    Still mourning Tide free & gentle powder

    @y0ung1996 Not in Canada, but the most success I have had is with white bottle tide free and gentle. I have just slightly had water, nothing major

    Travel tips for 100% cloth

    @dominga I've done 4 flight-based trips with my LO now, always 100% cloth and definitely say your plan sounds totally solid. Definitely go with 3 days worth because of the travel days. At 5 months, either poop schedules can be all over the map. No poop for a week or the worst, stickiest...

    Prince Lionheart + cloth wipes - bacteria concerns?

    @egram I have never used any kind of solution with my wipes, just good old water. I suggest trying just water and seeing if that solves the problem and if baby continues to have no issues, you have just solved a problem and saved yourself some unnecessary steps all at the same time!

    Overnight Cloth Diaper Solutions

    @desdemona Of what you have, I would try using a large or medium workhorse - whichever fits more trimly - and then trifold large prefold and put it in a slightly larger cover than you usually use and make sure the gussets are relatively well sealed around the thighs. I find thirsties a bit...

    Very hard water folks - what do you use for powder detergent?

    @defoehorses As someone who used to use 7th gen F&C liquid with diapers - you definitely will want something better, lol! It worked fine in the ebf stage, but once 5/6 months hit, my diapers started to get a lot worse. My water is only about half as hard as yours, but I have switched to tide...

    Amazon Package Deals?

    @truthvsmedia The main reason I'd avoid this kind of package now is that it is for one-size diapers and it's likely it won't fit your baby for another 3-5 months. And in that time, you might have solidified some of your diapering preferences and these diapers might not fit that preference! I...

    Destash Q?

    @kexonplastic I have also had good luck selling on Mercari. I sell as like-groups and don't expect to make much out of it profit-wise and move my stuff relatively quickly! I haven't ever had Mercari give me the cash for what I've sold, I've just used the credit to buy other stuff

    PLEASE HELP ME 😭😭😭

    @malleeboy You could certainly put a will cover over your current diaper, but I think part of your leak problem is that the the pocket cover's pocket is keeping the cloth from really being a snug fit around you baby's thighs. You will definitely want to avoid any microfiber inserts with this...

    workhorses??

    @jmv Do you currently have a baby, or are you planning ahead? Question mainly related to what sizes to get to try. Having to boost them depends on baby's age and how often you want to change them! I never needed to boost the newborn ones - mostly because baby POOPS so much as a newborn that...

    PLEASE HELP ME 😭😭😭

    @malleeboy You could, but the issue you have is that pockets only have "single gussets" which means that they aren't cut with as much flexibility to pack as much absorbent material into them. Covers are sized more generously and the double-gussets basically give extra space for inserts to get...

    PLEASE HELP ME 😭😭😭

    @malleeboy Yeah, this to me sounds like the covers just aren't fitting him right at night. You probably want to get some different covers for nighttime, and I would recommend against pockets, because they often don't give the space for extra padding like covers with double gussets. If you want...

    PLEASE HELP ME 😭😭😭

    @malleeboy A couple questions for better diagnosing of solutions: Where are the leaks coming from? Top front, back or legs? (Or multiple/all!) How absolutely-soaked is the cloth when it has leaked overnight? Is it outright dripping or just moderately damp, still some dry spots?

    Non-plastic cloth diaper brands?

    @jayrashman You might consider cloth fitted diapers like the workhorse diaper. They're super easy for daycares to use and you can easily use either a regular polyester cover from your donated stash or a get some fancy wool covers for maximum no-plastic effect!

    @rexcolin Mercari usually has some available, though large and XL are less common to find

    Cloth diapering newborn

    @mauriciosr I have no experience with essembly, but I do covers and prefolds now. And I definitely encourage your re-thinking about pockets, - I found alva NB pockets to be really terrible with leg gaps. I was happiest when I had 45+ prefolds/inserts/etc. at that stage, because that removed any...
