Organic Baby Registry-What you need to cloth diaper

07.15.10

by deserea g.

Now that you have some of the cloth diapering jargon essentials down, lets talk about what you will need.

If you do decide to go with prefolds, you will need about two dozen prefolds to start.  This will allow you to get by for a couple of days without having to wash.  Newborns go through a lot of diapers in their first few weeks of life, so you want to be prepared.  You will also need either snappis, or diaper pins.  We recommend having a least one to two packs of snappis and about one to two packs of pins readily available when using prefolds.  You also need a cover.  We have many different types, sizes, colors and prints of diaper covers on our site, so have fun shopping.  If you decide on all-in-ones you only need the diaper itself.  We have great diapers for you to choose from on the site as well.  Fitted diapers are a great choice as well and if you go with fitteds you will possibly need a snappi, or set of diaper pins.  You will also need a diaper cover of your choice, as stated before these do require a coverPocket diapers are a favorite for people that like to add or take away layers of absorbency.  With these diapers you will need a certain amount of doublers/liners to add to the “pocket” for absorbency.

Besides the diapers themselves you will also need some much needed accessories that will make cloth diapering a breeze.  We recommend having a wetbag, as well as pail liners to store those wet and stinky diapers between washes.  A wetbag is a bag that is made up of an inner layer of PUL, like the pocket and all-in-one diapers mentioned above.  These are a must and are highly recommended.  Pail liners you can use in a diaper pail.  When it comes to laundering your cloth you will need to be careful with what you use.  There are many different “cloth diaper friendly” laundry detergents and soaps that should only be used on cloth.  We have several “cloth diaper friendly” laundry products on our site as well.  You will also need to use a “cloth friendly” diaper rash cream as well.  One of our favorite earth friendly products to use while using cloth are cloth wipesCloth wipes are so soft for babies delicate skin and can be used in your favorite wipes warmer with any cloth wipes solution.

Today’s blog entry has 2 wonderful prizes! 1 Thirsties Blackbird Duo Diaper in Size 1 and a Thirsties Duo Cover in Size 1 both mango colored.

  11. Jackie says on :

    We cloth diaper because disposable diapers just didn’t feel right. Every week when my first was a baby, we’d take out the giant bag of stinky diapers we felt a little bit dirty. We switched to cloth 3 years ago and haven’t looked back.

    I cloth diaper my baby for the cost factor- it’s so inexpensive to just buy some prefolds and covers, even if you buy sized covers or wool!

    I use cloth because it is the best for both my babe and the earth.

  58. Natalie Thompson says on :

    We started using cloth diapers because my husband lost his job in February and has only found part time work since then. In order to help make ends meet I decided we would use cloth on our newest baby. (born in may) Since then I have fallen in love with cloth diapering! I thought it would be a hassle but it’s not at all. Plus, my oldest son (he’s 18 months old) was constantly waking up wet during the night in his pampers or huggies. Since wearing cloth (I double layer at night) he hasn’t woken up wet once. It’s amazing!

  59. Laura D says on :

    I want to use cloth diapers to save some money–plus they are so cute and I believe will be safer for my little one coming.

    We use cloth diapers because of financial reasons. I even make some of our own diapers! Would love to win this!

  181. Kim says on :

    We switched to cloth just recently (at 8 months) because we couldn’t stand throwing away all that money on disposables. Plus, we’re starting to plan for baby #2, and this allows us to get used to cloth diapering on our active older baby and start up a stash to use when we do have #2!

  182. Sarah H. says on :

    I want to spend the twenty bucks a week I was spending on disposable diapers and wipes on groceries instead!

  183. Sarah J says on :

    I was planning on using cloth at least part-time to save money and because it was better for baby and environment. When my son ended up having horrible reactions to the chemicals in the sposies, we quickly became 100% cloth. With baby #2 due in Dec, I refuse to even use the “complimentary” diapers provided by the hospital! We are starting this one the right way from day 1. :)

  184. Jodi says on :

    We decided to use cloth on our babies primarily to save money (although the thought of saving all those diapers from the landfills was a huge benefit in our minds). I’ve since discovered that cloth diapers are fashionable and fun!

    started using cloth diapers 4 months ago, one to save $$ and to make sure that good things were touching our sons bottom. We have since added about 20 cloth diaps to the stash and if I had a $1000 I would buy every brand out there to try them. So many different makers!

  251. A.W. says on :

    We started because we needed to cut costs! My husband was ill last year & unable to work for about 6 months & we had 3 in dipes, so we got some cloth dipes off ebay & started. I have always wanted to CD for the environment, but was so overwhelmed by the choices (& prices)!

  252. Casey says on :

    My primary reason I began using cloth is because I believe it to be gentler on the environment and gentler on my child’s skin. I continue to use cloth because it is cute and fun!

    I cloth diaper my babies for multiple reasons. My original reason was for the savings moneywise, but then we realized our middle child broke out if put in a sposie. So we cloth diaper to save their butts from nasty sposies. We also cloth diaper because it’s earth friendly. Plus I also find them adorable!!

    I started using cloth diapers because they were much more economical than using disposable diapers. My friend, Annie, introduced me to cloth diapering because of her passion for providing her family with natural products. I started cloth diapering my first child and Im’ now on my third! It is now a goal of mine to continue providing my children with natural products in the spirit of my friend Annie, who has recently passed away from melanoma. She did the best she could for her three boys and her family continues in the same spirit. The least I can do is the best that I can do and I strive each day to make Annie proud. That is why I cloth diaper.

    I started using cloth because I had intended to do cloth all along . . . but due to unforseen circumstances (see the blog for the goings-on!) that didn’t happen right away, not enought time for the effort . . . we finally got to it shortly after my son’s first birthday. I hated running out of diapers, running to the store and hoping they had what I wanted in stock and that I had enough money to buy them. I hated the chemicals against my son’s skin. I hated filling the landfills with dirty diapers. Now though, we’ve been using cloth for several months and LOVE it! Wish we could have done it from the beginning. Environmental stuff aside, it’s so much easier to press a couple buttons on the washer than pack up the child and run to the store!

Of course the cute factor always plays a part. Heehee. I am also a fan of facebook and please enter us. Thank you Franklin Goose for everything you have done for many families out there.

  296. Chrissy says on :

    We initially decided to try cloth diapers when my daughter (now almost 5) was a couple months old after seeing a news story on EC that discussed how much money you’d save not to mention the environmental impact of switching to cloth. We also did some EC with her, but we started with fuzzi bunz and had her in those for a long time, then tried some prefolds and covers as she got older and we were more open to trying different styles. now I have a baby due next week and I’m hoping to try all different kinds of diapers and covers.

    After switching from disposable to cloth, I was really happy that they didn’t leak like the disposables did. My daughter was super easy when it came to learning the potty (she was in undies around 21 months) and that can partially be because of the cloth from what I’ve heard. Plus cloth just feels so much nicer and looks cuter :)
