I wish I knew! | Cloth diapering one year review.

We started cloth diapering around 3 months and have been doing it every since!
It's been about a year now so I wanted to share how it's going!

The hardest part about getting started with cloth diapers is deciding which style is best for you!
The other important piece is how the heck do you wash a cloth diaper!

I get into all of that in this video!

We're saving the world people, one diaper change at a time!

I appreciate how fast you speak and that you are down to the point. I have these lenghty videos - hey guys, dont mind my hair, my background, I have a new

[cassieshoemaker]

This is the first mom channel that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out 😅😅

[ashleybeazley]

It’s soooo overwhelming and then like 2 weeks in you’re like oh this is so easy and no big deal at all lol

[hannahfahrenbruch]

I got over 40 diapers used on Facebook marketplace for $250. Been cloth diapering since 3 weeks. Everyone thinks I’m crazy but I love it. They keep coming and are like “how did you like it” fully expecting me to say I gave up. They can’t believe that I like it so much! What a money saver and he is so cute in the prints

[haileyhall]

I seriously love your channel! Been TTC for three years with two previous miscarriages. We travel full time in a fifth wheel and I’m now 24 weeks with my first rainbow baby girl. I’ve done a lot of research into pregnancy, birth, and babies. Your channel is so invaluable! I want to do a natural unmedicated hypnobirthing, Cloth diapering 80/20, EC, pretty much all the things you talk about. I just love how real and relatable you are! Thank you!

[altchang]

I love your totally pragmatic and chill attitude! Your sense of humor and realistic advice are so appreciated

My baby is four months old, we have been doing cloth diapers since week 2. My top suggestions would be:
1) use them from 3.4 kg on
2) quickly prewash the poopy ones so you can wash them along with the rest of their clothes
3) use hipoalergenic soap, with no perfume or color or parabens, it´s just safer for their skin
4) your wet bag can easily be a cloth bag from the supermarket, I recommend putting it in the washing machine along with the diapers
5) diapers with velcro: you can either put them inside the wetbag in the washing machine so they don´t get all caught up in the wool clothes, or wash them assembled inside out
6) first buy a few of different styles to try what works best for you. When you figure that out, about 20 diapers should be ok. I have 15 and I fall a few short when it rains 3 or 4 days straight. (unless you buy two in ones, then you need less diapers and more abs)
7) specially at night, it´s great to have a few already assembled. It's easier and faster, your baby is less time naked and your partner will have less of an issue changing them too!

It´s really not that hard. It´s essentially the same as using disposable diapers, with the difference that you have to do a little bit more laundry. But you save a lot of money, produce less trash and your baby's skin will definitely appreciate it. The pros outweight the cons by a lot.

We’ve been doing reusable wipes since day one! Highly recommend. I have a huge stack of old clothes cut into smaller squares and a spray bottle with water, almond oil and dr bronners. Then we just chuck the dirty wipes in a wet bag and wash them when it’s full.

Bro, I found your channel today, I’m about to have my first baby and I feel so happy because:

1) you talk fast and I need that
2) you have normal conversational tendencies and dont sound like a manufactured rehearsed human that’s monotone
3) you look like a real person and by that I do t mean you aren’t pretty (you’re very pretty) but I love that you just are living and have your hair up and minimal makeup and made this video. Like thanks for being okay with that, because most of us out here watching are like that.

my husband came in last week while I was watching a random baby information video and he said “tell me you wear a lot of makeup without telling me you wear a lot of makeup” 😂

ANYWHO, I’ve subscribed and thanks for being a normal relatable person 🎉

I didn’t really get a choice when it came to doing cloth diapers. My son had a gnarly rash for TWO MONTHS and my ped recommended them so we gave it a shot and the rash was gone within a week! Your first video about cloth made the process so much less overwhelming.

[missophiedou]

I LOVE cloth diapering! It really does feel overwhelming at first with all of the info and options... but when you have a system down it's not that big a deal. I'm about to cloth diaper my 3rd baby and I'm so glad we went that route (esp. thinking of all of the savings we've made)!

Hey Shayla, thanks for pointing out that it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You’re videos encouraged me to make the switch, even though my husband wasn’t crazy about it. We used cloth diapers with our first baby. When our second baby was born we received a few packages of disposable diapers, which was very helpful for the first few weeks. Once those ran out, I broke out the cloth diapers. Now I’m using cloth at home during the day, but using disposable diapers overnight and when we’ll be away from home for a while. I’m using the shells with fleece liners over the cotton diapers, which wicks the moisture away from the skin and will catch the poop once baby starts solids. I also preassemble them, as another mom mentioned above to help make diaper changes simpler and faster. You’re so right that getting stated is the hardest part. Thanks again for helping me get over that hurdle.

We did cloth diaper in with my son most of the time, and started EC around 12 weeks old. He is now almost 2 and has been 100% toilet dependent since about 18-19 months old. High recommend these methods! Baby number 2 will be here soon, and I’m so stoked to only be diapering one baby at a time!

[selinah]

Doing the exact same thing! 80/20 cloth diapering and doing elimination communication. Thank you for validating me!

[justamags]

Love love love these videos! Thank you so much! I'm in my last trimester and have been catching a lot of gruff for having a desire to be more "granola" and a minimalist... like choosing to wear our baby instead of infant carriers, and now cloth diapers...but I think, what on earth do people think women and families did thousands of years ago?? Those badass Viking women toting their kids around! So I figure, if they can, surely I can with all of the perks of being in the 21st century! So thanks for the reassurance and the great info! It's helping my husband understand my line of thinking more! 😂

Edit: I'm a trauma nurse-- so we do have a great carseat for our baby to come. It's just not one you can remove from your car, so I'll be putting them in a wearable carrier to exit the vehicle. 😊

I’ve cloth diapered since my baby was new born, but she was the size of a three month old. Props to you Shayla, bc you warned me that at 6 months there’s no way baby is going to make it through the night in a cloth. Perfect timing, bought some disposables for the win! 😉🙌🏾 appreciate y’a mama!

[candiehouse]

Been in cloth since 3 weeks old and we are just about to hit the 9 week old mark and doing it 24/7..havent had to buy or spend any money on disposables especially now that the prices are to go up feels quite awesome

[meganmascari]

You have such a fun personality! I just found out I'm pregnant and I love your videos!

[mikaelaiwaskiw]

Started cloth diapers on my 2 month old this week! Today is the first wash day, feeling pretty confident in our system 👍

[ashleyscott]

I just LOVE your videos. They are to the point and so REAL no fake fluffy influencer feel.
