cloth diapers

Up until recently, we’d been using Essembly Size 1 diapers. My son outgrew those and then spent some time in the hospital, during which time we started using disposables. Now that he’s home and healthy again, I’d like to go back to cloth. I’m tempted to go back to Essembly, but my son has become...

My first official baby purchase, $165 for 25 4.0 bum genius , 3 bumgenius aio, lots of inserts and 4 wet bags. I have a few other types of my registry (flip, econobum). Do you have any newborn recommendations? Can I use these inserts for a newborn diaper or do most people do disposable for...

I'm just starting out and only have a small stash, each load is only about 6 pockets w/ inserts, 3 covers, and 7-9 prefolds. We're in disposables overnight. This is what I accumulate over 2-3 days before "laundry day. " I think this is my washer. I can barely fill what looks like 1/4 or 1/3 of...

Hello! My 6yo daughter has been having a lot of overnight accidents lately. I am 33 weeks pregnant and think it's related... She is going on a 2 night overnight with her school in a couple of weeks and I'm wanting to send her with some cloth pull ups so she doesn't pee in her sleeping bag night...

You can all laugh at me. I'm literally reacting to disposables how everyone reacts to cloth. And yes, I see the irony. Baby has had some recurring albeit minor contact rashes and after trying everything and it never fully resolving, but coming and going for a few months, we've decided to just...

If you have to choose, which Zorb fabrics are the best for cloth nappy inserts? In terms of absorbency. Not keen on compression leaks though😬. Maximum 800GSM absorbency. I'm expecting up to 30ml-40ml of liquid before changing the nappy. Apparently bamboo absorbs 5mls of liquid per gram of...

Hey All! I wanted to update my previous post asking if anyone use both a bidet AND diaper sprayer, we actually found one on Amazon that worked seamlessly with our Tushy Bidet! This is how the handheld bidet works with the tushy here is a link to the one we found but I think ANY bidet with...

My stash, annotated below! Hi! I know there’s often a lot of questions about cloth diapering a newborn here (and I did about 482928 “newborn stash” searches here as I was preparing), so I wanted to give a rundown of the current set-up I’m using with my 18 day-old, who has been in 100% cloth...

Before I delivered I had all the intentions to use cloth. I got everything I needed. I was planning on using Prefolds and fitteds with a mix off wool and regular covers. I ended up having some very severe complications postpartum and was in and out of the icu for the first 6 weeks. My baby is...

I have been searching for this occasionally for months. I think I’ve finally found the answer. Backstory: Alva Baby uses weird snaps. Size 20 KAM snaps don’t stay snapped well. It is super annoying when trying to repair a diaper, make extenders, or make elastics to convert to pull-ups. Clue...

Hi!!! I have another question. Mu husband want to mostly use cloth, but we would like to have disposable diapers as a backup. I want to pick a brand that's more environmentally friendly, so I was looking into bamboo diapers. I read that bamboo only takes 2-3 months to biodegrade unlike...

I have come to the realization that some of my prefolds will never be used because they are too long. I don't snappi or wrap them. I simply pad fold and lay in the cover. Am I correct in assuming that the ones which are 16.25" and 18.5" long will never be used for pad folding? Here is what I am...

Feeling overwhelmed, so might cloth diaper part time to at least start! But I have 3 needs/situations: 1) Baby is home in just a diaper (or possibly also leg warmers and tshirt). We are starting elimination communication, so if we have a miss I will immediately (ideally) see it and move him to...

My baby is just over 2 weeks old and around 9lbs, and he leaks through absolutely everything. I wanted to use disposables for the first month or so until he was bigger, but he leaked through size nb and size 1 of various brands. My husband and I decided to go ahead and use our cloth diapers, and...

Hello! First baby due in 6 weeks, we have a hire kit of newborn cloth nappies lined up, we have our washable wipes kit, and we are committed to getting our own cloth nappies once we work out what we like! I’ve been doing lots of research, including on this sub, and lots of people seem to pair...

I found, if I calculated correctly, $650 worth of cloth diapers for free today on a mom’s sales group on Facebook. They are all used but the PUL and elastics are in great shape. After I pulled everything out I got: 7 grovia and nick’s diapers AI2 15 smart bottom snap inserts 5 grovia and...

Did you know that we are during Prime Day?? ;) Here are the 2 options I was thinking of buying so far... Cloth diaper bundle Wet bag bundle What are your thoughts?

I’m a FTM setting up my registry. I’m both impressed and overwhelmed by the amount of cloth diapers available today. I want to keep it simple and get the most out of my registry. Will I regret requesting 20 3.0 pocket diapers from mama koala? They say they fit most from 8-40 lbs. what type of...

For some reason I can’t post pictures here, I thought they used to be allowed... anyway, here’s the covers. Searching “perfect pocket diaper” they don’t come up. My mom got them free from someone, so I have no idea where they were originally purchased.
