Help! My toddler (20 months), who I'm not sure is ready to potty train has a new habit and it's driving me crazy! Let me set the scene: It's bath time, one of his favorite parts of the day. He gets in the bath and plays, sometimes standing up and squeezing his muscles "down there" to force himself to pee. He thinks it's hysterical! When he gets out of the bath, I wrap him in a towel. Sometimes

Making the switch to cloth wipes is easy and worth it! You'll save money and realize how much better cloth wipes do at cleaning up than disposable wipes. One cloth wipe can easily do the job of 3 disposable wipes! Just throw them in the diaper pail and wash with your diapers. There are different ways to use cloth wipes and it is up to you which system works best for your family. Spray Bottle

One of the most frustrating problems with cloth diapering can be leaks! I remember in my early cloth diapering days, I wished a "Cloth Diaper Fairy" could come to my house and help me troubleshoot my leaking diapers! Well, have no fear, the Cloth Diaper Fairy is here to help! Here are some common problems associated with leaking diapers and some quick fixes! If the diaper is soaked when you

What is wing droop?  Wing droop is caused by the sides of the diaper not being supported along the hips and waist. The extra fabric can droop at the hips below the waistline. This can cause gaps at the legs and frustrating leaks. Wing droop typically happens with diapers that are too large or have snaps on the front. If your baby is smaller or skinny, you may find that wing droop happens more

Prefold diapers are simple, easy to use and cost efficient. They're also great because there aren't too many choices that you have to make with them so if making decisions isn't your thing you should consider using cotton prefolds. One decision you will have to make in the prefold area, however, is whether you want to use bleached or unbleached prefolds. I've always wondered what the

Are you ready to start cloth diapering? I decided that I would use cloth diapers on my baby during my first trimester. We didn't know anyone that cloth diapered. Our friends and family thought we were crazy. So, since I had no support system and didn't know anyone with experience, I decided to research it all on my own. Cloth diapering was overwhelming to me while I was pregnant. I felt like

I've recently moved to a new house and with that comes lots of adjustments on the normal things of life while you're transitioning into that new space. For example, the installment and use of a diaper sprayer is an adjustment I had to make while living in my new house for the first few weeks. When we first moved I didn't bring the diaper sprayer over because I didn't really see it as a need

After a year and a half of cloth diapering, I've figured out a few tips and tricks to help you out! Rinse, rinse, rinse! Rinsing diapers before throwing them in the pail, especially nighttime diapers, can help keep ammonia at bay! Wash your diapers every 2-3 days. The longer they sit, the more time ammonia has time to develop. Use flushable liners when traveling. They will make cleaning off

Knickernappies carries a variety of inserts that are made with hemp! You may be wondering what all the fuss is about hemp. Hemp is... Great for heavy wetters! If you are looking for something more absorbent, you want to boost your absorbency with hemp! Breathable! Air can circulate through hemp which allows your baby's skin to breathe and can prevent diaper rash. Anti-microbial! Hemp has

Are you a cloth diaper evangelist? Do you find yourself so in love with your cloth diapers that you want to tell everyone, including strangers about the benefits of cloth diapers?

There are many options for dealing with poop and cloth diapers. If your baby is exclusively breastfed (EBF), you will find that you can just throw your soiled diapers into the diaper pail without worrying about the poop.  EBF poop is water soluble and will just wash away in the washing machine. Thankfully, it doesn't smell horrible either, so you won't be bothered while it sits in the diaper pail

You may wonder if investing the money in a diaper sprayer is worth it. As mom who has cloth diapered with and without a sprayer, I say yes! Of course, cloth diapering can be done without one. Many parents have successfully cloth diapered multiple children without access to a diaper sprayer. Sprayers do make things easier and the cost over time is minimal! So what do you do when your child is

Many diaper creams are not safe for use with cloth diapers. They contain ingredients that will leave a barrier on the fabric of your diapers. This can lead to build-up, repelling, and leaks. You'll need to strip your diapers to get the cream out and in the worst cases, this can be a lot of work. So, what do you do when you have to use a diaper cream that isn't cloth diaper safe?

I have to say that when I first started using cloth diapers I was adamant that I would not ever use prefold diapers. Why use them? My mother used them and I am not the same woman she is (although she is quite wonderful).

Why wool? Wool has a very important place in the cloth diapering industry.  For one, it's a natural fiber, perfect for those who want an alternative to synthetics.  Second, it's naturally water resistant!  How can that be? Wool is different from other hairs and/or fibers because it has a hard outer layer that overlaps creating an outer water repellant layer around the fibers core.  This water

Wolbybug, what's that you ask? Well it's a cloth diaper brand distributed by Knickernappies and named after their son Colby.
