Comment on Washing Cloth Diapers by Mateus

I started cloth dipaers with my daughter when she was about a year old. If you want to go cheap use plain prefolds. You simply fold them in half twice, and place them inside a velcro wrap. For wraps, my favourite with the prefolds is the Bummi Super Whisper Wrap.My all-time favourite diaper is from a Canadian company called Mother-Ease. They have a one-size-fits-all diaper, that supposedly fits babies from 10 35lbs. My daughter has been wearing them since she was about 18lbs, and is now 22lbs and they are awesome. They are the best in terms of leakage. When used with the snap-in liner, her clothes are never wet in the morning like she is with almost every other diaper, including disposables. They also have great wraps. For a newborn, I would suggest going with one of their packages to save money, if money is an issue. Keep in mind that cloth dipaers are a big initial cost, but will save you tons in the long run, especially if you wash them yourself. Here is my recomendation:-20 mother-ease one-size dipaers (you probably won’t need liners yet as they don’t pee that much yet anyway) if your budget allows it, the stay-dry ones are really nice!)-6 wraps (either the airflow or Rikki wrap is great)Just a hint I purhcased two all-in-one Fuzzy Bunz pocket dipaers, and although they look cute and are fairly compact, they are terrible. My daughter soaks through them in about an hour, even during the day. Mother-ease makes really nice all-in-one dipaers if you are looking for them.Good luck!

OMG! Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the content home a bit, besides that, this is informative blog. A wonderful read. Ill certainly revisit again.

I am extremely new to CD. Does it matter that I make my laundry soap? I also have a sanitize mode on my washer and will be using that faithfully. I will definitely be coming down to the store for shopping advice. My baby is due the beginning of April and I just want to have a handle on things before she comes.

I just saw your post on the happybottomus website. I love Brookie Lee. I am a labor doula and am always looking for women to help attend births when I cannot make it because of another birth. I am busy and turning away births often as I cant be at all of them, If you are interested in being an on call support I would be happy to meet with you and see if you are a good fit for my back up.
