Everything you ever wanted to ask about choosing using cloth diapers - from parents who actually use them!
How *do* you choose the best cloth diapering system for you your baby? Where can you find the best cloth diapers available - for the best price? How do you fold a diaper, wash a diaper, pin a diaper?
How many do you actually need to buy where should you start looking? How often do you have to change a baby, what about diaper rash!?
What exactly *is* a "diaper cover"? What do you do when you travel? Or have to use daycare? Or have a husband that refuses to change diapers?
Been using cloth diapers for a while? What about sharing all those great cloth diapering tips, which are getting lost in our "throw-away" society!?
What is the *real* truth behind these so-called "environmental concerns"? Why "should" you choose cloth over "disposable" single-use diapers?
Every parent has to go through potty toilet training and there is never a shortage of advice from family and friends that have already gone through it.
This “ how to potty train ” advice can be counterproductive especially considering that every child is different and will develop at different stages in their life. At around 2 to 3 years of age your child will probably become more aware of their bowel movements, but remember this age bracket is not set in stone.

I have been using Bum Genius 3.0 one size diapers on my son since he was 4 weeks old and he is now almost 13 months old. I have 24 of these and LOVE them. I only used disposable diapers on my daughter (who is now 4) and she got diaper rash all the time. Plus in disposables she had diaper "blow-outs" all the time. I rarely if ever have diaper leakage with these. I love all the colors and they wash up well as long as you follow the manufacturer's recommendations on washing. I use Tide Free... Read Full Story

It does a good job keeping the odors out. I don't like it because every time you step on the foot pedal to put a dirty diaper in, it releases the odor. I use diaper pail bags. I empty it almost every day. Sometimes I take it out in the morning. Because the lid is open the smell will escape and makes the room smell. When the lid is closed there is no odor.Get more detail about Safety 1st Simple Step Diaper Pail.

Up to now, nappies, adult incontinence and feminine hygiene products (AHPS) have been one of the few remaining household items that got straight to landfill or incineration facilitites. AHPs do not belong in landfills. They take 500 years to decompose, they contain human waste and we can salvage the raw materials. The use of disposable nappies has increased over the past 20 years as a result of their convenience. A baby will use 6,000 disposable nappies before being potty trained at an... Read Full Story
Cloth diapers fell out of favor for a few decades after disposable diapers hit the market, but in the last several years they are quickly gaining popularity again. There are many reasons that today’s moms love cloth diapers, and with new styles and a better fit, there isn’t any reason to not use them. In fact, cloth diapers can be just as convenient, and are often more comfortable than the disposables.
One of the most obvious reasons to consider cloth diapers is their cost. You can save... Read Full Story
There are many reasons to use cotton-training pants when it is time for your child to graduate from diapers, but perhaps the most obvious reason is that it is easier to potty train with cotton training pants. While some parents choose today’s pull-up training pants that are made by disposable diaper manufacturers, they are often frustrated because it seems to take far to long for their child to move on to being potty trained and no longer needing trainers.
The problem with disposable... Read Full Story
Pre-fold diapers are by far the most economical type of diaper on the market. By using these simple but absorbent cloth diapers, you can save a substantial amount of money while putting soft, natural cotton or hemp next to your baby’s skin. Some people are wary of using pre-fold diapers because they seem complicated or messy, but today’s many diaper options mean you can use pre-fold diapers without having to worry about pinning and sizing.
Because pre-fold diapers don’t have an outer... Read Full Story
