What else do I need?
In addition to diapers, you’ll want a few accessories to make cloth diapering successful.
Cloth Safe Diaper Creams
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.
Cloth Diapers in Daycare
Yay! Your daycare is on board with cloth diapering. Now you want to find out how to make it as successful as possible.
Stinky Diapers
Clean cloth diapers should not smell of anything. Not dirty nor of detergent. They should smell clean. If your diapers have an odor after they’ve been through the wash, it might be a good idea to revisit your wash routine.
Help My Cloth Diapers Leak
Cloth diapers are known to contain blowouts much better than disposable diapers. But like all diapers, cloth diapers can leak as the baby consumes more and grows, and output increases. If cloth diapers leak, it is usually caused by the same few things, that are most of the time preventable with small fixes or adjustments.
Long Time Storage
Cloth diapers can often be used for many babies before they are done for. Sometimes they might need to get their elastics changed or a snap fixed, but if washed properly and well cared for they can often last well for multiple babies without needing much mending.
