All About Cloth Diapers

My cloth diapering story began not too long ago-kinda. It was kind of a perfect storm of events that got us going on cloth diapers. In September, I found out my husband and I were going to have another baby. It was a shock and we had been planning on waiting until he had a [...]

I’ll tell you in one word why I started cloth diapering my (now 9 year old) daughter. Money. We were broke. We were so broke we couldn’t afford to order diaper wraps or even the good prefolds online because that required a) money and b) a debit or credit card, which we didn’t have. I [...]

Why I Cloth Diaper by Britanie Myers Before I became a mom I never thought I would have a passion for diapers. The thought had never even crossed my mind but it has been nearly 9 months since my son was born and I am in LOVE with cloth diapers. I started doing some research [...]

Infertility, poverty, adoption, bleeding rashes, stubbornness, Earth lovers, haters of waste…these are the themes running through the 65 cloth diaper stories you sent me. You poured your heart out in these stories.  I could feel the heartbreak of years of trying to conceive, the agony of watching you baby suffer through months of persistent rashes [...]

You guys are amazing! Things have been crazy around my house this week… First, Sterling began potty training.  Unexpectedly, which left me feeling a little overwhelmed by his “bigness”.  Day one went as you might expect, a few successes and a few messes.  Day two was going awesome and then the stomach bug hit him.

The other day a friend of mine made a comment that made my stomach turn. I LUUUUUUUV Pampers. I don’t care how much dioxin they have in ‘em. Bold statement.  Sarcasm? Maybe.  Defense of a system she knows is bad? Most likely. Disposable diapers not labled as “unbleached” or “bleached with peroxide” contain Dioxin.  Dioxin [...]

But they certainly aren’t the only way to diaper your baby.  That’s sort of a no-brainer statement but I wasn’t always so graceful about it.  I once wrote a post about only using cloth diapers that now makes me cringe.  I used poor judgment and turned away readers I’m sure.  Not that what I said [...]

Today’s guest post is written by my blogging and in real life friend,  Grateful for Grace.  She shares her take on going back to cloth diapers. I am a cloth diapering re-vert, not exactly a convert.  I’d used them before, but I came back around.  It had been ten years and three kids since I [...]

I recently discovered a $1000 contest where the entries are a 1-3 minute video telling the viewer “why choose cloth diapers?”  Too bad I discovered it the day after the contest ended (June 1, 2010).  The contest was held by bynature.ca. Char of Cloth Now sent me her entry via the All About Cloth Diapers [...]
