Hi! Cloth mama here too! Just a few things I noticed. My 21 month old is still on one rise snap down. It can change over the babys growth so dont be afraid to snap it back down and get a good leg fit. Also, onesies can wick moisture from the legs. Also, there are way more affordable diapers out there, such as alvas, kawaii baby, ecoable, elf, and more. Also there are places that help with diaper need such as the cloth option and Jake's diapers. Thank you for sharing that cloth can be doable!!

I’m so so happy they are helpful!!

Fuck yeah!! So happy when youtubers are inclusive to the deaf community

Amen! The subtitles suck usually 😭

I’m not deaf or hard of hearing, but sometimes I genuinely want to watch something but not have to listen to it. I do subtitles a lot for that reason. Maybe that’s weird?

I go extra hard for KZfaqrs that go the extra mile to convenience their consumers. But of course you are right, all KZfaqrs should do it bc for some it’s necessity not convenience

More fool you

@@doyouhearthepeoplesing2 Huh?

@@kewi5 only idiots re use dirty nappies

@@annieroydube i didnt

I like that idea too!! We weren't going to do cloth diapering cause most child care won't do it... but now it's like... why not do it part time

Amazing!!!! What did you use to learn? I’m looking to buy a book!

Where can I get more info about this? I did disposables and cloth with my son, but mostly cloth from like 6 months until he potty trained at like 1.5-2ish years old but now 12 years later I'm pregnant again and I have both kinds of diapers but potty training an infant and skipping the diapers all together seems so cool. Do they have to know how to sit up first to do it? If there's a really good book or yt video on the subject please let me know!! It wasn't hard to potty train my son but im having a girl now so I'm not sure how different it would be. Does the baby wipe themselves too or do they just go in the toilet and you still clean them up?

What has been your experience with Bum Genious cloth diapers so far?

Good for you! What a find!

this is so helpful!! I’m having my first and going to be cloth diapering/going eco friendly and as low waste as possible- this definitely helps with the wipes portion! I’ve made a few wipes myself but I definitely find comments like these super helpful for getting the best fabric

Lol me too 😂

That’s amazing! You’re a lucky girl😍

Don't feel discouraged if it doesn't work the first few days and there are a lot of leaks... There's a really step learning curve. We cloth diapered our girl from 6 to 24 months and she was toilet trained afterwards (27 months over night) . It's a huge money saver and we had fewer (no) blowouts with cloth diapers.

Great point!

That's a good point. I think compared to disposable diapers cloth are still more environmentally friendly.

There’s a lot of resources that go into making disposables and they only get used once and fill up the landfills. Also with cloth diapers, you can use them for multiple children, and even pass them on to other parents later so they last a long time before they are in the landfill.

​@@heyshaylayes, please add a note in your video mentioning this, I was about to write this before seeing it was already mentioned in a top comment. It's the type of details that is important to convince people, and the way you talk about it in your video leaves a gray area for thinking disposable could be not that bad. Great video otherwise, thank you!

One normal disposable diaper takes about 500 years to decompose

The world needs more people like you. Happy Holidays

@@kaylamccarthy8507 😊😊😊

Omg sooooo nice!!!!

Which brand did you use?

Emma Mele we used Bum Genius

Omg that is what i plan to do. Forget clothes, baby shoes and items i probably will never use. I need all these things. Im thinking of every making my own liners if necessary.

I'm hoping to get a few from the registry 🤞 maybe someone will be nice and get the entire stash for us

So good to hear!!

👏👏👏👏

Thank you!!

