    Off Grid Wool Suggestions

    Hello everyone 👋 I’m a FTM expecting in October. My husband and I live off grid, we get all our water through rain catchment and try to produce no/little waste, mostly because we’re out in the country without a garbage service. I’d love to do a mix of cloth diapering and EC with my first. I’m...

    To strip or not to strip?

    so I've decided to try out Tide F and G after asking all of you wonderful people. I've been using Charlie's soap for about 6/7 months now with zero issues regarding smells or absorbency, rashes and whatnot, but the tide is a lot cheaper and I wanted to switch to avoid any mineral build up...

    Can I sanitize diapers by running a cycle with bleach?

    I need to sanitize some secondhand diapers, and I’d like to not deal with soaking them in my bathtub if I can avoid it. I have an hE front loading washer (GFW450SSMWW). Can I just add 1/3 cup of bleach to the bleach dispenser and run a long cycle with hot water? I read the FLU instructions but I...

    How often to change and machine cycle questions

    Hey guys, Ive just started cloth nappies with my 8 week old baby, so far so good. I'm doing it part time until I can build my stash (currently have 16) so every third day I need to use disposables. My question is how often do you change/check the diaper? I have become accustomed to being able...

    Cloth diapering a preemie - what weight did you start diapering?

    My baby was born at 34 weeks and is a month old today (calendar age - her corrected gestational age is 38 and a half weeks, her due date is 8/14). She was a little thing at birth and is now just about 6.5 lbs. She’s just now fitting into newborn size clothes and newborn size disposable diapers...

    Why don’t more people use wool?

    Maybe I’m underestimating how challenging wool will be to take care of? I don’t see much about wool anywhere though! It just seems like it makes more sense to me from a health and environmental standpoint.

    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...

    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...

    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...
