I had trouble getting the cloth diapers to dry, even in our hot summer heat, and ended up spending a lot on our electricity bill by running the dryer. I'm all for elimination communication, maybe when baby gets to about 3 months old. It has been working really well for us, and we definitely use less diapers on average. Also, having piglet go poop in the toilet is so nice! We don't catch them all, but we change a lot less poopy diapers overall.

I use costco wipes. You also need to make sure to use safe diaper rash cream. Personally, I use coconut oil. It's cleared up any hint of a rash within one diaper change. Plus, it's cheap. :) Check out San Diego Real Diaper Circle on FB, they are a GREAT resource for cloth info.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429563130581149460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510148679606227270.post-90474434019988446022014-07-05T23:40:56.150-07:002014-07-05T23:40:56.150-07:00Keep it simple!

Once we moved and had a w&d, I bought my own prefolds, but then I got lured into the world of pockets because of the beautiful covers and ease of cloth diapering. About 5 months later, I started to dread stuffing the pockets, then I battled ammonia, and barnyard stink, so I went back to basics. I bought more prefolds and flats, and sold off my pocket stash. I wish I had never changed in the first place. Now that I'm on kid #2 in cloth, she will only be in prefolds and flats. We use GMD unbleached prefolds and flats, with Thirsties covers. When she gets bigger, she'll wear Sweetpeas one size covers. Right now, our washing routine is this: soak with Bio-Kleen Bac-Out (just a few squirts) in warm water, then a wash in hot water with Eco Sprouts, and 2 rinses on either cold or warm (up to you), and then I dry in the dryer, or sun them to get the poo stains out. D is EBF so we don't have to worry about really funky poo yet.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429563130581149460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1510148679606227270.post-54148369435695681842014-07-01T16:41:29.044-07:002014-07-01T16:41:29.044-07:00You are so busy, it's no problem!

Ack! So sorry, friend. Here is the link to what I did: http://thoughtsnwhatnots.blogspot.com/2011/04/cloth-diapering-101.html and my friend Callie also did a great CD series, that can be found on this page, under Cloth Diapering! http://www.throughcloudedglass.com/p/our-baby-stories.html<br /><br />My best advice is to not put all your diapers in one basket. ;) Try many brands, before stocking up. Each baby is shaped differently. Right now I use GroVia and FuzziBunz on my chunky legged 15mo. He is shaped different than the previous two, and thankfully doesn't have the sensitive skin that they did! LeAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360378882035668129noreply@blogger.com
