EASIEST Cloth Diapering (even your partner will approve)

How to Cloth Diaper
#clothdiaper #ClothNappy

We're taking cloth diapering very slowly. For now, we're on an 80/20 cloth diapering method (that I made up).
Basically, we do cloth diapers 80% of the time and disposable diapers 20% of the time.
She's also exclusively breastfed for now so cloth diapering is much simpler when they're just breastfeeding. Once she is introduced to solids I'll let you know what works!

Yes to elimination communication! I was not a true believer- but my wife pushed it, so I reluctantly got on board... and it is amazing. It’s the best party trick ever, people loose their minds when they see your 3 month old pee on the toilet. In the last four years we’ve convinced at least 4 of our friends to “just try it” and now I feel like a cult leader, because it’s awesome and people are like “why doesn’t everyone do this?” And I honestly don’t know. The babies are happier, it’s not that hard, I’m convinced that it helps with gas and constipation because of the position you put them in, you will save diapers (laundry- and time stuffing those damn diapers, it gets old around 2 years in), and the solids problem? We hardly had to deal with solids in cloth diapers- because she went #2 on the toilet almost exclusively! I’ve commented on you tube may be three times- but “elimination communication” is seriously easier than is seems and totally worth the learning curve.

Love the 80/20 idea. Makes cloth less intimidating, but still makes a difference. Planning to do the same thing...due any day now!

I got my ENTIRE STASH for free bc I put them on my registry

We found that at 6 months, we were experiencing more frequent leaks with cloth diapering. This was around the time when baby would roll around and be more active. I found a YouTube video that showed how to help minimize leaks, you can roll that little elastic ruffle around the legs inside the diaper, making sure it's in that leg-hip crease. Also we found Bum Genius did not fit our baby's body type (long baby, 96% length and 52% weight), so we had to switch to a mix of (used) AlvaBaby/ Nicki's Diapers/ Kawaii Baby. We rarely see leaks now! For overnights, we stuff our pocket diapers with a folded prefold + one microfiber insert for better absorbency. Final note, we chose to use reusable cloth flannels as diaper wipes; I overlap fold them like a tissue box and keep them wet in a wipes warmer. The flannels do a much more effective job with wiping, where I only need one per change. My husband and I love our cloth diapering system! He's even claimed diaper prepping (stuffing picket diapers) as his job, which he does late at night while watching YT. ☺️

After this video, I went online and found a local mom selling 50 diapers and covers, a diaper pail, wet bags, and dozens of liners for $120. 22 of the diapers were Bum Genius, so if we're just counting those 22 diapers alone, we saved over $350. Adding all the other stuff together.... Hundreds more. THANK YOU.

Hi I appreciate that you have the captions on as default. Every time I turn them off, it gives me a chance to reflect on the fact that other people have to turn ON the captions on every other YouTube video.

You can remove diaper rash cream stains by putting undiluted white vinegar on them and letting them sit for a bit before laundering. I keep vinegar in a spray bottle and pretreat them that way. Diaper cream is mineral based and vinegar breaks down minerals. (Mom of 9, Grand Mother of 11. Cloth diapering since 1991)

I’m due with my 2nd son on Monday and going to be trying cloth this time. My husbands cousin gave me all of her cloth diapers for FREE! It’s awesome. I’m excited to try

[WorldOfNicky]

😂 I love your “three strikes and your out... I’m watching that diaper closely”

You’ve been so helpful! Thank you so much ♥️

[nicoleoleksza]

I’m on my third kid- still using the same cloth diapers!!! So money saved for sure- even buying cute new prints along the way. Thank you for spreading the cloth diaper info!

[abbieunholy]

Showed this video to my husband yesterday, and now our cloth diapers get here Monday. Thank you for showing such an easy way to do this!!!

[virgochick]

I wish I had found this video before I started cloth. This is a great video for anyone considering cloth because it's not an overwhelming amount of information and it's simplified. Rather than going through ALL the info, you're telling me what I would've wanted to know about cloth diapering to determine if I wanted to do it. Now that I am doing cloth I just found myself nodding. I will say- my husband will not mess with snaps. The only way I can get him to do it is with hook n loop.

My husband is the one who is more into the cloth diapering thing. It's still intimidating for me, but I'm warming up to the idea. The 80/20 rule seems a lot more manageable for when we're not home, or baby is with grandparents.

[fifinoir]

Isn’t it something like 8 gallons of water is needed to make just one disposal diaper. Just because you don’t see that it can get forgotten. Manufacturing of anything often requires a hell of a lot of water and energy so single use will almost always be worse. Love the video. Great info.

[sibs]

We do both too! Once they’re eating solids the disposable liner catches anything that isn’t water soluble. I’ve got an 18 month old and have never needed/owned the diaper sprayer. Super easy if you go the liner route. Also, may be tougher if you use solely all in ones with the liner bc there’s more spaces for poop to get into. Work perfectly with pocket diapers

[trishawhitehead]

I find cloth diapers SO Easy as well!! We love it. A huge piece is making sure there's space for disposable when you want it. We love using cloth!

[amilianstewart]

I managed to get mine second hand, I got 80 diapers of different sizes with liners for $400. Best deal ever!

[mary-celestericks]

Wasn't brave enough with my first but tried with my 2nd. Wish I'd done it sooner! We've only needed 12 diapers, actually. I find that they start to stink if I'm not washing that frequently anyway, lol. I hang em up to dry and pre-wash I spray them with a bidet sprayer attached to the toilet. All told I think we only spent like 75-80 bucks and have been using the system for almost a year. Just in case anyone's intimidated by her cost estimate. Can totally be cheaper.
