I grew up as a cloth diaper kid - the first diapers I ever changed were with big diaper pins with the yellow ducks on the ends and the white plastic pants. Before I was pregnant, or even thinking of kids, I wanted to cloth diaper. Before I knew about the new great cloth diaper formats, I was planning to cloth diaper. My daughter is six months old this week and I can't believe it! We're six months into cloth diapering and I haven't regretted it ONE minute. I love love LOVE it.
When I was searching for the diapers I would use with our daughter, it spent HOURS researching. If you've started looking down this rabbit hole, you know how overwhelming it can be. My hope is that I can help you navigate the sea of diaper choices with far less time invested than I did.
"Bekah's Cloth Bums" is my foray into the cloth diaper world...for YOU.
Your Turn: What questions do you really want answers to and what topics would you like covered?
Can you cover cleaning the diapers? Some people I know have just laundered them with the same laundry soap as all their other clothes. Others use difficult-to-find organic soap balls, and still others just vinegar or something like that. I've also heard of toilet sprayers that help in cleaning and just wonder about how much of all that extra stuff is really needed. Cloth diapering is definitely something I'd like to do down the road, so I'm soaking up info now!
ReplyDeletehi there! i just read all your posts - jill from hope recommended your blog!
ReplyDeletei am due august 1st and want to start cloth diapering but i wondering how to get started. ie. how many will i need initially and do i commit to one brand to start or how do i try multiple? is it better to buy 20 diapers of all the same brand that i think i will like the best? what if i'm disappointed? or should i buy several different ones? will that be annoying in trying to figure out a system?
i want a less bulky bottom and whatever is the least work (as far as assembly i think) that is also not going to leak! :)
thanks in advance for answering all my questions!
