Trying Cloth Diapers

Hi Sis,

We finally took out and tried out our cloth diapers. I really didn’t think they would fit, they  looked so big. But, they snap up, and Evelyn’s clothing is thankfully fitting over them without trouble.

All my diapers are second hand, and I have various brands and types. With second hand cloth diapers, it is recommended to do a bleach soak. This helps kill yeast and other nasties that your baby could catch from another child. I followed the instructions from Fluff Love University here.

Then, I hung them outside to dry and sun bleach. The sun is great at taking out baby stains. (Now that I’ve been doing this for awhile I recommend laying them flat to dry, as hanging them wet can stretch your elastics)

After that, I put them on Evelyn. I am curious to see how much money we will save.  We go through about fifteen diapers a day! Little miss lets me know every time she has a slightly damp or wet diaper, she demands a dry bottom. I hope this means she will be easy to potty train. lol

Love,
