The all in one cloth diaper resource.
The first time I heard about wool as an option for a water-resistant diaper cover, I just didn’t believe it. How on earth could something made of wool hold water? So I smiled and nodded, but never really considered the option of buying a wool cover to go over my daughter’s prefolds and fitted diapers. As time passed and I just kept hearing about the wonderful properties of wool, my curiosity was understandably piqued. All natural, breathable, a great cure for diaper rash, … [Read more...]
In my first post, I mentioned that I am planning to cloth diaper my babies. I admit it. I have fallen for the cute designs and soft fabrics that make up the world of modern cloth diapering. But my first turn to the idea came in dollars and sense... Upon the news of expecting twins, I tried to wrap my mind around the sheer number of dirty diapers that two cute little babies would make. The figures boggled my mind, and worse still, threatened my checkbook! I did some math based on the cheapest … [Read more...]
I think I have discovered the best combination of convenience and economy that I have seen yet in my cloth diapering journey. I recently had the opportunity to try the Flip One Size Diaper System. I'd heard lots of positive reviews, but honestly, it didn't seem much different to me than tri-folding a prefold cloth diaper and sticking it in a cloth diaper cover at first. However, since giving it a try, I have come to value the ease and economy that the Flip has to offer. As my little one has … [Read more...]
So as a first time mother to the most magnificent 7 month old darling girl to walk Mother Nature’s beautiful earth, I made the executive decision (then informed my husband) that we would be using cloth diapers. His first reaction was “cloth WHAT?”, then he quickly reminded me of the time he “did the laundry” and turned my $145 white silk negligee blue… WOOPS! Needless to say, he was a bit skeptical at first, however he is now as big of an advocate as any other cloth diapering addict … [Read more...]
As I have been walking down this journey of parenthood, I have been given the opportunity to experience some very powerful emotions. I think that the most surprising one is that of addiction. I mean, they're just diapers.....right?! I know that this is a common feeling, though, as I am meeting and talking to other cloth diapering parents. I think that it is an interesting anomaly. The trepidation that I felt as we were making the decision to cloth diaper was really intense. I was in awe … [Read more...]
If you’re a regular reader here at the Cloth Diaper Blog then you may have read a post I wrote a couple of months back about how our beautiful little girl opened one of her pocket diapers with hook and loop closures during naptime and proceeded to finger paint her crib with poop. Since then, my husband and I have been VERY CAREFUL about hook and loop diapers around our daughter’s little, exploring fingers. But that doesn’t mean that we’re as careful as we mean to be. It just takes … [Read more...]
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...]
