Cloth Diapers, How To

Like I had said before , cloth diapering is very simple and very different from what our grandmothers use to do.  While I am no where near an expert when it comes to cloth diapering, having only done it for the last 6 weeks (and loving it) I thought I would share how I cloth diaper and the type of diaper I use. 

I use what is called a contour diaper.  It is a cotton flannel diaper with a separate diaper cover that is used for several diaperings.  The picture above is the diaper cover, it is lined with plastic to keep the wet in and everything else dry.  I have found  that these covers hold in the wet just as well, if not better than disposable diapers.  The only big blow outs I have had, so far, with the baby where when I had her in disposable diapers while out and about.

The cloth diaper is laying inside the diaper cover, ready for baby.

The big wings just wrap around the baby,

and the diaper cover snaps over the cloth diaper, no need for diaper pins.

 

This is my wet bag, it is lined with plastic, the diapers are stored in there (the top zips shut) until they are washed.

Baby, all nice and clean in her soft cloth diapers.
Love these thing!

 

This is where I purchased my diapers:

They have just about every style and system of diaper out there.

I also got my Moby Wrap there,
more on that wonderful piece of baby gear later!

  1. I love your pictures of your cloth diapers, they are beautiful! Cloth is so easy to use — we’ve been using ours for almost three years and they are just as easy now as they were in the beginning!
