I know not a lot of mommies on here cloth so this won't get much love but I'm finally building my stash! I have 18 more diapers on their way to me, 10 that need replaced elastics, and 2 with weak snaps that aren't pictured. I'm set! I just have to stop buying them now. It's become addicting!! 😖
I need a new storage space!
I EBF so I just throw it in the wet bag (diaper pail) and after a day or two toss all the diapers in the washer. Her poop is water soluble since she only has breast milk. I do a prewash and main wash both with detergent and in hot water so I know for sure they're getting clean. And I clean the washing machine once a month with bleach. I do have a diaper sprayer for when she starts eating actual foods. It's like a kitchen sink sprayer hooked up to the toilet. You spray off the poop before putting it in the wet bag.
what do u do when there's pop in it just grab it with a wip and throw it and push it in the washer??
@mama_tj, right. They're so cute and there's a diaper with every pattern, color, or character you could ever imagine. I love it.
@kelseys, it depends on the diaper. There's all in ones, all in twos, hybrids, pockets., and fitteds. And there's the more old school cloth like flats and Prefolds. All in ones are exactly like disposables, but in cloth. The absorbency is built in and you just put it on! Pockets are very similar. There's a diaper she'll and you stuff the absorbency (insert) into the pocket. All in twos usually have snap in absorbency. Sometimes you can take the insert out of the shell and snap a new one in of no poop got on the cover. Hybrids are very similar. Hybrid fitteds are like fitteds that don't need a cover for about 2 hours. (Which is when you should be changing the diaper anyways.) Fitteds, flats, and Prefolds need covers. They're basically cloths that you fold onto baby and snappy/boingo (a fancy hook thing that keeps the diaper closed) or pin it shut. Fitteds are shaped like a diaper, they just don't have anything to make them water resistant on the outside so they need covers.
@khylatthomas, so much!! It saves about 2 thousand dollars by the time one kid is potty trained. Of you use the same diapers on your next kid, that's another 2k!!! (Imagine all that money literally going into the garbage.) Environmentally friendly! All of those disposables have chemicals and go into landfills. Those chemicals also cause a lot of diaper rashes! And with cloth you very rarely, if ever, get a poopsplosion! Seriously my little one has had about 20 blowouts in didposables and only 1 in cloth and that was because she was too little for the diaper o had put on her. Not to mention they're cute as hell.
@spuermommy, no I bought them. Some of them were made by my mom or other work at home moms though!
how do you even cloth diaper? like do you only change the inside of it or the whole thing? do you go thru them fast?
