Cloth diapers are reusable fabric diapers that can be washed and reused. The materials your diapers are made of are just as important as the style of diapers you choose. You can divide the materials into absorbent layers and the waterproof/water resistant layer.
Washing cloth diapers is often a big hindrance for people wanting to cloth diaper their child. Over complicated wash routines and poopy diapers may seem like an impossible task to take on. But it doesn’t have to be.
There comes a time when it is essential to know how to wash our laundry without electricity. In case of a power outage, when dealing with the aftermath of a natural disaster, living off grid, or when traveling full time.
Wool is amazing! It is temperature regulating, breathable, natural and a plastic free option for diapering. Cloth diapering with wool can sound intimidating at first. But with the right care diapering with wool can be simple and amazing.
Wool diapers, unlike other systems, don’t need to be washed after every use. Wool covers can go days or even weeks between washes depending on use. Although if wool gets soiled it should be washed right away.
Rashes are not as common with cloth diapers as they are with disposable diapers. But rashes do occur for some babies. Cloth diapers are more gentle on baby’s skin, but if rashes occur we do recommend using cloth diaper safe creams. Not all diaper creams are made the same and some are not safe to use with your cloth diapers.
