Day 3 - MATCHING - throw back to 2016 - Unless you are a cloth diapering parent this string of matching big and little diapers made like zero sense #pregnancyannouncement for #2under2 but my cloth diaper friends got it I don’t think I have any matches left today but I did enjoy a mini stash of matching bums #gcdc2019 #greatclothdiaperchange #newbornclothdiapers #clothdiapers #smartbottoms #thirstiesbaby #easypeasies #bumgenius

When it comes to “on the go” diapering I’ve been liking my diaper pod. I haven’t used an actual diaper bag in a long time.. I also don’t leave the house often though lol. . . Diaper pods make a great “short trip” diaper bag for cloth diapering on the go! I made a recent video about what diaper pods are if you’re curious about what they are. . . #gcdc #gcdc2019 #greatclothdiaperchange #greatclothdiaperchange2019 #realdiapers #makeclothmainstream #clothdiapers #clothdiaper #clothdiapering

I never used to hang dry my covers. But then some of my PUL began crumbling and now I baby my cloth diapers a little more. I think it’s more the hot water but hey I keep finding things in my dryers from kid pockets so let’s keep it safe. . . Everything else goes in the dryer including fitteds and AIO diapers. . I know that hanging everything to dry would reduce overall energy consumption and costs but I don’t like crunchy diapers. Instead I make a more conscious effort to hang to dry everything else in my life To reduce consumption there. Because a T-shirt dries so much quicker than a hemp insert. Checks and balances . . I solidly do not believe there is a wrong way to hang pockets or cloth diaper covers and the obsession over it causes more grief than it’s worth. Instead I think you should be worried about how hard an agitator is in your diapers and remember that UV rays break down elastics. . . #gcdc2019 - day 11 - drying

Day 6 - STASH SHOT - I go through weird relationships with my cloth diapers. This is from 2016. It’s my stash of AIO and pocket cloth diapers that I grew increasingly frustrated with and decided to go back to basics and hide them in the closet. Throwing it back because I’ve shared a Stash Shot recently. . . Cloth Diapering doesn’t have to be a rabbit hole. . . Some people cloth diaper from birth to training pants with 25 diapers. I’m looking at you Kerri, previous owner of Cozy Bums. . . Cloth Diaper Bloggers like me are a fountain of knowledge because of our endless passion and experience but our stashes shouldn’t be considered the norm. My stash is a library for learning . . It doesn’t have to be dozens of diapers. This pressure for more continues to make $6 diapers considerably more attractive and that consumption cycle bothers me. . Take today to show off your stash no matter how big or small. NEVER EVER feel shamed or judged for your stash. Own your experience and advocate for different

Day 19 - #gcdc2019 airtime is not mandatory, looks different for different people but can really help with some rashes and irritations. #clothdiapers . . When they started moving, I liked to do a loose flat pinned on. This gives a little more air with the comfort of not having my house peed on. It also shows me when baby pets do I can promptly change because one of the reasons rashes happen can be from infrequent changes. . . For us, one of the best ways to manage rashes in the early days was staying on top of wetness. And that didn’t mean synthetic stay dry laters but more regular changes, thoroughly drying the area, and occasionally letting them kick and be free. . . It’s less of an issue in toddlerhood. That said we spend a lot of time running around without pants and trying to learn about the potty

Day 2 #GCDC2019 - ON THE BUM - Cloth Diapers are bulky, eh? part of is perspective, if you don’t know anything but a paper bum, then yes it’s bulky. Part of it is the contents of the diaper and the fit of the diaper. This is a medium prefold in an @ampdiapers OS diaper on a 9 month old. it’s about adjusting the rise setting, pulling the elastics in the crease, folding the inserts, admitting no matter what a OS diaper on a newborn looks a little ridiculous and practicing. I think of the lot of bulk out there is multiple microfibre inserts and poor fit. #howtoclothdiaper #clothdiapertips #clothdiaperbasics #clothdiapering #greatclothdiaperchange #ampdiapers

Spring The first day of the @clothrecord IG photo challenge is brought to by “Oh Deer” a adorable @nugglesdiapers print. I had this for my daughter so when I spotted it in @lagoonbaby it brought back memories. If you want this print in a full sized diaper I am also giving away in a size 2 cover on my Facebook Page #giveaway #gcdc2019 #greatclothdiaperchange #gcdc #nuggleslove #lagoonbaby

Day 17 #gcdc2019 Dunk or Swish. . This blurry video never made the cut and needs to be redone. Nonetheless, I’m a soak and swish kinda girl. Let the diaper soak for a few minutes come back and swish off all the funk. . . get your hands dirty because there’s always soap to wash up afterwards . . It’s still worth it because if you wanna save money or save the earth you have to get your hands dirty. Don’t be scared of gross things. This fear of the gross is what costs us money and the Earth . . I’ll collect poopy diapers when we were pooping multiple times a day. But once a day now and try to get to them ASAP. . The trick is change the bum QUICKLY. As soon as they sit in it, the diaper becomes a disaster. . . I tried liners and it didn’t work for me. I hated remembering to add them and they seemed like they just got the poop even messier. I had a sprayer and shield but we had constant bathroom leaks even with it turned off. . . This just feels easiest. Soap to wash up. And it forces me to clean the toilet regularly #itsjustpoop
