She looks so much younger with her new hair 😍😍
Can you make a video “things I wish I knew before becoming a mom”? My IUI is coming up and I’m excited and nervous!
Absolutely xoxo
Claire O.R. Oh girl... the list is endless 😭😂
Channon Rose thank you SO much.
Yes, i want to know as well, what to expect that pepole dont tell you about having kids. Practical things, not emotional. ❤️
I’m not even planning on having kids, and am a teenager. Why am I watching this 😂 edit: thx for the likes.
haha! Well it's good to know a little about everything lol
Me too I just love Channons content no matter what it is!!
Me and my husband are not planning on having kids for a couple years and it is a great way to be kinda prepared.
I hope you upload more seems like you stopped uploading videos as much as you use to, please upload more videos soon 😁
Why not just cut the inserts that are a little too long for the cloth diaper ? Also maybe you can learn how to make the cloth diapers yourself that would be a cool video to watch you make them, you can use the ones you have to copy the pattern of the diapers you have, you just need any cute material for the outside part, there are videos on UA-cam that can help you learn to make them yourself it’s not hard to do just need elastic and buttons or Velcro and some cute fabric that she isn’t allergic to and just cut the inserts to fit so they are not to long for the diaper .
Only thing I would change about your washing routine as I would wash the covers first because it would give them more time to dry while the inserts are all washing
That is so smart! Thank you for mentioning that, I wish I would have thought of that sooner thank you! xoxo
i love how much you are trying to be more eco friendly
you are doing amazing channon
Courtney Braxton Aw thank you I’m trying xoxo
They're surprisingly easy to use/clean etc once you get the hang of it!
Travis Dean yess! So happy to see more people using cloth. So much easier to use/clean then you would think. We are going on 16 month in cloth!
Why don't you guys use bleach, as an extra way of sanitizing the inserts for the diapers? Is it to harsh for her skin?
@@katleelucas3854 it breaks down the diapers
@@PinknPurple20 thank you! I was just curious
@@victoriacasias7257 how many do you have for your baby just wondering how many to buy ?
Chan the dark hair looks amazing on you!! I love it. Makes your eyes pop!!
Aw thank you so much xoxo
Not a mom, but still watching this video😂❤️
Aw I love you xoxo
I think of you and your family, especially little Snow. Sometimes things go a little differently than we planned in our lives. It is a long, tough, beautiful journey regardless of your childs particular set of struggles.
I truly love you and your family, Channon.
Yes more cloth diapering videos please. I just got my first set and I’m so anxious about starting. I’m worried I’m going to screw everything up.
Kaitlin Robbins Aw yay! Which kind did you get?
I would recommend you watch Jess is Blessed, Leina’s Life and Jay’s nest - then from my own experience, I would recommend for you to get some hemp inserts to pair with any microfiber you might get with any diapers you have ordered.....hemp has been a game changer in successful cloth diapering bc we never get leaks (the leaks we’ve gotten is bc I’ve taken too long to change the night diaper after our baby wakes up or take too far too long to change him in general.....any parent with teens and all the rest of the kids’ crazy schedules will run up to 3 1/2 hrs without changing a diaper....real life situations aren’t avoidable) Oh, and a cloth diaper sprayer - not only a game changer but a life saver ☺️
Channon can you please do a 2 week update on how the no buy process is going, and how it may have affected you and travis in anyway?
Yes, absolutely! xoxo
@@ChannonRose awesome thank you for the reply xoxo 💖
Wash first cycle with cold! It helps with stains and the smell. Then second cycle with hot.
I've clothed diapered 5 kids. Always just did a rinse/wash rinse. On cold/hot/cold. I would never have enough time in the day to wash all the diapers twice, inserts and pockets plus our normal clothes. 🤣
That's been proven to be a myth regarding stains. Some fabrics especially hemp do much better with a warm prewash.
@@bunnyhatanpaa not to mention not eco friendly at all.. washing twice and using excess water and energy for the washing machine is totally counter intuitive to her whole " eco friendly , less waste" motto for the year!
MJD MJD I’m sorry but washing cloth diapers twice absolutely does not even compare to the production of disposable diapers that go to landfill and stay on the earth for thousands for years.
