Cloth 101: Can I afford to cloth diaper?
June 4, 2013 8:58 am | by

Can I afford to cloth diaper? If you can afford to purchase disposable diapers each week, then yes, you can definitely afford to cloth diaper. One of the most common things I hear from parents who are considering cloth diapers is “I can’t afford it.” But when I listen to someone say that particular phrase, all I hear is, “I can’t afford cloth diapers right now.” One of the biggest misconceptions about cloth diapers is that you need to purchase a huge stash of five dozen diapers upfront. This isn’t true. What you do need to purchase is enough cloth

Cloth diapering your little one from an early age often makes it easy to cloth diaper at night. Many infants don’t sleep through the night early on, so it’s easy to just change your little one’s diaper before a  mid-night feeding. Once they get a little older and start sleeping through the night, it an be a bit of a challenge to cloth diaper at night. If you use bumGenius 4.0 or other pocket style cloth diapers, the first solution is to add extra inserts into the pocket to increase the absorbency of your cloth diaper. A good first step

Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow earlier this month, so as the legend says, we should expect an early spring. I’m not sure about you, but I’m definitely ready for spring. However, for many of us, spring means lots of rainy days, which can be a bit challenging when drying your cloth diapers. If you read the packages of your bumGenius, Flip and Econobum cloth diapers, you’ll see that we recommend “line drying” most of your diapers. Not only is line drying environmentally friendly, it also puts less wear on your cloth diapers than a trip through the dryer. But you

If you are new to cloth diapers, chances are you’ll be discovering a lot of new jargon.  One term that is often used by cloth diapering companies is the word seconds.  Seconds are a nickname for second quality products.  You may also hear them called “factory seconds” in other industries. What is seconds quality? Generally speaking, it’s a product that doesn’t quite meet a company’s quality control standards.  What are those standards?  Well, that varies from company to company.

I’m one of those moms who looks forward with great anticipation to the time that my babies start to turn from dazed infant to interactive baby. One of those signs of increased involvement is starting solid foods. Whether you start with purees or do baby led weaning, solid foods are going to affect your cloth diaper routine. But like the small changes that make your baby’s personality shine more brightly with age, the change to solids from liquids is a positive and exciting one.

If you are just starting to research cloth diapers, chances are you have encountered the phrase “hook & loop.”  Outside of the cloth diaper industry, Hook and Loop is not a common phrase. There are a lot of other things you could associate the term with, but either way, you aren’t alone if you are wondering exactly what this means. Hook & loop is the generic term for the type of closure you might call Velcro or Aplix. Just like Kleenex and Puffs = tissues; Velcro and Aplix = hook & loop closure. Easy, right? But not exactly something you
