Me, not having kids, not pregnant, not even thinking about getting pregnant, but still finding this video fascinating!

I would just like to pop in and say THIS VIDEO is what really encouraged me to cloth diaper. I'm only a month in, with my first child but going strong. This community has been so great on YouTube and Facebook! Thank you for this video!

If you don’t want to put up with having to rinse the poo off of the diaper/liner. You can get biodegradable/disposable bamboo liners that go over the cloth. It’s nice to be able to toss any solids in the trash and just clean the diaper in the wash. Less mess.

We use prefolds and covers during the day and (super stuffed) pocket diapers at night. Been doing it for all 3 of my kids and this system really works for us! There are so many ways to do cloth diapers, I always encourage parents to give it a try, it's not as hard as it seems :)

[juliannelow]

I just use prefolds and covers. So easy just using a pad fold. Cheap and easy to clean! Also using Grovia hybrids which are also super easy!

Love love love my Nora's Nursery pocket diapers! I actually just got a new package of them delivered while I was watching this video 😂. I'm still relatively new to cloth diapering, but one thing I'd say is I don't wash my inserts separately from the shell. I do separate for drying, I line dry the water proof part for longevity of the diaper and throw the inserts into the dryer. I don't have a convenient place to hang dry outside so I have a line rigged up in my laundry room and I put a fan on the diapers and they are completely dry in two hours. But again, my son is only three months old and we've only been cloth diapering for a few weeks now so do with that what you will.

I've been subscribed to you for about two years now I think, I love all the mom content and I just realized that this is your first video I am watching with my baby on the way. Time to watch all the videos again! So I guess watching your youtube counts as research time now and not only as entertainment :D It's still entertaining though!

[kriscent]

Thank you for being quick and concise. So many of these YouTube videos drag on forever and I just want the good stuff!

Not sure if you have already heard this tip, but if not here ya go…. When we were cloth diapering we would cut fleece into the the same size as the inserts and place then on top of the pocket or insert ( the fleece would sit against the baby’s bottom.) The fleece also wicks the moisture away from baby’s skin to help keep them more comfortable until they are changed. This would stop the poop from touching the insert or pocket or all in one material and thus eliminating your need to get water all over the place when your spraying your diapers clean. Simply remove the fleece, hold over the toilet, spray clean. Put everything into hamper/ wet bag for cleaning.

I use Alvababy diapers for my little one. It's a pocket type that I'm using and they sell amazing bundles on their website. I chose the 50 diapers for $250. It was like $5 a diaper or something like that. I love them so much and they have adorable patterns. You can choose also the inserts you want to have as well (i.e. trifold if you have a big wetter, etc.).

We prefer covers with flats, prefolds, or fitteds! I like options that are easy to wash and dry. And wool covers are our absolute favorite, especially for a natural option. 💜 Heidi

Important ‼️ pocket diapers will usually come with microfiber inserts...these cannot be placed against baby's skin because it will severely dry them out, so make sure if you use a hybrid you dont purchase microfiber inserts

[ItsJess]

I use pockets and love them! So cheap on Amazon. And we just keep a spray bottle and flannel wipes to clean. If we needed to, we have disposable wipes we could use and throw in the trash. We also do disposables overnight. Thanks for being so thorough but also brief! You strike that balance very well! 😁

[HeatherHogue]

Thanks for the infomercial 😉! I’ve been overwhelmed, but you helped me narrow it down.

[christinacarter]

I hate all diapers so much, it's definitely our motivation to use Elimination Communication. Our oldest was potty trained by the time she could walk! It was just easier for me and also empowered our little one

[ErikKruse]

Soon-to-be Dad here, also in MN and planning to use Do Good Diapers service to take care of the washing part, as I feel it'll just be more efficient than we would be as far as water use, not to mention time saved in the process. I'm so glad to have found your channel to get an overview of the different types of cloth diapers, as the service also offers options and I'm hoping to narrow it down before our little guy comes in November! THANK YOU for this video and for your content, which I will be combing through soon!

[dianalauramurillo]

Thank you so much for the info! I was so lost… I went inside some websites and I saw “All in one” “pockets” and I was like “what is this!?!? 🥴” but your explanation helped me so much. 🙌🏻 thank you thank you 💕

Great video! I use all of the styles you mentioned, lol, for different situations! I use pockets mainly at home. Then I use all in ones in the diaper bag or downstairs because it’s easier to just carry a bunch of all in ones downstairs instead of all of the stuffing options for pockets. There are so many options of inserts/prefolds /flats/boosters you can stuff into pockets, it’s both annoying and awesome. I started with cotton babies econobum shells and pad folded prefolds 14 years ago with my daughter! Some of those covers and prefolds are still usable after 7 kids, for my 5 month old! It is crazy! I also love love those flip diapers covers you mentioned. I used those mainly with my twins and you can pad fold and stuff basically anything in them too. The liners are eh, ok. Poo always leaked over the edges onto everything inside the diaper anyways (cover, insert, liner) so it’s just another thing to wash. But if your baby is sensitive to wetness, then cut up a fleece blanket into homemade liners and it works great to keep rashes away. Idk where I’m going with all of this but, I really enjoyed your description, thank you!

Baby girl is now 2 weeks old and I'm sooo excited to switch to cloth but so overwhelmed at the same time. Thank you sooo much for this video 🥰

Flats and fitted are my favorites! Easiest to wash, most cost effective to dry, and they fit both of my babies, my 10 month old and my 26 month old all fit the same diapers👌😊 we use pocket diapers for nighttime diapers because they feel drier for babes. So my kids stay asleep through the night because its more comfortable than a cotton diaper is when wet. Micro fleece pulls the wet away from babe!😊 we cloth diaper 24/7, weve even taken them on vacations with us, but it totally doesnt have to be! 80/20 works 10/90 works do what works for your family and dont stress about it😊

Awesome video, and a great one to send people who ask us about ours!
