Huggies Diapers Overnite, Step 6, Big Pack, 44 Count Good Brand

I think they are worth it, yes. My mom told me that she had to use cloth diapers on my brother because disposables made him swell up like a balloon. They’re not as good with leaks, so she doubled up. Expense wasn’t much of an issue, because it’s not like with disposables where you have to continue purchasing them. They eventually pay for themselves.
I would say something organic would be the least likely to give your son an allergic reaction. Go to walmart.com and search for diapers – they have reusable organic ones.

I used the plain white towelling, square ‘fold yourself’ type of cloth nappies. They were fine for my kids till about 8-9 mths at which time the way you fold them meant that they didn’t absorb as much wee before you would have to change them again.
But now you can buy the washable booster things (like ladies sanitary pads) that you put in them for extra absorbency and that would mean you could use them for a lot longer

Just make your own. Use Excel if you have it on your computer and feel like going to the hassle. Otherwise, a sheet of lined paper with handwritten headings will do fine.

(And don’t get too anal about it ….)

I never did a chart, it’s more trouble than it’s worth and you can wind up obsessing over it. Doctors don’t need to know every specific detail when a baby gets sick

I bought a regular notebook and across the top of each page wrote the date then below I wrote across
time – left – right – pee – poop

I would write the time I started and how long I fed on each side and she had a poopy or pee diaper.

at the bottom of the page I would write any extra notes like pumping for anything weird.

each day I would start a new page

but after like 3weeks I stoped because it was just a waste of time

I found this….Is this what you needed?

-_-’ I have NEVER heard of a non yaoi male character being diapered…well I’ve never heard of a yaoi male character being diapered either for that matter. You might want to use a search engine to find out what other sites offer fanfictions.

Ok then…..let me try this another way…..all the info that you asked for was in MY answer of that question….so here is my answer

Here is what I used with my first

http://www.kellyscloset.com/bumGenius-30…

pros–
keeps diaper rash away
fits GREAT
easy to wash and dry (compared to some other cloth diapers)
cute as can be
no elastic touches baby
REALLY soft

cons–
a lot of work to wash, dry and put together
a little difficult to do EC with (EC=elimination communication)

Here is what I am planning to use with my next one

http://www.kellyscloset.com/Blueberry-On…

these are used with an old fashioned cloth diaper laid in it. I used my previous cloth diapers like this for a little while, but still had to do a LOT of laundry.

Pros–
no elastic touches baby
fits the same as bumGenius
cute as a bug (can we say COW print?)
even easier to wash and dry!!! (they WIPE clean!)
leg gussets to keep yuck in better
easier to do EC with as baby can tell when they are wet

cons–
I haven’t actually used them yet so I don’t know of any. I am suspecting that due to the moisture not being wicked away as effectively that diaper rash may be a little harder to keep at bay…BUT, I have NEVER let my little ones sit in urine or feces so I am not anticipating a problem!

With the first ones I bought about 24 and that was WAY too many! 12 would have done nicely! I am buying 6 diaper covers and about 40 pre-fold cloth diapers (’cause you use them for EVERYTHING!)

I did use prefolds and covers for a bit when my son was smaller. I used chinese prefolds and got them off craigslist. I’d recommend those over the gerber birdseye prefolds because they’re MUCH thicker and more absorbent. I never rinsed them immediately; I put them in a garbage pail with a lid and just emptied that into the washer. I only had about 3 covers I think, and those rarely got anything on them and when they did I’d hand wash them and hang them to dry.

prefolds come in different sizes, so you have to remember that when purchasing them. they’re the cheapest cloth diapering system though. I recommend bummis covers or thirsties covers. you can get snappis so that you don’t have to use pins to hold the diaper closed — they’re a rubber thing with a claw grippy thingy and it stretches to pull the diaper closed.

there are also several different folds you can do depending on how your child wets. my son is a heavy wetter and we did the newspaper fold I think it was called.. just google ‘folding prefold diapers’ and you’ll get a bunch of different ways.

I noticed with the prefolds my son cried as SOON as he peed. I opted to get bum genius pocket diapers that have a fleece liner so that it draws away the moisture from him and he can stay in them a bit longer. if you have that problem, you could just get fleece doublers and put them on the bottom of the diaper. I just happened to find a bunch of pocket diapers on craigslist so I just went with those instead of buying prefolds.

oh and the more you wash the prefolds, the softer they get.

and you can add baking soda to the garbage pail or to the wash if they start getting stinky.

happy cloth diapering!

I use Bumgenius one-size with pocket inserts and they are great !

No, I don’t rinse because all-in-ones often require a dry diaper-pail to preserve the elastic quality. I use biodegradable liner and flush the poo away.

When I am ready to wash, I do a rinse-spin cycle first, then I remove the inserts; waay less gross this way ! Then I do a hot-wash with a pre-wash using residue-free detergent. Since I have frontal thar uses very little water, I then do a regular cold wash with an extra-rinse using NO detergent to make sure I don’t get residue. Then either line or tuble dry.

Then I assemble the whole load (place the inserts in the pockets) and I’m good for two-three days !

My advice would be to get a couple diapers from different brands to try out for a few days. I didn’t mind prefolds, but hubby wouldn’t touch them, so we went all-in-one…

EDIT : My girl just woke up, if you have more questions feel free to e-mail me !

personally I find it repulsive

BUT

A friend of mine does it with her son. She uses goodmamas with bamboo inserts. Bamboo is a much more easily renewable resource than cotton, so you want to use it. Plus, it’s about 100 times softer.

There are tons of cloth diapering communties…chech them out

No. Its fine to use Corn Starch.

Corn starch won’t ruin anything, but it’s not all that great for diaper rash prevention and doesn’t do any good at all for treating it once the baby has it.

For us, the best ointment for both treatment and prevention was A&D Ointment. We found it even helps with skin rashes when they’re no longer babies, like prickly heat.

Our diaper service told us anything with zinc oxide is not good for the diapers so just look at the ingredients and if there’s no zinc oxide you’re good to go. I often used A&D with my older kids and it worked well for rashes.

Corn starch is perfectly safe. I use it as baby powder daily. Only rash creams containing fish oil will ruin cloth diapers. You can use it IF you put a piece of thin fleece in the diaper. I’ve been known to use one of our washcloths in a pinch. I use Triple Paste, Burt’s Bees (my fave easily available one), Dr. Smith’s and Northern Essence’s Better Butt(er) Cream. The first three are widely available at Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, etc. I’ve not had any issues with my diapers when using these products and I’ve been cloth diapering for years. I like the NE Better Butt(er) Cream for eczema, too. The Burt’s Bees is my go-to for diarrhea caused rashes. I’ve also used plain olive oil or virgin coconut oil with no issue. A little dab goes a long way, so don’t slather it on. Then, I top my cream (or oil) with corn starch. It helps the cream stay on the bottom.

BTW, I’ve never had an issue with zinc oxide (as you can tell from the products I listed above), but many rash creams that contain zinc oxide are made with fish oil. Read the ingredients.
