Watched your 1st video and this one and you cracked me up! What a fun lady :) Glad it is working out for you :) I'm a momma of soon to be 5 kiddo's and have been CD for awhile. Loved your videos.
@Tonysmom89 diaper companies sell travel-size wetbags -- i always just put the entire mess (diaper, wipes, and poop if present, haha) into the wet bag and take care of it when i get home. easy! or, you can just take plastic grocery bags. wetbags are washable and reusable though. :)
@elodie9 i've never CD'd a newborn, so i couldn't tell you from experience! but i've heard prefolds are the best, and that's what we plan to use with #2 due in october. :)
I cloth diapered my 3 kids with only pin on cloth diapers and rubber pants
I found they work great and didnt have any problems with them at all.
They are a cheap alternative and work great.
I would luv to see a side by side comparison of the modern cloth diapers with the older style flats or prefold cloth with the rubber/vinyl pull on pants ?
It would be very interesting to see that the older methods are just as good.
@kidstwomany yes, yes.. hopefully soon! I miss doing videos, I just haven't had the time to sit down and edit one! I plan on making many more in 2011. Thanks for asking! :)
Hey girl! Thank u very very much for the videos, but I still have a question, what exactly are the Gerber Prefold Bridseye 3-ply diapers??? Or I am slow or what. I know what's a prefold birdseye diaper, but this Gerber ones confused me with the 3-ply thing. HELP? please!
am trying to talk myself into trying cloth diapers with next baby - i also live in an apartment, so that's the only thing holding me back besides start up costs. i'm hoping you'll do another video all about washing diapers at the laundromat - how you go about it and any special tips you have in that department!
Thanks for the great websites! So what did you end up using those flat diapers for? I got a ton of them for my shower and wasn't sure if I should try to use them for diapers or just burp cloths.
If you do use a diaper pail with water in it---try a couple of drops of tea tree oil in there! Also --put a drop of lavender oil on a cotton ball in the deodorizer cover in the top of the diaper pail! Makes the diapers AND the bathroom smell fantastic! The tea tree oil also acts as a disinfectant!
@amishhorse thanks for the tips!! i would use tea tree oil because i LOVE the scent, but it always gives my son a rash. :( however, i also love lavender. mmm.
@TechsTiler there are these things called diaper sprayers that hook up to your toilet and spray out high-pressure water, and they knock the poo right off into the toilet. however, WE don't have one (yet) so yes, I have to scrape the poop into the pot with an old spatula. not fun.
Thank you!!!!!!!

Probably a stupid question, but what do you do about the mess if you have to change a diaper away from home? ie: without hamper access...

@simplicity778 i use them to clean! we don't use paper towels, so they work great for messes.

what do you do with poopy diapers? Do you have to scrape it off somehow?
