I agree with others for not flushing those disposable liners. I don’t use them cause my baby is 100% breast fed and it all comes out of the wash no stains. I also don’t use them cause I feel it goes against my whole point of not using any waste. I also use cloth wipes. Both cloth wipes and diapers save a metric butt ton of money. I also use the pocket cloth you use, but I use prefold angel-wing with a Snappi closure and bamboo pocket insert laid in the diaper cover. She’s gone 8 hrs no leaks. I find that way of diapering to have the least leaks cause you’re full cloth and then the shell/cover has the double gusset. I’m sure you’re past the point of needing any of that, but I found that to be the best longer timed diaper. I will also use two pocket inserts if she’s going longer than 2 hours for the pocket diapers. So far, it’s been a breeze dealing with it, and Esembly’s laundry/diaper detergent has worked.
Thanks a lot for the comments! Yes, being 100% breast fed makes things so much easier. I appreciate the tips, too, I'm expecting our next baby in November and want to keep cloth diapering, even younger!
Hi, there are special diapers for night time, they’re fully made of cotton (and hemp, for more absorbency) then you just add a waterproof cover, and you’re done. You can also add boosters if you want, so you’ll get about 10h-12h without leaks. And don’t flush the liners, even when they’re biodegrable they won’t In water. If there’s no poop you can actually pu5 them on the washing machine and reuse a few times. 😊
I strongly recommend doing a cloth diaper in the newborn stage as well Newborns need diaper change 10-12 times every 24 hours The newborn diapers are so cute as well! I just did it, and my baby is 2.5 months now I have needed booster inserts recently as the baby pees bigger amounts, especially over night
This is great Fallon! Wish I had used cloth diapers when mine were little. Maybe if I had had your videos to watch to inspire me I wouldn’t have been afraid to make the leap!!
Thank you very much for your encouraging comments, Jodi! Cloth diapers seem to be having a bit of a "moment" right now, they're coming back into vogue. Maybe your daughters-in-law will be interested!
Congratulations! Sorry for my late reply here. I have been using the homemade detergent more and more and I love it. This is the recipe I used, so simple - I got all the ingredients at my supermarket. I hope it helps! thefrugalgirls.com/2012/09/homemade-laundry-detergent-powder-big-savings.html
heyy thank you for the thorough break down! Nice video I really like your big sister energy, you feel so relatable. More mama content please, I got my first one due in 3 months so you surely have a new fan!
Adrienne, thank you so much! I'm the oldest of 3 sisters, so I guess the big sister energy comes through 😅 I also checked out your profile - so so cool. I'm also an adult convert after spending several years following new age/modern practices. God is so good. Thank you for watching and I'll definitely make some more mama content, and a bone broth video. Bone broth soups are really really good for postpartum (and anytime).
@@Ella-vated Actually if your baby is young enough to be exclusively breast fed, you can just toss them right into the washer! But I’ve found the two washes is key if your baby is into solid food.

Using toilet paper as a liner is genius. Especially when your baby is eating solids and has a predictable poop schedule, so you only need to add a liner once a day 😆
I love your calm, soothing tone. This was very informative - thanks for taking the time to show every step involved !
You're welcome, Kathryn!! I'm so glad you liked it!

Yes! No worrying about running out of diapers is turkey amazing! ❤ Getting ready to cloth diaper my 3rd babe. ☺️
I have never heard of Cloth for a Cause! that's amazing that you were able to find such an organization
They are fantastic and need more recognition!! ❤

How do you make your homemade detergent??🙈 new mama coming soon! Learning pros and cons for cloth diapers!

Don’t flush your liners! After time they build up in the septic tank and cause major issues. 😖
Thank you for the tip!

Is there anyway to get around having to double wash the diapers or is that always required?

You are a genius. Thank you. I'm going to try that!
Did you try using the paper? Did it work?
40 dolars for 20 diapers?! That's SO cheap!!!!
