    Why do YOU use cloth diapers?

    I hope this type of curious post is allowed! I had my first baby 4 months ago. I’m an environmentalist so before she was born I put together my stash, eager to cloth diaper. Then she was born and her skinny bum didn’t fit her cloth stash, so we used disposables. She’s only now fitting into the...

    TTC in 6 months. Doing research on cloth diaper stash and have questions

    As the title says, my SO and I will be TTC in August and I've recently found out that the daycares in our area accept cloth diapers. Can I get some input on my possible cloth diaper stash? I haven't decided yet whether I like the cheapness of the prefolds/covers or the ease of pockets/AI2/AIOs...

    Travel tips for 100% cloth

    I know most people recommend using disposables for travel but I’ve never used them and don’t really want to start now. I’m committed to cloth so looking for travel tips from those who have also used cloth on big trips! We live in Hawaii and are doing a mainland tour to visit family for almost 3...

    Currently, we live in a 2 bedroom apartment and have an ikea cart holding all our diapers. We’ll be moving into a townhome. Living room, kitchen, dining room ground floor and 2 bedrooms upstairs.

    What a night time solution for a heavy wetter actually looks like

    I thought I'd share what my night solution looks like, because nights are often not as simple as sticking another layer in a pocket diaper, though we all wish it was that easy. Instead, night solutions are often bulky and piecemeal. I hope this helps people get an idea of what night diapers can...

    Another rash post

    I cannot figure out why my cloth diapers are giving my baby a rash. It goes away in disposables. They are freshly stripped and bleached, I followed fluff love u’s directions perfectly. The bleach is new. I just tried putting her back in cloth and the same rash came back. We’ve been using them...

    Stubborn Detergent Buildup

    So, I discovered we had a ton of detergent buildup due to using too much and also our washer probably never getting cleaned before we moved into this apartment. I did a bunch of empty, no detergent cycles in our washer with some vinegar, then I used Affresh. Then I did probably like 8 hot rinse...

    Prince Lionheart + cloth wipes - bacteria concerns?

    We cloth diaper, and use cloth wipes - both dry and wet. Wet go in a prince lionheart warmer ( grovia wipes ), and we use the default olive oil + baby soap formula, and have the microbial pad in the pad case in the bottom. It doesn't take long until the pad starts to get orange spots around...

    Night time diaper recommendation for a 6-8 hrs sleeping baby

    Hello! FTM Here and 8 weeks post partum. I recently switched to compostable diapers (earth baby (service) that drops new diapers, picks up old diapers and composts them to make manure for the city). I subscribed for dyper. It is an expensive deal, but water is gold here and can't afford to spend...

    Help me decide-pregnant & planning

    I’m currently expecting, 22 weeks now, and I’ve been starting to build a stash for when baby arrives. I do have some cloth experience with my older son, but we didn’t start until he was almost a year old. We (really, I) used prefolds/boosters and OS or size 2 Thirsties covers. Because he was...

    BumGenius elastics – no sew or full replacement method?

    I am going to try my hand at fixing the elastics in some BumGenius diapers and would love to hear from people who have done it before. I am wondering if I should first do the no-sew way and get the last of the life out of the current elastic before doing a full replacement. For those who have...

    Probably a silly question (birdseye/pockets)

    Hey y'all, I have what's probably a silly question about birdseye cloths and pocket covers. My mom bought us a pack of birdseye cloth diapers from Gerber and I registered for an extra two packs, plus she gave me her stash she used as burp cloths. So I now have an overabundance of these and no...

    Please tell me what to add to my stash to make overnights stress-free (currently using disposables at night)

    I’ve posted here before when I was thinking of starting overnight cloth diapering, but it didn’t work out so I’m back for more advice. We cloth diaper in daytime only right now. We tried over night cloth diapering for a few nights, and I don’t know if it was a coincidence or not, but we had a...