@@Luxqueen1 i doubt besides water truly is recyclable. But the amount of disposables in our landfill
I love the "we are doing a no buy time" that's my entire life lmao. Hopefully we will have a house in a year or two years, or less❤️
Alvas are surprisingly more durable than you would expect. Especially once you get a full stash of 35-40.I’ve been using the same set that I purchased three years ago. I’ve used them on three, soon to be four kids with minimal incident. My BumGenius pockets bit the dust long long before any of my alvas did. But the prefolds and flats as inserts instead of the traditional microfiber or bamboo inserts is literally the best advice I’ve seen. I tell everyone to throw away the inserts that come with the diapers and just use prefolds. They are so much easier to clean, and absorb so much better, and they’re natural easily renewed fibers. Pulling in the inside is totally normal just because of the type of stay dry fabric they are.
I am LOVING the hair😍
Aw thank you so much! xoxo
I’m so sorry to hear your videos are being demonetized love!! I hope you’re doing good today! I love you and your precious family! God bless you💋
Honestly I have a 5 year old son and I’m not planning another child any time soon but I’m such a fucking fan of you and your family for so many years it’s just instantaneous that I watch your videos... I wish I thought of something as eco friendly as this back then but now I have future reference! Love you!
never thought I would consider cloth diapers for my children, but after this video I plan to!
Jessica omg yay! They are actually pretty fun lol xoxo
Jessica it’s super addicting. It’s all I ever think about buying nowadays 😂
Baby Snow is so precious!!! 😍 I love watching your cute family grow! 💕
Also the rainbow arrangement of the diapers was too cute. Love you guys 🤗
Thank you for sharing Channon! Your approach was easy and simple and I love how you made a point that this is the method that’s worked for you but other people may do it differently. I desperately wanted to cloth diaper our daughter but when she was born we lived somewhere that didn’t have laundry so I couldn’t fathom it. But seeing how you’ve accomplished it now, while the journey may have been long, it is possible. Now we live somewhere with our own machines and part of me is like hmmm let’s check this out again 🥰
Irritation with the microfiber inserts is really common. Glad you figured out what works for Snow!
I don’t have kids and can’t have kids, but for some reason find this interesting😆 I used to take care of my cloth diapered brothers. We used plastic pants and diaper pins back in the 80s!
Jen Stewart, I thought about those when I first encountered cloth diapers. That’s when cloth diapering was truly used and now that lost art seems to be making a fancier comeback. Way more expensive but at least we’re making a change.
Faith Walker I’m so glad it’s coming back, for the sake of the environment. I thought I heard that it takes something like a thousand years for a disposable diaper to completely degrade.
I love how you organized by color for drying 😂something I’d do lol.
Oh I forgot to say well done you on keeping trying and not giving up. You should be an Embassador for Cloth Diapering. Keep it up well done Channon and Travis and Snow xxx
You do realize women have been cloth diapering for years and years, back in the day when regular diapers werent available? How do you think your grandparents diapered their babies? 100's of years.
@@amandareinhardt7161 Yes back in the days gone by they were terry nappies with a liner that had to be soaked and then boiled they were the strong mom's. but Diapers came in and made it a throw away society and I was just sending love to Channon for doing it because I think I would give it a go but then give in to the easiness of diapers x
Aw you’re so sweet thank you!
I just love seeing Snow as she gets bigger and grows! It warms my heart! ❤️💜
Can you do a video of first mom tips that we need to know I’m 4 months pregnant and with my first baby
Estrella Gonzalez congratulations! 😄
As a mommy who used cloth diapers on my three poops. I love em. I have read all the chemical no-nos. BUT, I used a little bleach, and raised them twice also. Then I always hung them up. Here in Northern California you always have enough sunshine. And they say that a crisp, harder diaper is so much better than drying them in a dryer. Getting the sunshine through them is so healthy. My got rashes to with disposable ones. I used Carters from Penneys, stacking two during the day and three at night. And Snow is old enough that you probably know the time of day she goes number two, so for an hour or two get some big girl panties and put them on her, little pee pee isn't gonna hurt anything and her little bottom gets some fresh air and stays dryer. Live that you hang the over pants is great. But hang a little line on your porch honey, then hang the diapers up and let them get that sunshine...
We use Alva baby and they have been through three babies so far without being replaced!
Yes !! So happy you finally figured it out for snow! I absoutly love cloth diapers and reusable wipes for my first i wanted to but didnt know where to start. So this time around i was determined to get it to work for my son! So easy and absoutly rewarding, i am obsessed with them 💙 the system i have is exactly the same as your's !
I have a tip that might help you, because you have 'all in 2' nappies you can actually just use a few shells a day and change the inserts! That way you won't have as much laundry! And you can probably get away with just washing the shells once!
You cannot reuse a soiled pocket diaper, you can with diaper covers.
I salute you Channon. I wanted to hold that bag so badly while you unzipped it with 1 hand 🤣🤣🤣
hahaha! I love you xoxo
no kids but watching lol I like that you separate them to wash even tho its a pain. you're a great mom!
