    My new washing machine just got delivered!! 😍

    I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and planning on cloth diapering. Our washing machine was 18 years old and died in grace. She was washing fine up until the end and had to be repaired only once. But ultimately the on-switch completely broke off. I called the repair company and they said this part...

    Help pls

    I’m losing my mind over these diapers. I didn’t have an issue for months, then we moved. We have SOFT water here. At 25ppm. I did not know considering we have a well but no softener so I assumed it would be harder. This led to build up. I stripped once. Reevaluated my wash routine for the soft...

    I’m torn abt whether or not to cloth full time

    Kind of a rant, kind of a “what would you do?” I did cloth with my older child from 7 months old when I discovered it until almost 3 when she grew out of them. She’s autistic and has been in pull ups since, turning 6 in a couple weeks. I’ve been back and forth on that one bc buying big...

    6 week old HEAVY wetter

    My 6 week old boy is a super heavy wetter. He can and will piss through anything you throw at him. Unsure if he's flooding or just has the bladder of a full grown man but he wets through literally everything we put on him. The entire nappy and insert(s) are always absolutely soaked through when...