Used cloth diapering 🙋🏼‍♀️

I love that you said that. I cloth diapered my son super part time in the early months then from 6 months on most of the time but that was 12 years ago and at the time it was like the more expensive diaper types were so heavily promoted that I never tried any cheaper methods and took a long time to get enough of them together but now with Amazon and other websites with so many more options and less stigma around cheap ones being bad ive seen so many more people doing it and I was able to actually get enough of them together again with all the other baby stuff I needed to get all over again even before I have my baby this April since my son is 12 now and I didnt have any baby stuff left anymore. I think all you need to really do is find what your willing to try using that has decent enough reviews and fits your budget and just buy them. If your not the type to want to sit there and fold a basket of regular laundry then don't buy 3 dozen flats and some covers because you won't be happy and probably will give up. I think universally most people can afford pocket diapers or at least a few at a time and the inserts don't have to be complicated unless you make them that way, just add more if its not enough to soak up the pee and that just seems kind of common sense. If you don't even want to bother with the pockets like stuffing and figuring out the inserts then all in one's are easy. I don't even think they need to be all the same kind either. If you buy 12 pockets and 12 all in one's you still have 24 diapers and half of them are easy and the other half are slightly more work but at least you don't have the work of 24 pockets. Just whatever works for you. And I think for inserts people make it too complicated, just buy whatever kind you want and if it doesn't soak up the pee buy a different material or use double or triple. I like prefolds and pockets, I think the prefolds wash easier and seem to soak up a lot and the pockets are easy for people to figure out how to put on if you already have it stuffed for them. I would never hand a babysitter a flat diaper and a cover and snappy and expect them to figure it out so I do think it's good to consider that you won't be the only one changing the baby's diaper so if you can't figure it out nobody else will want to either.

Loved EC training, both kids were potty trained at 15 months. You will definitely need a special potty for the car though.

Oh this is great to know!! Thank you!

Did you follow a tutorial for the elastics?

@@TpyoQueen - I watched a video about it for my specific diapers, it was tedious, but so worth it.

Thank you!!

The comments of this video also have a ton of good info!

Having tried a bunch what is your favorite?

@@heyshayla I haven't started. I'm 17 weeks pregnant. I'm going to thoroughly strip them and then wash them a bunch of times first.

Omggggg it would be so fun! If you know someone who can set it all up for me I’m down 😂

Our washing machine broke and I switched to disposables and it made me love cloth even more!

@@heyshayla ooooh I’m already addicted and I’m doing 80/20 too so I’m scared of something like this happening 😫

Love to hear that!!!

I agree the sooner the better! So so awesome you started at 8 weeks and it’s successful!!

Which oils do you use? Thanks for the info!

@@armanimojo7516 Just the ones which come along with the set. For the bum it's lavender and chamomile, I believe, and the mucky box comes along with lemon and teatreeoil. Something like that. It's just a few drops per box. We use vinegar for the mucky box instead or throw used wipes into the wetbag right away. There are KZfaq videos which probably explain it better than I do, but it's a pretty simple system. :)

What type of cloth do you use? I've gotten some gauze cloths but the seem thin and rough. I did read that it goes softer over time with washing though. :)

dawn for life in Switzerland I bought mine on amazon from Ginas soft cloth shop. They’re 2 ply organic cotton. Good so far! Getting softer with more washes

I love my flats and covers ( modern rubber pants) so much fun learning the different folds!

Thank you!

@@heyshayla I feel like some people over complicate the wash routine thing, though, tbh. People get pretty crazy about wash routines but I've been going for awhile let's see 6 months-ish, and it's just laundry... no issues here. I just use regular tide. I was them normally and do an extra rinse like you mentioned.... I have not needed to strip yet no stink issues.

I have been cloth diapering for 3 children now and have never put detergent in the first wash always a rinse and spin. Then do a power wash with double rinses. After about a year we get stinks but then strip.

Or fluff love university site. They have detergent guidelines and they're admins are helpful at getting a wash routine set up with you.

Mainstream detergents work the best imo, ive tried almost everything in the last 5 years of cloth diapering and Tide free & gentle is where it's at

It’s so overwhelming to decide but once you start it’s not so bad!

Can’t wait! We’re already at 4 months so I think I’m a little late already!

What did you do during night time? if you don't mind me asking.

Soo good to know!!!! Thank you!

Definitely check out facebook groups for cloth diapers!

I’ve heard good things about drying in the sun too!!

@@heyshayla a little dawn dish soap and a tooth brush will help with the butt paste stains! And sunning helps with stains! It might not get it all out but definitely helps!

Oh good!!!!

Thank you!!
