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.
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.
Liners can be a great addition to any cloth diapering routine. Cloth diaper liners are liners that are designed to lay on top of the diaper closest to baby's skin to catch solid poop. They are meant to make it easier to dispose of the solid poop and therefore make it easier to wash the diapers.
Disposable wipes may appear convenient, but they can lead to numerous issues, such as cost, environmental harm or even health risks for your baby. Why not consider reusable cloth wipes? You buy a stack once and reuse them though the entire cloth diapering season, and even after that.
Yay! Your daycare is on board with cloth diapering. Now you want to find out how to make it as successful as possible.
Everything absorbent can be used as a diaper. Cotton flannel receiving blankets, muslin burp cloths, large cotton T-shirts. Paired with a PUL cover or wool pants and voila! You have a diaper.
