CLOTH DIAPERS WITH 2 KIDS, My Favorite & Least Favorite Diapers, & What I Wish I Knew 3 Years Ago

CLOTH DIAPERS WITH 2 KIDS, My Favorite & Least Favorite Diapers, & What I Wish I Knew 3 Years Ago. In today’s video I’ll go over what my favorite and least favorite cloth diapers are now that I’ve used them for 3 years. I’ve used Bumgenius, Alva baby, mama koala, ELF and Happy Beehinds primarily. I’ll also go over what I wish I would have known while starting this journey, and what we’ve done about our heavy night time wetter. Leave your questions down below for the Q&A episode!

Thank you for reminding us that we're just human parents and we try to do the best we could humanly possible for our children. And also, to improve our sanity and give grace to ourselves.. THANK. YOU. LIZ 👏🙌

At this point, I’ve probably watched 50+ cloth diapering videos and yours have helped me the most!!!! We’re a couple weeks in with cloth diapering and having a blast 😊 Thank you!

Liz, bless you for making this video! I am new to cloth diapering - my little boy is just over 1 and we are expecting a little girl in April. I have been so nervous about cloth diapering a toddler and a baby at once! I feel a million times better now. And also, thank you for mentioning AlvaBaby diapers as MANY cloth diaper advocates poo-poo on that brand but I've really been liking them (and the price!) so far, so it is a relief to know that a veteran cloth user is pro-Alva :)

I'm glad I found your channel! I love how quickly you get through your video. You talk very clear and fast! I am currently 35 weeks pregnant and I have scoured FB marketplace for well cared cloth diapers. So it will be interesting to try all the brands I acquired!

[GabyStaas]

Idk why it sent already. But you’re amazing! You gave all the answers easily without making life complicated! Thank you!

[katherinehammons]

I’m a week into cloth diapering my 2 month old, and these videos have definitely helped!

[catherinehasselbring]

I also had to learn the hard way about detergent. I wanted to use a natural one but in the end Tide free and gentle POWDER saved my cloth diapering life! And I also love the sun!

[araseliescarcia]

I have been doing cloth diapers with my baby and we are going on 8 this is all thanks to you! with all the tips specially with the fts they work amazing for us.. thank you so much

[GabyStaas]

New sub! You totally won me over! My third on the way and disposables are soooo expensive! And I love that this is better for the environment!

[robyn]

Thank you so much for your videos! I am going to cloth diaper and have found your videos so helpful! I think cloth diapering will be simple once I get the hang of it! I am definitely going to order some flour sack towels

[francessimecki]

I’m in the planning phase, but totally overwhelmed already. Your video is pretty straightforward and informative. I will be following your advice as I add things to my registry. Thanks so much!

I found you a year or so ago because of your cloth diaper video haha, I’m not in the medical field at all but find all your content very informative...I’m jealous that your bumgenius diapers are holding up great! I bought a stash of about 10 as seconds from their site and every single one had stretched elastics! Live and learn I guess! Once I’m able to find elastic a friend is going to replace them for me. A lot of our “cheaper” diapers are holding up so much better. We’re gearing up to cloth diaper #2 with a newborn stash first but have about 30ish one size. Once he grows out of the newborn it’s good to know that 40ish will be good for two babies.

Also....I got some flour sack towels. You are 100% right about them! Absolutely amazing.

My son outpeed huggies overnights half the time. It was so horrible. The only bulletproof option for us was a Twinkie Tush Night Night fitted with a fleece cover. Fleece is just as good as wool. It took me 18 months to find that setup though. Every recommended night diaper failed except that one.

[loveinki]

Thank you so so much for your videos! I can‘t tell you how helpful your videos are! 🥰

[rizm]

Hi Liz! Do you have a video on how to reset cloth diapers? Need to strip and bleach some pre-loved nappies. Thank you!

[liveyourlife]

She seems fun. Like you would want to have her as a friend

[kcflitter]

***IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE***
Careful in the pool! Swim diapers are designed to be less absorpent because an absorbent wet diaper is a HEAVY diaper, and could weigh the baby down. Not a problem if you're holding the baby carefully the whole time you're in/by the pool, but if your baby is learning to swim, use a swim diaper.

[alexisbryant]

I’ve watched all your cloth diapering videos! Super excited to implement everything in August! :)

1. How did you wash your first kid when you got your diapers? People have ordered me cloth diapers for my baby shower and I have read a lot of different things on hot/ cold water and number of washes. 2. I know you have a newborn Alva hack and I plan on doing it but I noticed in this video you mentioned you started when they were one month old. Do you recommend disposable diapers until a month? Or was it due to baby size?

[laurissawolfram-hvass]

Probably a very silly question... we’ve been cloth diapering for maybe 6 weeks now and it’s been going GREAT. I’ve been too scared to do overnight, but I’m ready to give it a shot. When you “sandwich” together different inserts, what order do layer them in? Do you fold them into the FST? Layer on top of FST? On bottom? There’s a distinct possibility I am overthinking this and it doesn’t even matter.

Love your CD videos!!!! They’ve helped me more than any other videos or blogs.
