Beautifully detailed video with not a second of wasted time. Thank you so much for your patience in explaining your process. I'm a first time expecting mother and waste disposal is a real hindrance where I live, so I've been researching a lot of cloth diapering. This video is by far the best I've come across ! Thank you once again
I don't have any kids, but this video is adorable. My niece's cousin is doing this and I think it adorable. Cute video. Learning everyday. Thank you. Erin Payne, you're a good mama. Your baby and cat are just too cute. Beautiful family. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video! My baby has sensitive skin so I cloth diaper and make my detergent but the smell wouldn’t come out the diapers. I bought this detergent you use and the diapers I’ve been rewashing over and over came out without a smell👏🏾👏🏾Thank you. Saved my sanity lol 😂 ❤
@@tarrahrogers9419that’s not true at all they don’t work because they are layering on a layer of soap scum. Bar soap isn’t made for washing machines they need vigorous agitation like back in the days when they used scrub boards. The home made detergent leave behind that scum leading to buildup and residue and it ruins the machines. The complete opposite of stripping.
I love the idea to store them loose in the basket like that. Cloth diapering my 4th kid and shaking my head at wasting precious drawer space for the last 10 years!
This is an excellent video, but I do want to let you know that you are getting no extra benefit by using more than half a cup of detergent. People underestimate just how powerful the cleaning agents are and using too much detergent can actually cause issues for your washer if it is unable to fully rinse the detergent. You can end up with build up on the inside of your machine's equipment.
Thanks for sharing your process, this is helpful! Do you typically pre-adjust the riser snaps before inserting the liners, or after you insert the liners?
Being pregnant with my first baby, I'm trying to prepare as much as I can. I personally use reusable period pads (btw looove those) and thought, why don't I try out cloth diapers? I'm planning on having disposable just in case, of course. But with that said... thank you for showing the ins and outs about it!💜
I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of reusable pads before I started researching cloth diapers. I’m 30, grew up near a fairly “crunchy” city and nah. I’m definitely going to look into it, cause I heard that those popular menstrual underwear were made with some questionable materials/chemicals which made me stick with disposables (knowing that those have the same bad ingredients but at least weren’t going to cost me a big lump sum.) Do you just wear bigger underwear during that time of the month, to accompany the thick pad? And carry around a wet bag like you will for the diapers? Being pregnant has already had me switch to looser garments and since I was buying looser stuff, I figured it was a good opportunity to get only natural fibers (cotton, linen, soon I’ll be getting some wool) and now considering the probably bulky reusable pads, I’m gonna be wearing dresses and overalls for the rest of my life lol
@@An0nAm0nda for reusable pads, I just use the same underwear as I did with disposable. There's ones on Amazon that have a snap button and it surprisingly stays put. The ones I have came with a wet bag so that was helpful. They were kinda bulky, and I love me my dresses so I would wear tighter shorts over to help compress it down and make it less noticable. I used to use the bulky disposable pads anyways since I've got quite a heavy flow, so I was already used to dealing with the bulk. I haven't had my baby yet, and I'm needing bigger underwear too haha I'm sure it'll be just fine to have big underwear with the pads. Especially because they're good at staying in place
This is such a helpful video! I’m curious though about stains on the inserts. Though my baby is exclusively breastfed and my first cycle is on cold water I’m still having issues with stains.. do you have any thoughts on this?
Ive been told hemp is much better for absorbing liquid than cotton do you find this to be the case? Also how many do you have total? Im not sure how many to get to start?
What do you do when you’re out though and baby poops? This is my biggest concern, I don’t want to have a poopy cloth sitting in my purse for hours, or multiple! I would love to be able to use cloth but we travel so much and plan to travel with the baby so this is the biggest problem I are going forward, it just doesn’t seem feasible for us 😕
If you watch our “How we cloth diaper video” you’ll see that we don’t cloth diaper 100% of the time. We use disposable diapers when we go out and for overnight. But if you have a good portable wet bag with you when you are out and about it should do well with containing the stink if you want to try cloth diapering when you go out!
Hi you two! I’m only expecting my first so this is all theoretical but after many youtube videos: A lot of cloth diaper moms use disposable liners when they’re out and about, with that you can throw away much of the bulk and then you’re only wet bagging around a pretty normal wet diaper situation. I wonder about longer-term travel, if you were to backpack with a baby and try to use cloth diapers I guess you’d just have to get very bold and efficient about hand washing in public places and hang drying as soon as you get to your landing spot. Or find a laundromat every few days. Which I pretty much did when I was solo backpacking anyway, didn’t pack much and didn’t want to be smelly. I know it all seems like such a pain in the arse but the stress I feel when I have to throw away so much trash? I think that’d give me an existential crisis. I like to keep track of a budget so I’ll know how many diapers we go through and won’t be able to help but picture them all in a landfill somewhere.
I know you asked her but I’ll give you the answer Lol, yes you need to know your water hardness to figure out how much detergent or if you need additives to the one you already use
I have not had that experience and my diapers are still going strong! How old were your diapers? I’ve read that delaminating can happen pretty quickly if it’s a bad batch.
Baby-girl's dresser is the Hemnes dresser from Ikea. I DIY’ed the rattan knobs though. I show how in this video ua-cam.com/video/6UjZDeerFUg/v-deo.html

