favorite diaper covers?
Thirsties duo wrap are awesome, but they are a two siz cover. I also really love flip covers, the stretchy tabs are great!

Milk blisters
Thank you! I'm still not sure what this is or what caused it red spot, but I'm doing warm salt water soaks and warm compresses and coconut oil or garlic oil. There is a small yellow spot in the center of the red spot, so hopefully it'…

Using Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted at Night
I ordered a few Sustainablebabyish Snapless Multi fitteds and have been using them with a wool cover over it. I'm still experimenting with how many inserts/soakers to put in without making it too bulky, but it seems to be working well so far. L…

Using Thirsties Duo Fab Fitted at Night
Finding the right nighttime diaper is so tricky! I hope it works! How do you like the Thirsties fitted so far? I've never tried it and am curious.

Coconut Oil
I've been using coconut oil and haven't had any problems with my diapers. I have been putting it on my baby everyday since he had a blister type rash on his bottom, which it helped cure and we haven't had any problems since. I love co…

Cloth Diaper Challenges
I enjoy sharing and hearing other mom's experiences too, Erin. I am so excited about this forum because I only know a couple people who CD, so this is a great place for me to learn and share my experiences. It's nice for me to have a place…

leg red marks (rash?)
I wish I had some wisdom to share on this, but I can say that I've had that (or something similar to that) with my son once or twice before. I wasn't sure it was a rash, maybe chaffing??? I always figure it's because his thighs are so…

My PayPal account is linked to my credit card....probably not a good thing considering how addicted I am to buying CDs.

Anyone else having trouble with Pockets at night?
I think I may have figured out at least part of the problem...I think it depends to a certain degree how many times he nurses throughout the night. Lately the teething has been pretty bad, so he nurses more...a lot more, and he nurses a lot at night…

Booty Buns and Go Green Champ OS cloth diapers
I have two Go Green Champs and they are great! I like how the insert snaps into the pocket and there are openings at both the front and back of the diaper for adjusting the insert. I stuff them with hemp doublers when I use them at night and they�…

Day 2 CD diaster
Poor thing! One thing that you may have around the house that I've had success with is coconut oil...very soothing and safe for cloth diapers. I haven't tried it yet, but if you are breast feeding you can put breast milk on the rash, I…

2nd Annual Flats & Handwashing Challenge!
I hear ya Amie! I got some Gerber flats as a shower gift, but have never used them as anything but burp cloths....maybe I will get brave and try them ;)

Flip All in 2
In my experience, and from what I know, it won't hurt the baby to have microfiber touching their skin, unless your baby is sensitive to it. With the Flips, You want the suede layer against baby's skin because that is what will wick the moi…

Whats in your Fluffy Wish List?
Amie- I have some Fuzzibunz OS that were very gently used and in excellent condition (no stains, very minor pilling) that come with two inserts and replacement elastic. I am going to post them on the FSOT section here, but if your interested, let me…

EEK! We're moving in 4 months!
Cool! Southern California is a world of its own, especially when you compare it to where I live in northern California. But Disneyland is down there, definitely a plus!

Anyone else having trouble with Pockets at night?
I'm not sure if I'm over or under stuffing, how can you tell? I will put a Best Bottoms hemp doubler with a microfiber insert into a Kawaii Goodnights heavy wetter diaper, or a microfiber with two Thirsties hemp doublers since those are sm…

Setting up a stash for first baby
I used newborn prefolds (3 dozen) and had Bummis and Thirsties covers (6 NB covers worked for me, and the Thirsties Duo Wrap size one was great because my son grew SO fast over the first few weeks that it just grew with us). While its true that they…

How do you make prefolds and flats work at night?
I tried a Flip organic "insert" which is more like a cross between a prefold and a flat, with a thirsties hemp doubler folded up inside it and a fleece insert on top with a Flip cover and it worked! That's as brave as I've got ye…

Is the Magic diaper really worth it?
Michelle- I've seen them used on Diapper Swappers, Cloth Diaper Trader (which I just learned about thanks to Autumn ;), and even EBay! The only thing that gets me about buying used is that most of the time it seems like they are only a couple d…

Prepping your diapers
Hi :) All the micro fiber inserts I have only required one washing to prep and they were ready to go. As far as cotton goes, yes, it needs several washing to prep them so they are absorbent (if you get brand new cotton prefolds they will be really …

Snappi or Pin? What do you use?
MayumiMom- my son is 10 months old and I occasionally still snappi prefolds, but diaper changes have become such a challenge (he HATES to lay still for a diaper change to the point where he cries pretty much every time) that when I do use prefolds t…

Tell me about the Organic Flip inserts.
I just recently bought some flips with the organic insert and I love them on my 22 lb 10 mon old. They fit nice, I don't find them to be bulky at all (although I don't know how their bulkiness compares to the Flip SD insert), and they'…
