Cloth Diaper Update  

Posted by: Jenna

It dawned on me the other day that I have no updated my blog concerning our cloth diaper experience since Greenlee was born. I've experimented with SOO many types of cloth diapers since she was born and have definitely decided on my favorites. So far, the All-In-One diapers are my favorite because there is no stuffing involved-- it's exactly like a disposable, except you wash it. They are super absorbent, so I use them primarily for naps because she can be in them for several hours and we don't have any issues with leaks. The diapers I ended up not liking I managed to sell, and used the money to buy more of the ones I like :) Here are a few pictures of Greenlee in her cloth diapers.

Grovia Organic All-In-One in "Owl" print...this is my absolute favorite diaper!

Bum Genius Elemental Organic All In One diaper
Besides the AIOs, we also use the Flip system, Fuzzibunz perfect size, and Bum Genius. I wash diapers ever 2 or 3 days, and we use disposables at night or if we are out. I may try to do cloth at night when she is older and we aren't so worried about interrupting her nights if a leak happens. Right now she has just gotten back to sleeping through the night since she was sick so I don't want to try anything that might throw her off schedule!

So far washing has been a breeze, I use Tide Original Powder and have had absolutely no issues at all. I do a cold rinse, a warm wash with detergent, and another warm rinse...then throw everything in the dryer...it's so easy!

Lately I've been entertaining the idea of purchasing a diaper sprayer since Greenlee is starting solids. But, a few friends have recommended just soaking the poopy diapers in a large bowl with detergent until I'm ready to wash. She only goes #2 once a day so I'm not sure if a diaper sprayer would be a good investment. For now I might just try the soaking idea and see how that goes.

So, that's my update on cloth...I'll update more as she grows and life changes a bit.
