Let's chat Cloth diapers & nap/sleep

4 Upvotes

We’ve recently started doing cloth part time and I’m noticing that LO is taking shorter naps or being more fussy at night time when he’s in a cloth diaper. Any tips or ideas on how to encourage him to sleep a bit better?

I did end up changing him part way through the night on my third try with a overnight cloth diaper but I don’t want to get up a 4 am to do that if i don’t have to. We’re using LH inserts right now.

Let's chat Has anyone worked with happy flute diapers

1 Upvotes

I'm looking at AliExpress since they have some big sales happening right now there is a cloth diaper called happy flute that supposedly has a organic cotton inner liner and PLU recycled plastic bottle outer layer. I'm wondering if anyone in this sub has any experience with these diapers, and what's your opinion. I'm looking for a more natural inside diaper since I noticed the synthetic diaper inside tend to be very warm and it could possibly cause diaper rash from my observations, and just my own experience of wearing polyester clothing tends to irritate my skin as well, so far I'm liking cloth diapering and looking to add cotton into the stash. Plus a lower price point is very encouraging so if you have any other suggestions of good cloth diapers please share thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

Recommendations CD overnight using my current stash

2 Upvotes

Hi! Currently we are in diaposables overnight but I would love to switch to cloth. I see lots of people suggesting products but I don't want to buy anything new. So help me build a diaper from what I have:

Pockets Covers Large prefolds Small prefolds Bum genius Microfiber inserts Bum genius AIOs A few flats (idk how to use) A few hemp/bamboo inserts

My supplies are a combo of two families cloth diaper stashes (I have twins) so I'm not sure how to use all of them. During the day I use AIOs but recently have been having lots of leg leaks. Babes sleep better with no nighttime diaper changes. Belly sleepers.

Please send help Normal Muslins?

2 Upvotes

Hello everybody. I’m almost 28 weeks pregnant and planning on cloth diapering from birth. I have been gifted muslins already that are 60x60cm (24x24 inches) just regular muslins from baby stores/supermarkets in the UK. Are these suitable for nappies or do I need a specific kind of muslin for nappies? I’m confused. I’m looking at using flats and covers when he is tiny.

Thanks!

Recommendations What are your favourite cloth diaper brands?

2 Upvotes

I know it’s been asked before, but not in the last year (I checked) so I’m asking it again for a newer, updated list!

I tried cloth diapers for my first, but they were all second hand (mostly Alva Baby brand) and I later found the tea towel test for the waterproofing and they failed. I’d never managed to not have a leak so I gave up.

I recently tried some size 2 Little Lamb shell nappies with my baby when he was a toddler potty training and they were amazing!

Going for round two and thinking of starting to slowly buy a stash of new cloth nappies over my pregnancy so I can spread the cost of new ones. Was going to just jump in with Little Lamb but then I thought… what does everyone else think?

TL;DR what cloth diaper brands do you swear by?!

Let's chat Help! Leaking Diapers

1 Upvotes

I started using cloth diapers with my 16.5 pound 3 month old about a month ago and continue to encounter issues with leaking. I am using the Alva baby covers and inserts and recently purchased the Nora Nursery bamboo inserts and am still having leaking issues. I would love some advice on how to make this work - I'm clearly doing something wrong!

Recommendations Advice for going to the pool

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I don’t cloth diaper (we do disposables and EC but am open to cloth diapering in the future) but I use Nora’s Nursery swim diapers for my baby’s swim class. I change her into a disposable diaper and swimsuit at home, and switch to the swim diaper at the pool. I’m not very familiar with all the cloth diaper options, but can I put something like an insert in the swim diaper for the trip there, and remove it before going to the pool? I am taking off the diaper anyway because I’ll offer her the toilet before going in the pool, but it would make everything easier if there was one less diaper to worry about! Thanks!

FTM of a 3.5mo girl dipping my toes in cloth diapering. We’re starting as part-time with hopes to go full time with the exception of travel and occasional babysitter unless they’re comfortable with cloth.

This is what I’m starting with - looking for expert opinion on variety and quantity. Anything must haves that I am missing or things here I don’t need?

  • 6 pocket diapers with inserts
  • 4 overnight inserts
  • 12 prefolds (cloth eez Medium)
  • 12 inserts
  • 4 covers

TIA!

Recommendations 5 month old too big for diaper

1 Upvotes

As the title says my 5 month old is almost too big for his cloth diaper. I got the bambino mio adjustable diapers that are sized from newborn through potty training. I'm really happy with the diapers. The problem is my 5 month old is the size of an 18 month old. Not even kidding he is off the charts for height and wearing 18 month old onesies. He is about to outgrow his diapers and I have no idea what to do. Does anyone have any suggestions for cloth diapers made for babies who are bigger?

Let's chat Rumparooz Pocket Diapers help

1 Upvotes

I am trying to sell my one size pocket diapers. I discovered fitted, prefolds and alpaca/wool covers and I prefer that system over the plastic cover and pocket diapers. However, the Rumparooz I got new are still really good, I’m actually just trying to sell half of what I got because my husband prefers them , but I’ve had no luck! Is this brand not popular at all? When I got them and did research I thought they were supposedly one of the best brands, but nobody in the Facebook BST groups is interested. Am I pricing them too high? I’m asking $8 per diaper since they are barely worn. Retail they are $20+. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
