Dirty cloth diapers? Where do I put them?

One of the questions I am always asked about my cloth diapers is where I put the dirty ones.  At home they go in this. My dirty diaper solution is a cheap Walmart kitchen trash can and a planet wise pail liner. 

Cloth diapering with #simbaandmama pocket diapers #giveaway

Image
It has been a week and I did it. Yep I have cloth diapered on and off for a week. I saw on and off because I have Noah in a disposable at night and whenever I have him at the gym daycare or any other baby sitter. I have really learned a lot this time around thanks to my co blogger Laura. I got a pocket diaper from a company called Simba and Mama , I just had to get the little lion cub one, its so CUTE. That is one thing I love about cloth diapers they are so freaken cute! Just like any other cloth you are going to need to wash and hang dry it 3-5 times. This helps to make sure the diaper can adsorbent as much pee with out leaks. The maternal is made o f  100% Polyester and really really soft. I have not had any leaks or blow outs using cloth diapers yet.

Pocket diapers

The most common cloth diaper style you see now are pocket diapers. They are easy to use and you can find a brand to fit any budget. But did you know there are different styles of pocket diapers? The great thing about one size pocket diapers is that they are truly multiple sizes on the same diaper. This is where we get into the different styles. You can adjust the size with snaps or the inner elastic.

A Beginner's Guide to Cloth Diapering

A Beginner's Guide to Cloth Diapering Using cloth diapers is a great way to save money and to help protect the environment.

However, cloth diapering can seem confusing and maybe even intimidating to beginners. What do all the abbreviations mean? What do you do with the inserts? How do you wash them? Here's some basic information you need to know to get started with cloth diapering so you can start taking advantage of the money savings and the environmental benefits:

Baby Babu cloth diaper review

Image
OK so I am still not great at cloth diapering but so far I am loving Baby Babu . Aiden has been really sick and so his poop has been really runny (I know TMI right lol). But I tell you this because Baby Babu has been the first cloth diaper that has held it all in! Here is a must remember for anyone who is new to cloth diapering or just got a new cloth diaper, you will need to wash the diaper a few times. This way when you put the diaper on your little on it will soak up more pee.
