Cloth bums

Hi,

My name is Krista.  I am a young mom.  I started cloth diapering my son at about 10 months old.  We spent his Christmas money on cloth because we could no longer afford disposables. 

He is now 20 months Autistic with cognative around 4-6 months, so won't be potty training for a while.  Feel free to ask about me I have used all kinds of different cloth diapers. 

 What do you have and use?

I have

a Sustainable Hemp Sandman

a mandy Mac Purple Nights

a Bubble Bubs Good Night Sleep Tight

and one other - have a blank atm

I also use naty eco disposables and empty the wet ones into the compost (great for the garden!) and avoid pooey ones by practicing Baby Pottying (elimination Communication)

Hi,

we are considering putting our 13 month old in Modern cloth cos disposables are costing a fortune.

I have no idea where to start.

What do I need where do I get it.

What would be the best brand to get?

How many do I need?

She usually goes through about 4 disposables a day.

Please help me out thanks.

Hi everyone!

As you all know I'm having twins, due in July. I'm seriously considering using cloth  for both money saving reasons and the fact that I'll be home ALOT (lol), so will have plenty of time to get the hang of them and wash etc as there will be double. I'm just after some help with what I'll need and where to get them, hopefully cheap as I'll need double quantity. I used cloth with my first child but they were just the flat terry cloth ones, then went onto disposables with my second for convenience, so I really have no idea when it comes to all these new cloth ones on the market.

hi wondering if anyone has any itti bitti mottled minkies for sale or they would consider selling in australia in a size large, they are a really good fit on my ds and i love them but cant get any more please. or any one know of any good sites that sell 2nd hand nappies in australia

 Hi everyone, was just wondering what everybody used to get the nappies white and bright? I use napisan Oxy Action and Sunlight soap for the real tough stains. I also put Dettol in the rinse cycle but lately I havent been able to get them really white. I was thinking maybe because my babies are eating a different variety of food so their no:2's are... shall we say stronger!!!  

I use alot of elbow grease but they still wont budge. What would you recommend? Any advice or stories are greatly appreciated. 

Peace Hannah

This is what happens when you put purple pants in with the nappies.....

......lilac nappies!

 

today i went to my fav baby shop its called B2K or babytokids and by accident found PEAPODS!

i was so excited they were 19.95 each with NO postage for once lol they came in a cool lil drawstring bag with a booster and i also got a bag of 5 peapod wipes for 9.95 which wasnt too bad.

i took some photos i let chloe pick the colours :)

 Hi everyone, just wanted to say, its great that cloth nappies are still around. I always have people sounding really surprised that I use them for my babies. Especially as I have been using them since my 1st born and she is 6 now. Have 4 babies all up and the last 2 are still in them. I find it less expensive then disposables and I'm a stay at home mum so my life revolves around my children so doing extra laundry is nothing to me. I have been finding it hard to find pilchers because hardly anyone uses cloth nappies anymore so they are not stocking them anywhere but Kmart. Once again, good on all of you parents who still use them for your bubs.

P.S

Love the new designs of the nappies in past posts.
