Can you add links below the video of great websites to buy cloth diapers from?

[JaimeeGleisner]

@getchormama My recommendation is to first check locally for a natural parenting store or Craig's List for used diapers. Otherwise, there are a lot of great online stores- I would never be able to recommend just a few!

@Jaimee Gleisner, i was wondering who you came about the various diapers. I am wanted to have a cloth diaper clinic on my Air Force Base, and am currently in the process of contacting all the major cloth diapering companies for a sample diaper to show!

@minterangela3 The diapers and products I demoed in the videos were either my own or borrowed from a local natural parenting store where I was teaching the seminars.

polyurethane? eek

[JaimeeGleisner]

@seonfox Yes, the water proof barrier on most premium diapers and covers is PUL (this is a step up from the old vinyl plastic pants as it is breatheable). The lining is also made of polyester in most premium diapers. If you're looking to avoid all synthetics your only choice is prefolds or fitteds (made of cotton, bamboo, or hemp) with wool covers.

@JaimeeGleisner Ok, thanks!

Thank you thank you thank you for posting these videos! This is by far the most comprehensive straightforward summary of "how to" cloth diaper that I've found. This was immensely helpful!!

Make sure you keep your old cloth prefolds for dusting when baby is done with them you will really like them

[JaimeeGleisner]

@brettwilms So happy I could help! :) Good luck!

Thank you so much for helping simplify what was previously a very complicated subject for my wife and me. We are expecting our first and have been planning to cloth diaper from the beginning, but I was admittedly intimidated by all of the options. Sitting down together to watch your video series has helped us develop a cloth diapering plan for the future :) Thank you again for creating and sharing your videos!
