Im currently 15 weeks pregnant and omg! I love your videos! You make me feel so prepared and confident to cloth diaper all my children to come! Im really wanting 4 !

You know when you’ve been cloth diapering a long time when you hit the content stage. It’s been such a relief for me this year to be DONE with the constant churning. Good enough is good enough ha.

Yes 👏🏼

We love using flats and pockets.....our favourite system! I actually find stuffing pocket diapers very therapeutic though 🙊

I switched from covers & flats to pockets & flats bcs of you! And i LOVE it so much more. My 8 month old needs 3-4 diapers a day (i change every 3-4 hours) so i stuff 3-4 every morning or just stuff on the go when i’m lazy. It really isn’t that much more work than covers and flats! I find the elastics feel softer too on the skin than covers bcs of the suede/fleece lining. Also, I line dry my flats, so they’re not soft but i don’t have to worry about how stiff it would feel against my baby’s skin when i use pockets. Now i wish mama koala would make hook and loop pocket diapers for caregivers and husbands.

Your content is always so relevant! We used mainly perfolds and covers for affordability with our first baby but I am pregnant with our second and bought a big bunch of material to make stretchy flats for this one. While I’m excited to use them I would love to have a quick easy option for other caregivers to use and this sounds perfect!!! Also hadn’t thought about the easy poop cleaning aspect of pockets. Love love love your channel!!!

GIRL YES!!! FLATTTTS! I use covers & pockets, pockets mainly for night time and covers during the day, but flats are all I use for inserts. I sort of prefer prefolds just for the newborn stage so I can do jelly roll fold with less fuss, but most of my stash is flats. I toss the microfiber inserts that come with our pockets. Flats are so easy to wash & dry, too.

I've been watching so many of your videos thank you so much for sharing! I'm currently 7 months pregnant with our first and we got lots of pocket diapers. I'm so excited to use them

That’s so weird, the same exact thing just happen with our toddler😳 puking stomach bug over daylight savings🤦🏼‍♀️ must be a common thing with the weather change and all the kids going back to school etc etc.😕

I’m anxiously waiting for your review of the Petite Crown pocket diaper!!!

I use a combination of pocket diapers and covers and all of my "flats" are simply repurposed t shirts, which I find have an amazing amount of absorbency! But I definitely agree pockets are much easier to clean after a horrible poo-splotion!!!!

I just bought my first stash and will start cloth diapering next week! I'm really excited, but so nervous with all the different rules and ways to do things. My son is 11 months old. Thank you for your channel! I enjoy how real you are, and your videos are so helpful!!

Pockets are my favorite too, but lately I’ve been really into prefolds with covers!

This makes me so excited to use my pockets. I thought I was going to love covers. But didn’t take into account that you would spend more time spraying. I will def rather spend time stuffing then spraying extra parts.

@JaysNest

I get tired of spraying and I will choose pockets over covers every day of the week before Covers. Because even with covers, if you use a fleece liner you’ll have to spray the liner, the insert/flat/Prefold, and the cover. If your baby has a lot of ploppable poop then covers aren’t that bad 😉 I just dread poop on AIOs and covers. I’m also lazy with stuffing so I just keep them in a basket until I do a speed fold Friday video lol. It’s not glamourus but it works ❤️

Love how you're wearing your baby while filming haha

I'm a pocket lover too!

You couldn't go anywhere over there without seeing a monarch and now it's a rarity to see any. It's so sad!

I really like covers! I use them regularly but I hate spraying them lol. If you have the means to grow anything this year, try growing milkweed! Find your native milkweed and plant it ❤️ Monarchs solely rely on it for survival to eat and hatch eggs on. The use of pesticides in industrial agriculture have killed off the majority of the monarchs 😔

I appreciate you. You have taught me so much! I was wondering about one size pocket diapers with the buttons. How well do these work for a newborn?

About the monarch butterflies - when I was young, my mom’s garden was filled with those butterflies in Hawaii. Now, it’s very rare to see. She gets maybe 1 once and a while. It’s so sad.

I definitely agree about the bum genius tabs! I'm really liking the stretchy tabs compared to say mama koalas tabs. I also prefer just the two snaps rather than three.. I honestly don't quite understand how they are supposed to work🤗 lol But I do have a question about one thing..(I'm sure you have talked about this somewhere, and maybe I'll go take a look after this) but I figured I'd ask any way..

