    Prepare me for the family battle...!

    First time mom here. I’m due in April and absolutely set on cloth diapering but I already know my grandparents and parents are going to be vehemently against this. What sorts of comments/questions should I prepare for? How did your family react to Your decision to cloth diapering? P.s. they...

    NB stash, ISO good home

    Hello, clothies! I posted here some months ago about my first world problem complex in letting go of perfectly good diapers when I can't control if the people on the other end will actually commit to cloth or not. If I had unlimited time and money, I'd probably just do therapy. But since...

    Detergent build up and soft water

    So I’ve got some detergent build up and having ammonia issues along with my baby getting really bad diaper rashes when using cloth. I just tested my water hardness and it’s soft (between 0-25). I was using regular tide powder in an HE top loader (using esembly agitator balls), but now I’m...

    Am I asking too much?

    I have some diapers listed on a local Facebook b/s/t cloth diaper group, but they've been up a while and not selling. They're Gdiapers brand, so I'm wondering if it's maybe just that it's not as popular as some other brands or if I'm asking for too much. I have listed and sold some other...

    How to dispose soft poop

    Hi! We’re introducing solids and now I have no idea how to deal with poops. She’s been EBF until now. The new poops aren’t firm enough to dispose in the toilet. They’re sticky and sometimes “sandy”. I use inners and they don’t recommend spraying them before hand… How are y’all doing it?

    Grovia O.N.E.s for night time?

    My 8-month baby pees a ton at night, currently using pampers goodnights size 4, which are technically a bit above her current weight (20lbs). I’ve tried workhorses with a wool cover but they get so wet all over and I think it bugs her at night. I’ve heard some people say they use Grovia O.N.E.s...

    Anyone interested in 0-6 month basewoolies?

    http://clothdiapertrader.com/posting/39936 I have a pink(Dauphine) and purple(Aster) in 0-6 left and I believe they are sold out at the Sloomb store. I bought these before #2 was born with the idea that I was going to keep doing wool full time. Well, that didn't happen and now I'm stuck with...

    Daycare says Cloth Diapers Uncomfortable

    Background: Our daycare accepts cloth diapers, and there is even another kiddo in them as well in our class! I posted in this group before about how they were worried the cloth diapers I was using was preventing my 9 mo old from crawling. They asked if they could use disposables sometimes...

    Help a lazy Alva-pocket-diapering person graduate to something better for overnight?

    Baby is almost 11 months and started sometimes leaking overnight with one-size Alva pockets that are stuffed with: Two Gerber Birdseye 3-Ply Prefolds One regular Alvababy insert (the ones the diapers come with - I think they're polyster 3 ply?). In the morning the inserts are completely soaked...

    Grovia O.N.E. stinks..

    I recently got a used Grovia ONE and it smelled faintly like a school toilet when I got it. I ran it through a hot wash with my towels and such, but now that it's dry it smells again! I can't exactly make out what part (shell or inserts) it is, it just lingers around... how can I fix it? Bleach...

    Testing PuL covers

    We are getting more leaks, and probably (some of) our PUL covers are at the end of their life. Does anyone have a good method of testing which ones are still holding up and which are leaking?

    Down the rabbit hole :p

    I love cloth diapering so much! I thought I'd do it for environmental and fiscal reasons, but now that I'm doing it they're just so cute!! I have to stop myself from buying all the cute prints because I'd not be able to use all the ones I want :D Anyone else feel this way hahaha

    Jujube B.F.F

    I'm thinking about splurging and buying one. I wanna know how well they accommodate cloth. I use the same diaper bag for shopping, errands, and overnights(so about 2-6 totsbots diapers). And I don't carry a purse unless I'm at the bar(a small clutch). I don't like transferring things from bag to...

    Sometimes I want to give up. Anyone else

    Hi everyone! It's nice I have found a whole subreddit dedicated to cloth diaps. But honestly I'm quite discouraged. I'm using an Ai3 system set that was very expensive (regional production), stocked up the inserts because I had to wash every day, but there are days (and nights) in which the...
