Cloth 101: Affording Cloth Diapers
April 20, 2014 5:10 pm | by

It’s Real Diaper Week, which means we want to prove that real diapers are an real option for any family.  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 those words, 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 in the latest colors and prints. Right now. This isn’t true. What you do need to purchase is enough cloth diapers to get

Real Mom Talk: Cloth Diaper Musts
April 20, 2014 3:04 pm | by

When I started cloth diapering I wasn’t very educated on everything that I would need or the things that would make cloth diapering a little easier to do. I basically started out with diapers, inserts, and a detergent a friend recommended that I buy. Since then I’ve invested in a few cloth diapering accessories that I love and are super handy to have on hand. Here are a few of my favorites! You can find most of these at www.cottonbabies.com!  Diaper Sprayer: A diaper sprayer is a must when it comes to using cloth. It is easy to use and

Real Mom Talk: Benefits of Cloth Diapers
April 19, 2014 10:07 am | by

Some benefits of cloth diapering are obvious while others really aren’t. In the spirit of Real Diaper Week, let’s talk about them! Saving Money. This one is pretty obvious, especially if you have used disposables in the past. Let’s say you buy 2 boxes of name brand disposables once a month. For 2 ½ years, you would spend $2,100 on diapers alone. Want to add in the cost of wipes? You’re now looking at $3,000. This total also includes only one child!! By purchasing cloth diapers and wipes, you can save over $2,000 and use them for multiple children. How

Thursday Giveaway: Cloth Diapers Make a Difference
April 9, 2014 8:49 pm | by

Using cloth diapers is easy. But sometimes, it can be difficult to convince others to feel the same. When it comes to persuading people to WANT to use cloth diapers, what is the biggest challenge? Is it the poop? Is it the misconception that cloth diaper systems haven’t evolved over the last 20 years? Is it the thought of endless laundry? The upfront cost? Whatever it may be, the reality is that modern cloth diaper systems like bumGenius are just as user friendly as disposables and also provide a ton of benefits. Real Diaper Week begins April 19 and we want

Cloth 101: Removing Stains from Cloth Diapers Naturally
April 6, 2014 4:01 pm | by
Prepping Cloth Diapers

  Stains are a part of cloth diapering and now that spring is officially here, it’s a great time to remove them — naturally. Sunning your diapers is an easy way to clean and rid stains from your cloth diapers. This method provides excellent results, doesn’t contain harmful chemicals, and it’s FREE. The UV rays in sunlight can also kill some bacteria, but to remove yeast, we recommend using bleach. To sun your diapers, all you need to do is hang your clean, wet bumGenius, Flips, or Econobums on a clothesline for a couple of hours on a nice, bright day. If you
