Cloth Diapering: The Stash

The other week I bought 12 more cloth diapers from our local kids boutique. I decided on the FuzziBunz brand, one size diapers. Each diaper comes with two inserts. The inserts are the white fleece pads.

 I couldn't bring myself to buy 12 white diapers, but I did stay away from gender specific colors like purple and pink. I figure a girl can always wear blue and brown, but a boy...not so much. I already had one brown diaper and also bought a butter cream yellow and another light blue, which are not pictured. I really like the bright colors. I bet they could sell more if there were a larger range of colors or patterns.

Sean's bum is too cute in his cloth diapers.

 This is the soap I bought, Rock in Green, for $17.99.  You can see its good for 45/90 loads. Obviously, that's a big difference in how long the soap will last. Depending on how many diapers you are washing and how often, oh and if you use the soap for your regular clothes can change that number.

 And this is the wet bag to throw the dirty diapers in. It's quite large and washable.

 The inside is softer and the outside is a water resistant plastic.

The remaining items I need are a travel wet bag and some washable wipes. The travel wet bags are around 15 dollars. It is basically the same material as the large bag. As far as wipes, why have washable diapers but not washable wipes. Cloth wipes are sold in my local store but the store owner even said they were too pricey for what they are. She recommended using baby wash cloths. They can be stored in the white wipes case along with a little water and soap (Johnson and Johnson Head to Toe baby wash). And can be washed along with the diapers. A cloth diapering friend bough a yard of fleece, cut into small pieces, surged the edges and uses those as wipes. I have many baby wash clothes so I'll try that first and if that fails go for the fleece. 

I'm excited to be starting the cloth diapering gig. It is really not as intimidating as it once seemed. It's just like anything you're unfamiliar with, scary to dive into. But once you learn about it, it's easy peasy!
