    Thank you so much! I'll be cloth diapering my newborn when he comes in December. I just bought some flour sack towels today from Walmart and will be buying more!! You really cant beat the price! I can have 30 fst for cheaper than a dozen flats from green mountain diapers. I am sold!

      They really are my go to choice for flat style diapers. Have you seen the wash cloths that are the same brand as the Walmart fst? They're all different colors, soft like baby wash cloths, and they're bigger so one and done..

      @@kkelley1289 no I haven’t seen them but I will get some. Want to do reusable wipes as well so I can use those🙂 Do you use prefold diapers any? Wondering if I should get some..

    Cutting flour sack towels for newborns is an incredible solution!!! Why didn't I think of doing that with them! I can buy a 10-pack and end up with 20 newborn sized diapers!!! Nice!

      That is a seriously awesome idea! I have been cloth diapering 2 babies for almost 4 years. Never thought about doing that. Game changer 😜for newborns! My first is almost potty trained except for at night and super long car trips. My second is almost 2 and is already showing interest. Hoping to have a 3rd soon. Another option for those that aren't really into cloth diapering which I am. I am actually starting to teach classes in my area. But for those that aren't can make fleece covers out of a blanket and use tshirts as another backup option in an emergency. 😊

      Yesenia Contreras the good part about the cut fst is that you can use them as boosters in your bigger diapers when baby outgrows the nb

      I didn't measure. I just cut a full size fst in quarters or cut it in half and folded it to a square

    • @kkelley1289
      @kkelley1289  5 років тому +2

      I used them on my toddler while potty training. You will just need to add a little more layers because they pee more when they're older. I pad folded another fst into the full size ones for bigger babies

    Would Flour Sack Towels work well on newborns or would they be too big/bulky?

      Alex Chesnut they are great for newborns. this video shows how to use half of a flour sack towels for a newborn. and there is a picture of my Newborn in one with a cover. they are by far my slimmest diapers.
