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...

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...

I wrote a post on here a couple weeks ago and got some helpful tips, so thank you! My husband and I came up with a plan for gentle sleep training that we think we can actually do. We've been doing it only for a few days and I feel better knowing we have a plan. What I don't feel better about is...

I stumbled on the Blackout Blocks by Otterspace online recently. They seem like an ideal solution but I'm having trouble finding reviews - has anyone here tried them...

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...

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...

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...

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

went to a town wide tag sale today and bought all of this for $60! i’ve always wanted to try cloth diapering, i’m frankly so sick of buying diapers. i have a 6 month old and a 2.5 year old both in diapers. i plan on using this all for my 6m. i got… 26 mama koala diapers 2 K&A designs (these...

What are the best sized night nappies in your experience? What do you think about sized night nappies (e.g. Bitti Boo/ Dunk n Fluff)?

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.

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...

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...

Still patiently waiting for babes to grow a little bits in order to fit into the cloth diapers finally. So excited to use them & afraid at the same time, since I have been using regular diapers for the past two weeks due to baby being tiny tiny tiny :/ I hope she and us can make the switch...

I hope this isn't a dumb question, but I run into this problem so much, I figured I'd ask the above question. An example, my kid had a crazy day and ended up having a late 2nd nap today (4pm-4:30pm). He's 10months old and normally has a 4hr ww before bed, but he only napped 1.5 hours for the...

Has anyone participated in a Precious Little Sleep, baby sleep club? I think it is newer, but wondering if it’s worth it $350 for 4 weeks https://www.preciouslittlesleep.com/baby-sleep-club/?fbclid=IwAR1s0hqy8bZ4ZA1BcVlM5PzktI_xZ28tC6sCaD3z1TS-y2CA1mQzAEYru_Q

Hi! I’m brand new to this and will be a FTM this spring. I never thought I’d cloth diaper and thought about it at the very beginning of my pregnancy but wrote it off since we live in a rental with a very very small space. Here I am halfway through and I’m really thinking I want to do this! I...

I’m collecting for our little one due in February! I think I have everything I intend for the first 6 months or so. Anything I’m missing?? Obviously, size 2 Thirsties and baby wipes are needed yet. Input appreciated :-)! -newborn prefolds (12) -newborn workhorse (4) -newborn all in one (22)...

What do your babies wear to sleep? My LO is 5 months and he’s been in sleep gowns since about 3.5 months when he started hating the swaddle. He likes to sleep with his arms up and now he’ll sleep on his back, side and tummy. What do you put your LO’s in to sleep? For reference, it’s about...
