Diapers

So a little birdie (thanks Erin!) told me I should post about cloth diapers. All the diapers I will discuss are one size diapers. This means they fit babies 8lbs to 35lbs; all the way to potty training. I'll post more about diapers in later posts.

Here are the kids in their Flip diapers. I love these and they wear this kind when we are at home. You just swap out the insert for a clean one, unless there is poop then the whole thing is washed.

I placed an opened Flip diaper to the side so you can see how it works.

Jenna and Gigi have been making diapers. They need a waterproof outer cover on them, but they are so cute without the cover. These will get more absorbent with use (new diapers usually could use a few washing to increase absorbency).

FYI pregnant ladies: I stole a waterproof blue pad from the hospital and it's under this blanket. That way if the babies pee it won't go on the carpet. You should steal one for yourself too!

Storing the diapers is challenging. I wanted them within reach, but I didn't have shelves up. So I repurposed a toy organizer and filled it with cloth diapers.

I have the ones I use during the day (Flip) closest to the changing table. Then the open red bin is for the flip covers as I use them to put a new insert in as needed. The night time diapers are farthest from the changing table. I'll discuss night time diapers in later posts. The second row has the homemade diapers and the covers and inserts are next to them. Then I have more night time diapers on the right. The third row has socks, bibs, and diapers for traveling. I'll discuss these diapers in later posts. The lowest row has the old school cloth diapers and some breathable covers in case there is a rash that needs to breath to heal faster. I also have some fleece there for when we get to solid poops. I'm still using disposable wipes, so I have a trash can to the left of the changing table. I have a wet bag hanging to the right of the changing table for dirty diapers.

I keep the clothes we wear most often under the changing table. On the bed we have our feeding setup: two boppy pillows for babies and then the twin nursing pillow and stool for me. There are burp clothes everywhere because Michael spits up a lot.
