    Also, you should buy some flat cloth diapers and use them as inserts because they dry so much faster allowing your other inserts time to dry completely. I have been cloth diapering for years!! Having flats to use has been amazing. I hang dry all my cloth diapers and inserts and the inserts can take so long to dry where as the flats are dry in an hour or so.

    That is good. I see so many new to cloth diapering mothers that do not understand you should never put microfiber against your baby's skin. Have you tried wegreeco? I like them. They wash out stains quite well and are soft. They give a choice of bamboo inserts but I just use cotton flats as inserts. Maybe do a video for new cloth diapering mothers about off brand diapers for starters and using flats as inserts? This was a fun video. I think I like the bum genius diapers best but I cannot find them anymore. Where did you buy yours?

  • @countrymama626
    @countrymama6262 жыл бұрын

    I have not. I did have a set of Mama Koala I got off Amazon but I have since destashed them and just kept my favorites. As this is my 2nd baby in cloth, I had the stash and knew what I like to add more in the same brands. I think I got most of mine off Cotton Babies in the beginning. I did buy several new off Ebay I think. I also got the Lovelace on clearance on Nicki's Diapers I believe. It took us nearly 2 years to get pregnant with our last baby so I bought diapers along while we were trying (mostly newborn, but some one size).

    Do not put microfiber directly against your children's bottom. It dries their skin out! This is proven fact!! Put a fleece liner on top. Microfiber is designed to suck up all moisture and that includes from the skin. For 12 dollars on Amazon you can buy fleece liners made for cloth diapers. These liners also help with cleaning the poop out as you just need to lift them out and rinse them off before washing them and the diapers. I like your stash and that you told people who may be new to cloth diapering that they do not need to have so many cloth diapers. So many cloth diaper KZreadrs fail to mention that.
