What is the best way to air dry diapers so the elastics stay good for a long time? Right now I toss them over my drying rack but I read that clipping them from one side is better?
You can totally just throw them over. You don't want it so it causes too much weight on one side.

This isn’t a post to shame parents who use disposable diapers, it isn’t to follow a trend, and it isn’t to put anyone’s choices on a pedestal. I am sharing these facts because this is something I have thought A LOT about since becoming a mama, and I feel like it isn’t being talked about enough. There’s so many reasons why folks choose disposables, whether it’s because that’s all they know, or they think it’s all they can afford, or they don’t have time for an extra load of laundry a week…there’s a million reasons, and I get that cloth diapers can seem like an overwhelming thing to take on. It’s like where do you even start? I hear you, I had the same thought myself, and I don’t judge you for your choices. I know we are all just trying to do the best for our families. But, I couldn’t feel good about the amount of trash we would be making if we used disposables, so I started doing some research, talking to other mamas, and figuring out how I could make cloth work for us. There are a ton of resources out there, from YouTube videos to Facebook groups, and it didn’t take long for me to have a decent idea of how I wanted to go about it. I bought all our diapers secondhand and spent around $250 dollars total. (How much would I have spent for two years worth of disposables??) I have enough to last me about around 6 days, so I only do an extra load of laundry per week, and it takes me around 20 minutes to assemble them all once they are clean. The ones I have are adjustable, so we’ve been using them since she was a few weeks old and will continue to use them until she learns to use the toilet. They fit comfortably, barely ever leak, don’t give rashes, save us money, aren’t terribly time consuming to take care of, and they are adorable. We love them! I sincerely cannot imagine having gone about this any other way and I feel good knowing that this was the right choice for us, and our planet. So really, this post is just to say that it’s worth thinking about if you are expecting a baby, or are planning to have another in the future. We are proof that it can be done on a budget, with a busy lifestyle. Please, just give it a thought ♡♡♡ It matters!
I used honest company diaper cream which I read is fine for cloth diapers but when I washed my diapers (and poop and smells and everything came out totally fine and they smell clean and not like cream) there are white streaks where the cream was???
Zinc oxide is the first ingredient in that one, so its definitely prone to stains, however they should wash out in subsequent washes.
First time in a cloth diaper! I’m so excited because we haven’t been able to try it yet. Even though its newborn size it’s still huge for her (according to Milovia it should fit a 2.5kg baby, and as we now, Maja is 3.6 now), a bit loose around the thighs so I hope we don’t have any leaking. I used a liner to hold up the poop, we’ll see in about 2 hours how we did ☺
A question to cloth nappy mommies: do you use any cream or lotion on the baby’s bottom with cloth nappies? Because with disposable ones I use every time but I read somewhere that the cream is bad for nappy?
Theres a lot of creams that are perfectly fine. You really just want to avoid petroleum based creams. I like to use CJ’s spritz every change. Just to keep the bum hydrated, not to create a barrier. You can see if the cream you have is on here: http://www.fluffloveuniversity.com/how-to-wash-cloth-diapers/diaper-cream-index/
Oh! and that looks like you might want to bring in the taps a little bit more. you definitely don't want a gap by the legs. Poop will come right out of that. :x
This blog completely shut down once the website came out. It's disappointing because the website is so much less personal and doesn't include all the "silly" questions people may ask.
This blog being inactive really doesn’t have anything to do with the website. Im as active as people want me to be! Ive just not gotten many questions.
However, I have been less active because I:1.) Moved to Korea. Travled. did all that stuff.2.) got pregnant while caring for a toddler in another country.3.) Moved back to the states. (FYI jet lag while pregnant with a toddler is possibly the worst thing ever.)4.) Traveld and looked for a new home for 2 months.5.) Moved into a house.6.) Gave birth to my second child.7.) Been taking care of a toddler, a infant, a house, a husband, a cat, (now also a dog), and many many house visitors. (why do so many people have to visit us here?)8.) Sometimes you just need a break...
This isn't anything I get paid to do. I don't get any compensation what so ever.
That being said, again, ASK questions. I am happy to help in anyway I can.
If I can ever get my life together, maybe ill come back into the world and try to post more. But really it’s a struggle to post to my personal page once a day.
I cant make any promises, but I can definitely try my hardest. :) Ask me questions!!! Share stories! Share deals! Talk to me!

