All About Cloth Diapers

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 [...]

Is it really possible to buy a stash of one-sized cloth diapers and not buy another one throughout the life of the child?  Is there a cloth diaper that will withstand years of use with multiple children? Certainly the answer can be yes to both of these questions but there are limitations. When many families [...]

I remember how overwhelming it was when I first began cloth diapering. There were so many choices (and SO many more now!) and I had no idea where to start. The one thing I did know was disposable diapers are gross and I needed something else. I refused to compromise my child’s health any more [...]

BLOWOUTS!! Yes, disposable diapers contain disgusting gel crystals. Yes, disposable diapers are horrible for the environment. Yes, disposable diapers are a waste of your hard-earned money. But, honestly blowouts are THE most annoying aspect of disposable diapers. We just returned from a week long vacation at the beach – hence the long break in blog [...]

Oh boy, do I ever struggle with those moments!  They seem to always get me at Walmart.  I have a love hate relationship with Walmart. It goes something like this… I love that Walmart offers me more than groceries to fulfill my never-ending itch to shop.  I hate that Walmart offers clothes, kitchen gadgets, household [...]

When I tell people we use cloth diapers they are almost always shocked. After they make comments like “you’re so brave” or “I could never cloth diaper”, they ask me why. For my family our baby’s health was the reason we chose cloth diapering. My husband is a chiropractor and that opened the door to [...]

I love the story my pastor tells about Vince Lombardi.  After the Packers had lost 3 or 4 games in a row, Vince meets with his players in the locker room, holds up the football and says, “This is a football.” Mamas, I’m starting at the basics today.  I have been guilty of getting side-tracked [...]

Making the decision to cloth diaper is a huge accomplishment.  What seems like an obvious choice for every family often goes undiscovered by the majority of the population.  Ask most young adults any question about cloth diapers and the only response you’ll get is perhaps one that includes “rubber pants, pins, and a square cloth.”  [...]
