The Newspaper Fold Fold the prefold into thirds again and then open the part of the prefold that will go under the baby’s bum out. Place baby on top of the prefold and pull the front of the prefold over baby. Then bring the “wings” of the prefold forward around your baby’s hips and fasten with a Snappi. I think that fastening the sides of the Snappi first works better than using the bottom

Baltic Amber is all the rage right now and I'm starting to see it everywhere. Most of them are around $20-25, but I've seen a few for a lot less. There's a catch to the low price: many of the lower cost necklaces are just glass or plastic and will do nothing to alleviate your baby's pain. The most common fakes are made of glass or plastic. They all look astonishingly similar, and the

Do you get those looks of raised eyebrows when you mention that you use cloth diapers? That look that says, “Oh wow, you do it all, don’t you?” And with that look comes this unspoken assumption that you think you’re a better mother, a better woman than the rest out there. You and I both know that’s not the case. At least I sincerely hope that you agree with me that you don’t think

Using cloth diapers has really changed my perspective on the world and the way I live. I am more aware of what I am putting in the garbage and whether or not I’m wasting something. In an effort to do a New Year’s resolution this year I have decided to take 12 steps for a greener 2012: I will keep the lights off in rooms I’m not using. When I was a little girl I was fearfully afraid of the

Coconut oil…what is it? How do you even begin to use it? I have quite a few friends who swear by using coconut oil on their skin, cooking with it and even eating it by the spoonful. Why is it so great for you? I have been wondering the same thing so I did a little research on coconut oil to educate myself and let you in on it as well. Coconut oil is made of three important acids - lauric acid,

I frequently get the question from other moms who don’t use cloth diapers, what about the poop? Actually the conversation usually goes like this – Non-CD Mom: What about the poop?!Me: Yeah? What about it?Non-CD Mom: What do you do with it?Me: I use my diaper sprayer and spray it into the toilet.Non-CD Mom: Well, then what about when you have to wash them?Me: What about washing them?Non-CD

Often when I speak to those new to cloth diapering I hear one thing come up over and over again..."I smell pee!" I think it's the most obvious thing but the least often considered when deciding to use cloth over disposables.  When you use disposables you notice and don't pay much attention to the fact that they have a sort of fragrance, sicky sweet and gross in my opinion, but a fragrance none

If you need or want to go back to work while your child is still in diapers, then the diapering aspect of his care probably isn't highest on your priorities. You're looking for a daycare where your child will be happy, comfortable, and well cared for, a place where you can leave him without worrying. And even if you've been using cloth full-time at home, switching to disposables during the day is

As I was rinsing out my daughter’s dirty diaper with a diaper sprayer I got to thinking, I wonder what kind of diaper Rachel from FRIENDS would use? Then I thought, a hybrid diaper for sure! That led me to start thinking of the kind of cloth diaper Phoebe and Monica would use.

Here’s a peek into my diaper bag to help you with yours.First you’ll want to presoak your cloth wipes with your wipes’ solution so that you can put them in your traveling case. I make my wipes’ solution in a clean bowl, soak the wipes and then put the solution back in my spray bottle so that I don’t waste

So you like the idea of cloth diapers, but you don't have a washing machine. You live in a tiny apartment, and the closest laundromat is six blocks away and costs $4 per load. Are cloth diapers an option for you? Or are you stuck with spending $60 a month on disposables that will fill the landfill for the next 100 years? Never fear, apartment-dweller: you, too, can use cloth diapers. After

Cloth diapering has it's ups and downs and for whatever reasons we all seem to have experienced funky diaper odor at one point or another. One thing I never thought I'd try, because it was such an old school method, was the wet pail method for storing your dirty diapers until laundry day. Now, one thing you should know is that over soaking your cloth diapers is not recommended by most

Guest Post by Amanda Traveling with cloth... A couple weeks ago I went on a trip with just myself and the kids. I’ve never traveled alone with all 3 kids before so I was a little nervous, but we were going to visit my family so I knew I would have help. I think one of the hardest parts about traveling with kids is getting everything packed and not forgetting something important. First I packed

Something most families, especially those new to cloth diapering, never think of is that it's great to have extra inserts on hand...besides the ones that your diapers come with.  The problem is that it's not that obvious.  Each modern pocket diaper usually comes with one, usually two inserts, which is all you need to use that diaper. So what's the big deal?  Just as your cloth diapers experience

OK, there's not really anything called cloth diaper immunity, but sometimes it seems like your diapers can build one. What am I referring to?  Well I'm talking about the fact that families always seem to be in need of changing their cloth diaper washing routine.  Just when you think you've got your routine down pat, next thing you know that infamous cloth diaper odor rears it's ugly head leaving