I don't know if you ever knew or tried this tip but I was told by a midwife that if your cloth diaper insert was too long, you should fold the excess in the front for boys and in the back for girls ❣ you are a great mama, good job on persevering in breastfeeding and cloth diapering 😍 with going back to work both of those thomas have been very hard for me
Yes more cloth diaper videos !! We plan on cloth diapering baby #2 due in May ! This is so helpful
Abbie Storc Aw yay! Congrats on your second baby xoxo
Channon Rose thank you so much !! We already have a son so I’m super excited that this little baby is a girl !! I needed a nugget to do girl things with 😍
I loved cloth diapering my son. It was so satisfying to get them clean, then stuffed and stacked! Great job!
I’ve used Alva nappies for 2 1/2 years now and I’ve had no problem with them I recommend them it depends on how you wash them and dried
I don’t have kids but I love this video so much and I am so interested in reusable products and cloth diapers are amazing! You’re amazing!!!!!
Mom to 2 adult children, but still love this content.
We have one of those drying racks too! It’s the best thing ever. So glad the cloth diapers are working for you.
Awesome you are using cloth diapers! I use them as well! I ran into a lot of similar issues when I cloth diapered my older son. This time around I haven’t had any of those issues. I watched a lot of videos from Jays nest here on UA-cam and cloth diaper podcast! 2 very helpful and knowledgeable women here on UA-cam!
Love the dark hair! So pretty!!
My sister did cloth diapers for my nephew till he was potty trained. When she started there wasn’t a lot of articles that would help her with the process. She decided to create a fb page with information and made a booklet for the seminars she did going over important information on all stuff that has to do with cloth diapers. It helped so many people. Have fun with this process. And yes every mom that does the cloth diaper process get addicted.
You are such awesome mama! This video was so informative and seeing snow help you put the diapers away was so sweet. Such a smart girl!
I love my cloth! My son is 19 months and we've been doing it since 8 months 😊 (had to convince the husband lol) I'm about to have boy #2 and can't wait to put them on him 😍
I wish the cloth diapers worked for us😥 when I was pregnant with my 3rd baby we bought them. When she was born we were doing great with them. Till she started to get bad diaper rashes..we did everything to make them work. So we eventually ended up using the honest company diapers. So glad you figured it out for Snow. If we have another baby I'll give them another try for sure❤
this hair color really brings out ur eye color! love u channon
Aw thank you xoxo
I don't use diapers. I don't have kids. But, here I am watching this because I love Channon and could listen to her talk all-day 😂💕
This was helpful! I'm thinking of getting cloth diapers for my 9mo old granddaughter when she stays with me. I don't think her mom and dad (my son) will keep up with cloth diapers but I can do it here! They both work and lead very busy lives so I don't blame them.
Aw yay! I am so glad it was helpful for you xoxo
Your such a wonderful mother I wish I had those diaper covers when my son were little he's 30 now .
Aw thank you xoxo
And you can definitely hang the diapers the way you had them that will not compromise the elastic hanging the way you had them.
You should try putting the microfiber liner in the pocket and a flat over top to help with absorbency and leaks. Imagine brand flats are very good as well.
Oh yay, found your cloth nappy video!
This is such a raw and authentic video i love it
Make sure you keep all your prefolds when you're done with them you will love them for dusting and cleaning rags
Great video! I've always frowned at cloth diapers but your video has changed my mind. Please do more videos, especially about (ahem) runny poos as my little one is 10months and his number 2's are still not completely solid. P.s. Snow is just getting more and more gorgeous by the day xx
M GGG aw thank you that means a lot to hear that. Xoxo
We use the same cloth diapers and had the same lint issue! We found that after about a month or so of washing them separately I tried doing them together again and there was no lint! I think it's just because they were still new? We always "bulk" our second wash of the diapers with kitchen rags/towels. I find the diapers are cleaner when we bulk the load more
This is great have been enjoying your vids again
i know this is totally random but i love your videos so so much. Thank you for making videos and especially for people like me that when im having such a bad day i look foward to your videos ! you literally changed my whole mood. Thank you for that positivity chann!! ❤❤
gema soto Aw I hope your day gets better I love you. You watching my videos means a lot thank you for your support xoxo
I used Alva pocket diapers with my daughter. I used the insert mostly for night along with a prefold. I would say the rashes are caused because the diaper pulls all the moisture which dries out baby's skin. What I did was used coconut oil as a barrier cream. Worked like a charm and no more rashes.
