Am I the only one completely confused by cloth diapers?
There are so many different diapers and so many different options.
When I contact a company to review a diaper they ask me a million questions and I have no clue what they are even saying! Most of the time I just respond back saying that I have no clue because this is all new to me and I would like for them to send either their best seller or the one that they think would be best for a first time cloth diapering Momma.
My hubby is totally freaked out by the fact. He doesn’t get it at all, and to be honest I’m pretty nervous about it too! We have been putting our 2 year old in cloth diapers when we leave the house for long trips. He is potty training and doing great, but still has accidents sometimes when we leave the house for a while. He also is having a hard time knowing when exactly to run to the potty when he has to go poo. He has had a couple of poopy accidents in the cloth diapers and I just find it to be a lot of work cleaning them out. I’m just thinking that if I am thinking it’s hard with him, what will it be like with that messy breastfed poo that is all the way up baby’s back?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not giving up! No way, not me! I haven’t even given it a try yet, so I’m definitely NOT giving up! I think I am just going to need a little advice from all of you cloth diapering Mommas. So, if you all wouldn’t mind sharing your advice with me that would be great!
I don’t have family and friends that cloth, so they don’t all quite understand.
I would love to know…
What are your favorite cloth diapers and why?
Did you start using cloth right away or did you wait a couple of weeks after baby was born?
Do you use cloth at night?
If so, which diapers do you think are best for night time?
(I actually put my 2 year old in cloth for bed b/c I don’t want to put him back into a regular diaper, however he doesn’t have accidents through the night, so I can’t really tell if the cloth I am using is soaking anything up.)
What was the best advice you have received about cloth diapering?
What is the best advice you can give a newbie cloth diapering Momma?
Ok, one more thing I am dying to know…
Does anyone know if there are any companies that make COLORED inserts?
I have received ALL white inserts and we have very hard water. In just the little bit of time that we have been using cloth on our 2 year old son (and we only use the cloth every now and then) they are already changing color and looking old. I was hoping I could get some colored inserts so it wasn’t quite so noticeable.
Thanks to all who respond!
Have a great week! 🙂
