Hi! What brand of newborn prefolds do you recommend to go under a newborn cover? I bought some used (unsure of brand) and they don’t fit our baby. They are 10.5 x 9 prepped and the 9 is way too small to fit around her waist. The small sizes I got are way too big and long. She is 3 weeks and...

Hi! I posted here a few weeks ago asking for help with feedback on a product my partner and I invented over the pandemic - we got such an amazing response we wanted to do something good to give back. We’ve managed to get a PhD sleep researcher (who is also a professor, clinical behavioural...

This sub includes a preponderance of posts that sound like this: My baby didn't sleep, I had no idea about sleep training, then I discovered it, implemented it, and on the third night they tucked themself in and slept twelve hours. Now I have my life back. If that's you, I'm happy. But I asked...

I’m new to cloth diapers so I don’t know all the lingo. I’m using Alva baby diapers they are the kind that you insert a pad into a pocket so they pee on the cover and it has to be washed every diaper change. Each diaper came with two inserts each. My babies (twins) are 7 weeks old am I supposed...

Hi all, I have a LOT of diapers that I have been gifted. I like some, but some of them I would like to sell for other people to enjoy. I have posted on FB cloth pages and I never get any bites. I feel like most of those buyers want specific prints/brands, whereas mine are more solid colors and...

Baby is 8 months old/18 lbs, and we are just now getting back into cloth diapers after a short break due to our childcare situation. We started out using Thirsties Duowrap covers with a mix of prefolds, a few flats, and preflats, and that worked great for the early days. We also have some...

Hey, y’all! I recently started trying out preflats after being too apprehensive to try them and found out I actually dig them quite a bit! They’re so soft and trim. I was wondering, are they easy to make? Can I make them with a regular sewing machine or do I need a special machine? Where can...

me again. i’m curious about the green mountain clotheez workhorses - i know people have commented on my posts before and ive seen them mentioned around the sub - and im possibly looking into getting some to try and see if ill like them more than my pockets and AIOs. couple q’s: how many of each...

Pediatrician says that diaper rash is unavoidable with cloth as moisture is held to the skin. Please help me get some perspective. Is there not bound to be some light redness with either cloth or disposable? How much redness is acceptable? Six months. GroVia hybrids user. ETA Thank you all...

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...

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...

Hello cloth diaper fam! I have a few questions on the logistics of cloth diapering a newborn. I am still pregnant and have lots of time to figure out and learn more but I am very excited to begin. I am open to advice please!! I am hoping to cloth diapering from birth. I was thinking of getting...

I joined the r/sleeptrain community around this time last year, as a desperate FTM to a then 4mo navigating sleep training, the 4-3 transition, PPD, and the whole shebang. It’s been a crazy journey. I talked to countless parents here over the year to learn, exchange tips, have friendly...