Love the coconut oil trick! xoxo
So happy to see her with her dark hair when she uploads :).
I’d also recommend turning the bag inside out when washing it
I luv using the snap pocket cloth diapers I use to use the safety pin cloth diapers an the plastic covers I don't like those cause I have poke my daughter with the safety pin but now that I have new cloth diapers I luv them an how easy they are.
Disposable diapers take about 500 years to decompose. We should all consider using cloth diapers even just for half the day like channon does. Any step towards waste reduction is a good one
You can also do a low/no heat tumble try for the outer part of the diapers if you needed them quicker. It won't wear out the band like a high heat regular dry would do.
Cloth diapers have came a long ways!! Snows diapers are just too cute....
Marla Sturgill Aw yes! Thank you xoxo
for the ones with the little fuzzy ball things u can buy a fabric shaver on amazon for like 20$ i use it for my leggings and my aunt uses it for her baby’s cloth diapers and it makes them look brand new 🤍.
I’m not a mom and don’t plan on becoming one anytime soon but I love your personality so much that I watched the entire video anyway 😂❤️❤️
Paulina Korzyk Aw you are so sweet thank you so much xoxo
The dark hair makes you look so much younger so stunning ❤️ Alison on chapter 13 of part 2 sooooooo goooood!!!
I’m 16 with no children but you just have a way of making me watch anything
Isabela Prado omg I love you thank you xoxo
I don’t have kids but I love watching all your videos! For the first week of January I was like wth why is chanson not posting daily I thought she was doing volgmas?! Then I realized it wasn’t December lol.. also I love your laundry hack of throwing the cap inside while washing I do it all the time. Love you!!
U can dry cloth diapers in the dryer but on low to medium heat. Not high. U seem to have microfibre liners and covers so they are really hardy even with elastic. Your drying cycle might be reg or longer but just keep the heat level to medium max
why do you wash them two times ? just curious . Those machines need a lot of energy and theres alot of water waste. two times wont make it more hygenic
ελλεν V. You do a cold wash to wash the matter out of the fabric because it’s soaked all the way in the layers not only on the surfaces and then a hot wash to clean and sanitize.
It's*necessary* to do the 2-wash method on ALL cloth diapers to properly clean them. It's not about sanitizing them, it's about getting all of the waste and fecal matter out of all the layers of fabric. If you wash cloth diapers properly and bulk the load with dirty clothes (like you're supposed to!), it's not any more water than you would already be using because you're washing loads that needed washed anyway.
A. Kozak hi love! Just saw your comment and it sounds like you know way more than I do. Did you say you are supposed to wash the diapers with regular clothes as well?
@@ChannonRose hi! It depends on your machine but in most cases, yes! The diapers require friction to agitate properly and get the waste out of all their layers. I'm not sure how much additional bulk top loading machines use, but with my front-loading HE machine, the total amount of space used between the diapers + other clothes is 2/3 of the drum space. My entire cloth diaper collection didn't take up 2/3 of the drum space on its own (I had 23 diapers, mostly pockets) so I always had to bulk every load.
Some tips for bulking: don't use anything bigger than the size of a receiving blanket, otherwise it could wrap around the diapers and prevent them from getting clean. Don't put anything with zippers in with your diapers! I learned that quickly after a few unfortunate snags! And many people will say you don't need to bulk your pre-wash cycle, but you should bulk both cycles to make sure everything is good and clean. Just make sure you peel everything off the sides of the washer between cycles.
I always just washed my diapers with my baby's and my older kiddo's dirty laundry. I found that to be the most efficient method. I know of some people who get a little squeamish about washing regular clothes with their babies' diapers, so they buy bulk orders of cheap rags to use just for making sure their diaper loads are properly bulked.
If you're having trouble figuring out the bulking process for your routine, Fluff Love University might have some guidelines on their website. They also have a Facebook group that you can search through. Another cloth diaper group I really enjoy is called Cloth Diaper Wash and Care.
Cloth diapers seem so difficult to get the hang of when you're first starting out, but once you know the right routine for your machine and your baby, they're really easy I've found 🙂 best of luck on your cloth journey ❤️
I agree Channon, wash them with 2 or 3 white towels, it gives them something to hold and rub up against.
I am expecting baby number 3, a lil girl, and I am planning to use cloth diapers. I live in desert 🏜 so I don’t want to deal with rashes, and as my mom pointed out it was good enough for my grandparents to use, on both sides, plus it is cost effective and better for the environment. Hopefully all goes well. I have been watching a lot of videos.
Thank you so much. This video is so helpful .
