Newborn Cloth Diapers
My bestie Janelle (or in “Borbie” terms “Nelle”) asked what kind of diapering we would do until Jaeda was big enough to fit into our Smartipants. I was seriously considering buying some newborn cloth diapers, since we’re pretty sure we’ll need them again…someday (don’t get too excited just yet; give us some time, people!). Well, ...
Cloth diapering: Update
Remember back when I did a little mini-series on cloth diapering? Well, we’ve past the one-year mark of using our cloth diapers, so I thought I’d post a little update. SIZE We’re on the largest diaper setting now, which should last until he’s potty trained! Back when we started, we had the diaper snapped all the ...
Eating and pounding and visiting and more!
Corban is learning to feed himself with silverware. Corban loooves bath time. Isn’t he cute?? We’re still going strong with the cloth diapering. When we had the flu (out both ends), that was no fun. But still. It’s been worth it! Look at that little belly bulging out. We visited with Jeff & Deborah at ...
Cloth Diaper 411: Q & A
Q: Is it difficult to cloth diaper? A: This is where a husband’s opinion is valuable–because if he’s not on board with you, you’re gonna be stuck changing all the diapers!

Cloth Diaper 411: Maintenance
Washing At first with my 27, I washed 15-16 of them every other day at most (and that kept me with several in my drawer). Now I do a load about every 3 days (Corban finally quit pooping every hour). I was also afraid of the time involved in laundering these diapers. Here’s a breakdown ...
Cloth Diaper 411: Smartipants
There are a number of things I like about Smartipants cloth diapers. + Like I mentioned yesterday, they are a one-size-fits-all diaper (7-35lbs, per their website). We started Corban in them when he (finally) hit 8lbs. While I’m curious how potty training works with cloth diapers, he’ll fit them until he’s potty trained! + I ...
Cloth Diaper 411: Getting Started
Q: How many cloth diapers should you buy? A: We have 27 cloth diapers. A lot of my research said 36 is a good number to shoot for as far as laundry issues are concerned (that’ll be part of Wednesday’s topic), but my drawer where I keep them could probably only hold 30 max. Q: ...
Cloth Diaper 411 Week
After writing this post, I’ve been asked by numerous people to give more details about cloth diapering, so I thought I’d do some more posts about it–this time with a few more details. In fact, I’ve been asked so many questions that I could either bombard you with a textbook post or break it up ...
Cloth Wipes
When we decided to go the cloth diaper route, we thought we’d throw in cloth wipes for fun. (?) I mean, I’m doing diaper laundry as it is, so why not! We got these wipes from our registry at Babies R Us. Had we read the reviews (it’s just cloth, people, what could go wrong??), ...
