren't supposed to be getting milk out of the refrigerator unsupervised. I didn't even … [Read more...]

Real Moms Cloth Diaper Testimonials

Posted by Bryana on July 28, 2010

In our day to day activity of spreading the word about cloth diapers we need to remember the joy we encounter when we stop and listen to the testimonials, the stories of how moms, dads, caregivers, etc…came to use cloth diapers. Remember what it's about. Cloth diapering isn't just about getting one more baby in cloth. Cloth diapering isn't just about the environment, and it isn't just about the landfills. It also isn't just about the unnecessary usage of trees and depleting rain … [Read more...]

Prefolds are not that scary!

Posted by Becca on April 15, 2010

When I was pregnant, my husband and I discussed cloth diapering as a money saving option. At the time we thought the only cloth diapers available were the prefold diapers and rubber pants found at the VERY BOTTOM shelf of the baby section in the local Wal-mart and Target; because we were desperate to save money, we were willing to consider it. When my daughter was born, and I started using the bumGenius! One Size Pocket Diapers, the idea of diapering with prefolds went out the window as I … [Read more...]

Word of Mouth

Posted by Becca on April 5, 2010

I'm in the line at the grocery store. My adorable daughter is comfortably covered in her cloth diapers and snuggled safe and happy against me in the Moby Wrap while I carefully stocking the conveyor belt with all my groceries. I hear the sweet whimper of an infant that is not my own and turn to see proud new parents with a baby gently hidden behind protective layers of blankets in his car seat. I can't help but glance inside their cart and see two gigantic - no, I mean HUGE, boxes of … [Read more...]

The Snappi – A Pre-fold’s Best Friend

Posted by Cloth Diaper Blog Guest on March 25, 2010

Before the birth of my first child, I started looking into cloth diapers. I expected to find cotton prefold diapers, funny-looking plastic pants, and diaper pins. What I discovered in my research was a pleasant surprise! When I registered for Fuzzi Bunz pocket diapers, I didn’t quite get the stash of 24 that I needed to cloth diaper my baby full time. So my husband and I decided to "go economical" – cotton prefolds and diaper covers; I was so excited to learn that I no longer needed … [Read more...]

A Cloth Diapering Dictionary

Posted by Becca on March 20, 2010

If you are new to cloth diapering and happen upon one of the many websites that sell cloth diapers, then all the titles, monikers, and nicknames can be quite confusing - I should know! I came into cloth diapering pretty much on my own; there were no brick and mortar diaper stores near me so I had no one to talk to about, and no opportunities to see, these wonderful cloth diapers in person. A friend gave me three pocket diapers to start my stash and so pockets were all I "knew". Since it … [Read more...]

Posted by Bryana on January 14, 2010

Whether you are expecting your first baby or preparing for your fourth, this might be the first time you've considered cloth diapering. If so, you most probably have a few questions about cloth diapers in general, and perhaps some more specific questions like: Just how do cloth diapers work? Maybe your concern is economical and you need to know how much do cloth baby diapers typically cost? More often than not, the dad asks how long does it take to clean cloth diapers?. And finally, if we … [Read more...]
