For those who cloth diaper

Proudmommy8789

I really find it annoying that huggies and pampers are making printed diapers. Like really they have enough chemicals in their diapers already!

angie87

What do you mean printed? Is it the characters on it?

Proudmommy8789

No the jeans and I went to kmart and saw santa diapers. Its like they are trying hard to look like cloth diapers

Bahamamama4828

they are trying hard because alot of moms are cloth diapering nowadays lol cloth diapers are so cute and fun lol (too many chemicals in disposables for my taste!)

@Bahamamama4828 I started out with huggies but I change to cloth and im so glad I did. We have saved over $80 a month. My next one will be clothed from birth. Question what can I use if she gets a rash that is cding safe?

@proudmommy8789

Coconut oil works great for diaper rash and is cloth diaper safe!

You can find a good recipe to make your own here...

But just he coconut oil on its own will work just fine!

Bahamamama4828

yes coconut oil! im glad someone has an interest in it lol all the other threads my suggestion gets ignored

Coconut oil can be found in the health food section of your grocery, or you can find it at Whole Foods, or Sunflower Market.

My husband asked our pediatrician yesterday if he sees a lot if cloth diaper babies, he said YES! ) He told us it's becoming less common to use disposables from what he's seen the past 3 years in his office.

Steph_Due_101611

So there's cloth diapers or there's diaper covers and prefolds? What's the difference?

Steph_Due_101611

Do you have to wash covers after each use if doing prefolds and covers?

Steph_Due_101611

I told my mom that i wanna try this but she doesn't think i can.

Steph_Due_101611

I was looking at cottonbabies.com but i still don't know where to start. It looks expensive to start out.

Proudmommy8789

You can also buy them used!

Proudmommy8789

And facebook has lots of cloth diaper resale pages!

Steph_Due_101611

Its just alot for us to spend at one time.
