I wonder if you can recommend ways to keep the nappies really clean, I wash the nappies on a 40/30 degree, 36 min wash cycle. When possible I add Tea tree oil, but I usually use a small amount of Dettol in the wash to disinfect them. Did you mention white vinegar? I am looking for good, cheap alternatives that I can readily get hold of and is also kind to the washing machine. (I live in the Caribbean so the sun bleaches my nappies really well but I want to make sure that washing at a low temperature the nappies are disinfected) Thanks in advance...

I just put away my freshly-prepped stash today, and it didn't even occur to me to put the inserts IN the diapers and then put them away. Now, I have to go back and do it all over again =P Oh gosh, thank you for this.

I personally used the prefolds with DS 1 (5 years ago) and thought we weren't going to be blessed with another baby. I used the cloths for painting towels in my art classroom for two years (daily washing with abrasive tempera paints: and teenager abuse). They're still in good enough shape to reuse for our little one arriving soon. We did order more prefolds, since I lost quite a few - and grandma took about a half-dozen for more dust rags - but we are reusing all our old bummi-wraps. We washed the wraps daily and the prefolds daily or every other day.

My daughter is 2 and I have wanted to use cloth diapers ever since she was little but was so overwhelmed by all the information and could never figure out what all these terms meant and the processes no matter how much I read about it. Now after reading this series and watching the videos i TOTALLY understand everything now and feel like I can definitely do this next go around since we are ttc this year!

I want to change to cloth diapers for my newborn baby girl and I'm trying to buy them little by little to have a good amount to able to start. How many do you think I would need for a month old baby so I can do a once a week laundry? Is that too much? Should I expect to wash them twice a week?

They are so informative! I'm a FTM and going to CD. I'm so overwhelmed by the whole process of CD, and just worrying bout the mess and fuss. I feel a lot better now after watching your videos! So thank you again. Hi, thank you so much for uploading those videos. They are so informative! I’m a FTM and going to CD.

I am expecting my second baby in June. With my first baby I did a lot of research but finally decided to stick with disposables because we lived in an apartment building and our washing situation was not that great. We had a washer and dryer in our apartment, but they were in the master bedroom closet and were old and broke down a lot. Now that we have a laundry area I decided to look into it again for our second baby. Last time I felt like I spent hours searching for information but found very little helpful advice. This time I feel like I know everything I need to from your posts and videos. My husband is still Pro Disposable diapers, and is not excited about switching. After seeing you videos, I know we can make the switch and it won't be that painful for him. Thank you so much!! I can't tell you how much these videos helped me to feel empowered to switch to cloth diapers!
