Try cloth diapers

Leaking is one of the biggest problems people have with the idea of cloth diapering, if not the biggest. And truth be told, I have had problems with my cloth diapers leaking, but all that ever really needed done was a little research and we were good to go. No diaper is “leak-proof” whether you…

Many people consider wetbags a must-have when it comes to cloth diapering, but is that really what they are? I personally feel that wetbags are a convenience item rather than a must have, you could always store your dirty cloth diapers in a plastic bag or a basket instead of a wetbag. While you don’t…

There are two parts to this question, you see a fabric (to me anyway) is made up of 2 things, the weave (Birdseye, Muslin, Twill) and the fiber (Cotton, Bamboo, Hemp, Microfiber). You also have to take into consideration anything special that might be done to a fabric once it is woven like with fleece,…

One of the reasons I loved the idea of cloth diapering so much was because I wouldn’t have to keep track of what size disposable diapers my baby needed. Now with 3 kids in diapers, and all a different size, I can’t tell you how much easier it is to just buy some adjustable cloth…

Everyone wants their baby to comfortable, so it makes sense that some people would be really uncomfortable with the idea that their baby felt wet all the time. There are some cloth diapers that do feel wet after baby pees in them, prefolds, flats and most fitteds, just by themselves, because they are natural fibers…

Like all other things, cloth diapers don’t last forever, a cloth diaper with only 1 insert can’t be expected to last for 12 hours without leaking. You also can’t expect a cloth diaper that you use every day to last 5, 10, 15 years without wearing out or needing replaced. A cloth diaper usually needs…

People tend to really freak out about cleaning cloth diapers and how to tell if your cloth diapers are actually getting clean, but it really isn’t all that difficult. Once you have washed and dried your cloth diapers check to see if they smell, if they smell like poop, fish, ammonia or just yucky, then…

Having more than 1 baby in diapers can get expensive and stressful, but there are ways to lessen that stress and I believe cloth diapering is one of those ways. The average cost to diaper 1 baby for 2.5 years is about $2,500, so when you have 3 children very close together that cost can…

Trying to find cloth diapers that fit your baby, are absorbent enough and aren’t ugly (most important factor) is a pretty scary task, but it doesn’t have to be. If you want cloth diapers that are cheap, try flats and covers, if you don’t want to have to fold a lot, try all-in-ones, if you…

So, you did all the research and all the money math that tells you cloth diapering will save you money and stress of where you’re gonna get diapers if the store doesn’t have them today. But now you need to figure out how many of the darn things you actually need. You are going to…