hey if any if you want to donate cases of bottled water to residents in flint, send them to:
Triumph Church 1657 Broadway Blvd. Flint, MI 48506
omg please do, they can’t even bathe without getting rashes, let alone drink water. this hits too close to home
If you can’t afford to or don’t care to ship water, there are other ways you can help! You can donate money to the Flint Water Fund so they can purchase water or filters, or to the Flint Child Health & Development Fund to directly help kids affected by the lead. If you don’t have money, sign this petition to stop making Flint residents pay astronomical rates for unusable water. Water bills average $140 a month in Flint, and the city is trying to force them to pay, beginning with shutting off water, but since that’s not much of a punishment, I imagine they’ll end up sending people to collections for unpaid bills.
Other places to send money, water, or filters include:
Small Amounts/Money
Catholic Charities Center for Hope 517 E. Fifth Ave. Flint, MI 48503 Monday – Friday, 9am – 4pm 810-232-9950
The American Red Cross 1401 S. Grand Traverse Flint, MI 48503 Saturday and Sunday, 9am – 4pm 810-232-1401

I've got a two year old and a two month old. I've been washing every third day and would like to keep that up with a little wiggle room. Now that the littlest is fitting into OS diapers how many would you suggest in my stash?
If you're wanting to wash every 3rd day, I would shoot to have at least 8 - 10 per day, PER child, depending on the child of course. Some kids need more changing during the night, its really just whatever you prefer. But that is definitely the minimum that I would have. So thats about 24-30 per child.So for two, it would be around 48+
Best site to make an easy to understand and use cloth diaper registry?
Amazon?
Hello! So I've gotten help with my wash routine before but I just can't seem to keep it up. My son is only in diapers at night so it's not a big deal but with another on the way I just don't think it's gonna work out. So I'm thinking of switching to all flats. I have some fst and receiving blankets but I'm debating on buying some actual flats. Has anyone who's used both (Birdseye flats and fst) seen a big difference in quality?
They're definitely softer to me! anyone else?
I feel like I'm not putting my inserts in properly. Is that even possible? Like, I put my hand in with them and pull all the way to the back and they don't line up with the back or front of the diaper. Everything seems so bulky?
What kind are they? Are they laying flat in the diaper? Are you pulling it up a lot when you put them on?

I heard that diapers sitting around for a while can lose their elasticity? Is that true? Brand new diapers bought ahead of time can just do that without being used?
There is an “airflow” debate. Depending on how and where they are stored people have had problems with elastic cracking and even pul cracking while not in use. Humidity plays a huge roll in that. Some people think that air-tight containers can play apart it in as well. Its always best to store them in a cool/dry area firstly. From there its generally said to be best to have them in tote of some sort that allows for airflow. Ive used a space saver bag many of times (both long term and short) and have used the tote with airflow method. I personally haven’t noticed a difference, however all of mine have been in cool/dry areas. Also, MOST people that do experience these kind of problems, the diapers are sitting between kids and for extended periods of time.
Thank you so much for making that post all about the cloth diapers it has answered all my questions! I'm a newbie to cloth diapering.
I'm so glad it helped! 😊
Hello! So I bought lil joeys diapers and then I read that microfiber next to baby bum can cause rashes or dryness? So I'm wondering if my lil joeys are going to cause an issue because of that, but I also cant see why they would make the diapers like that if it was a real issue? Is it worth investing in really thin tiny inserts to cover the microfiber?
That is correct. No! That is most likely a microfleece lining next to the baby. No need to use a liner for that reason! :)
Dear god
here you go Pizza Hut you earned this
Help!:( I think there's mold on some of my diapers and I just washed a load and some of them still had poo on them! I rinse and spin, wash, and rinse and spin so I don't know what I did wrong, but does anyone know what to do to fix them??
Generally you need to rinse out poopy diapers before washing them. If there is excess poop on the diaper it won’t come out in the wash. Turn said diaper so that the liner is facing out when put in the washer, this allows for maximum cleaning of the diaper. Continue with normal washing.

1.) is it EBF or other poop? 2.) What kind of washer? 3.) If its NOT EBF, any banana? medicine? 4.) How long have they sat before washing? 5.) What is your normal wash routine?
EBF is water soluble and doesn’t need to be rinsed off before washing, however, many machines need more than just a rinse and spin cycle to achieve maximum cleanness. Which if you're still getting poop after the prewash, and main wash cycle, that leads me to believe that either a.) you have a agitation problem or b.) You need to use a different cycle.
Banana can resemble mold, so if you have started solids, keep that in mind.
If it is bleach, you do need to either do a bleach soak or some sort of sanitize cycle (if your washer has that option.) Followed by one hot wash and maybe some sun if the stains don't come out.

How much for 3 OS Charlie banana with 3 OS med/large and 2 OS small inserts?
I’m selling them to a lady but not sure what they are going for now
Also excuse the kids snacks all over the floor 😒😝
cloth101 help???
I would probably sell the lot for about 30-35$ typically one Charlie banana will sell for about 10-12 with both inserts included. So I think 30-35$ (to cover shipping) will be fair. :)