Ive been cloth diapeing for over a year and its definitely trial and error for best diapers and washing routines inserts are a whole another story I've discovered washing inserts and diapers separate work best also I highly recommend checking out happy beehinds or green mountain diapers they are inexpensive and work great
When I dry my clothes inside (I live in an apartment) I put clothes on the drying rack and put them in front of a standing fan.
I don’t have a baby anymore but if I eventually have another I’ll definitely want to cloth diaper!
You can double up on the flats and she might not leak! I also made my own reusable wipes by going to the thrift store and buying a queen size 100% flannel flat sheet and cut up squares and sewed them together!
You should definitely give reusable wipes a go. They are such a game changer! They clean up way better than any disposable wipes I’ve ever used, plus they are so much better for baby’s skin because you only need water. You are doing such an amazing job though and I’m sure you’ll learn more tips and tricks along the way. 💗
Oh also make sure you do your first wash on cold and you second on hot. 😊
Shania Phillips yes! Definitely going to do that from now on thank you xoxo
I have used flour sack towels they are cheap and can be folded to a orb better or paired with another liner ;)
Wow Snow has so much hair!! She’s so cute💗
UA-cam Lover aw thank you xoxo
Blueberry has a bamboo cloth diaper! The lining is soft. I love grovia as well
Yes please show us how you learn and the journey
Only thing I would say is do a cold rinse then find a cycle that's hot with 2/3 hours then do another cold rinse after :)
I wanted to do cloth diapers with my first born but i ended up not doing it and now with my 2nd i kinda want to acctually do it this time but i dont really get much help so idk when i will be able to wash them and hang them up to dry and do all of that stuff but you explained it so well and you made it seeme very easy
Really love your videos, they put a smile on my face every day as cheesy as that sounds 😂❤️ And this was so helpful. I want kids in the near future and want to do things as eco friendly as possible so it's nice to learn about it all now well in advance ❤️
I just love listening to your voice and watching snow!! ♥️♥️
Cathy McKay aw thanks you so much that’s such a nice comment xoxo
I’m really thinking of cloth diapering so thank U for sharing 💗💗💗
MomLifewithKay of course good luck! Xoxo
I’m young and pregnant and I’m so glad i found this video ❤️❤️❤️
Olivia Ladd Aw congrats! Xoxo
The dark hair is everything on you, the blonde makes you look like any other woman the dark compliments your eyes love it
Darker hair makes you look younger! I like it!!
Your videos make my day ❤ i think you are the most amazing mommy to baby Snow! I wish you guys an amazing 2020 filled with love ❤
Aw thank you so much! xoxo
Because of the allergy then I think you could also be using just covers with inserts/cloth in. You don’t even need pocket diapers then. The advantage of covers is, that you can reuse them if only wet (just wipe out), if there is poop, that’s when you should replace. More cost effective and all in all less wasching needed.
we love a sustainable queen
Hair looks great and healthier!
I really want to try cloth diapers, this video is perfect! Hopefully this video will encourage me to go out a buy some for my son.
Some skin friendly natural liners can be hemp (which are hardcore for preventing leaks and usually good for overnight) bamboo and charcoal. I combine a thick hemp in the pocket and a thick overnight bamboo against her skin for overnight. Can keep her for over 13 hrs of sleep. Is too big for a newborn though.
OMG your hair just looks PERFECT 😎💕💕😍
Aw thank you so much! ooxx
Snow should be getting close to being potty trained at almost 16 months? Is she still drinking from a bottle as well?
@@bubblesHB I had all 6 of mine using the potty chair at 13 months!
Amanda Reinhardt My daughter was completely clean in the day at 13/14 months and 16 months completely through the night.
As soon as she could walk at 11 months I put her potty in the living room and kept a dolly or teddy that would pee etc. then we would clap and cheer for the doll.
I'd take the potty with me in the bathroom and put my daughter on it.
If you put in the time, they'll learn !
@@AB-rb3zu Shes been walking since she was a tad bit before 1 and shes almost 16 months now, but i just remembered she doesnt even talk so...
@@princessladytanya You are exactly right! They learn by example and thats exactly how you teach them. Makes life alot easier without diapers.
Your such an amazing mum and I lovvvvveee ur hair xxxxx
Aw thank you so much! xoo
Me and my wife are going to cloth diapers our baby girl coming soon.. we are first time moms and we are so excited to start!! I hope it works out for us
Ambrosia & Gisselle Aw yay! Congrats!
thank you!! 😍.. We actually have been watching since your videos from when you went through ivf.. and it helped us understand ivf before getting our ivf journey started !! And now it’s cloth diapering .. haha so crazy..