Now this is a routine video!

Best way to wash . Finally after watching the lot of videos found perfect ❤
Thanks so much b for the straightforward explanations and showing what you actually do. Greatly appreciated!!

That's so great to hear!
Homemade detergents actually aren’t recommended because they’re stripping more than they are cleaning.

Thanks for sharing your routine! It’s so helpful.. and your video was enjoyable and informative. bless your family
Im new to cloth diapering for my twin daughters. This is so helpful to me. Thank you so much. New subbie
Hi Mommy! What do you call that bucket, where you clean the cloth diapers and inserts?
Where do you buy your cloths for you and your husband when using the bidet? Brilliant idea to wash those with the cloth diapers.
I dont even have kids but this was very interesting.
I hang the shells on the baby gates too 😅 i thought I was the only one who did that lol! Drives some ppl crazy.

Love that you don’t use a teaspoon of detergent 😍
for HE washing machines, a whole cup isn't needed
I'd hang mine up bc they dry faster !
Roughly how many diapers do you have?
Hi! Can you give me advice on how many of the nap diapers you make in total? I’m trying to get a stock pile up. My guy is a heavy wetter.
I usually have 5 or 6 ready to go!
This is such a helpful video! I’m curious though about stains on the inserts. Though my baby is exclusively breastfed and my first cycle is on cold water I’m still having issues with stains.. do you have any thoughts on this?
put them out in the sun
Ive been told hemp is much better for absorbing liquid than cotton do you find this to be the case?
Also how many do you have total? Im not sure how many to get to start?
I answer those questions and more in this video! How We Cloth Diaper (Cloth Diapering For Beginners) - ua-cam.com/video/GaJVFR4pca8/v-deo.html
@@HeyErinPayne I've just watched that, thank you 😊
hey how many amounts do you get?
What kind of changing pad do you use, and do you like it?
It’s a Keekaroo and it’s recommended by a lot of people. There are other cheaper options though!
Where is that bucket from? I couldn’t find the link
It's the Aquaus SprayMate. Sometimes it becomes out of stock and difficult to find anywhere. This may be a good alternative though: amzn.to/43KNCIe
So do I change the inner pad liner everytime she pees or poos? Or how does this go because I have no idea and I bought some and I have no idea
You change the whole diaper whenever it is soiled or feels full. Hang in there! It just takes practice.
Hello.. does your electricity bill rise washing your diaper?
Obviously but she saves money on plastic diapers which cost a ton!
How often do I change? Everytime she pees or poos in it?? How does this work please help meeee
yes, you change the entire diaper every times she pees our poop just like you would do with a regular diaper.
What do you do when you’re out though and baby poops? This is my biggest concern, I don’t want to have a poopy cloth sitting in my purse for hours, or multiple! I would love to be able to use cloth but we travel so much and plan to travel with the baby so this is the biggest problem I are going forward, it just doesn’t seem feasible for us 😕

Do you feel it’s necessary to test your water for your wash routine?
I know you asked her but I’ll give you the answer Lol, yes you need to know your water hardness to figure out how much detergent or if you need additives to the one you already use
No!
I love nappies
Do you love that diaper cream?
We do love our Grovia magic stick! It's the only thing we've ever used.
Did you diapers get delaminated from washing then on hot? I had to throw all of my bumgenius in the trash yesterday…
I have not had that experience and my diapers are still going strong! How old were your diapers? I’ve read that delaminating can happen pretty quickly if it’s a bad batch.
Where’s your dresser from? 😍
Baby-girl's dresser is the Hemnes dresser from Ikea. I DIY’ed the rattan knobs though. I show how in this video ua-cam.com/video/6UjZDeerFUg/v-deo.html
You're gonna kill your washer and fabrics using that much detergent in a load. Less is more.
It made me cringe watch you fold that clean laundry on the floor
