If you don’t already know, I have an almost 8 month old and almost 2 year old, and both are cloth diapered.  We mostly cloth diaper to save money, but also believe cloth diapers are more comfy for baby bums!

When I was pregnant with Peyton I made several cloth diapers and was also given some hand-me-down diapers to use.  This worked great and was all I needed to get started.

I also came up with a great way to make THE BEST cloth diaper inserts!  They are affordable and made using materials that are easy to find.   I use flannel fabric and microfiber towels.  Check out the full video tutorial to find out how to make them!  Click HERE to watch!

Here are the towels I use in the tutorial:

After having Skyler I quickly figured out we didn’t have enough diapers and I sure didn’t have time to make any new ones now!

So instead I found really great, affordable cloth diapers on Amazon!

I chose Alva diapers because I had heard good things about them from other cloth diapering mamas and the price was right!

Check out my first cloth diaper haul HERE!

I just ordered another batch of cloth diapers because Skyler is outgrowing a lot of the diapers I had made.   You can find my newest haul HERE!  It includes the haul as well as a review of the Alva diapers shown in the previous video.

I think {hope} we are finally set with enough cloth diapers!

Are you wanting to get into cloth diapering??  Need some help getting started?  My friend Archy has a playlist full of cloth diapering videos that I learned a lot from!  You can find it HERE!  She covers everything from different types of diapers to how to wash them.

One thing you will definitely need for cloth diapering is a wet bag!  

You use wet bags to hold dirty cloth diapers.  I have a small one I keep in our diaper backpack and a really large one to hold all the dirty diapers until diaper laundry day.

Learn how to make your own wet bag using this tutorial.

I have a playlist full of all things pregnancy and cloth diaper related (including weekly baby bump pics and name reveals)!  I love going back and watching the videos now that the girls are here 🙂  You can check out all those fun videos HERE!

Have any questions about the diapers I bought or anything else cloth diaper related??  Feel free to leave your questions in the comments and I will do my best to answer them!  I hope this all made some sort of sense…I’m writing this blog post while Skyler is practicing standing and clinging to my arm 🙂

I’ll have a new video up on Wednesday, but until then, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