I prefer all in two systems (since my baby pees way more than he poops) but I use and do grab pockets. They are nice for nighttime with the stay dry liners. Easier to teach others how to use a pocket. Also the poop is easier to spray.

Where’s the LOVE button???? Thank you for this video. I love Pockets as well!!! It’s the easiest system for me nd my husband. I want to buy some gmd prefolds as well but I’m not sure what sizes I should get. I want to be able to use them as diapers for my 3 month old and also to stuff pockets for my 3 year old.

@JaysNest

I love size small prefolds for pockets. I don’t personally use anything bigger. I just add hemp inserts if we need more absorbency. Size medium Prefold will work too. Especially for an older baby! It’s bulky though. The GMD muslin flat absorbs the same amount as a medium Prefold. And it’s a little trimmer than a medium Prefold.

hello i know you say you won’t use the bumgenius inserts that come with pocket diaper just curious what do you do with the microfiber inserts?

Thanks for all the informative videos! Are there any pocket diapers where the layer that touches the skin is cotton?

Lazy cloth diapering 😂😂 not gonna lie I've had 2 stacks of flats that I've just been folding as I need them

I absolutely love all in ones but I have to admit removing poop from them is the biggest pain in the butt. I absolutely hate it. In my opinion, though, that's one of the only downsides of AIOs. I've never had an issue with my husband or family using them. I just quickly set up the flaps how they need to be set up before I put the diaper away and there are no issues. I feel like giving a person who's unfamiliar with diapers an AIO without the flaps set the way they need to be is comparable to giving them an unstuffed pocket diaper, it's just setting them up for failure. It only takes about 15 minutes to set up all my diapers on laundry day so it really takes barely any time. I don't at all miss the hour plus I'd have to spend every 2 to 3 days putting pockets together 😂 But that's the great part of modern cloth diapering. There are so many diaper options that you can really pick whatever suits you, your baby and your lifestyle best.

Aio's have the absorbent fabric sewn in, so technically the LLB is an ai2.

@JaysNest

I saw Lil Tulips marketing it as an AIO which I thought was strange. It used to be marketed as a pocket then an AI2. Now an AIO? Strange. But I’ve seen a lot of companies do that with similar types of diapers.

My perfect pocket cloth diaper would have a tummy panel (like Texas tushies) athletic wicking Jersey, and not such a wide crotch as the Texas tushies🙈 I haven’t found the perfect one yet but for now I have some pocket diapers that work, I just think they could be improved🤷🏼‍♀️

I did the three day method (Latin American method ) very similar to other three day methods, but involves potty training at a younger age. According to the Latin American three day method, it is harder to potty train children the older they get. Being that the children are younger, there are a lot less steps. With this method, parents are encouraged to start taking steps towards potty training when your little one can walk on their own (12-18months). Signs to look for that they are physically capable: 1.can hop with both legs 2.have extended period of time with a dry diaper(45min-1 hour) 3.can remove their diaper. All of the kids in my family and extended family have been potty trained way before they reached their second birthday, with this method. Some have been potty trained by their first birthday (the ones that did EC). I’ll see if I can find a translated version and comment the link.

One of my mentors uses pockets without stuffing them and she avoids spraying by putting a disposable liner on top of the inserts (usually prefolds). Is this smart or lazy?

@JaysNest

I never could get disposable liners to work for me. I used them in 2015 and 2016. The liner would move and itd still have to spray the insert and the pocket. I bought liners again and I’ll be trying them again lol. The big issues with liners is that most aren’t actually supposed to be flushed into the toilet because it does not biodegrade very well within a short span of time. Some brands advertise their liners as disposable while others advertise them as flushable. I was watching a video about the sewer systems and it’s bad! So for me... eh. Liners are an extra cost and in the past I still had to spray the Prefold lol. We almost never get ploppable poop. But for some people it is truly a working system with no issues. So I guess you’d have to try it out to see if it works for you! ❤️

You can lay the insert ontop of the micorfleece- as long as the insert is NOT microfiber. I wouldn’t reuse the pocket diaper after 1 use though. Once the fleece gets wet I’d consider it soiled. But if you’re in a pinch then you can definitely lay down a flat or Prefold ontop of the pocket instead of stuffing it.
