Cloth Diapering 101

Just wanted to let everyone know that I have written a new article on cloth diapering. If you have ever entertained the idea of cloth diapering or are just wondering what it is all about, please visit our Cloth Diapering 101 article. To someone who has already taken the cloth diapering challenge, it will be old news to you, but to someone just starting out...I am hoping it is a goldmine of information.

Feel free to sound off in our comments section on cloth diapering. What is your favorite kind of cloth diaper? Where have you gotten the best deals? (No advertisements please- just personal experiences!)

If you are a cloth diapering distributor and would like to be listed in our Cloth Diapering Resources links, please send a $15 PayPal payment to advertise@momadvice.com with a name & link to your company. We would be happy to include you as a resource for the moms who visit our site!

"Great article. I used disposable with my first also and now we are on the third one in cloth. (right now we have two in cloth!) The diapers have held up great for the most part.

I recently purchased some snap covers from Mother-ease. I really like them. They are less expensive than some other brands and seem to be equal quality. I like the snaps better than velcro also.

One other tip a downy ball of vinegar in the washer helps to cut the smell down and rinse the diapers cleaner. And I agree hang those diapers on the line. The sun is the best stain remover and also takes out any lingering smell."

"I really like your article. I am using Kushies AIO with our son and love the fit and absorbancy, but we have one MAJOR problem. They smell fresh and clean after the wash but once our son wets once, the smell of ammonia comes out very strong. Any advice? (We already put a bit of vinegar in the final rinse and our using very little detergent.)"

"Amy- Have you tried adding baking soda to your wash. I would add 1/2-1 cup of baking soda to my wash (depending on the load size) and that really seemed to help with the smell. Is your little one getting plenty of fluids during the day? That can sometimes be a contributor to a strong urine smell?

I hope that helps!"
