Baby Stuff Series - Diapering

Diapering - I highly recommend practicing Elimination Communication (EC) with your child and using cloth diapers!! This is a great thing to try with your child. I'm sure that there are other things to note if you must use disposable, but I don't have a lot of experience with that. Please consider cloth! It's a really great option. Here is what you'll need to do this:

• Cloth Diapers – There are so many brands and styles it's amazing. All-in-ones, pocket diapers, and prefolds, fitteds, contours with covers are the main "styles" to choose from.


• Diaper Bag (recommend Ameribag Healthy Back Baby Bag!)


• 2-3 Wet Bags


• Diaper Rash Cream (try them all, rotate through, use coupons!)


• Wipes


• 2 buckets with tight-fitting lids (1 five gallon, one smaller)


• OxyClean


• Detergent


• Baking Soda


• Vinegar


• Research elimination communication (EC) and try it with your child!

I'm sure that there are other things to note if you must use disposable diapers, but I don't have a lot of experience with that. We used the disposables we got for baby showers and what they gave us at the hospital for the first month or so until they got used up. Washing diapers is really easy compared the the amount of money I would have spent on buying diapers to get soiled and thrown away - give them a try!
